Datong Hotels with balcony

"Stepping into Datong Ancient City in the afternoon, the first pleasant surprise was stumbling upon Renyi Inn. The inn's antique courtyard, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, and warm red lanterns, instantly brought a sense of calm. The family who runs the inn is incredibly humble and kind, their conversations warm and thoughtful, making you feel right at home. What's even more admirable is their exceptional care for animals; the inn is like a mini-zoo. They treat every little creature with gentleness and patience, which in turn fills the entire courtyard with life and spirit. Upon entering, a majestic grey parrot, both poised and lively, greeted me from the front desk – I'd never seen such a large pet parrot before! Two smaller parrots chirped happily nearby, completely unafraid of strangers, lively and adorable. Outside my room was a small courtyard with two tea tables. After a 'special forces'-style day of temple hopping, when I was tired to the point of tears, sitting there enjoying a cup of tea was incredibly relaxing. In the adjacent fish pond, a dozen or so vibrant koi, each weighing at least two to three pounds, swam gracefully, their bodies stretching elegantly. Next to the pond, a large and a small tortoise slowly ambled, quiet and therapeutic. In a corner cage, a tiny grey squirrel darted around, agile and playful. As dusk fell, watching the lights reflect on the pond and listening to the soft sounds of the small animals, the weariness of travel seemed to melt away in this gentle atmosphere, leaving my heart filled with peace and healing. I thought this wonderful experience was complete, but to my surprise, a new delight awaited me the next morning – two peacocks, 'Wenqing' (blue and white) and 'Xiaofeng' (emerald green), strolled leisurely in the courtyard with their magnificent tails fanned out – yes, they even have names! The eye-spots on their tail feathers shimmered, as if they were wearing the entire starry sky, beautiful like something straight out of an ancient painting. For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was in an inn or a secret wonderland. Renyi Inn is far more than just a place to stay; it's a hidden gem within the ancient city. The harmonious coexistence of people and animals creates a warm and healing atmosphere, adding countless gentle and delightful moments to this journey."

"A rather mediocre experience. I've been a Ctrip member for 15 years and rarely leave bad reviews, so I'll give this a passing grade of 3.0. The main reasons for the average experience were: 1. My baby had a fever in the middle of the night and couldn't get up the next day. I wanted to take some breakfast back to the room, but they wouldn't allow it, and the staff's attitude was quite stiff. At over 1700 RMB for two nights for three adults and one child, the price wasn't cheap. Since the hotel couldn't be understanding towards me, I can't be understanding towards them in my rating. 2. There must be floor heating or central air conditioning, because the room was extremely dry, even drier than indoors in Beijing during the heating season."

"My child absolutely loved this room! Besides being spacious, it was incredibly well-equipped. They even provided free earplugs and makeup remover wipes, not to mention complimentary tricycles and bicycles for exploring the ancient city. It was very quiet at night, making for a peaceful sleep. And the front desk staff? Their service was exceptional – truly made our stay comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast, served on a street in the ancient city, was just a few hundred meters away."

"The hotel is quite new, the rooms are spacious and very clean. The smart home features are super convenient, and the service is great. I especially want to praise the breakfast, especially the freshly made knife-cut noodles, lamb offal soup with vermicelli, and bean noodles – they were all really delicious! This place offers incredible value for money. Definitely a five-star rating!"

"This hotel is located right inside the North Gate of the Ancient City, making its location absolutely fantastic. Street parking is also very convenient. You can easily walk to the attractions within the Ancient City or use the bicycles provided by the hotel. The rooms are new, tastefully decorated, and smart, which feels wonderful. The disposable towels, bath towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes provided are all of high quality. Breakfast is a set meal per person, light yet nutritionally balanced. And the owner's service is simply outstanding. On our last day, we left early and told them not to prepare breakfast, but they thoughtfully packed some snacks for us, worrying we might get hungry on the road. Highly recommended! If I get a chance to visit Datong again, I'll definitely consider staying here."

"Hands down the best and most unique hotel in Datong! The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Even though we stayed for a night only, they helped to carry our luggage up, escorted us to our car and personally brought us to the Main Street to explain to us how to explore. The breakfast was also very simple and clean with veggies eggs and noodles which I appreciated after many oily meals in China. Highlight? The themed hotel design that brings you back to the dynasty era! The hotel facilities were superb too with 小度 and heater. We felt warm even when outside is negative! 100% rec"

"The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of the ancient city. The facilities are of a high standard; although a bit older, they are well-maintained. The room was spacious, bright, and airy, facing the ancient city with beautiful night views. The hotel breakfast offered local specialties, including knife-cut noodles and lamb offal soup, all readily available. The local farm milk, in particular, had an amazing taste. During my stay, I accidentally left my coffee cup in the restaurant. Ms. Zhang Ruiqi, the assistant manager, went above and beyond to help me find it and return it to my room, despite the trouble I caused. Her warmth and professionalism were truly impressive."

"I stayed in Datong for one night on a business trip. I found a newly opened hotel and thought about being clean. I didn't expect it to exceed expectations. This price enjoys the quality of a thousand yuan hotel! ! (The puppy at the door is weird and cute) I recommend everyone to try it. I originally went out and loved to bring my own hair dryer, but this one is Dyson's! White belt 🤣 Newly opened and sent a small cocktail. It is also very good to drink ～ nice service. Super nice hotel. I hope to keep it. I will set it next time I travel. ❤️"

"Stepping into the room, I was instantly wowed by the seamless blend of technology and aesthetic design! The in-room smart voice control was incredibly responsive. The bedding felt like sleeping on clouds, and the separate wet/dry bathroom design was absolutely perfect. Every detail exuded a light luxury vibe; staying here felt like a top-tier reward for both body and mind~ 🌟 The location is super convenient, close to everything. It was easy to get to popular foodie spots and explore the ancient city's attractions. The hotel service was also excellent; they helped with luggage storage, and there was even traditional clothing available for a fun experience!"

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, with a Wanda Plaza nearby and several local restaurants like Fenglin Pavilion and Sandao Dishes. The complimentary shuttle service to and from the station was a huge plus for us. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The breakfast buffet was also very generous, and the room itself was clean and tidy. A truly fantastic hotel!"
