Renyi Inn

Spent a most enjoyable 5-day stay here. The owners are really nice -- they not only surprised us with a welcome fruit platter but also sent another one on another day. When we had to wake up super early on one of the days, they actually cooked 2 hard boil eggs for us to pack for breakfast (despite us saying no the night before as we didn't wish to trouble them). The husband also sent us via his car to a nearby pick-up point that we had to assemble at 5.40am. This is a very nicely done up place, well-maintained and very clean too. Good quality toiletries provided, comfortable bed, bathroom with a shower cubicle, water that is hot enough, even a toilet bowl. Great location -- there're rows of different types of shops nearby but it's still surprisingly quiet despite our room facing the road with a balcony, there're 2 cafes nearby, a nearby eatery that sells the most delicious 'shao bing' (crispy skin pastry with meat in it) - it's freshly made when one orders and a adjoining noodle stall that serves noodles that's quite OK too. It's just opposite the Hua Yan Si temple - one of the must-visit on the list of places in Datong. Hua Yan temple is also located in a huge square with more shops and food. From the front door of the homestay, turn right and walk all the way down abt 15-20mins, go through the ancient walls and then cross the road, you'll find Parkson mall there - a huge modern mall with all your usual F & B + shops that you'll find in these malls, supermarket, etc. The bus-stop to Yun Gang Grottoes is also nearby. A new landmark that makes it easy to locate this charming homestay : a new huge pink bunny with the Chinese characters of Datong on a green artificial grass patch, that is located just abt 200m away from its main entrance.

The location is perfect in the centre of the city. You can reach all the attractions by foot. We had a room with the balcony and even if we did not use it that much it had a really nice “mood” and was really cozy. The room was clean and they also brought us some fresh fruit in the afternoon which was really appreciated and refreshing. The hotel is situated on the road which makes it easy to reach with the taxi if you have the luggages but at night is really quite. The staff was nice and does not speak English but with the translator you can easily overcome it.

Everything was perfect! The owners are very friendly and they have a translator machine to speak with foreigners. The room is clean and huge with a splendid view. For some reason they keep live peacocks in the hotel lounge and other animals as well, but everything is very clean! The hotel is in excellent location, near the main street in the old town. They also helped us a lot to find a vegetarian restaurant and other things. Very recommended.

Highly recommend! The owner is very friendly and gave us a free upgrade to a bigger room. There are free Hanfu for females to try as well. ☺️☺️

Great location, and the staff are very friendly and professional. Even though they can't speak English, but they did their best to help us. The room is super clean, and there are some exotic animals ( Peacocks) that stay in the living area. They are so beautiful and very friendly.

Lovely place and personal. Beautiful architecture. Fresh fruit as a welcome gift is really appreciated. Perfect location, close to all tourists attractions. You can request didi in front of the hotel. Pity we stay so short time. Datong is beautiful and it worth staying more than one day. Highly recommended
