4-Star Hotels in Hebei, China

On my way back to Beijing, I passed through Thaiwoo and decided to stay a night. Due to sleep considerations, I chose the Nanshanli Hotel, which is located further inside the scenic area. It was indeed very quiet at night, allowing for a good night's sleep. The room came with a private balcony offering a pleasant mountain view, which was lovely. The room package included breakfast, buffet dinner, afternoon tea, and a circus show. Breakfast was quite crowded on weekends, so I recommend going early or towards the end. The buffet dinner had a good variety of dishes, and I suggest going earlier if possible for better taste. Afternoon tea consisted of four snacks and two cups of Gaiwan tea, which was decent. I didn't get to see the circus show due to time constraints, but I think children would enjoy it. It happened to be a weekend, so there were a lot of people. The environment was great, and I plan to visit again during the off-peak season if I get the chance. The air at night was incredibly fresh and cool.

The Hilton Garden Inn Chengde Summer Palace is perfectly located. It's a ten-minute walk to the Summer Palace, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms are clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and there's a gym and self-service laundry room. The hotel is a converted building, so the rooms are a bit small, there are few elevators, and street-facing rooms can be noisy. There's no executive lounge or in-room mini-fridge, and parking can be tight during peak season. It's ideal for travelers primarily visiting the Summer Palace and prioritizing convenience.

This time I came during the start of the seafood season, but it wasn't peak season yet, so there were far fewer people. The lower floors were cheaper, while the higher-floor sea view rooms were more expensive. Standard rooms were affordable, but those with family-friendly tents or designs cost more. Currently, the first and second canteens are not open, but they will be during peak season. It's less than a ten-minute walk to the beach. Inside the resort, there are individually-owned electric vehicles available for one, two, three, or four people, with different models. The price is a bit high at 69 yuan per hour. However, these are not affiliated with the hotel, so if there are any issues or disputes, the hotel will not intervene. The hotel's front desk and housekeeping staff were very professional; they immediately provided room service even when called late at night. Many thanks!

Traveling solo, I chose The Landy Hotel, and it perfectly matched my aesthetic. The overall design features a simple, natural wood style with no excessive decoration. The room layout felt relaxed and comfortable, and the floor-to-ceiling window framed the garden view like a painting. The outdoor garden is meticulously maintained, with plants thoughtfully arranged and winding paths that make for a wonderfully quiet stroll, far from the hustle and bustle. The room was clean and tidy, the amenities felt high-quality, and the staff were very friendly. I felt incredibly peaceful staying here all day – it’s a great place to unwind and recharge alone. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Aranya.

I stayed here with my parents and my dog. The front desk contacted me in advance and added me on WeChat, sending the address beforehand, which was very helpful. A big thank you to Xiao Xu! We arrived on Saturday afternoon and were able to check in a bit early, which was very considerate of them. My dog was treated wonderfully throughout our stay, and the atmosphere was great. The hotel has a large lawn and a gentle slope behind it, filled with flowers. Sitting on the balcony, soaking up the sun, and looking out at the blue sky, green landscape, and flowers really gave us a vacation feel. The location is a bit far from Cable Car No. 4. You need to take a shuttle bus, but dogs aren't allowed on it, so we had to walk. It wasn't too far though, about an 8-minute walk. The entrance to the underground parking garage is quite narrow, but it's spacious once you're inside. Too many people park on the street, making it very crowded. I think if you're staying here, it's best to park underground to make it easier for others to get in and out.

During the past few days in Zhangjiakou, the most unforgettable thing is not the passion of the track, but the emotion brought by the front desk. My family sent a box of sports drinks before I left. I made sure to make sure it was delivered on the day of the game. The result was that I, a road ******, filled in the wrong district address. The courier was sorting from the south of the city to a novice post office in the north of the city. Just after the race ended at 4 p.m., the logistics information showed that ”the post office is already at the post office,” but we had to leave for the next city at 5 p.m, and looked at the postoffice address 10 kilometers away on the map, stamping our feet in a hurry. When she heard this, Ms. Park comforted me by saying, ”Don't worry, I'll find a way,” grabbing the keys to her electric car and running out. She returned 20 minutes later, sweating and panting, saying, ”The sorting officers had the wrong zoning area. I went halfway through the warehouse with them to find it!” She thought she could get it now, but she frowned again and said, ”The box is too big to fit in the electric car basket. I'm afraid it will be broken on the road. I'll run around and pack it in the trunk again!” Before I could react, she turned and rushed down the stairs again - the second time she saw her, she had a sweat scarf on her arm, With her hands tightly wrapped around the trunk, even her work shirt was soaked with sweat, but she smiled and said, ”I just borrowed a shock absorber from the post office, and none of the drinks damaged.” When she tore open the packaging, she also purposely put a note on the trunk: ”Remember to replenish electrolytes after the game!” At that moment, I suddenly felt that although the wind of Zhangjiakou was cool with the grassland, but the box of drinks and the smile of my little sister, the trophy of the race course was more heart-warming. When I met such a service in a strange city, I really wanted to share the warmth with everyone! She not only helped us to get the express, but also let me feel the ”heart for heart” service temperature. Next time I come to Zhangjiakou, I will definitely choose this hotel full of human touch.

My husband and I stayed in a mountain view king room. The room was spacious with a sofa, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning green mountain views. The bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent. The bathroom was also spacious with a separate wet and dry area. The service was top-notch and heartwarming. We received complimentary round-trip cable car tickets. Breakfast was plentiful. There was ample parking, and it was free upon checkout by scanning a QR code. During the day, we took the cable car up to the 2160 meadow and visited the 'earphone sculpture' on the mountainside. Pine forest hikes and sledding were all nearby. In the evening, there were illuminated cabins, folk music in the square, and craft beer with BBQ. The hotel has its own restaurant where you can order food, and hotel guests get a discount. We highly recommend 'Taiwu Night' for the iron flower fireworks, bonfire, and electronic music – it's just a few minutes' walk away. We enjoyed the mountain views during the day and the lights at night. It's a great place to escape the summer heat.

The room was spacious, easily accommodating our family of four, including elderly parents and a child, with its separate bedroom and living area. It even had a kitchen with a washing machine and dryer, and a large refrigerator, just like at home, which was perfect for storing food, and keeping drinks and snacks chilled or frozen in summer. The hotel is very close to the town center, practically right downstairs. Just a few steps away are the dining and commercial streets. It's close to KFC, and there are also many Chinese restaurants and food trucks, with all sorts of entertainment options concentrated here. The best part was the hotel's hot springs, with multiple indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor ones felt really pleasant and not stuffy. They lit up at 7 PM, creating a lovely ambiance. It was also very convenient to access the hot springs directly from the hotel corridor. The hotel breakfast was predominantly Chinese, and quite filling.

Hygiene: Very clean, tidied up promptly every day. Environment: Super nice! I booked in advance and got a sea-view room. I could watch the sunrise and sunset perfectly in the morning and evening. Service: Compared to other places, the service is absolutely fantastic! The front desk lady was very helpful. After checking in, you can add her on WeChat, and if you need anything, just say the word and it'll be delivered quickly. I highly recommend everyone to come here!

I stayed in room 2404 on the 24th floor, and the ocean view from the window was amazing. Since I was traveling with my furry friend, this hotel offered excellent value for money! They provide disposable bath towels and hand towels, and three bottles of water are replenished daily. Anything we needed, we just called the front desk, and they were always happy to help. It was a very comfortable stay, mainly for a 'staycation' where I could take my pet for walks on the beach in the mornings and evenings. A truly comfortable hotel, highly recommended!
