A hidden gem hotel with an average price of just 50+ truly understands travelers

Before coming to Datong, I was overwhelmed trying to find accommodation. Homestays in the ancient city easily cost several hundred yuan, and those outside the city were too far and inconvenient. Until a friend recommended this Najia Hotel (Datong Ancient City Branch), I realized that you can have both great value and a wonderful experience! At just 50+ per person, they perfectly grasp what "travelers need." After staying three days and two nights, I’m completely impressed and sincerely recommend it to everyone visiting Datong! 🌟 Location is perfect! “Just a step away” from the core ancient city attractions Half the reason I chose this hotel was for its location. It’s right around the ancient city, just a 10-minute walk to the city wall, and super convenient for hitting several must-see spots: It’s only a 15-minute walk to Huayan Temple, so no need to rush in the morning. You can leisurely finish breakfast and head over, perfectly avoiding the tour group rush and quietly enjoy the ancient architecture details. The Nine-Dragon Wall and Shanhua Temple are about 20 minutes on foot. When you get tired after sightseeing, you can easily return to the hotel to rest without lugging heavy bags around. Exploring the ancient city’s night scenery is super convenient. After watching the light show, you can walk right back to the hotel—no need to worry about taxis or safety when returning late. The sense of security is top-notch! 🛏️ Rooms so comfortable you won’t want to leave! Focused on “healing your fatigue” I didn’t have high expectations for a room at this price, but I was pleasantly surprised the moment I opened the door. The room isn’t huge but is very well laid out, with thoughtful touches everywhere: The bedding is super soft! After a full day exploring the ancient city, you just sink into the bed. The pillows and comforter are fluffy, and I slept deeply, waking up feeling refreshed. Details are spot on: warm-toned lighting means no glare when using your phone or checking travel guides at night; there’s a small sofa and tea table by the window, perfect for sipping hot tea and relaxing—a little happiness during your trip. Super quiet! Although close to the ancient city, the room’s soundproofing is excellent. I couldn’t hear any outside noise at night and slept well every day during my three-day stay, which is so important for travelers! 🍜 No worries about food and drinks! Surrounded by local specialties What pleased me most was the food and drink options nearby—no need to worry about “where to eat.” Just downstairs is a food hub: Breakfast is super convenient: there’s a local breakfast shop right below the hotel serving fried dough sticks, soy milk, and lamb offal soup, all for just 5 yuan to fill you up—much better value than hotel breakfasts. Local delicacies abound: within a 5-minute walk, there are several restaurants popular with locals. I recommend trying the Datong Shaomai nearby—thin skin, generous filling, dipped in vinegar, one bite is pure satisfaction; also, Hunyuan cold noodles with a slippery texture and chili oil, perfect for summer appetite, all for about 20 yuan per person to eat your fill. Convenient daily life: there’s a convenience store and fruit shop downstairs. You can buy water and snacks before sightseeing, and pick up fresh fruit on the way back to recharge—super convenient with no detours needed. 💁 Heavenly service! Knows your needs better than friends The front desk service really adds extra points. It’s not just polite routine but genuinely helpful: When I first arrived, I didn’t know how to plan my itinerary. The front desk lady drew me a simple route map, marked the best times to visit each attraction, and told me “Huayan Temple’s sunlight at 3 PM is best for photographing the ancient architecture’s light and shadow.” Following her advice, I avoided any pitfalls. A friend traveling with me forgot her facial cleanser, and the front desk gave her a small travel-sized bottle; when we wanted to send postcards, they helped find stamps and even helped stick them on—more thoughtful than friends! Before leaving, I asked where to buy authentic yellow sesame cakes as souvenirs. They recommended a local old shop popular with residents, cheap and delicious—much more reliable than souvenir shops in tourist areas! ✨ Summary: Datong accommodation - great value If you’re visiting Datong and want a comfortable, convenient stay without spending too much, choosing Najia Hotel (Datong Ancient City Branch) is definitely the right choice! Great location, comfortable rooms, convenient food and drink options, and super thoughtful service—all for just 50+ per person. The happiness you get is truly worth it! I’ve already recommended this hotel to several friends going to Datong, and next time I visit, I’ll definitely stay here again!
