We booked this hotel because it looked good. 
nice value, but the service was not recommended. Not enough toilet roll, broken TV, broken telephone. Toilet no water. 

I don't think these problem should happen in a 4 star hotel, even with lower price.

"Looked" good

It is rated a 4-star hotel and we think so too.  The room is a little bit "over-used" but the size, comfort and cleanliness worth for every single penny.  The traffic is extremely busy because of its location (just across from the train station and close to a bus terminal).  We asked for a room at the rear of the building and could still hear the noises a bit.  We stayed there for a total of 3 nights and were very happy with their customer services (especially the front desk and Mr Cho, the manager).  In terms of the restaurant downstair, we went for the dinner buffet and it was just so-so.  We would suggest trying somewhere else.

There is a big grocery next door.  You can get anything you need there.  If you are taking the train like we did, you can buy cooked food or snack and drinks with you before getting on the train.  Otherwise, there is a KFC (next to the Grocery) and McDonald (just across from the hotel).

We highly recommend it for the location and price

The hotel was very good value at a very convenient location if using the train. The staff did not speak much English but was friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was good. Too bad there is no black coffee available. The room was nice, but with a lot of traffic noise and the beds were rather hard.

Excellent value, convenient location

The Jin Lin (aka Jinlin) Oriental Hotel is a Chinese Hotel directly across the road from the Taiyuan train station.  It is a marvelous location for people using the train system.  It is not very close to the downtown area, but as in all Chinese cities, taxis are fairly cheap.  We knew that this was going to be more Chinese than international hotels, but it is recommended in Lonely Planet and we enjoy the Chinese experience.  We were fortunate to meet a wonderful young lady working in the hotel who had excellent English.  Even though she was working in a different restaurant, she took us to the first floor buffet, showed us around, helped us purchase tickets, and returned later in the meal to make sure we were OK.  Other service staff in the buffet restaurant seemed more comfortable understanding English and we were able to communicate with simple English and hand signals.  It worked out quite nicely.  The room was on the front of the building, which received substantial road noise (horns!) even during the night.  With a bit more attention to detail, my assessment of the room would rise.  For example, our sink faucet and the shower enclosure leaked, two problems which could be easily repaired.  The room was large and the bed was comfortable.   If you stay here, do not expect the amenities of an international hotel, but for a good place with the Chinese experience, it is fine.
