Hotels near Shangdianzi

Here's a concise English review: "The villa is super cozy and well-decorated—spacious rooms, nice views, and pet-friendly! Perfect stay near Gubei Water Town. Highly recommend

The quality of accommodation was excellent with spacious rooms and plenty of space. So close to the main entrance to Jinshanling Great Wall meant seeing sunrise from the wall was convenient. Staff helpful and an amazing breakfast provided.

The host family will do anything to make your stay perfect. They will take you up on a hike to the Great Wall (actual professional guide) as well as they will cook an amazing, home style Chinese dinner with the warmth of a family gathering. You can join the hosts for a Karaoke night, if you feel in the mood.

Lovely layout, super spacious and modern

Excellent organisation by the host ( who has a good english) to have the most wonderful Great Wall experience. He did everything for us ( drives, tickets, drop us for the sunrise, uncrowded place).

Great little hostel, very helpful and caring owner!

The entire process from booking to check-in went very smoothly. The landlord is very good. Contact the arrival time in advance and send a special car to pick up the station

We were extremely happy with our decision to stay at this lovely family-run accommodation. The hosts were exceptionally kind and helpful. We were welcomed with warm smiles and a basket of fresh fruit, and on the day of our departure—when we were running a little late—they even offered us a free ride to the bus station. Such genuine kindness truly made our stay special. Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, cozy, and perfect for a good night’s sleep. The beds were very sturdy and comfortable. The whole place has a peaceful family-home atmosphere, and it’s clear that the owners take great pride in keeping everything clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The property is set in a quiet little village with a couple of nice family-run restaurants just a short walk away. It’s about a 20-minute walk to Beijing Wtown and the bus station along a quiet paved path by the river. The walk is lovely, with beautiful nature views, and there’s even a small riverside park with towers and sculptures that light up beautifully in the evenings—great for photos. If you prefer not to walk, there are plenty of Didi drivers available at any time, and the ride to the accommodation costs only 10–14 RMB. For travelers coming from Beijing, I highly recommend taking the direct bus, which costs 48 RMB per person and takes around two hours to reach the Water Town Bus Station (cash only). The bus leaves from Dongzhimen Outer Bus Station (东直门外) at 09:00 and 13:00, and returns from Water Town at 12:00 and 17:00. Just wait beside the brown signboard that lists all departure times. Beijing Wtown itself is absolutely stunning—full of canals, traditional architecture, small cafés, restaurants, and even boat rides that glide through the waterways, making the whole place feel like a fairytale village. In the evening, when the lights come on, the scenery becomes truly magical. At 20:40 there is a drone show with the illuminated Great Wall in the background, which is unforgettable.

Easiest recommendation I've ever made. This family owned Inn is just perfect to me. The hosts are extremely caring and generous, the food is delicious, the Inn is located in a quiet area, very close to the Great Wall. You truly feel taken care of with tasty home made dishes, car transportation to places you wish to visit, and a genuinely warm-hearted owner (and his lovely son we had the chance to meet as well). Comfort is good, everything is clean, and the rooms are spacious. Great experience, we really felt at home and we will never forget our stay here !
