Beijing Gubei XingKong Villa

The location is not the one shown on the map, and the apartments are quite far from the city for those without a car. However, they arranged free transportation any time we wanted to get to and from the city. We also requested an early breakfast, which they forgot, but they refunded us the cost. The cleanliness of both the apartment and the building leaves much to be desired, but it does offer a beautiful view of the great wall.

This is a good budget option if you want to stay overnight near Gubei Watertown - but there are serious limitations. It was very confusing and quite stressful when we first arrived at the location provided - we couldn’t find the address given, but a local lady was very helpful and called the owners/managers for us and then a driver came to collect us. The address given is a meeting point, not the location of where you are actually staying. It was as we were driven to the 2 apartments (not rooms in an individual villa) that I realised we were not staying in or right at the Watertown as I thought we were. It was a 5-10 minute drive away. To be clear the managers were very friendly and always available on WeChat and the driver took us to and from the Watertown whenever we liked so that was fine - but it means you have to pay entry every time you enter the Watertown - which is expensive - so just take that cost into account. There also didn’t seem to be anywhere to eat at the apartment complex either but perhaps we couldn’t find it (it was a huge complex) so I recommend you eat before you go or take (especially breakfast) food with you. I booked two rooms with a view. One room had a GREAT view of the Great wall (photo included) and the other looked at nondescript trees and grass the other direction. Mainly I went on this special trip with my older parents to Gubei so it was disappointing that we weren’t really staying together in a villa - we were in a giant apartment building on separate floors.

I am very satisfied with the room quality and service at this hotel. The staff is friendly, the room is clean, and well-equipped. However, the hotel's location is not convenient, as it's quite far from the city center and main tourist attractions. The hotel staff also offers a car shuttle service, which somewhat compensates for the inconvenient location. I will definitely return and use the services of this hotel again.

the house is clean and give a cozy atmosphere. boss is so polite they take us to the house and even give a ride to back. Btw bed mattress is thin but yet so comfy. I love it. best reccomend

The information and location of this hotel is totally deceptive. They claim to be located next to the Watertown but when you get to the location they throw you into a shuttle and drive you first about 5kilometers away in the middle of nowhere. So every time you need to go to the Watertown you need to summon them so they can pick you up with the shuttle bus

民宿位置不在景区內, 而在後山最高处, 幸好店家包接送, 不然便要徒步半小時. 環境非常清靜. 只可惜高处不勝寒, 而房間空調極不給力如同雪房. 浴室無供暖, 欲哭無淚. 几番折騰又換房, 空調稍好但被枕單薄如夏季, 試問在負4度的寒夜怎頂得住, 一夜難眠. 還好店家服务態度不差, 不過冬天真的極不適合入住.
