Pipa Old Inn

A very pleasant stay at the Pipa Old Inn. A very historical building, though the place is equipped with all necessary modern amenities save for an elevator. Fortunately the staff very helpful assisted us with lugging up our heavy luggage to our room on the 3rd floor. Very beautifully decorated and strategically located in the heart of Datong Ancient City. Very pleasant and helpful staff who helped us plan and arrange our trips around Datong though sadly, they weren't very proficient in English (but that's common in China). Free breakfast was included in our stay and there was a decent spread though the menu didn't change much over our stay there save for one or two vegetable dishes being rotated. Overall definitely worth a return trip and stay in Datong Ancient City.

Fabulous hotel for all types of travelers with a fantastic location. The breakfast was a great way to start the day and the English-speaking staff extremely helpful in organising excursions and providing guidance on what to see.

One of the nicest places I've stayed so far I would say. Not only in China, but in the world. Everything was spot on clean, comfy and reasonable. The communication as a foreigner can be a bit harder but it's not different than anywhere in China, just use your translator. The beds are hard, so you have to be ok with that. For me with backproblems it was just perfect. Thank you a lot and I'll definitely stay again at the pipa hotel if I ever come back to datong!
