Ξενοδοχεία κοντά σε Yanqi Lake/Hongluo Temple area, Πεκίνο

The customer service lady was quite nice, but I do have some issues with the guesthouse: 1. Check-in time was 2 PM, but when we arrived, the room wasn't ready yet. We had to wait another half an hour for them to finish cleaning. 2. The pillows on the bed were too flat, and the bed itself was too soft, making it uncomfortable. 3. And this is the most important point: there's no need to stay overnight in this Chestnut Village. It's tiny, and even the 'mini waterfall stream' is artificial 😂. You can finish exploring and taking pictures in just an afternoon. Also, food is very expensive here; an ice cream costs 68. Although the restaurant is a bit pricey, the food itself is actually quite good. 4. There are a lot of people with dogs, and they tend to pee all over the restaurant. There's really no point in bringing kids here, as there are practically no facilities for children.

Pros: 1. The room is spacious, with two beds comfortably accommodating 4 people, plus a bunk bed. 2. The view is fantastic, offering an unobstructed panorama of the entire dam and Yanqi Lake. 3. There are plenty of toys for kids, which my children absolutely loved. They are also of good quality and include a star projector, a slide, and a small tent. 4. The location is excellent, making it convenient to explore the dam, and bicycle rentals are available. 5. The electronic amenities seem good, like the Bose speaker system, although I didn't get a chance to use it. Cons: 1. The details are far from what you'd expect from a five-star hotel. For instance, there's no non-slip mat in the shower area, nor any plastic non-slip slippers, making it very easy to slip. The toilet is old and crooked, which is frankly speechless. The shower also flooded into the main bathroom area. For a room meant for five people, there was only one tiny trash can that filled up quickly. 2. There's no room service. I could understand if it was busy, but when I went to the restaurant, it was mostly empty with only one or two tables occupied. 3. The complimentary water and drinks provided were also quite subpar.

The room was a bit dated. While the staff were quick to verbally acknowledge requests, actually getting items delivered was very slow, and they often forgot altogether. Initially, the room I entered had an odor. I went downstairs, and the front desk smoothly switched me to a new room that didn't smell. However, that night I discovered the duvet cover was dirty... I called a staff member who said there were no new duvets available, so they could only change the duvet cover. On the second morning, I asked for a disposable bathtub liner. It wasn't delivered all morning... When I asked the front desk, they said they were too busy and even questioned why I didn't call multiple times to ask. Apparently, it was my fault for not hounding them enough.

Staying here while driving, the hotel's parking is very convenient. Just remember to grab a parking ticket each time you leave to get free parking. The service is great, and bottled water is replenished promptly.

The suite was very spacious and well-equipped. Both the bedroom and the outer balcony faced the lake directly, offering beautiful views. It was incredibly relaxing just sitting on the balcony and zoning out. The room service was very thoughtful; I requested water several times because I was brewing tea, and it was always delivered quickly. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely choose this place again next time.

The hotel has a nice concept or safari theme but somewhat under delivered. The pictures were nice but I think these are old pictures as it definitely needs upkeep or we think due for renovation and cleanliness of the surrounding needs more manpower. Pool is questionable and not inviting. Plus side: Very close to the great wall you can literally walk about 1km away to the gate. And the nearby grocery is a cheap way to buy local gifts to bring home. However you are far from the main Beijing City as in more than 1 hour by taxi and 2 hours if you get caught in the rush hour of beijing cost which cost about US$20 one way. The room is clean, big and decent for the price but really needs repair and I really question the security of the door as it was no secondary lock. The hot water is plenty, aircon is nice, internet is ok, soap is great. Service: They are family run I think 3 or 4 people, they try to accommodate but unlike other hotels in China, they don't try to utilize tech to translate. I understand they are kinda old. They don't automatically make up the room even though we stayed for 3 nights. so our garbage filed up. But we are ok with it. They were waiting even though we arrived at 2am which we appreciated. And the iced coffee is nice. Bad: Food maybe it is not our preferred taste. It is definitely not a buffet and we only eat once. You have alternative restaurants across the street or in the Great Wall commercial area but it is expensive. So will we recommend it, maybe. Yes, if you want a quiet place to unwind and want to explore the great wall for more than a day. no, if you want to explore beijing, it is far from the city and conscious of cleanliness and upkeep.

I went to Yanqi Lake for a meeting. The hotel is close to the conference center. Although it is in the villa area, you can call a taxi to enter the community and park at the door of the hotel. It is convenient. Although the breakfast is simple, it can fill your stomach. It is still good for emergencies. Seeing that the price is similar, I booked a standard room with a larger space. In short, the price-performance ratio is good.

Breakfast is good! Clean and refreshing! Service is awesome 👍 come back next time

Planning a bike ride around Yanqi Lake for the May Day holiday, I was looking for a place to stay. The Kempinski was ridiculously overpriced, and I'm glad I didn't book it after seeing how chaotic and crowded it was, like a busy marketplace. I only found out the Aloft was a Marriott property after arriving. Check-in had a long queue, but there was staff guiding everyone, which was helpful. I was also glad I wasn't on a pet-friendly floor. The coconut chicken hotpot at the ground floor restaurant was delicious and affordable, perfect for one dinner – can't eat rainbow trout every night, right? A small detail at breakfast really stood out: when someone was leaving and asked for a takeout box for leftovers (saying it was a shame to waste food), the staff member took a box and lid from the cabinet. The lid accidentally fell on the floor, landing face down. Immediately, a gentleman in a suit nearby said to get a new one and tossed the fallen lid. This shows that the overall service training is excellent. The only downside was the poor soundproofing of the doors; you could clearly hear conversations in the hallway. They have a gym and a swimming pool. For kids, they've made the most of the limited space with well-designed play facilities. Another unique touch is the chemical equations painted on the walls. Highly recommended!

This is my second time staying at Jiadu. I like it as always. I can see the owner's care. The layout of the room, the design of the library and the small furnishings show that the owner is a very tasteful person. I also saw the yellowed Selected Works of Mao Zedong in it. There are surprises everywhere. This time, some small electronic devices were added to the room, and the details were still in place. The breakfast was still very delicately presented, meticulous and tasted great. I believe I will choose this place next time I come to Huairou.
