JW Marriott Hotel Taiyuan

Even though there were plenty of surface parking spaces, we were still required to park in the underground garage. To make matters worse, the walkway connecting the underground garage to the hotel elevator smelled awful!

As the most luxurious hotel in Taiyuan and a high-end property under Marriott, my recent stay was just so-so. Located right next to a core commercial mall, the entrance area suffers from severe traffic jams within a one-kilometer radius during peak hours. While the room size is decent, the interior spatial layout is poorly designed. A disproportionate amount of space is allocated to the bathroom and walk-in closet, both of which are completely open-concept. The most bizarre part is that the toilet and shower areas are separated entirely by transparent glass, making everything clearly visible from the room. It’s impossible to use the restroom if there's anyone else in the room, let alone take a shower (see for yourself 👀). Having stayed at numerous hotels, this is a first for me—even budget hotels at least use frosted glass or have a retractable curtain/blind. On the bright side, when the bedside pendant light didn't work and the bathroom sink was clogged, the engineering department responded quickly and fixed them. As for the breakfast, the local Taiyuan specialties were poorly executed.

My recent stay at the Taiyuan Marriott was overall a very comfortable experience. Located on Qinxianshen Street, it has a shopping mall right downstairs, making dining and shopping super convenient. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable for a good night's sleep, and the soundproofing was good too. The service attitude was great, check-in was fast, and the breakfast offered a wide variety with delicious food.

The room is very spacious, with a separate bathroom and toilet area, and soaking in the tub is wonderfully relaxing. The hotel is in a great location right next to Maoye World, making shopping very convenient. Room service is prompt and the staff are very attentive. The breakfast spread is rich with various local Taiyuan specialties available! Would definitely stay here again 👏

Stayed at JW Marriott Hotel Taiyuan, which ranks number one in Taiyuan on Trip.com. The doorman was extremely attentive, running over to open the car door and handle our luggage. Check-in was fast, and the deposit was only 500. The room has a great layout, featuring a central island that groups the minibar and vanity area together, with a three-section sliding door separating the wet and dry areas. The minibar is quite generous, and they provide welcome fruit and turn-down service. The breakfast was fantastic—the egg station had live cooking displays, the noodle station offered around six choices, and there was an abundance of Shanxi specialty foods. The local Taiyuan Tounao (mutton soup) was out of this world! There were twelve types of fruit of great quality, six kinds of house-fermented yogurt, and about twelve varieties of freshly squeezed juice. Highly recommended!

The hotel rooms are spacious and functional, and very clean. All the staff are friendly, warm, and attentive. The breakfast offers a great variety, and the freshly ground coffee is delicious.

The room was very large and quiet, and the staff were all very nice. The lobby has direct access to the shopping mall, making dining very convenient. The only minor issue is that the traffic at the entrance can be a bit congested; ride-hailing cars usually won't drive right up to the hotel lobby and you have to wait for them out on the main road.

Surroundings review: There is a large exhaust vent right downstairs from this room, making it extremely noisy. If you are looking for peace and quiet, think twice and choose carefully! One star~ All hotel staff were very polite and worked hard, five-star review!

We were satisfied with the room facilities, cleanliness, environment, and service. The hotel is in a convenient location with a large shopping mall right next to it, and the breakfast was exceptionally rich. When we arrived by taxi, the driver stopped outside, and the doorman immediately came over to help with our luggage—definitely worth a thumbs-up!
