💬 What guests say ★ 4.7 · 52 reviews
At Howard Johnson Jindi, I felt the warmth and kindness of Datong locals. The room and its amenities were both excellent, and it's very close to the old town. Getting to the train station and the grottoes is also convenient, and taxis in Datong are very cheap. Breakfast was plentiful and even included lamb offal soup.…

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests? 外宾可以入住吗？
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there? 怎么去？
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean? 星级是什么？
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there? 怎么支付？
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
