Beijing Wtown Resort

When the quaint Wuzhen-like water town, with its grey bricks and black tiles, dons its Christmas attire, winter is no longer just a monotonous white. Beautifully decorated Christmas trees and lights as dazzling as a starry river transform the scene. To experience the unique charm of a northern water town, my family and I stayed at the Gubei Star Hotel in Gubei Water Town. To my surprise, we encountered one pleasant surprise after another! 💕 1️⃣ Gubei Water Town offered free admission throughout December! 🎫 That saved us over 200 CNY for two people. 2️⃣ Free shuttle bus rides made exploring the water town a breeze. 🚌 3️⃣ Drone shows, light displays, and musical fountain shows were all free of charge. 4️⃣ We received complimentary hot spring tickets, 🛁 allowing us to enjoy a warm soak in the winter. ♨️ 📍 Gubei Star Hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from Riyue Island. 🏠 The hotel has over 300 rooms, possibly making it the largest hotel within the scenic area. Our room was incredibly spacious, bright, elegant, and fresh. 🛏️ The bedding was clean, tidy, soft, and comfortable. ☕️ The room even had a capsule coffee machine with two complimentary coffee capsules. 🛋️ Next to the window, there was a small side table beside the sofa, perfect for writing or holding books and coffee – very practical. 🖼️ The lobby had several elegant and comfortable seating areas. 🍛 Breakfast was absolutely fantastic with a wide variety of choices – a must-try! Check-in was quick and convenient, and the hotel staff were warm, thoughtful, and meticulous. We even received a complimentary room upgrade this time, offering views of the Yuantong Pagoda and the surrounding night scenery. We were absolutely thrilled! 🥳

Staying at the Gubei Light Hotel was truly excellent value for money. The all-in-one package made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable! The package included tickets to Gubei Water Town, the Great Wall, and the cable car, plus a hot spring experience. It saved us so much hassle and time from having to plan and buy tickets separately. We just packed our bags and started exploring! I have to specially commend the hotel's breakfast – the selection was incredibly rich, with Chinese dim sum, Western dishes, and fresh fruits and vegetables all available. The presentation was exquisite, and the quality was top-notch, giving it a very premium feel. Every morning, we ate to our heart's content. The rooms were generally clean, comfortable, and spacious, making for a very pleasant stay. However, there's one small drawback I should mention: there's quite a difference in room views. Among the several rooms our group booked, only two had decent exterior views, while the others faced inwards with rather ordinary scenery. Aside from the minor issue with the views, the hotel offers great value for money. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, it's an excellent choice for accommodation in Gubei Water Town. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit!

A very pleasant leisure trip. Manager Tong from the hotel contacted me in advance to provide directions and check-in procedures. Upon learning that I was traveling with elderly family members and a child and had booked two rooms, he arranged for connecting rooms and upgraded our room type, offering a view of the Great Wall from the window. My elderly family members even watched the drone show from the room at night. Additionally, since our package included meals for two, the restaurant thoughtfully changed the menu items for us on both days. I'm truly grateful and very satisfied.

The room was clean, the coffee was decent, and it was bright and comfortable. The breakfast spread was generous, and there's a hot spring bath available. It was very convenient to have our luggage transported directly to the parking lot. The staff were all very welcoming and enthusiastic.

This is our second stay at Gubei Zhiguang. Since we were traveling with our whole family, including children and elderly, we booked a family suite this time. It was quite expensive due to the New Year's Day holiday, but overall, the stay was good. The room's location wasn't far from the elevator, which was very convenient, and we didn't experience long queues. The breakfast was as abundant as ever. It was a rather satisfying stay. Small suggestions: The ball pit in the children's play area was a bit dirty. Given that it's on the first floor and very close to the swimming pool, it's quite humid there. I suggest more frequent cleaning and disinfection. It was New Year's Day, and I understand the staff were very busy, but I still hope the front desk staff can make eye contact when answering tourist questions to show respect. Our room rate included tickets to the Water Town. If the scenic area is free, perhaps some other experience vouchers or cable car discounts could be offered instead.
