Datong hoteles

Ventajas: I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning to stay in Datong.  First of all, the communication with the hotel prior to arrival was perfect.  I contacted them about 2 weeks before the arrival, and Jasmine from the business center replied us promptly and in perfect English.  She arranged us a driver to the Hanging Monastery and to Youngang Grottoes and also a car to Beijing with honest prices, and it was a great help. Also, the driver, Mr. Feng, didn't speak English but he was also really nice and accompanied us to the ticket offices to make sure we don't get lost. The hotel itself was excellent too. The room was spacious enough for two, included all the necessary facilities and complimentary bottles of mineral water.  The breakfast couldn't be better. It included wide variety of dishes,  both local and western. They even prepare professional cappuccino,  which was very good. Finally,  I would like to praise all the hotel staff, all the receptionists were very friendly,  always smiling and willing to help. They even carried our luggage to the car and opened the car door for us. We really felt like VIP. It's a pity that we only spent one night there.

Desventajas: Maybe a little bit slow wi-fi.

Ventajas: El personal es muy atento, que en China no siempre lo son. Llegamos para hacer el Check in a las 06,30h, y los desayunos empezaban a las 7h. Y la chica de recepcion nos lo ofreció, asi que dormimos una noche pero desayunamos dos dias. Son detalles que yo valoro mucho. La habitacion muy grande y confortable y el hotel muy bien ubicado.

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: El hotel estaba ubicado cerca de todos los puntos de interés de Datong. El personal muy amable y atento. La decoración del hotel y las habitaciones. Muy elegante y con muy buen gusto. Reservamos a través del hotel un coche con conductor privado para ir a visitar el Monasterio Colgante y las Cuevas de Yungang y nos lo organizaron perfectamente. El conductor muy majo estuvo a nuestra disposición todo el día sin poner ninguna pega y a muy buen precio.

Desventajas: Nada, no tengo pegas que poner.

Ventajas: Recepción habla inglés. Dispuestos a ayudar. Flexibles con peticiones. Desayuno muy bueno. Cómodo, tranquilo, etc. Muy recomendable.

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: La limpieza del lugar.

Desventajas: El restaurant. It’s the worse Chinese meal I have ever had in all my life and the service really poor. It was a BIG mistake to want to celebrate my birthday in the hotel restaurant. It was horrible!

Ventajas: The property is well maintained and the rooms were clean

Desventajas: It’s difficult talking to the staff they know little english, but they were nice trying to understand

Ventajas: Nos atendieron muy bien y la cama era super comoda. Ademas nos dejaron entrar antes de tiempo y nos guardaron las maletas hasta que nos fueramos al aeropuerto.

Desventajas: Quiza la falta de comunicacion con las chicas del restaurante.

Ventajas: Ubicación, amabilidad, desayuno Bufet muy abundante y para poder elegir entre chino y occidental. Habitación amplia.

Desventajas: Nos gustó todo.

Ventajas: Location is excellent, fast check in and out. They prepared a nice surprised for our wedding anniversary with flowers and a courtesy cake. There is a Brazilian buffet(rodizio) with delicious meat and sea food(248 rmb each person) Breakfast is very good also. Beds are comfy and toilet is clean and quite modern. Staff is polite and helpfull. Very good value for the money.

Desventajas: Mini bar doesn’t really cool things fast enough. Water moisturizer was a bit noisy. Could hear some noise coming from front street.

Ventajas: The Chinese restaurant was very nice, with very attentive staff. (There’s also a Brazilian restaurant with a buffet, but we didn’t try it.) The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good with all sorts of options. The room was sumptuous and clean.

Desventajas: We couldn’t get the AC to do anything but feebly blow warm air. Outside was cool autumn weather. Inside it was a hot and stuffy 80 degrees F. After a restless night, we reported the problem (and that the electronic toilet with the heated seat suddenly wouldn’t flush) and asked for a new room. We were allowed to move to the room next door, but the AC wouldn’t work their either. So, we reported the problem again and asked for Security to unlock the window so we could get a little fresh air. The room was finally almost comfortable by the time we had to leave, exhausted the next morning.

Ventajas: people speak a little English

Desventajas: not having room service after 9PM for food.

Ventajas: Very comfortable rooms of a higher standard than we expected for the price. Superb food. Perhaps the best I've had in China. Great location.

Ventajas: Location! Across the street from Datong Railway Station. Near convenience stores and restaurants. Bus to Yungang Grottoes right in front of the building. Room is clean and spacious.

Ventajas: Room is spacious. Cleaning lady gives a good clean every morning. So far it's the cleanest hostel I've stayed in China. The hostel is right next to train station and the bus to Yun gang grotto is right downstairs. Staff are helpful too.

Desventajas: A bit more expensive than other hostel. I guess it worth. Design of common area is not so good to social with other travellers. The Female dorm i stayed was very cold.

Ventajas: The common room is quite small but pleasant. Just near the station ! The staff speaks english.

Ventajas: The common area/living room

Desventajas: The mattress

Ventajas: El diseño del Hostel y su ubicación

Ventajas: Great location for trains and getting the buses to grottoes. Big dorms. Hot showers.

