Hot Spring Hotels in Beijing

The room was incredibly clean! Not a speck of dust even in the corners, which was a huge plus for someone with allergies like me. The room isn't huge but it's perfectly adequate, and the private hot spring tub was just amazing! It filled up super quickly. Soaking in the tub at night after it rained, and even seeing a rainbow – it was just so relaxing. The guesthouse service was absolutely fantastic! They proactively explained how the tub worked and, seeing we had a child, specifically warned us that the water temperature was over 40℃ and to make sure the little one was acclimated before getting in. They also offered an extra single duvet for our family of three, and the bedding was super comfortable! Their home-style cooking was delicious too! I especially loved the shredded potatoes; they tasted just like homemade. The semi-buffet breakfast was great and very filling. I really enjoyed the jasmine tea in the room, and the owner even shared some of their own premium tea leaves with us, which was a wonderful touch! I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Overall, the experience was great! The staff were all very enthusiastic and the hygiene was excellent. There were plenty of bath towels and slippers. Today, before checking out, the crowd was significantly smaller, and my baby had a fantastic time in the children's pool. There are a few areas I think could be improved: * The breakfast could be a bit more varied. * The cakes and desserts at LongRitz for dinner were a bit underwhelming. They tasted like they'd been defrosted for a long time, were very watery, and lacked flavor. * It would be great if the children's pool could be expanded a bit. With the current facilities, a two-year-old gets bored after about an hour. Overall, I would still come back if I have the chance. The Ctrip price was very reasonable.

1. The friendly service attitude of the hotel staff was the first thing I appreciated most. 2. The architectural style of the hotel's courtyard (siheyuan) was a highlight I had to discover myself, rather than it being prominently advertised by the hotel. This was a bit of a shame, but I truly loved the traditional Beijing siheyuan feel. 3. The hotel is located in the most secluded corner of the Water Town area, offering a quiet and serene environment, which I really liked. 4. Although the hotel is quite a distance from the park entrance and the bustling Sun and Moon Island, the electric shuttle service provided by the park is excellent. This made it very convenient to return to the hotel to rest or to depart from the hotel to explore various scenic spots. 5. The breakfast was simple but offered a good variety, including vegetables and meat, both Chinese and Western options, three types of fruit, and American coffee from a bean-to-cup machine. Food items were replenished continuously, and the dining environment was comfortable and cozy. 6. The hotel is situated right next to the entrance of Simatai Great Wall, the park's main attraction, making it very convenient to return to the hotel after an evening tour. 7. It would be even better if hotel guests received more discounts for visiting attractions or dining at restaurants, especially if there were greater specials for dining at the hotel itself. This would definitely encourage more in-house guests to dine there. 8. A special thank you to the lady at the front desk for her incredibly thoughtful and detailed service on our check-out day. She helped us with our luggage and arranged for the shuttle to take us to the first parking lot. My wife and I were very touched by her warm service.

Pros: 1. The hotel is conveniently located near the entrance to Simatai Great Wall. It's easy to access the Wall for hiking, and you can also enjoy views of it from the second floor of the room. The Wall is visible in the distance from the window, making it a secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle. 2. The hotel offers excellent service. Housekeeping is prompt, and the staff are attentive and welcoming. 3. The duplex suite A is very spacious, perfect for families with elderly members and children. Kids, especially, will love rolling and crawling on the tatami mat. 4. Slippers and bath towels are replaced daily, and complimentary fruit is provided every day. 5. After checking out, I left my headphones in the room. The hotel proactively contacted me and arranged for them to be couriered to me, which I truly appreciate. Cons: 1. The room is very inconvenient for elderly guests with mobility issues. The main bed is on the second floor, making it difficult for them to go up and down. The first floor has a tatami mat, which makes it hard for elderly guests to get up and lie down. If they need to get up at night, they would definitely need assistance. 2. While the room is large, whether the Japanese wabi-sabi style truly suits Chinese guests, especially for a hotel charging 5,000 yuan per night, is a question that needs consideration. The wabi-sabi aesthetic often translates to very sparse furnishings: no comfortable sofas, no bedside tables, no bedside lamps, and certainly no central control panel for all lights and appliances. The tatami mat essentially means sleeping on the floor with a low table, making it very inconvenient and challenging to get up, sit down, or place and retrieve items, which clashes with Chinese living habits. 3. The private hot spring bath in the room only has one switch for hot water, making it impossible to adjust the temperature. Its size is also awkward; it's fine for one person, but feels cramped for two. For a room type designed for six people, such a small bath is quite inconvenient. Furthermore, the inner wall of the bath is made of solid wood, raising concerns about hygiene. 4. The smart toilet was broken and remained unrepaired even after reporting it. 5. The two bedrooms on the second floor, designed to accommodate at least four people, share a single small bathroom, which is a very impractical design. Additionally, the entire Gubei Water Town is not suitable for elderly visitors with mobility issues, especially those in wheelchairs. The flagstone paths are very uneven, and there are many steps, which would make a wheelchair ride extremely bumpy and uncomfortable.

