Mixed feeling after staying at this hotel. The room is in the ”Business” section, but there is no table and chair for work.
No hangers or towel hooks near the sink
. No programs in English on TV.
Staff is friendly, check-in is fast.

CCatherinaWe booked two nights at this hotel. What we liked was that it was very spacious, and also really clean. Also the airconditioning was easy to setup and worked really well so we could sleep good! It was also very nice that the hotel has this free shuttle to the trainstation in Gubeikou: they didn’t tell us about it though, I had to find out myself when I asked them to call us a taxi.
I do have to point out that this place was a little weird. We were here in off-season, so I understand that maybe some services/amneties are not in use, but at some moments we felt a bit unwelcome. They promote their café with specialty coffee in their photos, but this was closed most of the time. We managed to order coffee two times, but the staff acted as if this was really a hastle for them.
Also, while the room was big and spacious, the water in the shower took a very very long time to get warm and even when it did it switched a lot between hot and cold.
Locationwise, not the best: there’s no restaurants around. Only one other homestay (25-30 min walk) offered food - that was great. Also, there is no didi here, so you have to find your way around asking local people to take you somewhere and pay them. Maybe the hotel offers this as well? I don’t know, they didn’t tell us. The jinshanling Great Wall is beautiful, you can reach it by foot in about 1h.
In short, it was okay. But really too expensive for what you get.
HHelena CroMozThe most fabulous hotel my family have ever stayed in and the best reception staff member ever - Mr. Lang. Lang was so wonderful, my son had a birthday during the stay and Lang organized a free room upgrade, beautiful decoration and they even sang happy birthday to my son. Lang and his group brung in a tasty cake for our family to celebrate. Just to add that Mr Langs English is excellent as well and we had smooth communication. The hotel is beautiful and the breakfast very tasty. Hot springs and cinema were great as well. We have travelled all over the world but have never experienced such a fabulous service. Thank you Mr. Lang and thank you Thaiwoo hotel!!
