I have to say this is the best accomodation in my entire Shanxi trip in which i stayed in 5 facilities. I truly appreciate the service provided, i got what i needed in a timely manner. As a solo traveller in a foreign country (i can speak simple mandarin, but cannot read chinese), i was glad that the proprieter could pick me up from Pingyaoguzhen station. Although i initiated the request, from then on, about 5 minutes before the train arrived Pingyao, he was proactive to send me a voice message on wechat when he arrived at the station and shared a photo to identify himself. The journey was 15 minutes in the car, followed by a tuk tuk as cars are not allowed to enter the ancient city during the day. The point of entry to the facility is via the north gate, it is a 3 minutes walk to Ma family mansion and about 10 minutes walk to the centre of the ancient city where most of the good restaurants are located. I booked a traditional chinese design room on the ground floor with the dragon-phoenix bed and another day bed. I did not ask, but i guess the facility is an old house that was built more than 100 years ago, there is a sign at the external wall of the homestay that indicate it is a protected building. As it was an old house, i was surprised that the room was clean, just the bathroom was slightly deteriorated (there is no separation of wet vs dry). The blanket in traditional dragon & phoenix design and traditional pillows with seed-like fillings were clean and odourless, i was so glad. Although the mattress was quite thin, it was not hard, i was glad. The proprieter gave me a map and explained the layout of the old city how to get around, where to eat, and help arranged shared car to Qiao family mansion. Upon checking out, i was given a bottle of locally brewed vinegar. The proprieter was not around when i left, he sent me voice message to arrange transport for my trip to the train station. I actually felt sorry when i told him that i booked another place in the more happening area of the ancient city (south gate) after checking out from his place. There are many buggy cars operating in the ancient city, charging ¥10/trip, you can tell the driver your desired destination and he/she will drop you at the door step or the closest drop off point if that area is not accesible.

Great location. Only 5 mins walk to the HuaYan Temple entrance. Plenty restaurant nearby. 老柴knife-cut noodle just nearby (like their fried noodle). Famous SiewMai LJX also 7mins walk away.
代王府Just 10mins away. Bus stop just right in front of the hotel. Very convenient.
Room is small, especially I carrying a M size check-in luggage. Found a space to place and open my luggage. But lucky I was alone without companion or another luggage. But just nice for me, small room but cozy.
Customer service is very good. They are helpful provided me some tips to tour around the city. Even recommend me rent public bicycle. I was having so much fun in Datong thanks to this hotel friendly customer services.
The hotel saw that it was quite new and very clean. It arrived at more than two o'clock in the morning in the evening. The store had been waiting. It was very warm. The room was still clean. The bed was brand new. I slept very sleepy. The next day I got up and asked a lot of questions about the scenic spot, and the store brother has been patiently answering. I recommend this hotel.

From start to finish everything was perfect! The communication was easy and friendly, and they came to pick us up when we arrived at the north gate of the town. So nice! The owner speaks English which was helpful.
The hotel is in a quiet sidestreet and is very cute. Good looking courtyard inside and spacious rooms. Clean and comfortable.
The owners helped a lot with planning our stay and we would stay again if we ever come back!
Perfect stay experience! Highly recommended!
I recently stayed at Shanxi Wenlv Xuting Hotel and I have to give it a five-star rating! From booking to check-out, every detail makes people feel the hotel's care and professionalism. I believe it will make foreign tourists feel at home.
Environmental facilities: The room is simple and advanced in design, with dry and wet separation, easy to use, and disposable compressed towels are provided. The bedding is soft and comfortable, so you can sleep until you wake up naturally. The snacks provided were also delicious.
Excellent location: very close to Bell Tower Street, surrounded by convenience stores and restaurants, you can easily get a midnight snack.
Bonus: The lady at the front desk helped me put away the clothes in the dryer and brought them up with a robot, which was very considerate. The hotel also provides free foot baths, noise-isolating earplugs, etc., and the most thoughtful thing is that they also provide contact lens solution. The late check-out at 14:00 is very user-friendly, and the time is much more relaxed.
Next time I come to play nearby, I will choose here again.

