We loved our stay here. The hotel is very close to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower and close to shops and restaurants yet is in an alley that is calm and quiet. It is also very close to the magnificent Huayan Temple. The hotel owner and staff are very nive and genuinely helpful. There were visitors from many different countrues staying here. Breakfast is excellent. I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is more than just a Hostel I would rather call it a botique hotel located in the heart of the old and renovated part of Datongnan. Employees are very kind and provide the best of hospitality. Rooms are clean and bathroom in excellent condition.
It is located in area where no cars are allowed so very quiet,yet the taxi can drop you at less then 3 min walk. Breakfast is a bit short especially for foreign guest .
Only time it does get busy and bit noisy is on the weekend as all the sellers announce their products and services over speakers.

We loved this place! It was a fantastic place for us to stay in Datong. It was super beautiful and lovely. The rooms were clean and warm all the time. The floor heating for winter was a dream. We had breakfast there at their buffet which was lovely to come down in our own time and do. The staff were always awake and happy to say hello. Not much English but that’s absolutely fine with translation apps. There wasn’t easy public transport but that’s because there is no train or subway. It has beautiful surrounding building and walkable food and entertainment areas. Taxi’s and DiDi’s were very accessible and quick to walk to from the hostel.
There’s an AMAZING food joint right underneath the hostel that is beautiful, cheap, and unique.
Overall, it was a great place to be based at for three nights.

The property was located in the heart of the downtown area. It was a very nice facility with a very helpful staff, who, if they couldn't speak English, at least had access to translation apps.

Great hotel at a great price with great service. The Pipa hotel is a small hotel in the historical district of Datong. The staff is always trying to help you. The rooms are small but have all the details. Good Chinese breakfast. Highly recommend it.

Will stay here again.
Lovely, bit quirky, hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast limited to toast, jam and butter for western tastes and local options too - try the local doughnut type hot buns. Local area quiet and some of the local area being rennovated or re built. Convenient to walk to the local sites within the old town or to walk to and around the town wall (7.2 km in length). No evening meals but nice places to eat nearby. Bed very comfortable, shower fab plus toiletries supplied. Will certainly stay here again in the future.

Non professional and unethical
This hotel requires upfront payment. Although I had fully paid for my rooms, they still released the room to other walk in customer. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN A FOREIGN PLACE! I missed my connecting flight and arrived one day late and it was peak vacation season. Many local tourist were hunting for rooms. I think the hotel just got greedy and released the room to walk in customers. That left me with no place to stay at 6pm. Imagine frantically looking for a room in a foreign country and worse of all, hotels in the vicinity were all fully booked. They claimed that hotel.com arrangement with them gives them the right to simply release the room. It was a nightmare situation and will ruin your trip.

Incredible hotel
Superb hotel. Very hospital personnel, clean structure and very comfortable rooms equipped with everything. The hotel is located in a convenient position, central and full of ancient buildings.
They also provided us a small breakfast to go as we were leaving earlier than the breakfast time.
We also forget a coat in the structure and the hotel contacted us immediately to arrange a delivery!
Hands down, one of the best hotels I've been for the service and the confort.

Très jolie chambre, très bonne literie, très propre. Petit déjeuner très correct. Situé au plein centre de la vieille ville, à deux pas des remparts et des restaurants . Personnel serviable. L’hôtel est magnifiquement décoré, raffiné. Hôtel de charme à la chinoise. Je recommande vivement
