Datong Hotels with Gym

This is the third time my family and I have visited Datong. The first two times we stayed in hotels, but this time we wanted to try a guesthouse. After checking reviews on Dazhong Dianping, we chose Bo.Yuan Guesthouse (Huayan Temple Branch) because of the traveler comments and its 4.9 high rating. The experience was excellent, so I wanted to share my review. The day before our trip, the guesthouse manager proactively called us to discuss our itinerary in Datong and our mode of transportation. She also offered a pick-up service, so we provided our travel details. Before we arrived at Datong South Station, a lady called to confirm the pick-up time and location, and informed us of her arrival time. When we got to the waiting area, we waited for about two minutes. The guesthouse lady called again, repeatedly apologizing for being two minutes late. She reconfirmed our waiting spot and described what she was wearing so we wouldn't miss her. When we met her, she didn't look like a typical pick-up driver, but rather a very elegant and young lady. She greeted my family and me warmly, saying, ”I'm so sorry for being two minutes late. The hotel is quite busy today, and the regular pick-up driver couldn't make it. After they told me, I rushed over to pick you up myself. Our hotel values integrity, and since we promised a pick-up service, even if there was no available car, I couldn't use a ride-hailing app. So, I truly apologize for being a few minutes late.” From this conversation, we learned that she was the female owner of the guesthouse. Throughout the journey, she was very talkative and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. She introduced us to the guesthouse and the unique features of Datong, and soon we arrived at the guesthouse. We chatted a lot with her during the short half-hour drive—perhaps it was fate. **1. Guesthouse Environment and Service:** Upon arriving at the guesthouse courtyard, we found it to be a very distinctive Siheyuan (quadrangle courtyard). The staff were all very enthusiastic, proactively helping us with our luggage and offering us tea. Since we arrived before check-in time, our room was still being cleaned. To minimize our waiting time, the owner personally urged the cleaning staff to finish quickly. She also used the waiting time to introduce us to the guesthouse's room features and restaurant. Once the room was ready, our room was on the second floor. The staff proactively helped us take our luggage up and turned on the air conditioning. Inside the room, it felt wonderful. Although the room retained the ancient charm of a Siheyuan, the infrastructure was very modern and high-tech, featuring central air conditioning, button-controlled panels, a projector instead of a TV, and an electric toilet. The hotel amenities also catered thoughtfully to modern women, such as essential oils in the toiletries, and provided toilet seat covers, disinfectant wipes, and wet wipes. Additionally, the welcome fruit quality was excellent; the owner mentioned she personally selected and purchased everything herself. The room was very quiet. I usually have trouble sleeping, but this time, I didn't experience insomnia due to changing locations. Instead, I slept exceptionally well because of the tranquil courtyard. **2. Guesthouse Breakfast:** From the room to the restaurant, every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly. In the restaurant, the staff proactively introduced the breakfast options and asked if we needed any help. The breakfast selection was very rich, combining Western and Chinese dishes to satisfy every guest's palate. There was vegetable salad, fruit platters, coffee, milk, yogurt, sausages, grilled chicken wings, stir-fried baby cabbage, bread, sweet potatoes, corn, purple rice paste, knife-cut noodles, wontons, and dumplings. The ingredients for these dishes were all personally selected and purchased by the owner, ensuring their freshness. All dishes were freshly prepared by the chef and tasted excellent. Although the restaurant might not be as large or offer as many varieties as four or five-star hotels, the quality of ingredients and taste were certainly on par with their culinary standards. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the big city for a weekend in Datong, our short two-day trip is coming to an end. The cultural heritage of Datong, its unique cuisine, and our stay at Bo.Yuan Guesthouse have all left a wonderful impression on me. Next time I visit Datong, I will definitely choose Bo.Yuan Guesthouse again. I wish the owner great success in her business! See you next time, Datong!

Terrible! I strongly object to secretly leaving positive reviews using a customer's phone. I will definitely leave a positive review if asked, but doing so secretly is going too far. I stayed two nights and placed two separate orders. The first night, I arrived at the hotel at 11 PM, and the door lock wouldn't lock, and the security zipper was missing. The staff tried to fix it, but couldn't. I had to make do for the night without being able to change rooms. The second night, I called to ask for a room change, and they readily agreed and even gave me a gift (two bags of cold noodles and three drinks). My stay was very pleasant. On the third day, when I checked out, the front desk, perhaps afraid of leaving a bad review, asked me to leave a positive review. I said okay, I was in a rush to catch my flight, I'd leave it later. The front desk then said, ”Could you please pull up your Ctrip order so I can check it?” When I handed the phone back, I saw them tap it and return it to me. I realized they had left a positive review. I was in a hurry to get to the airport and didn't have time to leave one. I find this behavior very offensive. Do they treat their customers like dirt? This is the first time I've encountered such an employee among all the Manxin stores nationwide. Shouldn't we improve the quality of our employees?

