Hotel 2-Star di Shanxi, China

I dont often post reviews, but this hotel absolutely deserves all the positive ratings it gets! Firstly the location is excellent, just a stones throw from the main street. In fact the whole city is easily walkable but if you struggle with mobility there are several shuttle services. Secondly the value for money is incredible, the room felt luxurious and the central courtyard is very pretty, so for the price you really cannot complain. Thirdly, and arguably most importantly the hosts are absolute sweethearts. Even though I only stayed one night, they gave me a lift to and from the train station, as well as a free bottle of local vinegar! I seriously can't recommend this place enough!!

這家客棧位置絕佳，就在鐘樓旁邊，滴滴可在門口停方便出行，因為是新開的所以衞生很不錯, 這家一樓是土特產店，醋和杏脯都可以下樓直接購買，雖然正門對着正街但是住的二樓房間窗户對着側街，晚上很安靜, 隔音因為是新客棧我們去的時候衹有我們住的房間有人，所以看不出來, 窗簾是自動窗簾遮光效果好, 枕頭有兩個，一個是蕎麥的一個是軟的，都有點略高, 然後洗手枱的玻璃有兩個按鈕晚上會發出藍色的光，如果對光敏感的朋友建議網上購買遮光貼, 樓下晚上是古城旅遊大巴的始發停靠點, 性價比很高的客棧！

If you want a more authentic experience than staying in a fancy hotel, this is your place. Mrs Liu (sp?) was so lovely and helpful. She speaks a bit of English and is very fast on the translation apps for what she doesn’t know. She gave us a map of the Ancient City and explained where we should visit. Every day she gave us water bottles. We stayed 2 nights. You can experience a kang bed here, in a cozy room in a quaint courtyard. It was quite firm but still comfortable. There is air con which was needed when we were there. The bathroom is small but we found that everything didn’t get wet, despite the small size of the room. The inn is on the “taxi-bus” route just off South Street. As it is a block from the Main Street it is significantly quieter as the honking of “taxi-buses” doesn’t happen as much in the alleyways. Just be careful to walk on the sides of the road as the mopeds and taxi-buses are electric so quiet, except for the honking which is loud and constant, and they drive quite fast for the size and busyness of the streets. There is plenty of food places just a short walk away from the hotel. The ancient city was a lot more touristy than we had expected. You need to prearrange with the innkeeper to organise a “taxi-bus” to pick you up from the South Gate. Regular cars are not allowed inside the city wall. We were dropped by the DiDi but it is too far and busy to walk with luggage to the inn. Mrs Liu and her husband helped us out with their mopeds. Not many “taxi-bus” drivers know the inn as it is a smaller private hotel, so make sure you have the address printed out to show them. The taxi-bus is 10RMB pp per ride and you can flag them down anywhere on the streets they are allowed on, but they may not want to go where you want to go, so just flag another one until you get one that agrees. You scan the drivers QR code to pay. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Pingyao Yunshu Inn.

房間比照片裏看着還舒服！整體乾淨清爽，床品軟軟的睡起來超放鬆，衞生間也收拾得一塵不染。空調和設備都很新，操作也方便，晚上窩在房間簡直不要太爽。服務態度也很好，入住全程都很省心，下次來還選這家。

住過這麼多酒店，這家必須安利！位置超棒，周邊熱鬧還方便。房間乾淨整潔，床品柔軟舒適，一夜好眠。服務更是沒話説，前台熱情周到，有求必應。早餐種類豐富，口味也很不錯。下次來還選這！

We stayed in a hotel just one night, since we were visiting the Hukou waterfall. The hotel itself is perfect, clean, and has a good breakfast. In the lobby there is a coffee machine. Luggage storage is available and it's walking distance from the train station.

Had a lovely stay here! I was in a 12 bed dorm but the room is very spacious and has a private bathroom/shower, all super clean, and then bed was comfy. The only thing is that the bedlight makes a sound every time it’s turned on/off: it’s funny but I was a bit worried to bother other guests. Ah, I was also able to do my laundry with no fees and was even given a little welcome bag. The location although not within the city walls is close to several bus stops and one can ride a bike easy to all the major attractions ~ which was a lovely way to explore Datong. The best thing is the staff though: incredibly helpful and friendly. On my last day they let me stay past the checkout time so that I could keep on working using their WiFi which was a massive massive help, and offered to lend me an umbrella and drive me as the rain was so heavy. Most def recommend staying here when you visit Datong!
