Beijing Gubei XingKong Villa

The apartment has an unbeatable view on the great wall and the surrounding mountains. The host will accomodate your transport to the main entrance of the town.

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.

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.

Service wad excellent

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
