Beijing Gubei XingKong Villa

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.

First of all, the caring services provided by the lady and her staff were wonderful. They contacted us the day before we arrived and provided many tips and information. When we arrived at the bus station, they provided pick-up and also free taxi service to the local restaurants. The accommodation is modern and clean, you can also cook which is an added bonus. However, there are plenty of good restaurants around outside of the theme park. The views from the flats are stunning. Wish I could upload some pictures. I can definitely recommend it. 5 stars for sure.

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

We had a 1 day trip to Gubei Watertown. We actually booked another hotel unfortunately there were some trouble happened so we found this hotel through Tripcom Customer Support. The owner is really kind and accommodating. He picked us up and also sent us to the parking lot where we parked our car. It took few minutes from the place we stayed in. If ever you go to Gubei Watertown I highly recommend this accommodation.