Desventajas: The only common area was in reception and was very small. Wifi not very good

Ventajas: Very close to the train station which is handy and just downstairs you can get a bus that goes straight to the Yungang caves! Staff were very helpful, spoke very good English and the double room we had was very large! They do great coffee too.

Desventajas: The floor in our room was very dusty to the point our feet were covered after a short walk! About an hour walk into the old town but has good bus links so not a massive issue.

Ventajas: Small and cosy hostel, where you can easily feel comfortable. Great decoration and atmosphere. Perfect localization : near the train station and 30 minutes by foot from the center.

Desventajas: No kitchen and no bikes !

Ventajas: Great location from train station, and the staff are super friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Ventajas: very good location. Close to the train station and bus stop. Near a shopping center.

Desventajas: No toilet paper provided and no check in after 11pm or before 6am.

Ventajas: The hotel is located just a couple of minutes walk from the Railway Station. It has all the buses you need right at its doorstep. You can catch a bus to go into the old town and another one to visit the Yungang Caves. There is a mall across the road with several food options, as well as different restaurants in the vicinity. The staff was very helpful with directions, with a decent level of English which made it easier to communicate. They were also happy to store our luggage for the day that we departed. We stayed in a family room which was very spacious and had an enclosed balcony overlooking the main street with a rocking chair that was a big hit with the kids. The bathroom was new, and very nice but it probably could do with a bit more lighting in it. You can get coffee and other hot drinks at reception for a very good price, and even buy bottled water for 1RMB.

Desventajas: The only thing I would say is that the beds were not very comfortable, but since we only stayed one night it did not matter much.

Ventajas: La limieza la comodidad el personal y la zona es exelente supero mis espectativas

Desventajas: Me gusto todo

Ventajas: Recepcionistas muy atentas a nuestras preguntas y peticiones, la cama era muy comoda.

Desventajas: Ubicacion. Aunque se puede llegar a la ciudad amurallada andando(35 min aprox) esta en una zona casi derruida con todo de edificios abandonados. Mejorable limpieza en habitacion y baño.

Ventajas: Staff here were friendly and helpful and made every effort to make my stay enjoyable.rRestaurant for breakfast and dinner was good

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Very silent room, spacy. Nice located outside the city center

Desventajas: Staff didn't speak English, Bathroom outdated. Towels every day packed in plastics which is not needed and bad for the environment.

Ventajas: Very good position and clean.

Desventajas: the reception does not speak English. and for check-in / out operations it takes a long time during which they exchange the cellulra to translate while they laugh and make fun

Ventajas: La ubicación, justo al lado de la estación de tren de Datong, lo utilizamos para darnos una ducha y dejar las maletas después de una noche en tren litera y antes del siguiente tren (no hicimos noche allí). Está a 1 minuto andando desde la estación, se ve desde la salida.

Desventajas: Hotel para fumadores, gente fumando en recepción y la habitación olía a tabaco. El hotel es un poco viejo, si vas a estar más de una noche en Datong busca uno en el centro o en la parte antigua de la ciudad, este hotel está bien para dejar las maletas y darte una ducha, nada más. Nos comentaron que se podía reservar habitaciones por horas pero no lo confirmamos con el hotel.

Ventajas: Lots of Chinese food stalls around. Buses to the places of interest is within 5 min walk from the hotel. Great buffet breakfast spread. Hotel is quite flexible to allow early check-in and late check-out times.

Desventajas: Somewhat noisy due to the constant announcements of departing times and tracks as the hotel is just 150m from Datong train station

Ventajas: excellent / plenty of choice

Desventajas: maybe a fridge in room

Ventajas: Justo frente a la estación de tren. Ideal si llegas de madrugada o te vas muy temprano. Llegamos en un tren a las 5.00 de la madrugada y nos dejaron hacer el check in y desayunar el día de entrada en lugar del de salida.

Desventajas: Los estándares de limpieza chinos son más bajos que los nuestros. Te hacen dejar 100Y de fianza que te devuelven cuando haces el check out.

Ventajas: Buen desayuno y justo en frente de la estación.

Desventajas: Nada de inglés. Hay un neceser en el baño, que sin previo aviso te lo cobran si lo abres.

Ventajas: El desayuno era EXCELENTE. Nos permitieron hacer el check in varias horas antes. Queda muy próximo ( a 30 metros) de la estación de trenes.

Desventajas: El baño no tenía buen desagüe. Al ducharnos se mojaba todo el piso

Ventajas: Muy buena ubicación al lado de la estación de tren y de la parada del bus que va a las cuevas de los Budas.

Ventajas: Para visitar Datong es suficiente un día y la ubicación de este hotel es excelente en este aspecto pues está frente a la estación de tren. Llegué a las 4 am y pude ingresar a la habitación a esa hora. También pude tomar el desayuno ese día (cuando me hubiese correspondido a la mañana siguiente), el desayuno es muy bueno y completo!

Desventajas: Nadie habla inglés pero tampoco es un problema. Ningún problema a decir verdad todo muy bien

Ventajas: nothing at all

Desventajas: rooms stink, not clean and old. services are not good and the staff doesn't speak english at all. we don't suggest this hotel and we don't return here ever
