Cc0ldmanWe had an amazing stay at Sunyata Datong. The hotel beautifully blends traditional Chinese architecture with modern elegance, offering a serene and spotless environment that feels both authentic and refined.
The hospitality was exceptional — every staff member was polite, attentive, and genuinely caring. Their attention to detail made the experience truly memorable, from the thoughtful room touches to the warm service at every interaction. The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
The breakfast was another highlight, with a wonderful selection of freshly prepared dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented.
A perfect blend of culture, comfort, and heartfelt service — Sunyata Datong is truly a gem and highly recommended for anyone visiting Datong
MMethilanI spent nearly a week at Datong Milan/Magnolia Hotel (Dai Residence branch) and it was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay
Location:
- Nestled a quieter part of the ancient city, that provided a peaceful retreat after each day of exploring.
- 10 minutes to some of the attractions of the old town
- 15-20 minute walk to the popular restaurants and more attractions
- 30 minute walk to Huayan Temple and its nearby street markets.
I'm always happy to walk but if needed, I could always use DiDi to take me around.
Falling asleep without street noise is something I like. There is a bit of building work going nearby, which is happening all over Datong Ancient City, but nothing too major.
Nearby is the Ancient City's wall, but walk past that and you can see the locals dance in the morning in the park or walk along the canal/moat in the evening.
Room:
The room was surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room to spread out and relax, a welcome change from cramped city accommodations. The staircase is a bit narrow, so those with lots of big luggage might struggle (no lift)
Importantly, it was very clean and well equipped. I especially liked the Chinese tea ceremony set!
Service:
- Despite a noticeable language barrier, everyone went above and beyond with smiles, helpful gestures, and clear efforts to communicate.
- Especially the manager, who told me about local food to try, things to do and asked if I needed anything. She noticed that I was bringing back leftovers from the restaurant, and bottled drinks from the shops, and said I could use the fridge.
- I can't speak Chinese so when the delivery driver came to drop off my order, the staff will take it from the reception and bring it to me.
- Unfortunately, breakfast isn't available here
- Drinking water topped up. Humidifier and mosquito repellent were provided when needed.
I will not hesitate to book here again on my next visit and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking comfort and genuine warmth in Datong!
JJamesnzGreat hotel in the old town near the city wall. The staff are polite and helpful with any issues and they washed my laundry for me free of charge. That is really kind of them.
The room is nice and bed is comfortable, I liked the balcony to sit on and eat my dinner. However the walls are quite thin and can hear room neighbours and people in corridor talking and watching TV. Unfortunately they only have disposable towels, I would prefer to use the real towels. The shower is extremely difficult to figure out how to use!
Otherwise it is a really good stay, I would be happy to come back and stay again when I return to Datong next time. Thank you.
EewanwanI stayed at Ibis in Datong, and this time the room felt noticeably more spacious compared to other Ibis hotels.
As always, I choose Ibis (Huazhu Group) whenever I travel in China—it gives me a strong sense of reliability and peace of mind.
The non-smoking room is still my favorite—clean, fresh, and free of any unpleasant smells.
The bed is soft and comfortable, and the bedsheets feel great. I always sleep well here.
The breakfast was surprisingly good, definitely better than expected for a budget hotel.
The location is convenient, not too far from the main areas.
I also really liked Datong as a city—people are sincere and very willing to help.
The local tourist shuttle system is well organized, so there’s usually no need to hire a private car.
Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again.
这是大同ibis,,ibis房间很大,早餐不会难吃,很好。下次还是会入住。地点不会太偏僻。我每次去中国一定选择华住会的ibis,应为安心。最最最喜欢无烟房。床很柔软软,床单舒服。我很喜欢大同这个城市人很真诚乐意帮助。大同直通车旅游做的很好基本不太需要包车。
今回、大同のイビスに宿泊しましたが、他のイビスと比べて部屋がやや広く、より快適に感じられました。
中国に行く際は、いつも華住会グループのイビスを利用しています。安心して泊まれる点が気に入っています。
特に気に入っているのは禁煙ルームで、匂いがなく清潔でとても快適に過ごせます。
ベッドも柔らかくて寝心地が良く、シーツの肌触りも良いので、毎回ぐっすり眠れます。
朝食も思ったより良く、ビジネスホテルとしては十分満足できる内容でした。
立地もそれほど不便ではなく、移動もしやすいです。
また、大同という街自体もとても良い印象で、人が親切で、困ったときにも助けてくれる雰囲気があると感じました。
観光用の直通バスも整っており、個人で車を手配しなくても十分観光できます。
全体的にとても快適で、また利用したいと思います。
