Guest Reviews
- Changle (8/5): - Front desk and business reception are very helpful. The room is big and very clean just unable to adjust room temperature. Too hot at night.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, very friendly English speaking staff. They also help with organizing tours to sites off interest.
- YOUNGMEE (10/5): 다퉁 최고 호텔! - 가든 호텔 최고예요!
아침 일찍 도착했는데
early check-in도 해주고 주변 맛집들도 친절하고 상세하게
얘기해줘요.
위치도 성안이라 더할 나위없이 좋고 주변 맛집들,명소들도 다 걸어서 갈 수있어요.
룸안에는 모든게 깔끔하게 다 구비되어 있고 전통가구들도 멋져요.가습기도 있어요!
게다가 맛있는 무료 조식까지!
가격대비 최고예요.
다시 또 가고 싶어요~
- Andrew (10/5): We were very pleased with this hotel - We are a couple who stayed here for 3 nights, from 27-30 October. We were very pleased with the hotel. It is a nice 4 star hotel and very well priced, making it great value.
It is very well located, almost in the middle of the walled Ancient City and in walking distance of everything in the Ancient City.
Our room was large, comfortable, with stylish decorations, a large king size bed, a sofa, a desk, a seating area spanning the bottom of the bed, TV with CNN, a nice bathroom, detergent for washing and a line for drying your laundry.
The breakfast is varied and fine, though the pastries and muffins inexplicably were always quite dry.
There is a sauna downstairs, with separate male and female sections. It is reminiscent of a Japanese bath house: small stools to sit on while scrubbing before bathing, then two pools (warm and very hot water respectively) to soak in, plus attendants who do body and feet massages. Suprisingly, 2 Chinese men smoked in the pool.
The hotel gets China Daily newspaper for public areas, but alas it is 3-4 days old.
- LW (10/5): - Staff were so helpful in organising day trips for us. The hotel is also great value for the money paid. Clean, comfortable and everything was functional. Breakfast has a good variety of food.
- Geoffrey (10/5): - Everything we requested for the room was met. Staff friendly and helpful organised a taxi for us to visit the sites all went well
- Verified traveler (10/5): 值得推荐的酒店 - 很好的体验 酒店位置不错 服务很棒 早餐丰盛
- Verified traveler (10/5): 绝佳之选 - 非常好的酒店 服务热情 位置很好 设施齐全
- AriADNA (10/5): - Excelente , no sabia que estábamos en old downtown , pero eso fue lo mejor .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel de primera. Las instalaciones perfectas, el desayuno muy completo y variado para gusto oriental y occidental. El personal muy servicial y dispuesto a ayudarte. La habitación amplia y cómoda. La ubicación es adecuada a un paso de la Torre del Tambor y en una avenida principal. Sin duda lo recomiendo, yo volvería a hospedarme en este confortable hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 飯店距離遼金古建築華嚴寺、善化寺,以及明清時期期的鼓樓均可步行而至。前台、商務中心的服務員,均真誠為客人解決問題。合作的接駁及旅遊包車駕駛,同樣具有服務熱忱,而且收費合理。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 中国の地方都市のホテルとしては老舗の部類でしょうか。
クラシックなホテルですが、リニューアルしてあって中の上といった感じです。(洗浄便座付き)
タクシーの運転手によると”高級”だそうです。
ひとつだけ?なのは、バスタブ・シャワーブース共にあるのですが、ホース付きのシャワーヘッドがありません、ホース付きに慣れた日本人にはちょっと違和感があります。
その他は概ね良好です、地方のホテルの常ですが英語がわかるスタッフが極端に少ないです。
- Michael (8/5): - Very good hotel located within the walls of the old city of Datong. Within short walking distance of all the main city sites such as the drum pagoda and nine dragon screen. Caves are a short taxi/bus ride away. Friendly staff though their English is limited. Brazilian BBQ buffet is a must! Spacious rooms with large beds and TVs
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Unbeatable value. Pity i couldnt spend more time there
- Carol (10/5): A pleasant surprise - Fantastic breakfast buffet, helpful staff, ideal location, comfortable non-smoking room available
- Ken (10/5): - Great location with walking distance to many attractions and restaurants, good breakfast offered, and very friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice breakfast, great service, convenient location
- Daniela (10/5): Love it!All 4* hotels in China should be like this - The best hotel I stayed in China. Clean, comfortable, well located and the service was fantastic. Really good breakfast included. The from desk girls spoke good English and we very helpful. It’s inside the ancient city and close to many sightseeings. Also close to many restaurants and stores. Unfortunately we just spent two nights. We left wanting to come back. I got a fantastic massage there and they arranged a taxi driver to take us to the Yungang Grottoes and airport for a decent price. I just have good things to say about this hotel. It’s the only real 4 star hotel I stayed in China. Don’t think twice about book there. It’s totally worth it!
