Beijing Gubei XingKong Villa

The location is not the one shown on the map, and the apartments are quite far from the city for those without a car. However, they arranged free transportation any time we wanted to get to and from the city. We also requested an early breakfast, which they forgot, but they refunded us the cost. The cleanliness of both the apartment and the building leaves much to be desired, but it does offer a beautiful view of the great wall.

This is a good budget option if you want to stay overnight near Gubei Watertown - but there are serious limitations. It was very confusing and quite stressful when we first arrived at the location provided - we couldn’t find the address given, but a local lady was very helpful and called the owners/managers for us and then a driver came to collect us. The address given is a meeting point, not the location of where you are actually staying. It was as we were driven to the 2 apartments (not rooms in an individual villa) that I realised we were not staying in or right at the Watertown as I thought we were. It was a 5-10 minute drive away. To be clear the managers were very friendly and always available on WeChat and the driver took us to and from the Watertown whenever we liked so that was fine - but it means you have to pay entry every time you enter the Watertown - which is expensive - so just take that cost into account. There also didn’t seem to be anywhere to eat at the apartment complex either but perhaps we couldn’t find it (it was a huge complex) so I recommend you eat before you go or take (especially breakfast) food with you. I booked two rooms with a view. One room had a GREAT view of the Great wall (photo included) and the other looked at nondescript trees and grass the other direction. Mainly I went on this special trip with my older parents to Gubei so it was disappointing that we weren’t really staying together in a villa - we were in a giant apartment building on separate floors.

I am very satisfied with the room quality and service at this hotel. The staff is friendly, the room is clean, and well-equipped. However, the hotel's location is not convenient, as it's quite far from the city center and main tourist attractions. The hotel staff also offers a car shuttle service, which somewhat compensates for the inconvenient location. I will definitely return and use the services of this hotel again.

the house is clean and give a cozy atmosphere. boss is so polite they take us to the house and even give a ride to back. Btw bed mattress is thin but yet so comfy. I love it. best reccomend

The information and location of this hotel is totally deceptive. They claim to be located next to the Watertown but when you get to the location they throw you into a shuttle and drive you first about 5kilometers away in the middle of nowhere. So every time you need to go to the Watertown you need to summon them so they can pick you up with the shuttle bus

薇薇團隊的服務是棒棒的！別墅位置也好，能看到長城，早餐不錯，就是住房衞生有較大空間改善：微波爐很臟，浴簾下部分也全黃了😅。第一天的接送車（應該是臨時的）有點臭，之後開車接送的大姐也有點混亂，一次接電話後説睡著了，讓我們在烈日下曬了15分鐘；另一次是早了一個小時過來，跟在樓下散步的外子説在等我們，搞得我們有點懵…….送物資的阿姨特別可愛熱情，特別感謝女細心體貼的薇薇給我們安排一切🙏 建議遊司馬台長城和古北水鎮的在長城住一個晚上，非常值得！2個晚上則有點多
