Yanmen Inn

The room was pretty clean. We weren’t able to locate the hotel at first because it’s only in Chinese at the front door. No complaint about the room. However, we had ordered breakfast since check in, but they did not provide as we ordered. We only had 2 mains for the group of 4 people. It’s difficult to communicate since non speak Chinese so we just had the little food from the courtesy line.

Yanmen Inn in Gubei Water Town was a fantastic place to stay! The highlight was the private balcony with stunning views of the river, mountains, and the Great Wall—a sight I’ll never forget. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches, like bowls of delicious peanuts and cherry tomatoes left by housekeeping for late-night snacks. Even the tap water here was amazing—pure and refreshing. The gentleman who checked us in was very kind and helpful, making us feel right at home. While it was tricky to navigate to the hotel after entering the park due to a lack of prior instructions (and not speaking the language), we eventually found our way to a shuttle, and our luggage was already waiting for us when we arrived. I highly recommend Yanmen Inn for its comfort, breathtaking views, and warm hospitality. It’s a gem in the heart of Gubei Water Town!

Our 1st visit to the water town, we wanted to experience 民俗 which we enjoyed at 雁门客栈. The staff were friendly, and the room was clean. It's also near to the great wall. We had our dinner, and the portion is huge for 2. Of course, it was yummy too. The only downside was that the pillow was too soft for us to sleep.other that than, highly recommend staying with them

Beautiful place, perfect location. Hard to believe it's not actually a very old building. We loved this place, though the owner was a bit... reserved ...with us, we'll say. Perfect choice for wall access, and if you get the balcony, it's stunning!

Great location, very beautiful view at night. Staff was good, one can speak English and I so happy to see her.

Very helpful staff. Typical Chinese breakfast. Well heated room during cold night. Comfortable mattress and bedcover. Freshly made dinner plates.