Formerly the Xinhualua, this property has now been acquired by Howard Johnson under the Wyndham umbrella, and the service quality has seen a dramatic improvement. As someone who loves visiting hot springs around Beijing, I’ve discovered another hidden gem. The European-style architecture comes with high maintenance costs, but it is so much better kept compared to the Tianjin Evergrande Hotel Hot Spring that I used to frequent (which has since fallen into disrepair). The hotel offers great value for money, the buffet is worth the price, and the staff training is top-notch. I have to say, international hotel groups are just in a different league when it comes to personnel training! The only minor drawback is that the lighting in the hotel corridors is a bit too dim, making the already massive hallways feel somewhat unwelcoming.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency World Garden with our child during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I expected it to be chaotic with so many people, but the experience far exceeded my expectations! The front desk handled check-in efficiently, and even during peak hours, the staff calmly directed guests, maintaining order amidst the crowd – making us feel at ease the moment we walked in. The swimming pool wasn't even crowded during the holiday, and they have a shallow pool for toddlers, which was great. It's also very close to Qibabu Paradise, just a short walk away. The overall service was warm and considerate, lively yet orderly, making it very family-friendly for those with young children. We'll definitely choose this place again for our next holiday and highly recommend it to all families traveling with kids!

COMMUNE BY THE GREAT WALL , IN THE UNBOUND COLLECTION BY HYATT has been famous for a long time. This time, having finally had the chance to visit the Great Wall during Beijing's most beautiful autumn, I booked COMMUNE BY THE GREAT WALL , IN THE UNBOUND COLLECTION BY HYATT right away. As soon as I entered the main gate, it felt exceptionally private, quiet, and very well-managed. Although some facilities are currently undergoing renovation and maintenance, it didn't affect the overall stay experience. I was assigned Red House No. 4, which has a total of 4 guest rooms, and 3 families checked in that day. Everyone shares public areas such as the terrace, living room, kitchen, and a small sitting room, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are completely independent. Although it was a bit different from what I expected, fortunately the other guests were quite considerate, and overall there wasn't much mutual disturbance. The bed linens, bathroom, and hot water in the room were all very good. The furniture is a bit dated, and there are quite a few bugs in the mountains, but none of these really had much of an impact. I was extremely satisfied during my stay, especially with our butler, Chen Yi, whose WeChat communication was prompt and thorough. After we left, the hotel housekeeping found a left-behind item during cleaning, proactively contacted me, and helped me mail it via courier. Thank you so much 🙏

This was my first time visiting Xiaotangshan. My partner wanted a room with both public and private hot springs, so we chose this place. The room type had a large outdoor area, while the indoor area was small, but it had everything we needed. The lights worked well, and there was even an electric blanket on the bed. On the day of check-in, we were assigned a dedicated butler. I think we were a bit demanding, needing the pool cleaned again and picking up takeout, but the butler, Jia Ran, and the other staff members all helped us solve our problems. Highly recommended! The breakfast included in the room exceeded our expectations, offering both Chinese and Western options, and it was delicious. The public areas are worth experiencing; there's a functional hot spring and a swimming area, offering a different experience from the private hot springs – quite nice. As a long-established hot spring resort in Beijing, Jiuhua Hot Spring didn't feel outdated at all during my first visit. On the contrary, many facilities were quite new. The one-on-one butler service was also a pleasant surprise; messages in the group were replied to almost instantly, ensuring we weren't delayed. Special praise goes to concierge Leo; we ordered two takeout meals, which arrived one after the other, and he delivered them one by one, even tagging me in the group chat to let me pick them up instead of leaving them on the ground for me to retrieve. This showed his attentiveness and responsibility, a big thumbs up. Overall, the hot springs here are exceptional, and the service is impeccable. It's no exaggeration to say it surpasses some star-rated hotels. I would definitely consider returning, and I wish them continued success.

The Yanqing Olympic Village Resort Hotel, nestled in the Haituo Mountain Valley, offers a refreshingly cool climate that's never stuffy. At night, you can enjoy a starry sky rarely seen in the city. The front desk staff are incredibly responsible and diligently handled all my requests. The housekeeping department is also excellent, meticulously cleaning the rooms every day. The hotel also has a swimming pool with great water quality. With its high greenery coverage, the air is fantastic, making it a great hotel for a summer escape.

The room is very spacious, and the bathroom area is quite large, perfect for a family. There's plenty of room for dining and playing together. The height of the chairs and tables is a bit mismatched; you sink in quite a bit when you sit down. The bunk beds were a hit with the kids. Plus, there's a private indoor hot spring in the room, which is free and quite nice. The hotel breakfast is pretty average, with the variety and taste on par with a 3-star hotel in the city center. The hot spring is connected to the hotel, and you can re-enter until noon the next day by registering your room number. However, you do need to exchange your entry wristband.
