3-Star Hotels in Hebei, China

An older hotel, but the facilities are still complete and the room was pretty clean. You can't expect too much from an old hotel. It's best to take a Didi (ride-hailing service) from the station; don't just jump into a shared ride, you might get ripped off. It's just outside the city wall, and I personally think staying here is more comfortable than inside the wall. Among the performances, only the iron flower show is worth seeing, but you absolutely need to get there early to secure a good spot, otherwise, you won't be able to watch. The commercial streets are all pretty much the same!

A Budget-Friendly Seaside Gem: Giranchy Sea View Hotel Qinhuangdao My stay at Giranchy Sea View Hotel in Qinhuangdao’s Gold Coast was a delightful surprise—especially for travelers seeking unbeatable ocean views without breaking the bank. This hotel nails the core of a great seaside getaway: prime location, satisfying views, and thoughtful touches that make the trip smooth. Let’s start with its unbeatable location—the biggest highlight. Tucked in the heart of Gold Coast at the intersection of Yijing Road and Siwei Road , it’s just a short walk across the street to the golden beach. I timed it once, and it took only 5 minutes to sink my feet into the soft sand . No long drives or shuttle waits—perfect for spontaneous morning dips or evening sunset strolls. The sea view experience is exactly what you’d hope for. Every room comes with a large viewing balcony , and the east-facing orientation means unobstructed sunrise views. Waking up, pulling back the curtains, and watching the sun paint the Bohai Sea pink while still in bed? Pure magic. At night, the sound of waves becomes a natural lullaby—total relaxation. The hotel’s little perks add up too. They offer free bicycle rentals, which let me cruise along the coastline and soak in the sea breeze . Pet owners will love that it’s pet-friendly, so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind. There’s also free private parking , a big plus if you’re driving. The Chinese-style buffet breakfast (served 7:00-10:00 ) hits the spot, and kids under 1.2m eat free—great for families. The only minor downside is the decor, which feels a bit outdated , but it’s easily overlooked for the value. The rooms are clean, with essential amenities like cable TV, showers, slippers, and toiletries , so comfort isn’t compromised. For a 100+ yuan price point , Giranchy Sea View Hotel delivers far more than expected. If you’re after convenience, stunning sunrises, and a laid-back coastal vibe in Qinhuangdao, this is a no-brainer. I’d absolutely book again!

The room was incredibly spacious and exceptionally bright. The breakfast spread was generous and absolutely delicious. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They even had a robot deliver breakfast vouchers and disposable cups to our room promptly. Even the housekeeping staff were attentive, proactively asking if we needed our room serviced. Complimentary parking was a huge plus. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. Vienna Hotel will definitely be my top choice for future stays.

I booked this guesthouse with a 'let's see' attitude. It was pouring rain on the way there, and I almost turned back, but when I arrived, I was incredibly impressed! I brought my own stove to barbecue in the yard, and the guesthouse owner (brother) was super patient, helping us prepare everything, even starting the fire and teaching us some tricks. He was also mindful not to disturb us, leaving after he showed us what to do – truly enthusiastic and nice! Also, the guesthouse owner (sister) was fantastic. The next morning, she made us a huge breakfast spread. There was so much food that the two of us were stuffed, only managing to finish two plates. The timing of our visit was perfect. There were very few people in the courtyard, almost like having the whole place to ourselves, which made for an amazing experience! The weather was also very comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold, and walking along the path was incredibly refreshing. I'm planning to go back next time with friends and my dog, and also try the whole roasted lamb that was featured on CCTV2! 😍

The hotel's location is pretty good, and the surroundings are very quiet. It's only about a 19-minute drive to Jinshanling Great Wall. However, the Jinshanling exit on the G45 Beijing-Chengde Expressway is closed, so you have to take a detour. When there are fewer guests, breakfast is served individually with generous portions. When it's busy, they open a buffet with a wider variety of options. The room was spacious, great for families. But there were a lot of ladybugs (or 'stink bugs' as some call them) that somehow got into the room; we had to clear them out as soon as we checked in. The bathroom drain was clogged, so the facilities definitely need some maintenance. It's probably okay for a 1-2 night stay.

I expected the special offer room to be run-down, but it far exceeded my expectations. While the facilities are a bit dated, the hygiene was exceptionally good. The sheets and duvet covers were clean and odorless. The hotel opens right onto the beach, making it perfect for morning and evening strolls along the boardwalk.

The room was spacious and bright, with a clothes rack. We parked right downstairs, and our window offered a lovely sea view of the pier and beach – they call it a 'side sea view' room, I believe. There's a small gate from the hotel that leads directly to the beach, but you need a resident's card to use it. Otherwise, you can walk out through the main community entrance, which takes about 7 minutes and is very close to the bathing area. The community has restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's also a supermarket at the community entrance where you can rent swimming rings, or you can rent them at the beach – both are 10 yuan for unlimited use. The sand at Golden Coast Bathing Beach is quite fine, as expected for part of Nandaihe Golden Coast.

The hotel is close to Chang'an Wanda, making transportation convenient as it's right by the subway exit. However, the lobby is very small, and the elevators take an incredibly long time. The hotel is located in an office building. The rooms are clean and hygienic, but the breakfast is just average. Even though there are four elevators serving the hotel, they are genuinely hard to wait for.

Facilities: The room facilities are very new and well-designed. The underground parking is convenient, with easy entry and exit. Cleanliness: The housekeeping staff are very diligent and friendly, cleaning promptly. Environment: The overall design of the hotel is very thoughtful. Service: The front desk staff are kind and answer all questions, even proactively introducing hotel facilities and services. A fruit plate is provided daily. This is my second stay, and I'm still very satisfied.

Facilities: The room is big enough, a luxurious room from 15 years ago, with old and outdated facilities. Service: The service is OK Hygiene: Average, the noodles are OK What needs to be complained is still the breakfast. Although it is included, there is nothing left when I went there at 8 o'clock. There are only a few pickles and two cold dishes, which are also the bottom, and there is no staple food. After everyone's strong reaction, some quick-frozen bean buns came up, which were all cold and not heated through, and they had to be snatched. And there were no basic eggs, at least one per person, and the waiter said we didn't have eggs. The restaurant waiter said that there were too many people and the food couldn't be cooked, but how many people stayed every day and the front desk didn't communicate, don't they know how many people eat? Free bathing is not bad!