- J P R (10/5): Lovely place - Lovely hotel with lovely and very helpful staff, the rooms are very spacious and nice facilities, plus 2 really good restaurants and very well located.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - LOCATION — perfectly situated within the walled “old town” and just a couple of blocks from many spectacular historic must-see sites and temples (complexes of temples actually).
ROOM — beautifully appointed with pretty, elegant furnishings. Thoughtful details such as desktop humidifier, heated toilet seat, turndown service were welcomed on frigid winter days. Exhaustive bathroom toiletries provided.
BREAKFAST — exquisite buffet loaded with ample fresh and steamed vegetable dishes, fruits, an array of western choices and an amazing “soup chef” for lack of better term. Not only was the soup bursting with flavor, but it also contained thin handmade noodles. One of the best things I’ve eaten during two weeks in China.
RESTAURANT — fresh, exotic to this western gal, but clearly high end with lovely helpful staff. Visually very pleasing. Patrons included business men engaged in jovial conversation, happy family gatherings, and hotel guests.
STAFF — all exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially the business center manager who ensured that I had a top notch private driver take me to distant tourist attractions (hanging temple and the grottoes) for a fraction of organized tours I’ve seen on Trip Advisor. Aside from the business manager, I was hard pressed to find English speakers here, but an iPhone app can quickly bridge that gap.
LOBBY — lovely
QUALITY - by far the best experience yet in China! I’d just recommend coming in warmer weather.
- M (10/5): - 朝六時半の出発でしたが、持ち帰り用の朝食セットを準備していただきました。またスタッフの方々の対応も丁寧でした。
- Johannes (10/5): - We can highly recommend Garden Hotel and would definitely book again!
The hotel is well-located in the center of "ancient" Datong (although the center itself does not offer many sights). Close proximity to the main station (max. 15 mins by cab).
We arrived in the early morning (around 6:30 am) and thus our room was not ready yet (which was well-communicated by them in advance). However, they offered us another room to rest until the booked room was cleaned-up.
Very polite and friendly staff. Although their English is sometimes a bit bumpy, there is always at least one person that speaks English very well.
We booked a driver to the hanging temples via the hotel at a very fair price. Ask for Mr. Liu, who is probably the best driver in Datong and was one of the most friendly persons we met during our trip through China.
Breakfast was very good and rich, comprising western and Chinese food, e.g. freshly maked omelettes and Baozi. Room was large, clean and very well-equipped.
- Amber (6/5): Smelly - Day 1 was great , Day 2 our room smelled like raw sewage. Had to keep the bathroom closed to even make it tolerable
- Verified traveler (10/5): Probably the best hotel in Datong. - Great hotel with a very kind and helpful staff in a very good location. Large, clean and well decorated rooms. Good breakfast and free wifi. I will choose again this hotel if I visit Datong again.
- Thomas G (10/5): Wonderful choice of accommodation and service - Staying at the Garden was a wonderful experience on all counts meeting the highest expectations.
The location is most convenient
The buffet breakfast outstanding, the choice and quality of food was exceptional and the same can be said of dinners at the restaurant.
