Beijing Badaling Great Wall Cao's Courtyard Hostel

The owner pick up us on the Badailing Railway Station at night. And the room are clean and confortable. The distance from the Hotel is very near arround 1.2 KM..Can reach by walking to Badailing Great Wall. Thank you for Mr David (The Owner)

Cao's Great Wall Hostel in Badaling is a sweet little hotel in a village where the owner, David, grew up. Out of an ancient courtyard compound was created the hostel along a hutong near the Great Wall. It's a small enterprise with small, immaculately clean guest rooms that have everything a traveler needs for a comfortable stay. The courtyard garden is teeming with healthy blooming plants that are tended to with much care. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with small restaurants and storefronts just down the street. David and his wife speak fluent English and they are both warm, outgoing, and eager to assist their guests. Indeed, they go out of their way to be sure you're comfortable and well taken of. From their small hotel menu, I ordered egg and tomato noodle soup for dinner and fried chicken steak with coffee the next morning. Both meals cooked by David's father were simple and delicious. Although very close to the Great Wall, Cao's Hostel is a bit tricky to find from the railway station. David provides a video guide on how to reach it nand I found him waiting on the street for me when I finally got to the point where we turned into his village. For a very homey stay run by a lovely family in an extremely quiet area near the Great Wall at an excellent price, I highly recommend Cao's Great Wall Hostel.

Basic guesthouse for overnight staying, friendly service.

The owner is super nice and helpful, walking distance from Badling great wall. The room was clean and cosy

Excellent experience for me and my son

This is a cute tucked-in-a -corner type of hostel. Like a bed and breakfast. The room us a bit cold in December but it didnt deter me from coming back next year around August ir September. Not easy to find off the main road but following the map helps. The husband & wife team are excellent host and accomodating. I had problem ordering a taxi to Beijing and they helped me ordered a local cab within minutes. They went Abode and beyond
