The 18 best spots for lunch in Taiyuan

I stayed here for a few nights this summer, and it was by far the worst InterContinental I’ve ever stayed at in China—no competition. Housekeeping was extremely sloppy: there were crumbs on the floor on the day I checked in, and they were still there on the third day. The bathroom and shower floors were never cleaned. The window sill was covered in dust. The yellow stains in the sink stayed there until I checked out. The mirror was never wiped. The paper under the glass rinsing cup got soaked and torn but was never replaced. The desk was left dirty, and empty bottles were never taken away. By the third day, they didn’t even bother to empty the trash can! I finally couldn’t stand it anymore and called the front desk to complain, but the receptionist confidently told me that housekeeping wouldn’t vacuum unless guests specifically requested it. The thing is—they never vacuumed even once during my stay! The underground parking area was basically a garbage collection site, with a horrible stench in the summer—you literally had to hold your breath going down there. The street in front of the hotel is very narrow, and there were no security staff managing traffic at all. Overall, it was an extremely disappointing and unpleasant experience.

One of the top beautiful hotels in China, the breakfast buffet is superior.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant and luxurious hotel. Provided with everything. Air purifier in the room. Shower and bath (Original) Zeer aangenaam en luxueus hotel. Op alles voorzien. Luchtreiniger in de kamer. Douche en ligbad

(Translated by Google) A pretty good five-star hotel. I feel quite comfortable. (Original) 蠻不錯的五星級酒店 感覺蠻舒服的

(Translated by Google) I drove from Guangzhou through Zhanjiang to Chongqing, then Xi'an, and then to Taiyuan. This was the worst hotel I stayed in during my self-driving trip back to China. I am an IHG member, and I couldn't choose breakfast when I booked through the IHG APP (I later learned that I could choose breakfast It was a mistake), so I manually booked three rooms through IHG’s phone number from August 10th to 12th. The bad experience started when we checked in on the 10th. When I checked in, I was told that the price I booked did not include breakfast. I said that the email I received already showed that breakfast was included. Then there were various inquiries, and it took about ten minutes before they said breakfast was included. I got my room card and went upstairs to three rooms. Two of the rooms were next to the elevator. I immediately went downstairs to change rooms. I had booked a twin room, but there was no option to change rooms. I had to ask for a double room. Two grown men sleep on a large bed. Fortunately, I changed rooms and came to pick up my luggage. There was a naked lunatic standing at the door of the room I was given. Fortunately, the waiter found out that he had given me a bathrobe and put it on. He was scared to death🤯! The next day it was another hassle to change rooms. The breakfast was so bad that it was not worthy of a hotel of this star rating, but the breakfast price was worthy of this star rating. All in all, it was a terrible stay and I will never go to this hotel again. (Original) 我从广州自驾经过湛江到重庆然后西安，再到太原，这是我这趟回国自驾之旅住的最糟糕的酒店，我是IHG的会员，通过IHG APP订选择不了早餐（后面才知道选择早餐是个错误），所以我通过IHG的电话人工订了三间房8月10日-12日。我们10日开始入住糟糕体验开始了，入住时登记，居然说我订的价格不含早餐，我说我收到的邮件已经显示含早餐了。然后又是各种一通查询，折腾了十来分钟才说含早餐。拿到房卡上楼三间房居然两间房是挨着电梯间的，我立马下楼换房间，我订的都是双床房，换房也没有了，只能要了大床房，两个大男人睡一张大床。好在换房了，我换了房上来拿行李，原来给我的那间房门口站一没穿衣服的神经病，好在服务员发现给了个浴袍穿上了，吓死了🤯！第二天又是一通折腾换房。早餐太差了，根本配不上这个星级的酒店，早餐价格却是对得起这个星级。总之，糟糕我透了的入住，再也不会去这家了。

(Translated by Google) The room is average. The environment and location are pretty good. The Grand Theater and MixC are not far away. The hotel's concierge service is really inadequate. The room temperature in November was close to 30 degrees. I asked to change rooms. I have been out for many times and encountered various hotel problems when changing rooms. The default is usually to change to the same level. If there is no room, they will occasionally upgrade. Taiyuan InterContinental is awesome. It was directly downgraded. This operation is really surprising. It's the first time I've encountered it (Original) 房间中规中矩 环境和地段都还不错 走没多远就是大剧院和万象城，就是酒店的礼宾服务真的是不到位啊，十一月的房间 房间温度接近三十度 要求换房 出门多少次了 遇到各种酒店问题换房间 默认一般都是换同级别 没房了偶尔升级，太原洲际就牛逼了 直接降级 这个骚操作真的是惊讶了 头一次遇到

(Translated by Google) This square is very large and there are not many tourists on weekdays. The overall maintenance is pretty good. (Original) 這個廣場非常大，平日旅客不多。整體維護還不錯。

(Translated by Google) I was going to give it one star, but the extra star is for the location of Liuxiang. (Taiyuan) Three-star charges, the level of urban-rural fringe area. The facilities are old, the attitude is average, and the service is unprofessional. The price/performance ratio is low. If you have no special needs, you can consider other hotels in Taiyuan. Anyway, I don’t want to come again (Original) 本来要给一星的，多出一颗星是给柳巷的地理位置。 （太原）三星级的收费，城乡结合部的档次。设施陈旧，态度一般，服务不专业。性价比低，无特殊需求可以考虑太原其他酒店。反正我不想再来了

(Translated by Google) The hotel provides great comfort in its rooms. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, desk, internet access, TV, bathtub and shower. The hotel also has a laundry, dry cleaning, business center, Wi-Fi in public areas, and of course free parking. (Original) Hotel poskytuje vo svojich izbách veľké pohodlie. Izby sú vybavené klimatizáciou, písacícm stolom, prístupom na internet, televízorom, vaňou i sprchou. Hotel má tiež práčovnu, čistiareň, business centrum, Wi - Fi vo verejných priestoroch, samozrejme tiež bezplatné parkovisko.

(Translated by Google) Cheap but worth the price. A business hotel like Toyoko Inn. The environment is nice. (Original) 安いけど値段相応。東横インみたいなビジネスホテル。環境はいいです。
