Jinshanling Great Wall Hotel Reviews

The hotel is close to Jinshanling Great Wall entrance so it's very convenient to stay one night and be able to see sunset and sunrise on the great Wall. Obviously there are not many connections with Beijing, just a bus running on weekends. The closest station is Gubeikou, about 30km away. They offered us a taxi but it was too expensive. Better to use didi app on your own. They have a restaurant inside the hotel so you can have lunch or dinner there. The room was comfortable and clean with all toiletries and a balcony.

The location of this hotel is excellent if you are wanting to do an early morning sunrise at Jingshanlin Great wall. This hotel is just right at the foot of the great wall entrance! From the time when we check in to check out, to the staff at the restaurant, they all provided excellent service, with a good smile, friendliness and willingly to help if you have any questions. They are very accommodating for our needs as well since we have a few of us that's vegetarian. The breakfast provided in the morning is excellent and very very fueling. Healthy too. If you want more of something that you like, they will bring it out again. We ate at the restaurant at night too, and the food was good. The room has all the amenities you need. Too bad the spa was not open when we're there (due to maintenance). Overall, excellent place to stay, right at the foot of the great wall. Jingshanlin Great wall is beautiful and one of the beautiful section of the great wall. Definitely worth a visit.

A fantastic hotel right at the Jinshanling park gate. This is the best Great Wall location I have been to out of 4. Much better than Bandaling and Simatai. Parts are unrestored and parts have been and you can choose to walk for kilometres with Simatai in the distance. Winter is a great time to visit. The staff in the hotel treated us like VIPs as there were few guests. The hotel restaurant is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Hotel is quite new and the rooms are lovely and comfortable. On the wall you are often the only one in the section.

The location is great as it is to the Great Wall, but the rooms need to be refurbished as the are quite rundown. Nettings can be put outside the window to prevent insects from crawling in from the gaps of the windows even if they are closed. Bathroom, toilet and washing sink could be better maintained. However the beds are comfortable. It is such as waste as the compound is really beautiful but the interior could not match its exterior beauty. Quality of food served at the restaurant could be better too.

I found this hotel when looking for a place to stay near the wonderful, photogenic Jinshanling for the Great Wall. I was surprised that they did not have their own website. Checking in was not the easiest thing to do as they were not fluent in English, but we got through it. Location is FANTASTIC. It is literally like 50 meters from the gate to the Great Wall. I had planned to go shoot the Wall for sunset and then return for sunrise - no problem from here. Sunset was around 7:30pm and sunrise at 4:45am. I was so excited that I had no trouble getting out of bed to hike up to the Wall. I was amazed and impressed at the room/villa they had me in. Very nice! OK, there are probably cheaper places to stay, but they are not as convenient nor as luxurious, that's for sure! I was able to use my ticket to enter the Wall area the next morning, but I did not even pass anyone to show my ticket to. Jinshanling is truly a photogenic section of the wall and this Hotel is photogenic and located exactly where you want it to be.

We chose this hotel for his proximity with the Great Wall entrance. The location is perfect for Sunset and Sunrise from the top of the wall. It was very clean and the people were very nice, but there were very few possibilities to eat for dinner and the breakfast options limited (especially for take out or early sunrise)

A nice hotel situated right next to the Jinshanling Great Wall entrance. Unbeatable in terms of location and presumably much better comfort compared to the surrounding bed & breakfast farmhouse stays. Reasonable comfort and hotel restaurant was surprisingly up to par. Would suggest to bring a pair of beach slippers to walk around the room as floor was quite dusty. The courtyard two or three bedroom suites are great for families.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, but had marks on the walls and mirrors and some mold on the wall of the shower. Location is excellent for hiking Jinshanling Great Wall, but there is very little else in the area except for a couple of restaurants and small shops. We stayed on a Monday & Tuesday night and there were very few guests staying at the hotel. If you are planning to only hike Jinshanling, a 1 night stay would make more sense. On our last night, we were woken up by a woman repeatedly screaming, stamping and banging doors on the floor above us. I called the hotel and went to the reception area to find a staff member to help, but no one was there. The hotel staff were very apologetic and sincere when I told them this the next morning and were patient when communicating with me through translation apps.

What a fab place. If you’re hiking for a few days on the Great Wall - it’s perfect!

The hotel is within walking distance to the Jingshanlin Great Wall. The compound of the upmarket hotel is big and the design is modern but the room is smaller than I would have expected. The quality of the food is not as good as compared to other same class of hotel, but given that it is at the outskirts of the city, may be I should not expect so much. Due to the location, it is rather hard to get a car online. End up we have to pay extra to get to the next city which is about an hour away.

I was travelling with my parents in their mid-sixties. The accommodation was very comfortable for them and myself. I stayed in the very beautiful loft, they stayed in the ground floor room. One of the reasons we’re close this hotel was for its convenient location. It truly was. There were great restaurants just down the street and it was very convenient to get to the major tourist destinations. The service was a slight let down. The team were very kind and friendly, but did not speak any English. The breakfast menu was not being served the mornings we stayed. I ordered a coffee from the menu but received a hot chocolate 10 mins later. When I asked why, they said they had out of milk. They were kind enough to offer a refund, but again this was a complicated experience. That being said, the team working there were very kind and it was clear they were trying hard. I would stay here again, but was sad that we couldn’t experience the amazing menu that they offer on the website.

Beautful hotel in phenomenonal location

Great location at the gate to Jinshanling Great Wall. Staff was helpful and friendly. Rooms are a bit run down but well equipped and clean. Breakfast was good, not many western options but still very tasty.

The room was better than I expected. The best thing was that it was very close to the entrance of the Great Wall, which satisfied our desire to watch the sunset in the evening and the sunrise in the morning. The Jinshanling Great Wall is beautiful and worth visiting.