The newly opened Ming and Qing Ancient Rhyme Inn is located in the ancient city. The courtyard and rooms are clean and tidy, and the bedding is fine and comfortable.
The store personally picked up and dropped off the car from the parking lot, which was very thoughtful and attentive!
Shanxi mature vinegar and sea buckthorn juice were also given as gifts🙏🙏🙏

The location of the homestay is very good, not far from the east gate and south gate, the boss will provide pick-up service to the parking lot in advance. The whole homestay is an independent small courtyard. It is very quiet to fall asleep at night. Don't worry about the number of people outside the ancient city affecting sleep. The rooms are all characteristic earthworms. The house is very clean and clean. The disposable supplies are complete. There are also disposable bath towels and face towels. If you want to feel earthworms, you can choose a characteristic earthworm room. The boss will also provide a map of the ancient city, and help plan the route of the ancient city, and also mark the performance time intimately, which is convenient for sightseeing. There are restaurants and travel photography shops 20 meters away from the homestay, and it is very convenient to eat and travel photography. In the famous hotel in the ancient city of Dianping, the boss also has a membership card. You can discount the membership if you show it. The taste is quite good. Overall, this homestay is great, no thunder, it is recommended.

GGuest UserWe stayed at thos lovely hotel. Lovingly restored by the current owner Mr Wang. He is the 6th generation owner of the property.
Until 10 years ago it was a derelict and dilapidated building. He poured money, time, blood, sweat and tears to restore it
And it does feel and look like a traditional house.
You feel you are going back in time.
Firstly the customer service is way beyond the call of duty. Its so good, i would recommend staying with mr Wang at whatever hotel he runs.
He picked us at the Lower East Gate, and brought us to the hotel, then took nearly half an hour to explain in great detail where we need to visit, whether the sights be in the city or outside the city.
Some of his suggestions, not on the tour books were very good . For example he suggested 3 restaurants, and we avoided them thinking he was getting a kickback.on our 4th and last day we tried restaurant no 2 of his. And it was good , the food and service were good. The prices were average with other restaurants and we got a 10% discount being the hotel's guests. And remember we had eaten 10 meals by the time we came to his suggestions.
Another suggestion of Mr Wang was Ma family home - also a very good tip from him.
Everytime we had a request or question he always responded with enthusiasm.
On our last day we checked out at 4am and he still took us to the pick up point at that ungodly hour.
Yep Mr and Mrs Wang's customer service is just first class.
The room was large, queen deluxe double, and the furnishings were traditional chinese furniture made of Rosewood. Very Expensive furniture for a hotel room. Shower worked well and was hot. However be aware its chinese style wet floor system ie there is no shower curtain between the shower and a small part of the bathroom does get wet if youare not careful. MR Wang said it will be one his improvement on his priority list. Hopefully by the time you booked the problem will have been resolved
The hotel is very close to the main streets. About 5 min walk.
The city of pingyao is worth visiting, it is one of the very walled cities left in China, with its old buildings intact and people still living it. All the city walls are also intact. Magnificent at night.
GGeorgeI was greeted with a fruit platter during check-in, which was a wonderful welcome gesture considering I left my home about 24 hours earlier, traveling non-stop from California to Datong, China. The Inn provides a wonderful experience for the first-time foreign visitor. The interior decor has that Chinese charm consisting of artwork, a book display, an aquarium with an auspicious collection of 8 large fishes (carp, I think), in-room tea set with an on-table electric stove, which would be unique to most Westerners. The glass flooring adds an extraordinary appeal since I have never experienced that in a hotel before, and I have traveled to dozens of countries.
The Inn is well located, a short bus ride to Datong Railway Station (for non-high-speed rail travel)*, and a short taxi ride to Datong South Railway Station (for high-speed rail travel)**. It is just next to Datong City Wall. You can walk along the top of the City Wall at no cost. A 10-20 minute walk takes you to nearly all the attractions within the ancient City Wall. Here you will also find a variety of restaurants serving local food as well as souvenir shops. There is also a small shop that sells sundry items including drinks (beer included) within a 5-minute walk from the Inn. Across from this sundry shop, is a shop that specializes in ancient Chinese clothing (Hanfu dress). They can dress you up, cosmetics included.
The Inn provides directions to Yujian Yun Gang - a popular destination for travelers to Datong. Here you will see ancient Buddhist cave art, including large and tall (several stories tall) sculptures. It takes two bus rides to get there, 1RMB per ride.
My booking choice was for either a guest room on the 1st or 2nd floor but was assigned a wonderful 2nd-floor guest room.
The owners of the Inn were exceptionally friendly. I met both the mother and her daughter. My room was professionally cleaned and provided with drinking bottled water daily.
If I return to Datong in the future, I will certainly book a room at this Inn.
*I took a train from this station to travel south to Xinzhou after checking out.
**I arrived in Datong from Beijing Daxing International Airport

