Datong Hotels with Pools

"This is a wonderful hotel to stay for a weekend. It’s location is very close to the Ancient Town and the City Centre. There are wonderful restaurants and coffee shops within a 500m radius. Some of the rooms are due for some restoration, but I would definitely recommend this hotel for a weekend trip. P.S. the bath tub is wonderful after a long trip!"

"The hotel's facilities are excellent, but the service was extremely disappointing. I specifically booked a large suite for four days to relax and chat with friends and play cards. However, two unfriendly guests next door fabricated stories, claiming we knocked on the wrong door and made noise. In reality, we were always careful to keep quiet. Despite this, the hotel, without verifying the facts, sent staff to disturb us multiple times in the middle of the night—they opened our door three times and we received a phone call. To prove our innocence, we even went to the surveillance room and confirmed from the footage that we never knocked on the wrong door. Overall, the hotel's handling and resolution of disputes were quite unprofessional."

"You truly appreciate the difference when you have something to compare it to. I first stayed at Datong Hotel thirty years ago, so naturally, it was my top choice for this visit to Datong. Let's start with the 'positives'. For my first night, I chose the VIP building, thinking that with the country's rapid development, hotel accommodations must have advanced significantly. The promotional materials also touted its spacious and new rooms. However, upon checking in, I felt it wasn't worth the price. The front desk clearly had better rooms available but was unwilling to offer them without an additional charge for these 'so-called' superior rooms. It makes me wonder if the front desk staff has ever stayed in a four-star hotel or above. The VIP building's only real 'plus' was its larger space; otherwise, nothing felt particularly impressive. In the VIP building, the bathroom fixtures were broken, the walls didn't appear thoroughly scrubbed, and the carpet was dirty. This judgment was drawn from a direct comparison. Dissatisfied with the VIP building, I decisively checked out and opted for the old building, where I had stayed three decades ago. I was touched by the elderly gentleman at the front desk even before seeing the room. Upon checking in, I discovered that apart from the room size being smaller than in the VIP building, everything else was equally good, if not better. The elderly gentleman at check-in introduced the amenities along the way – his service was truly commendable, and I plan to get his name for a special mention in a future review. The old building's walls were freshly painted, and the carpet was notably cleaner than in the VIP building. The toiletries also felt superior to those in the VIP building. The headboard cushions were clean and tidy, and the curtains were elegantly neat and clean. Suggestions for the old building: The TV is quite old; replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. Attention to detail is crucial: the faucet handles, though old, have a noble appearance. The only imperfection is the missing small cap on the handle – a small blemish on an otherwise noble piece. The bathtub drain was malfunctioning. The shower curtain could be raised slightly higher. Since there are paintings, their frames should be clean and clear. The small cap on the toilet seat was also missing. Most importantly, the bathroom floor was quite slippery; measures should be taken to prevent guests from falling. Additionally, the old building's self-promotion is lacking. Enlarged photos of renowned figures who once stayed here should be displayed prominently. No other hotel in Datong boasts such an honor, and that's precisely your unique selling point."

"I recently stayed at this hotel and the overall experience was very satisfactory. The hotel is in a good location, close to the city center and very convenient to travel. The rooms are clean and tidy, well equipped, and the beds are comfortable, making people sleep well. The hotel's service staff are friendly, warm and thoughtful, and are always ready to help guests solve problems. The breakfast is rich and varied, the taste is good, and it makes people full of vitality all day. Overall, this hotel performed exceptionally well, in terms of location, facilities and service. I highly recommend this hotel and will choose to stay again."

"先上結論：大同及周邊最優秀的民宿，與其他價格相近的住宿比，雲泥之別。 初五入住，這個時間在山裡是淡季，城裡是旺季，因為害怕人多，選擇在山裡避一避。 房間中所有的物件，傢俬，都是最頂尖的水平，從看起來就價值萬金的床，到及其順手的茶壺，充足的暖氣，兩個熱水器，我們使用了房間裏的所有物品和設備，硬件上，無可挑剔。 當然，如果僅是硬件，不足夠讓我寫好評。 當晚提前跟老闆點了菜，廚師的水平遠超山西平均水平，是對自己做的菜有要求的人。端到房間後我們開始吃，外面開始放起來煙花，作為民宿裏當時唯一的客人，真的被寵到了！"
