Duan’s Quadrangle Inn Reviews

A Chinese style courtyard hotel modernised to great standards comparable to excellent hotel chain. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Checkin is done at the tourist Center. You could also purchase the Gubei water town entrance ticket at the same time at half price. Staff will give clear instructions on the process. There’s a connecting bus which will bring you to a stop near the hotel. The hotel is right outside the Simatai Great Wall ticketing counter. There’s a in house restaurant with excellent hot pot dinner. Great comfortable stay for 2 nights at Gubeikou.

Location very good.

Duan’s Quadrangle Inn is perfectly located. Within a stone’s throw away, not only is there the ticket office for boat tours and the Simatai Great Wall, you’ll find the entrance to Simatai is right in front of you; the boat tour starts from the dock about 5 metres from the office. You must try Duan’s hot springs (indoor and outdoor) and sauna for a relaxing experience. They provide towels and flippers/sliders, and lockers in the changing room. The morning breakfast buffet was a convenient way to start our day! There were continental as well as Chinese food and drinks. As the restaurant is located on the first floor, we sat in the terrace, overlooking the lake. The staff are polite and helpful. They have a mini shop outside the hot springs section if you forget to bring your waterproof phone holder. Overall, we’ve had a lovely time staying at Duan’s and we would not hesitate to stay again! Enjoy your trip!

Great simple inn that was suitable for us as a couple. Not that big but comfortable enough. Location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit the Simatai section of the Great Wall. The inn is only few steps from the entrance to the cable-car that takes you up to the Great Wall. Room had heater to keep us warm in the night and hot water showers. Simple breakfast selection with a mix of western and chinese options and overall tasted good. While I didn't get to try out their in-house hot spring bath, it's good to know they have that facility for the guest. Staff were friendly and helpful (as much as they could with the language barrier) and went about their work quietly. All in all, a great accommodation for a simple overnight stay. Also good that for guests staying inside the Gubei Water Town, there is complimentary shuttle bus service from the main car park to the in/hotel and also within the town. Including transporting your luggage to your inn / hotel.

I like the location where located next to Great Wall entrance ticket booth. Hot spring is available inside the hotel and quality is good. The hotel has impressive styling of traditional Chinese. Breakfast was okay, too.

Relatively big inn with nice indoor and outdoor hot springs. Nicely finished room deco and facilities. Near the Simatai Lift Station and entrance to the Great Wall at Simatai but away from the Sun & Moon square where most activities take place. But you can take the free shuttle bus there. Breakfast was nice.

Hotel is clean and beautiful traditional looks. Tasty breakfast. Nice hot spring.

Located right at the foothill of the entrance of the Simatai Great Wall, this hotel offers the perfect stay for people looking for an affordable place to spend the night. The hot spring although is within the hotel premises, but is also available to people not staying at the hotel. This however proved to be more crowded. Otherwise, it's a perfect quaint stay.

The hotel located at the end of the village. its very near to The Great Wall Simatai. overall good location & quiet place.

If your purpose was Sumatai, like me, this is the right place to stay. It's right at the entrance of the Great Wall. The breakfast included was beautiful, and the service was intensive. It was the last day of the journey. I needed a ride to the PEK airport, and I left this problem unsolved until I checked in with a lady who communicates in English. I ask her to help book and volunteer to get a car. And she was able to arrange one. She also arranged time for me to ensure I arrived at the airport on time. She checked me from time to time on the road, making sure I was in the right direction. Thank you so much Zhu Jiarui. My journey ended with a lovely and memorable.

It’s a perfect place to stay…it’s right across the entrance to The Great Wall Simatai Section, the staff was knowledgeable, our rooms were clean, they have the hot springs. Gubei Watertown is like “Disneyland” like environment but with a very good neighborhood feel/down to earth…to where everything is in its perfect place from the shops, hotels, walk ways, the plants, the way the buildings looked, good restaurants, the landscapes and just how everything makes one feels in Gubei Watertown is fantastic! We will definitely stay here again!

Beds are incredible bad, noisy aircon generators, staff cannot speak English at all - I recommend not to go there.

Comfortable stay Very nice view hot spring

Good stat, near cable car