KKeaiderenzailvxingThe room was very clean. It was a great experience to experience Shanxi's Tukang culture. The air conditioner and shower water were very powerful. The location of the inn is excellent. It is in the city center, quiet in the bustle. It is not far from various attractions and famous restaurants in the ancient city. You will not have to worry about safety issues if you come back late at night. The owner of the inn was very nice. He helped us book tickets for the performance of ”Seeing Pingyao Again” before we arrived. When we arrived, he was very enthusiastic to help us with directions and introduce the features of the ancient city. The little brother from the inn also helped us pick up and drop off our luggage. Every night when we return to the inn, no matter how late it is, we can see the boss waiting for us at the door. The boss said that we should wait until all the guests have returned to the inn before sleeping. He is a very responsible and warm-hearted boss, which is great. The small courtyard of the inn is kept clean and hygienic, and you can leisurely drink a cup of Kung Fu tea, which is very relaxing. Next time I come to Pingyao Ancient City, I will choose to stay here again.
AAnonymous UserThe room was very clean and the service was very thoughtful and welcoming. This should be the best service I have ever stayed in. The hotel is very good, the furnishings are more comfortable, and it is quite stylish. The guidance service at the front desk can also be done. The accommodation environment is quite quiet at night, and the breakfast type and taste are good. Recommended to stay 100 stars.
WWyatttWe had a pleasant stay at Xinyue homestay. A bit hard to find at first, but once you find it and get in touch with the receptionist, everything is fine. The receptionist and her colleague were very helpful trying to meet our needs. The building looks a bit sketchy from the outside but the rooms are clean and top notch. Some of them even have a laundry machine. The little downside is that they provide disposable towels which are too thin and small to wipe off all the water after a shower. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place and would probably stay there again.

GGeorgeI enjoyed my stay at this hotel. There is quite a bit to see around Lingqiu, and I should have stayed one extra night or two. Miss Liu (刘小姐), the front receptionist, was extremely helpful, even going all the way to accompany me to the bus stop to catch the bus heading to the Pingxingguan Battle site. Miss Liu also assisted with booking a cab for my visit to the Jueshan Pagoda. This famous Pagoda was founded before England was established by William the Conqueror (if I am wrong, then pardon me, but the Pagoda was built sometime before 1077 A.D. during the Northern Wei Dynasty). Miss Liu also directed me to the gravesite of King Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty which is right in downtown Lingqiu.
There are numerous restaurants within walking distance of this hotel. One restaurant, next door to the right of the hotel, serves a wondering braised fish; the other a few doors away, sells delicious meat pies.
My room was professionally cleaned and serviced daily.
The hotel even allows me to doze off on the reception floor sofa to await my night train to Beijing.
I will return to this hotel if I return to Lingqiu.
GGuest UserThis hotel is really really beautiful - maybe even more than the photos show. Even though the style is traditional, everything inside the room is new, and there's even an elevator to take up bags. The location is amazing too, inside the old city wall, and I walked everywhere except the out of town attractions I visited. I think anywhere you stay in Datong you might have some communication challenges if you don't speak Chinese, but the owner here was very helpful once I put wechat on my phone to be able to talk with translation help, and he was able to arrange a last minute taxi out to the hanging temple after I had given up trying to get one. However, even though he was very helpful, he wasn't always around, and checking in was a bit difficult because there was nobody at the desk. I think this is only a problem if you don't speak Chinese though.
Unfortunately, the wifi didn't always reach to my room on the 3rd floor well, and I could only get a trickle of hot water out of the shower. Overall though, I was super happy with this place and would recommend it!

FFeimaolaohuang# ”Wei Qing Inn: A quality choice in the ancient city”
😃The experience of staying at Weiqing Inn this time was great🧐The inn is inside the south gate of the ancient city, with an excellent geographical location and convenient to go everywhere.
🌼As soon as I entered the room, I was surprised by the spacious space. The various facilities were also very complete and could fully meet my daily needs.
🛎️Speaking of the service, it is really very good. The staff are enthusiastic and attentive, making people feel as warm as at home. After a day of sightseeing in the ancient city, returning to the inn is like returning to a warm harbor. If I have the chance to come to the ancient city again, I will definitely choose Weiqing Inn 😊
If you also plan to visit the ancient city, you might as well consider this place 😉

BBarbaraD.The location to the hotel is really something, but luckily the hotel staff came to pick us up from where the taxi stopped. The room was okay but in terms of cleanliness, there's still a lot to be done especially in the bathroom. If I were staying for longer it would be a problem using the wc but since it was just a night to catch a flight I'm not too mad. The bathroom was spacious enough and the room as well even though there were two beds, which was good. The overall stay was okay, we had to go back into town and the lovely Mr Lee was very helpful, he drove us back to the roadside to get a taxi and when we got back luckily we met him after the map took us to a wrong route and drove us back to the hotel. The airport was about 6 minutes from the hotel and even though we both had different departure times, one early in the morning and myself late afternoon, we were both taken to the airport as well. I think if the road to the hotel is fixed and they can do some real scrubbing and cleaning it would be a really good place.
