Awesome off the beaten path hotel! Very cool experience getting to sleep in the temple. The breakfast was also amazing. The view from our room was breathtaking. Would highly suggest this hotel for anyone wanting an authentic experience.
Response from Property: Thank you for coming to Yuantong Pagoda Temple to experience a peaceful life. At the foot of the Great Wall, bathe in the Buddha's light, listen to the Sanskrit sound, hold a pious wish, do nothing, pray for all things in heaven and earth, bless your home and descendants, and wish you complete blessings and wisdom, good luck at all times, and more favorable conditions.

If you have mobility issues, then this place is not for you. If you don't, then you really have to give this place a try. It's amazing! Service is amazing. They are super helpful and helped carry our huge heavy luggage up. The whole place is so zen but best of all, is the view. Especially when the great wall lights up at night. Breakfast is plentiful and really good even though it's vegetarian. The whole place is just so zen and calm. Very quiet. I would stay here again if I return.

Nice and clean hotel. Friendly staffs. Nice breakfast. Awesome view of the water town especially at night. Perfect spot for drone show. Highly recommended. Except need to climb up a flight of steps.

Excellent view from our room that allows us to see the entire Gubei town and the great wall. Rooms were big and clean. The breakfast was also very nice. Would definitely recommend to those who don't mind having to climb 100 steps to this temple hotel

Firstly, Gubei Watertown is a very well managed tourist destination and Yuantong Pagoda is one of the accomodation there. Our room is peaceful and quiet and the small challenge is to walk up 2 flights of stairs to reach accomodation. It is well worth it as this high vantage point offer a good view of the town below and the Simatai Great Wall behind. The breakfast is super healthy and the tea they offered is nice. The water is so clean you can consume it off the tap in the washroom Interesting feature at the Pagoda : Do note that there is a cavern beneath the Pagoda which house interesting statues

I traveled here with my best friend and I was surprised by how amazing the location was. It is inside the temple near the pagoda, the rooms are literally inside a temple, it is pretty cool. Big rooms, Very clean, nice light, very interesting breakfast. We loved our stay there, especially the view. The rooms are way better in real than in the photos. Best place to stay in Gubei!

Perfect getaway accommodation. The place is serene. The room is very clean, bed and pillows were comfortable too. Bathroom amenities were complete and comes with thick n soft bathrobe too. The Jasmine green tea leaves, tea set and apples added a nice touch to the already awesome room. The only thing to consider would be the flight of stairs you will need to go up to the Inn. I would say it felt like having to go up 3 floors of stairs but for us, it was not a problem at all. If you are reasonably fit, this is definitely the best place to stay in Gubei Watertown. The view at night from there is superb.

A pretty interesting hotel set in a temple! Amenities were very new and the room was clean although a bit small. Breakfast was delicious!

The stay was offered at Junyue Inn instead because Yuantong Pagoda Inn is in the maintenance period. The Junyue Inn is located at the centre of the water town. The room is very spacious and there is a back yard overlooking the river. It has a comfortable bed and nice sofa seats for relaxation. The stay offers the free admission to the Onsen and it is really relax after a cold and tired walk.
Response from Property: Thank you for coming to Gubei Water Town to experience a clean life. Bathe in the Buddha's light at the foot of the Great Wall, listen to the sound of Sanskrit, hold sincere aspirations, and do nothing but pray for all things in the world and a blessed home. I wish you full blessings and wisdom, good luck in the six seasons, and good luck.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pagoda. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We both have allergies and when the staff were unsure they asked a guest who spoke English to double check which we really appreciated. The food was delicious. The coupon for the hot springs was a great bonus too, we had a beautiful evening overlooking the Great Wall.
