Mountain View Hotels in Beijing

From the moment we arrived, the staff came out to greet us in such a friendly and welcoming manner. During check-in they added us to a WeChat group and provided lots of useful information to help make our stay enjoyable, including nearby restaurants and local attractions. We could speak enough Chinese to get by, but even if you only speak English it would still be manageable as one of the staff members speaks some English. If needed, using a translation app was never a problem because all of the staff were patient, friendly, and always willing to help. One thing that really stood out was that they disinfected the hot spring right in front of us before use, which was a really nice touch and made us feel reassured that everything was clean. The entire room was spotless, including the sauna room, shower and bathroom. They also provided free TV services for our child, which was great for relaxing in the evening. I went to get some beers from the front desk and they insisted we didn’t need to pay. Later on, there was free BBQ with complimentary food and drinks, which we were not expecting at all. The staff were amazing throughout the stay. They even helped look after our child while we were eating, and brought breakfast directly to our door when requested. Breakfast itself was excellent with a good variety of food. The only small thing was there wasn’t any juice available, but honestly it was such a minor issue that I completely forgot about it afterwards. The 阿姨 was incredibly warm and friendly, just a genuinely lovely person, along with the owners and the rest of the staff. Everyone made us feel truly looked after. This is honestly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It’s also in a fantastic location — only around a 15-minute walk downhill to a quieter section of the Great Wall, and about a 20-minute taxi ride to Badaling Great Wall. When we left, they gave us dates as a way to say thank you for staying at their hotel and to welcome us back again in the future. I would highly recommend staying here and would happily return again.

The room is spacious and bright, and the window is picturesque. The room of the Yongding Tower can be seen, which is refreshing. The sofa is simple and generous, and friends do not lose face when visiting. Attentive service, worthy of praise. 👍

Highly, highly recommended!!! Our group of four climbed Dongling Mountain this morning, and the scenery was so beautiful we didn't want to go back to Beijing. On a whim, we wanted to find a hot spring hotel nearby where we could relax and soak, and we found this one. The scenery was absolutely stunning!!! The entire village has excellent red-themed architecture and a very positive atmosphere. Even the small village museum's 3D video was quite good, creating a great ambiance, and in the morning, you could see the iconic red star right outside your window!! And the best part? The hot spring was incredibly relaxing! Enjoying a barbecue in the misty mountains, listening to the rain while soaking in the hot spring… friends, it was indescribably comfortable!! The owner and the manager were very kind, providing us with free breakfast. After breakfast, we immediately bought two jars of the same fermented bean curd online—it was so delicious, hahaha! In short, a perfect recommendation, we will definitely go again!!!

Stayed for 2 nights in Oct 2024, planned for 1 night to visit around the town itself and another night for the Simatai Great Wall. 1. Location - Inn is located within Gubei Watertown and it is necessary to go through the watertown to visit the Simatai Great Wall. By booking an accommodation within the town gives you discounted entrance price into the town and since we planned to visit the great wall and explore the town itself we have decided to stay for 2 nights (also partly the cost and time to travel there from Beijing). Inn is located near the main square where some performances are held and near a shuttle service stop (free shuttle services within town if you’re staying in an accommodation within town. Overall a good location within town. 2. Room - Booked a family room for 4 (2 single beds in each level). Room is mostly made of wood hence its not really a modern feel and its not really sound-proof which the staff has notified in advance. Room is spacious and bathroom is big. Stairs that goes up to the 2nd level is stable but can be a little steep for seniors. Overall the room is decent. It comes with tomatoes, peanuts and tea as welcome gift. 3. Luggage - There’s a luggage service whereby you can arrange for your luggage to be transported to your hotel from entrance, and from hotel back to entrance. This is definitely needed as the ground in the watertown is not a smooth surface and can be hard to carry your luggages around. 4. Services & breakfast - Staff’s services is really good and efficient! Breakfast is simple but has good variety. There’s the buffet portion which consists of small dishes for porridge, bread, bun, drinks etc. And there’s an alacarte portion where you need to order in advance the night before such as bacon, egg, sausages, noodles etc. i think its a good initiative to avoid wastage. Overall a very good stay and would recommend if you are visiting Gubei Watertown and would like to stay in a more traditional feel.

We had the most amazing stay! The hotel went above and beyond! He helped us order food and translate made sure we had everything we needed when we left to Explore. We were checking out earlier than when he makes the breakfast and asked what time he would have it ready so we were fed. so he had it ready at 6:30 in the morning. we’ve never had a hotel yes beyond in every detail! we will recommend this hotel to everyone we know. they even welcomed us with fruit and dessert, plates and yummy drinks. and every night gave us more amazing drinks before bed.

The room was spacious and clean, and the heating was excellent. The bath towels even came in plastic packaging, showing great attention to hygiene. My kids absolutely loved the in-room play facilities, and the children's play area at the front desk was also fantastic. The front desk staff, especially the ladies, were very enthusiastic and had a great attitude. Highly recommend for family trips! ⌯oᴗo⌯

Honestly, everything was impeccable, from the value for money and pre-arrival communication to the actual stay. However, I have to mention the staff at the Kids' Club – they were quite something. My package included the Spring Kite Flying activity, and I asked a staff member if I could pay extra to switch to the pottery workshop. She said yes, it would be an additional 100 RMB. So I called my child over from outside, and we were just about to start when another staff member, a heavier-set woman in a white t-shirt, quickly interjected, saying we couldn't. When I asked why not, she replied with a very dismissive look, ”The activities we put in packages are the ones nobody wants to do.” I didn't want to argue with her, so I went to the front desk in the main lobby. After the front desk called to inquire, they said we could indeed pay extra for pottery. But by then, I'd completely lost interest. It just felt like a lack of consistent service, which was really disappointing. I hope this gets some attention, because for a hotel with such a great environment, I think it's one of a kind in Beijing. It would be a shame to spoil the whole experience because of one bad apple.

The moment I pushed open the door, the first thing that caught my eye was the expansive space. The floor-to-ceiling windows framed the entire mountain view like a moving painting. The sofa, lounge area, and dressing table were all comfortably laid out, and even with my suitcase fully open and spread out, it didn't feel crowded. I couldn't help but sink into the soft cushions and completely relax. Walking to the hot spring tub on the terrace, the water was so clear I could see the pebbles on the bottom, even the petals floating on the surface were perfectly visible. Soaking in the warm water, with the mountain breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees, it was so comfortable I didn't want to get out. Our service butler, Kira, who was in touch with us throughout, was truly heartwarming. She asked about our dietary preferences in advance, and anything we needed was delivered very quickly. Her sense of discretion was just right – not overly intrusive, yet thoughtful in every detail. This short trip was full of pleasant surprises at every turn.

Hygiene: My recent visit to Lanting Hot Spring Hotel coincided with their deep cleaning, and seeing their meticulous work really put guests at ease. Environment: The hotel's lush environment is incredibly pleasant. Service: The staff helped with luggage and guided me on purchasing Mutianyu Great Wall tickets, explaining everything in detail. It truly showed me what excellent service is all about. Their restaurant also serves exceptionally delicious food, highly recommended! Afternoon Tea: High quality.

Initially, a little hard to find as the location on trip.com map is inaccurate, but locals were very helpful in guiding me to the right building upon arrival Very attentive, helpful host - great value for money, would recommend for hikers after a long day at Jinshanling Nice places to eat in the town, and great bathroom and kitchen facilities included