The service was friendly,courteous and efficient.
- Teri (10/5): - Our room was clean, nice and quiet. The staff was very helpful, courteous and professional. They helped arrange transportation for our entire stay. Breakfast was also very good with a nice selection of food. Would definitely stay here again.
- YONG HONG (10/5): - 酒店地理位置优越,早餐丰富
- Rita (10/5): Molto bene - L’hotel è in ottima posizione vicino alle mura della città.Ho trovato personale disponibile gentile.La colazione e la cena è stata molto buona e ricca,il ristorante è frequentato dai locali ed è se pieno.Ampia e pulita la camera.
- k (6/5): 古城中心部にあり便利 - 古城中心部にあり便利でした。全般的に古い建物、設備です。壁が薄く隣の会話が聞こえるほどでしたが、その他には問題がありませんでした。機会があればまた使おうと思います。
- Ignatius (8/5): A Nice hotel in the old town of Datong - This is a centrally located hotel within the old town. The hotel and the room are clean. I particularly like the smart toilet which includes bidet.
- Morten (8/5): Godt valg af hotel i Datong - Super valg af hotel, hvis man vil bo centralt i Datong. Personalet havde lidt for travlt ved ind/udtjekning. God engelsktalende hjælp ifbm. Udflugt, dog burde vuderingen af chaufføren foregå uden deres tilstedeværelse. Virkelig dejlig international og kinesisk morgenmadsbuffet. Værelserne lugtede af røg, selvom det var røgfrie værelser. Udsigten ikke så pæn, da bybilledet i Datong er under større ombygning.
Overordnet god oplevelsens, vi ville bo der igen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excelente hotel en el centro de Datong. - Muy bien situado y excelente desayuno. Se aparca al lado.
Precio occidental, eso sí.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 英語が通じるホテル - ホテルのスタッフの対応がちゃんとしていて良かった。英語が通じたので滞在に不便がなかった。ホテルの近くにデパートやスーパー、観光名所もあり便利。雲崗石窟と懸空寺を訪問したらタクシーで320元だった。英語の通じる親切なドライバーだった。
- Ole Anders (10/5): Amazing - Best place to stay. Great breakfast.
- Charles (10/5): One Big Regret--Only One Night - Out biggest regret staying at this hotel---that we only spent one night! What a gem this hotel is! Because this was our first time in the area, we did not know how much fun Datong area could be. We underestimated the time needed. Between the hanging monastery, the Yungang grottoes and the city atmosphere, we wish we would have added one more day. The hotel staff were awesome, even when we had trouble because we did not bring the correct documentation as foreigners. They were extremely helpful and courteous. Our room was clean, well-equipped, and luxurious. Definitely great for western travelers. The breakfast buffet was very good, and we can honestly say, we plan to be back. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.
- John (10/5): Excellent hotel in the walled part of the city - Professional and friendly staff, a comfortable room with all mod cons and an excellent Chinese restaurant, all very reasonably priced. Easy walk to the attractions of the walled city.
- April (4/5): Ok but could be better - I had a complaint about the air con, it was hot inside the room in spring, a lady knocked the door, she stepped in, without a word, went to the thermostat, turned it off, went to the windows, opened them, said “Ok?”
and left. Later, reception admitted that it was not working and no attempt to remedy it. I wasn’t going to stay there longer so I let it go, we have a good laugh after. Only some employees can speak English, location is in old town (nice). 60 yuan or 45 minutes to airport and 25 to train station.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location inside of the wall - easy walking to the famous temple. easy walking to the wall. good dining nearby
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing - From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us like gold.. The English speaking business centre (tour desk) was very helpful with arranging our tour and train tickets. Loved the goodnight chocolate bars that were left on our pillows while we were out during the evening. I wouldn’t even consider staying elsewhere..
- Lih Chin (10/5): Full marks for Garden Hotel - This hotel should be your choice if you visit Datong. I was asked by the other members of my tour group to leave a good review for this hotel. Why?
