Chengde Hotels with balcony

I came here for the 2026 Jinshanling Great Wall Ultra Marathon. This hotel is definitely the best and only choice for participants due to its super close proximity to the starting line. Although it's an economy hotel, it truly exceeded my expectations (referring specifically to the new building; I haven't stayed in the old one so I can't comment). The owner is incredibly kind and generous. After the race, my checkout time had passed, but they specially found a room for me to take a shower, which was a huge blessing for someone returning from a mountain run. The food at the guesthouse was also good and very convenient. This will definitely be my top choice for any future visits to Jinshanling Great Wall.

I don't usually review places, but I couldn't help but recommend them. It was so relaxing and comfortable here, and everyone of all ages could find something fun. The tent room's facilities exceeded my expectations, with a smart toilet, private bathroom, and comfortable bedding. Bottled water and a kettle were also provided. It was a bit chilly in the mountains at night on May 1st, but the air conditioning provided heat and an electric blanket, so I slept soundly. I experienced the wildness, the facilities were convenient, and the service was just the right amount of friendly. It was a very comfortable stay. I felt the owner's attentiveness and dedication in every aspect, from the supplies to the quality of the food and the design. It was absolutely amazing. It's a great place to escape from the world. There are deer, black pigs, and poultry nearby. You can climb a small hill to the observation deck to enjoy the breeze, bask in the sun on a lounge chair, watch ducks swimming in the water, and see bubbles bursting in the sun. There's also a big, spoiled dog. The cafe is perfect for playing chess and reading. It's a perfect place to lie down and daydream. Falling asleep under the starry sky with the sound of gurgling water is quiet and comfortable. A light rain in the morning brings another scene. The breakfast is simple but delicious, especially the pickled vegetables I pickled myself. I like it here and will come again.

I cannot recommend this farmhouse enough! If you are visiting the Jinshanling Great Wall, staying here is an absolute must. The location is perfect, featuring a beautiful rooftop terrace where you can sit and look directly at the Great Wall in total peace. The room itself was modern, and clean, with a great AC, but set right in the middle of a charming, authentic farm. But the absolute highlight of my stay was the host family. The hospitality is unmatched. The Owner Lady of the house cooked some of the most delicious, massive, and authentic meals I’ve had in China, and she went completely out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and well-fed. The food was also unbelievably affordable. The Owner truly went above and beyond for me. When I was struggling to find a reasonably priced car back to Beijing, he spent hours late at night helping me on WeChat, making sure I wasn't overcharged by local drivers. He eventually helped me find a cheap, highly scenic train route back to the city and personally drove me to the local station. They treated a solo foreign traveler like absolute family. If you want a genuine, heartwarming, and frictionless experience at the Great Wall, book this place. 太好吃了 and 谢谢 to the amazing hosts!”

The hotel staff contacted me in advance to send over the location, and enthusiastically gave us a small gift when we checked out. The service was impeccable. I've already shared my other feedback directly with the hotel. It's such a great location with such spacious rooms. I hope the hotel management can put some effort into renovating or upgrading it. Replace what needs replacing, and I wish the hotel all the best. Worth mentioning: there's a small deer park at the hotel entrance, which brought a lot of joy to the kids.

This hotel is located in what feels like an apartment building, which houses several other hotels as well. It's super close to the train station, with direct underground access right downstairs. The room itself is well-equipped, featuring automatic curtains, a heated toilet seat, a tea set, and an adjustable electric bed. Breakfast isn't a buffet; it's a fixed set menu. You get a pie, eggs, cold dishes, and you can choose between porridge or noodles. The underground parking garage is quite narrow.

The dishes made by the aunt are delicious, the whole mountain vegetables are ordered, the service is also very good, and the scenery in the opposite mountain can also be

I don’t speak Chinese, but the staff there were very friendly and helpful. From checking in to checking out, the front desk staff helped me like a personal assistant. She even scheduled a massage and taxi service. Local guests I met at the hot pools were also very nice and welcoming. This is somewhat old place, but I like places with history. Be aware of the large portion of dishes you get at the restaurant. I couldn’t finish all the dishes as a solo traveler.

Location: Its main advantage is its proximity to the scenic area's entrance. No need for a shuttle bus; it's just a 100-meter walk. You can head out anytime to catch the sunset in the afternoon or the sunrise in the morning. Facilities: Quite old. As it's the only hotel within the scenic area, maintenance is poor. Hygiene: Relatively clean. However, the bathroom has a strong odor, and there's a lot of limescale on the sink, faucet, shower area, and showerhead. The shower area also has a distinct smell. Service: Practically no service to speak of. Rooms are spread across different sections, and there's no bellboy to help with luggage. Only one female staff member helped us with one suitcase; we had to drag the rest ourselves. Overall, it's just average. There are many guesthouses inside the scenic area with equally good locations. If you're looking for better value for money, a guesthouse might be a more advantageous choice.

The resort is still under construction, with almost no shops or activities to keep you around. The room is small, and the communal bath area is tiny, dimly lit, and has showerheads installed very low. For a price of 999 a night, the experience—no, the service—isn't even as good as Atour. When I called the front desk at 11:50 to ask if I could check out half an hour late, the staff actually asked me: ”What's your reason?”

The hotel boasts a beautiful environment and fresh air, and both the facilities and cleanliness are impeccable. The breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were delicious. Overall, the service was satisfactory. However, I have to complain about a front desk staff member who answered the phone between 7 and 10 PM on the 31st. The first time I reported the washing machine wasn't working, she actually told me it was leaking and advised me not to use it. I ended up fixing and using it myself. The second time I called about the shower water not getting hot, her response was even more ridiculous: she told me to just keep running the water until it got hot. I wasted nearly half an hour, and the water never got warm. In the end, a housekeeping staff member came and simply inserted the gas card, which solved the problem. What's worse is her terrible attitude; she was argumentative and refused to admit her incompetence in handling issues, acting as if she knew everything. She definitely deserves a bad review! On another note, the hotel is very close to Jinshanling Great Wall, which is absolutely worth a visit!
