YIFAN Royal Park

This guesthouse is highly recommended! The room comes with a '闺蜜机' (a type of smart projector often used by female friends), which is super convenient – you can pull it right up to the bedside to watch. You can also see the public tea area from the floor-to-ceiling window. The overall cleanliness is exceptional, and items are neatly arranged. The hairdryer and slippers provided are of really good quality. I've never seen a guesthouse offer cotton slippers before [grin], they are so comfortable! The hairdryer is also excellent with strong airflow. The location is great, within walking distance to Huayan Temple and Daiwangfu, and parking is convenient. A very satisfying trip!

The room decor was very tasteful; you could tell the host put a lot of thought into every corner. The butler was also very attentive, and even though it was the off-season, the service remained high-quality. I've already shared my experience with friends, and I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Datong!

What a hidden gem of a guesthouse I stumbled upon in Datong Ancient City! It's located right on the north side of the Daiwang Mansion, making it incredibly convenient to explore the ancient city on foot. The new Chinese-style design of the standalone courtyard house is absolutely stunning. The tea room's atrium, with its lush greenery, exudes a sense of Zen. The smart devices in the rooms and the soft-water bathroom facilities are both very comfortable. The 24-hour butler service is incredibly attentive, and the breakfast is exquisite. Waking up to a view of the ancient city right outside my window truly elevated my entire Datong experience. Highly recommend!

I was incredibly impressed with my first stay here! The 24-hour butler service was so thoughtful; even arriving in the early hours of the morning, someone was there to greet me, patiently explain the room's amenities, and respond to any request super quickly, which made me feel very secure. The guesthouse's location is excellent, and the surrounding area is incredibly quiet, allowing me to sleep in undisturbed. The overall decor has a Zen-like feel – simple yet elegant – instantly putting me at ease. The lobby's atmosphere is very soothing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to relax and unwind!

【Snowy Night Blind Box · A Healing Haven in the Carb Capital | My Stay Report at Yifan Shangyuan】— A Spontaneous Perfect Choice 🚄 Travel Background A heavy snowfall in Beijing disrupted our self-driving plans, leading to a last-minute high-speed train trip to Datong, the “Carb Capital.” While searching for guesthouses online, my main criteria were a safe location, cleanliness, comfort, smart amenities, and good value for money. I finally settled on Yifan Shangyuan, which opened in September 2025. Its detached courtyard, smart features, and modern aesthetics perfectly avoided the oppressive feeling of traditional old houses. First and foremost, I want to thank all the reviewers for their honest feedback, which helps fellow travelers like us avoid pitfalls. ✨ Key Experience Highlights 🤩 Butler Service: Warmth in the Wind and Snow ✅ Instant response after booking: complimentary pickup from the station, route planning, pre-collection of needs. ✅ The butler was already waiting in the parking lot upon arrival, and we received a free room upgrade on a snowy day (a thoughtful gesture during the off-season). ✅ Even for a single diner, breakfast was meticulously prepared: freshly cooked millet porridge, hot milk, and a fruit platter, making up for the limited variety of a buffet. 🤩 Hygiene Details: A Germaphobe's Dream ✅ "Yi Hu Yi Ke" kettle with replaceable inner pot (adjustable water temperature) + MUJI compressed towels. ✅ Dyson hairdryer, Starbucks capsule coffee machine. ✅ Underfloor heating and air conditioning dual-system for constant temperature, allowing bare feet on the spotless floor (impeccable cleanliness of the bluestone bricks). 🤩 Smart Living: A New Establishment's Game-Changer ✅ Whole-house voice control (Xiao Ai smart assistant), private elevator, and motion-sensing staircase lights. ✅ Convenient screen mirroring with the Hisense “闺蜜机” (a smart display), and the capsule coffee machine adds a touch of ritual. The sunken courtyard offers a perfect spot to enjoy the snow and tea, where modern minimalist style meets the ancient city's heritage. —————— From the hurried blind box of a snowy night high-speed train to a warm and reassuring sanctuary upon entry—smart features unlock convenience, attention to detail cures germaphobia, and butler service adds warmth. Although this trip was short and left many regrets, I would very, very likely choose Yifan again next time.

The room matched the pictures perfectly, and I loved the simple and elegant decor. It's conveniently located near Southeast City. The room was very quiet at night, and as someone who often suffers from insomnia, I slept soundly and peacefully this time. The cleanliness was excellent, and the butler service was exceptionally attentive, resolving any issues promptly. Breakfast was also provided. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay!