1. The room is spacious and clean. When we entered the room, the pleasant surprise was the humidifier which allowed for a much more comfortable rest.
2. Location of the hotel is fantastic and allow us to explore the sights on foot.
3. The hotel arranged a driver for a day trip to Yungang Grottoes and Hanging Monastery at RMB320. The taxi was clean and service was great. The driver even brought us to eat the famous DongFang Dao Xiao noodles.
4. There's a recreation center at B1 of the hotel where you can get a good massage at a reasonable price. We discovered it too late.
5. The selection for breakfast is fantastic and you can even get Dao Xiao noodles and Mutton soup during breakfast.
It was such a good overall experience that the 2 elders in my group kept singing praises of the hotel. Hence, do consider this hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What an amazing hotel experience! So close to many of the ancient city attractions, and the amenities and service are hard to beat. The bath house in the basement is available to all guests, which was very relaxing after I worked out in their aptly equipped gym. We sadly had to leave early in the morning before they served their apparently famous breakfasts, but they even prepared small to-go boxes for us to take in the morning before their kitchen fully opened.
I loved this stay and would highly recommend it to any other travelers to Datong!
- Richard (10/5): A nice gem of hotel in datong. - A very good hotel by Chinese Standards. A bit tatty around edges for Western Standards. Four star by Chinese standards. Probably three stars by western standards. Staff very helpful. English speakers at the front desk and at restaurant. Room smaller than a western room but more than adequate. Smaller hotel in busy district. Fruit bowl delivered to the room each night. Bed turned down.
- Amy (10/5): Great services and location - Great great services,the staffs there try to help you at the first place. Enjoyed the breakfast very much,Offer customer made coffee with pretty design .Good location near tourist spots.
Closed to the great restaurant:鳳臨閣 and great temple:華嚴寺.
Thanks for extra bottles water and fruits.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very good - Well equipped room, fantastic location,very friendly service and an outstanding breakfast which included real espresso, A very good place for a very reasonable price.
- David (10/5): Perfect - Absolutely first class. Exceptional service, GREAT value for money and pretty decent location. Would highly, HIGHLY recommend anyone staying there from backpacker to those who like comfort only because the price is so brilliant!
- Lucie (10/5): Everything perfect - Probably the best value for money I've ever gotten. Everything was just perfect.
- Pamela Karyn (10/5): No need to look anywhere else- stay here! - Excellent! No complaints at all. Because we had an early flight and would miss the included breakfast, they packed an excellent breakfast for each of the members of our group...everyone was friendly and so helpful.
- MJ (10/5): Very good hotel in Datong - Nice stay, in a great location, clean and comfortable room. Highly recommended
- Belinda (8/5): Great place to stay - Really great hotel. Spacious room, great bathroom with deep bath seperate to shower. Even had a heated toilet seat. Breakfast ok with some western options. Really helpful organising taxi transfers and transport to the sights at reasonable prices. Close to 9 dragons wall
- jordan (10/5): Beautiful Hotel, amazing staff, great rooms - I can't say enough about the garden hotel. When we first got to the room we were amazed at how nice the room was, a room like that in Vancouver Canada would of been around $300 a night. The toilet seat was heated which was incredible lol. The hotel staff set us up with a taxi driver who spoke English and brought us to the hanging temple and the grottoes. He was amazing and like a tour guide, but at the price of a cheap taxi ride. I can't remember his name, but say th Canadian couple had him in February. The staff also invited us out to the spring festival and got us into the city wall for free with the staff. This made Datong a must see and I totally recommend staying here if you don't speak Chinese as other hotels are a little harder to get help for an English tourist. The only bad thing I can say is that they set our standards too high lol. The next hotels have been a 5 star and a 4 star and they don't compare to how good the garden hotel was at all. I just want to go back to Datong now. Oh yeah and the breakfast buffet was great as well and room service was cheap and the Black Forest cake was delicious.
