Beijing Miyun District Hotels

We had a wonderful stay at Gubei Water Town Hotel, and a special mention must go to our concierge, 赵本林, who truly made our stay memorable. The hotel rooms were clean, neat, and very comfortable. We had a great night's sleep every night, and the room was well maintained throughout our stay. 赵本林 was incredibly helpful, responsive, and efficient with all our requests, but what stood out most was his cheerful and warm personality. Every time we saw him, he greeted us with such a happy and welcoming smile that it genuinely put us in a good mood. When my husband was not feeling well, he even offered to arrange transportation for him to get medicine, which we really appreciated. It was such a thoughtful gesture that showed genuine care for guests. We have stayed at many 4- and 5-star hotel chains around the world, but 赵本林's level of service is one of the most memorable we have experienced. It is rare to meet someone who combines efficiency with such genuine warmth and care. Thank you, 赵本林, for taking such good care of our family and making our stay extra special. We highly recommend Gubei Water Town Hotel and would happily stay here again.

The location is super convenient, right on Sun and Moon Island. The room was clean and spacious, and the facilities were brand new. They even gave us a non-smoking room as requested. The owner was really friendly and helpful; we could leave our luggage there while we were out exploring. The bed was incredibly comfortable – we slept so well! It also came with attraction tickets and complimentary hot spring passes, which is amazing value for money. I'd definitely consider staying here again!

On the morning of our check-in, the hotel called to inform us that due to the typhoon, they were being used as a temporary shelter, so our booking was moved to a Deluxe Family Room at Gubei Zhiguang. The room at Gubei Zhiguang was a bit smaller and the facilities felt a bit dated, but the breakfast was good, which somewhat made up for it. What I found unacceptable was the 25 CNY charge for the hotel parking. Of course, this isn't the hotel's fault, but rather an issue with the overall scenic area management. By the way, a shoutout to the Chinese restaurant opposite Gubei Zhiguang – it was excellent.

The Inn is run by a lovely, friendly young couple. Very helpful and enthusiastic in their service. The Inn is located at the end of the water town, practically next to the Simatai great wall cable car entrance and very near to one of the hotel hot springs. 1.The price of the Inn included entrance tickets into the water town (apparently you have to pay separately for entrance into the water town if your hotel is outside the town or if your hotel package doesn't include the entrance fee). 2. Also included are entrance tickets to the Simatai great wall but not the cable car. You need to pay separately for cable car up/down the wall. Single cable car ticket 130rmb. Return cable car ticket 200rmb. 3. Discount entrance ticket to the Simatai great wall at night. Normal price 220rmb. Discount price 120rmb. 4. Free shuttle bus ride within the water town. Very useful when you have luggage to carry or just want to go back/forth around town. 5. Traditional Chinese breakfast every morning 7.30 - 9.30am 6. Two free entrance tickets to use the hot springs. I really enjoyed my stay here. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Gubei is a beautiful water town, well worth a visit. I will be uploading more photos and videos of the hotel and my China travel on my YouTube channels TheTravelDiary and goody2shoos once I'm back in the UK so check out my YouTube channels for more information. Happy travels.

Fantastic hotel overall! The location is easy to find, and the environment is clean. The service was warm and attentive, making my stay very comfortable. It's great value for money, and I'll definitely be back. My stay exceeded expectations; the atmosphere was elegant and peaceful. The room layout was well-designed, clean, and odor-free. The bedding was soft and comfortable for a good night's sleep. The attention to detail in the service was excellent, making for a truly relaxing and pleasant stay.

The hotel is located all the way at the end of Gubei Water Town, but they provide a free 24/7 shuttle service that can drop guests off at their desired destinations within the town. If the shuttle is not readily available, there is a hotline you can call and a driver will come to pick you up, which is extremely convenient. The hotel is also just a five-minute walk from the entrance to the Great Wall. As hotel guests staying overnight, we received discounted tickets to access the Great Wall, which was a nice bonus. Another highlight is that this hotel is one of only three hotels in the area that offer complimentary access to the hot springs. On our first night, we visited another hotel’s hot spring and were provided with free admission tickets. On the second night, we enjoyed complimentary access to the hot spring at our own hotel. The outdoor hot spring overlooking the Great Wall was a truly memorable experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall setting was pleasant. The only downside was that the lobby toilets were squat toilets. We would have preferred Western-style toilets for added comfort. Luckily, the room toilet was a western style toilet. We did a night visit to the Great Wall and came down around 8.30pm. Unfortunately, the dinner service around the hotel area has ended and we could only visit the main town to get dinner. Overall, the convenient shuttle service, Great Wall access, and complimentary hot springs made for a very enjoyable stay.

First time staying here, and overall, it was a good experience. The hotel has a charming blend of Chinese and Western styles and is ideally located within the scenic area of Shanshui City. The room was very spacious, and the facilities were quite good. Thumbs up!

I booked this hotel for a weekend getaway with my child because it's newly opened, offers family rooms, and is easy to find. Overall, our stay was incredibly comfortable. The decor, bedding, kids' facilities, and service were all excellent, and the food was delicious too. The family room was fully equipped with everything a child could need, and there was even a separate play area for kids on the same floor with extensive facilities – truly, everything you could imagine was there. The attention to detail was outstanding. What truly stood out was the hotel's decor. Whether at the front desk, in the restaurant, or in the room, it created such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The soundproofing in the rooms was also excellent, making for a very quiet and peaceful stay, really giving off a vacation vibe. If we ever visit Miyun with my child again, I'll definitely stay here.

Overall, the stay was quite good and I would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the city who is looking for accommodation with a scenic view. From the higher levels, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city, and there is also a beautiful pagoda located behind the property which adds to the charm. The service was generally good, and language barriers were not an issue at all, as the staff were very helpful and willing to assist whenever needed. However, future guests should be prepared for the access to the hotel. If you do not want to get too tired, it is advisable to travel with light luggage, as you will need to climb a significant number of steps from the main road up to the reception area. This is because the property is built within what feels like a temple-like compound, so reaching the rooms requires quite a bit of walking uphill. A unique stay with great views and helpful staff, but best suited for those comfortable with a bit of climbing and walking. For the room, I stayed in the Scenic Mountain-Style Double Bed Room and was quite satisfied. The room is spacious with a slightly old-style atmosphere, but still well equipped with modern amenities. The bathroom water system and overall cleanliness were excellent. One thing to note is the warning about insects entering the room if windows are left open for too long, which makes sense given the hillside location. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay in a unique mountain setting.

Overall, I'm very satisfied. The room itself actually exceeded my expectations. I had read reviews mentioning bugs, but in reality, it was a very clean and tidy wooden environment (I had imagined it might have gaps everywhere allowing bugs in). The furniture was really well-maintained, not at all outdated. The service was top-notch, nothing to complain about. Hiking, enjoying the breeze in the mountains, admiring the flowers, listening to the birdsong – it was all very pleasant. The 'attractions' really aren't much, just natural scenery. The scenic area has named some rocks, but they look so unlike their names that I could barely match any of them. This one I found myself is much better; I've named it 'Orangutan Rock.' Pretty similar, right? It's located near the Jade Rabbit rock on the 18 Pangu Ancient Road, looking across at the opposite mountain. ⸝⸝ ᷇࿀ ᷆⸝⸝
