Family Hotels in Hebei, China

Whenever I visit Gu'an, I always choose this hotel. The rooms are spacious, and the surrounding area is fantastic with plenty of dining and shopping options. Central Park is just across the street, perfect for a leisurely stroll after dinner – it's incredibly relaxing. The only downside this time of year is the abundance of poplar catkins, which can be quite annoying.

Our family stayed in a D-block mountain view room at Nanshanli Hotel in Thaiwoo Ski Resort. The moment we opened the door, the floor-toceiling windows immediately filled our vision with lush green mountains, blue skies, and white clouds. Our child excitedly pressed against the window, refusing to move – this choice was absolutely perfect! First, about the room itself. The mountain view room in D-block offers an excellent vista. In the morning, you can watch the misty mountains, and in the evening, enjoy sunsets painting the ridges red. It was cool enough at night that we didn't need air conditioning; sleeping under a light blanket to the sound of the wind was an absolute luxury for us city dwellers. The room was spacious and very comfortable for two adults and one child. The facilities were new and clean, and the small table and chairs on the balcony became our family's 'treasured spot' for tea and relaxation. Bringing the child was incredibly easy. D-block's G-floor has a craft room and a game room, so we could 'deposit' our child there to play just by going downstairs. The 'Hi-Sen Paradise' on the first floor completely tired out our little one, and there's even a deer park at the entrance, where feeding the deer and alpacas became a daily ritual. The hotel offers kids' club托管, allowing adults to finally break away to enjoy the hot springs or explore the town – truly something for everyone. The service was also wonderfully heartwarming. The front desk staff patiently introduced attractions and activities. The hotel also provides a free shuttle bus to and from the town and the high-speed rail station, making travel stress-free. In short, Nanshanli in August fulfilled all our desires for escaping the heat, entertaining the kids, and relaxing. Especially the D-block mountain view room, which ensured we woke up in a good mood every day. Our child keeps talking about wanting to go back and feed the deer again, and we've already planned a second visit. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to escape into the mountains with their family for the summer!

This time I came during the start of the seafood season, but it wasn't peak season yet, so there were far fewer people. The lower floors were cheaper, while the higher-floor sea view rooms were more expensive. Standard rooms were affordable, but those with family-friendly tents or designs cost more. Currently, the first and second canteens are not open, but they will be during peak season. It's less than a ten-minute walk to the beach. Inside the resort, there are individually-owned electric vehicles available for one, two, three, or four people, with different models. The price is a bit high at 69 yuan per hour. However, these are not affiliated with the hotel, so if there are any issues or disputes, the hotel will not intervene. The hotel's front desk and housekeeping staff were very professional; they immediately provided room service even when called late at night. Many thanks!

Traveling solo, I chose The Landy Hotel, and it perfectly matched my aesthetic. The overall design features a simple, natural wood style with no excessive decoration. The room layout felt relaxed and comfortable, and the floor-to-ceiling window framed the garden view like a painting. The outdoor garden is meticulously maintained, with plants thoughtfully arranged and winding paths that make for a wonderfully quiet stroll, far from the hustle and bustle. The room was clean and tidy, the amenities felt high-quality, and the staff were very friendly. I felt incredibly peaceful staying here all day – it’s a great place to unwind and recharge alone. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Aranya.

The overall environment was quiet and comfortable, and the room had excellent natural light. The room service staff were enthusiastic and polite, responding quickly to requests with thoughtful and attentive service. The entire room was cleaned meticulously, with corners and bathrooms spotless. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress was just the right firmness – very relaxing to lie on, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Overall, I was very satisfied with everything. It's my top choice for travel accommodations, and I'll definitely come back again.

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!

The environment was great. I specifically requested a king-sized bed for my baby, and they happily accommodated, which made my little one super happy rolling around on it. The hotel also had some activities that captivated my baby's attention. The complimentary cable car tickets were a nice bonus too. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains, so make sure to dress warmly.

This stay truly exceeded all expectations. As foreigners visiting Zhangjiakou in December for the first time for both travel and skiing, the overall experience couldn’t have been better — it was absolutely top-notch 👍. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with a sense of warmth and genuine hospitality. The front desk staff were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They immediately noticed that we were traveling with children and had quite a bit of luggage, and proactively offered assistance, which made us feel very well cared for right away. The dining experience was equally impressive. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options to suit different tastes, and the availability of late-night snacks was a wonderful bonus, especially after a long day of skiing. Overall, whether it was the attention to detail at the front desk, the comfort and quality of the accommodation, or the excellent food and beverage service, this hotel truly delivered on all fronts. It’s absolutely an ideal choice for families traveling with children, and we would highly recommend Atour to anyone visiting Zhangjiakou.

Pros: The hotel boasts an excellent location, with a variety of restaurants right outside the back door. During my stay, I enjoyed Korean BBQ, regular BBQ, hot pot, and iron pot stew – all delicious! The only minor downsides were the limited vegetable selection and prices being a bit higher than Beijing, but that's typical for mountain areas. The hotel facilities are quite comprehensive: air conditioning, hot water, and soundproofing were all perfect. The pool, gym, and reading room were great spots to pass the time on rainy days. The pool has separate sections for adults and children, and the water isn't too deep. If you go, make sure to bring all your gear! Cons: The breakfast menu remained largely the same for the entire week. The Western options were decent, but the Chinese breakfast was too monotonous. Lunch and dinner were essentially just rebranded breakfast items. Laundry requires purchasing tokens at the front desk, and washing and drying are charged separately at 50 yuan each. Suggestions: Without significantly increasing costs, the menu could definitely be diversified. Given the number of seniors with children staying at the hotel, easy-to-store and transport vegetables like bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, tofu, and tomato with egg could be rotated more often. The sauces for noodles and the porridge options could also be varied. Please, please don't serve the fruits and drinks so cold – my stomach can't handle it!

For a hotel of this caliber, I'd say it's pretty good. The location is excellent, right next to the beach. Breakfast was plentiful, and the service was prompt. Zhao Ying at the front desk was very helpful, answering all my questions patiently and thoroughly. However, there were quite a few issues with the details: When we booked the table tennis club, we assumed it was part of the hotel's facilities. To our surprise, after the 'person in charge' arrived, they asked us to switch to another table with noticeable damage. That wouldn't have been a big deal, but then the 'person in charge' and three teammates started playing on the table we had just vacated. My family then started using a robot practice machine, but we were stopped and told that we had only rented one table. With just one minute left on our time slot, we were 'precisely' reminded that our time was up. To keep my family happy, I didn't say anything, but I have to wonder: if both tables were the same, why were we made to switch? And if they weren't the same, why wasn't the price different? This is the first time I've encountered such a situation at a hotel, and I'm not even sure if this is under hotel management's purview. The overall room hygiene was acceptable, but there was always a urine smell in the toilet cubicle. The hot spring pool in the small courtyard was full of fallen leaves, clearly not cleaned for a long time. The door to the courtyard was warped, making it difficult to open and close, and the sensor light kept turning on by itself, so we had to block it. There are many steps throughout the hotel, and some of them lack accessible ramps. Even where ramps exist, they are so steep that they wouldn't be practical for people with disabilities. I hope the hotel can improve on these points and continue to get better.
