Seems that this is the best hotel in town, located in the center of the city. A bit dated, not really focused for the international (read foreign) traveler.

I like it because the building is solid, it has 40 stories, and the food is good. The chiefs are from Brittany and Manila, and are both very nice and accommodating.

So for your next vacation to Taiyuan, give this hotel a try

This was a nice hotel with big room. Our only problem was that we had asked for a bed for our son (26) who was travelling with us and received a very small children's bed. We attempted to get another room or bed and we were told there were none. We had travelled with him or another adult child through different parts of










This was a nice hotel in the middle of the city. We walked around in the evening down various shopping blocks for locals but ended up eating in the hotel at a Japanese restaurant which was quite good. Room was large, clean and comfortable enough. Our only issue is that we were travelling with our adult son and has asked for a room with an extra bed and received a small portable bed that did not fit his 6 foot size. We attempted to get him or us a different room and we were told their were no other beds. He had an uncomfortable night. That was the only time we had this experience in our travels - all other extra beds were big enough. Breakfast included in our room was good.

First, I must confess, I was upgraded to a suite upon arrival. The room was huge, complete with the normal suite accoutrements, including four botttles of complementary water, bathrobes, towels, and a fruit bowl. The bedroom had a kingsize bed, and the bathroom a nice tub but a great shower with rainshower and lower shower combo. Towels were new and good, room was quiet and televisions easy to operate and included CNN and BBC. Wifi was instantaneous with no sign on needed. Great!
English language skills were pretty good at the front desk, not great, but good enough. The staff was friendly and tried to be accomodating.
I tried the Cantonese Chinese restaurant on the third floor which was very good, although hardly anyone was there on a Wednesday night.
This hotel might command five stars, but I was so exhausted, I did not try any of the things like pool or spa or massage. What I can say is the bed was very good!

This is part of my two week Henan / Shanxi tour, and was arranged by the travel agent. This is a great hotel in the middle of Taiyuan city. Quite a few shops and restaurants are within walking distance. However, the traffic can be overwhelming sometimes.

This is a high-rise with the hotel rooms from the 24 to 42 floors. There is a reception desk at the ground floor but the check-in is on the 5th floor. The check-in area is very huge and fancy.

The bedroom is very good size and beds are very comfortable. Free wifi in the room have strong stable signal and I was so happy that I could use my Ipad to check email, and surf internet.

The breakfast buffet is on the fifth floor and has many variety of Chinese and Western food with egg and noodle stations. Please note that the Chinese dishes are in a large side room. Many of my tour mates missed that until I alerted them. If you prefer Chinese breakfast, please keep this in mind.

I would recommend this hotel to my friends.
