Jiushe heyuan (Daiwangfu Branch, Drum Tower East Street, Datong)

Great experience! Highly recommended if you are looking for a stay in Datong.

Nice hotel in the old town of Datong. One of the few places where you can stay in the old town! It’s a quiet place around the corner of a busy street. The staff is very friendly. Tip: book your didi to the drum tower as cars are forbidden in most of the old town. Only a short walk from the drum tower.

We had a great stay for 4 nights at this homestay. Our room was very comfortable and offered enough space. The bed was quite had but we had a good sleep every night. The breakfast was only Chinese style but different every day. Coffee could be taken from their coffee corner. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff at this hotel were extremely helpful and welcoming. The rooms were lovely and have large bathrooms. They were cosy even when it was very cold outside. The bed was a bit firm in one of the rooms, but other than that the stay was great. The hotel owner is really nice! There are several courtyards in the hotel, and the one at the back is apparently an original courtyard from 200 years ago - this is actually quite rare in the Old City in Datong as most of the city has been demolished in the last few decades. It was quite special to stay somewhere with such a long history, and despite its age the hotel was very comfortable. The location was also very good, it was easy to find and close to the Drum Tower where you can get a taxi (cars cannot drive into the pedestrian streets around the hotel.) 10/10 would recommend!

A special experience. All the people there were wonderful and couldn't be more helpful and caring. Breakfast was delivered to the room in the morning. Our courtyard had 3 rooms around it and was a lovely spot to relax. Very handy to main tourist street and restaurants.

Our stay was perfection! We wouldn’t stay anywhere else! Perfectly located inside the old city of Datong, we walked everywhere and absolutely loved feeling in the center of it all! Beautiful room, super grand, clean, loads of space, very friendly owners, and 100% recommended with kids. The toilet was amazing, the shower water nicely hot, beds super comfy - we had a wonderful 2-night stay with our three children!