The location is truly unbeatable. It's inside the ancient city but not right in the middle, offering both convenience and peace and quiet. They even have their own underground parking, which is perfect for those driving. Getting in and out of the ancient city by car is a breeze with no traffic jams, and walking to the city center is super easy! The ambiance here is so charming and historic, it really sets the mood, and the courtyard is fantastic for photos. The service is warm and attentive, and the room was cleaned thoroughly every day. If I ever come back to Datong, I'll definitely choose to stay here again.

If travel is a form of self-comfort in life, then enjoying the journey is an even more wonderful experience. Encountering the Mercure Datong South Station hotel felt like a dream, opulent and grand. In the scorching summer, I enjoyed my holiday time, free from trivial worries, to experience a city, a story, and leave behind laughter. The room was immaculately clean, spotless, and all guest rooms featured luxurious fabrics, furniture, and facilities. The rich yet vibrant color scheme, bold and grand layout, and gracefully natural lines provided me with a comfortable, cozy, and supremely luxurious experience. Everything was perfectly placed and readily available, with smart home controls throughout, including a smart toilet and complimentary soft drinks in the fridge. This truly showcased the hotel's people-oriented, emotionally-driven, and customer-centric service philosophy. The branded toiletries were even more high-end and luxurious. Despite being the height of summer, the room was pleasantly cool. The staff proactively greeted me and were happy to assist with anything, and the self-service laundry made my stay worry-free. The breakfast was also delicious, every dish and drink made me linger and savor the experience. The initial joy of meeting something new must withstand the test of time to become a lasting companion. As time flows by, in my heart and in my eyes, you will always be my exclusive memory – Mercure Datong South Station!

This guesthouse is located within the ancient city, offering great convenience for getting around. The courtyard, with its blue brick architecture, exudes a charming North Shanxi vibe. It's a quiet place, very clean, and the toiletries provided are high-end. The breakfast is exceptionally refined, and the butler service is attentive and responsive to any needs. Staying inside the ancient city makes evening strolls through the night scenery incredibly convenient, which really enhances the travel experience. I'll definitely choose this place again when I visit Datong next time.

A very cozy and comfortable B&B, located right in the ancient town's pedestrian street, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling area. The courtyard is spacious, the rooms are clean, and all amenities are of high quality. Breakfast is plentiful, and the staff are friendly. The location is excellent, with all of the ancient town's attractions within walking distance, which is great when traveling with kids as it saves a lot of hassle. Plus, many popular restaurants often have long queues, but because this place is so close, you can easily grab takeout and enjoy your meal back at the hotel, saving a lot of waiting time. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Datong.

Staying here, for the price, the room amenities are probably among the best in the area. The room came with a Dyson hairdryer, Malin+Goetz toiletries, and I think Ora2 toothpaste, plus a huge vanity. The slippers and bedding were incredibly comfortable. The mini-bar was also very thoughtfully stocked with drip coffee, nuts, and local specialty drinks. Overall, very satisfied. Dining: The breakfast was genuinely excellent and great value. The hot food section offered local Datong specialties that were even better than what you'd find outside. There was also a dedicated daily recommendation for 'local snacks and desserts.' The fruits and other dishes were both abundant and fresh – fantastic. Experience: The service was very attentive. When I was checking out, I had my hands full and couldn't carry a water bottle, so the front desk lady even gave me a cross-body bag for it. In the evening, I enjoyed the complimentary cocktails; the bartender lady introduced many local Datong delicacies, making this trip to Datong even more perfect. I would definitely recommend this to other friends! I also didn't get a chance to use the Haagen-Dazs voucher.

My first long hotel review goes to Datong, and to this truly delightful hotel. The hotel's location is at the North Gate of the ancient city. From my room, I could see the bustling mornings of Datong and the sparkling nights, experiencing the city's ancient charm, local life, and romance all at once. A big thank you to the front desk staff, both the ladies and gentlemen, for their meticulous care. I hope to see you again someday.

This is my second stay here! It's very close to the ancient city, about a 10-minute taxi ride away, and also about 10 minutes from Datong South Station. The hotel has a high star rating, and the butler service is attentive and warm. The rooms are well-equipped with everything you need. It's truly perfect for families, as it allows for separate resting areas while also providing space to work. A big shoutout to the lamb offal soup with vermicelli at breakfast – it was delicious!

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is the right place to stay when visiting the Hanging Temple and Jin Temple. The room and bed are large, especially suitable for bringing children. It is no problem for a family of three to stay in a big bed. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is very cost-effective.
