2-Star Hotels in Chengde

When planning our trip to Jinshanling Great Wall, we looked at several guesthouses and ultimately chose Wanping Farm Stay. We were not disappointed! The guesthouse is incredibly close to the Great Wall scenic area's ticket office. We could even see the watchtowers from their courtyard – super convenient for an early morning climb. The rooms were surprisingly bright, clean, and modern, exactly as pictured. Breakfast offered local specialties, and for lunch and dinner, you could order dishes. The owner, who is an amazing cook, prepared delicious home-style meals that perfectly suited our Shanghai palates. The whole family was incredibly warm and friendly. The owner is also a Great Wall photography master, full of experiences and tips. We'll definitely choose Wanping Farm Stay again next time!

I cannot recommend this farmhouse enough! If you are visiting the Jinshanling Great Wall, staying here is an absolute must. The location is perfect, featuring a beautiful rooftop terrace where you can sit and look directly at the Great Wall in total peace. The room itself was modern, and clean, with a great AC, but set right in the middle of a charming, authentic farm. But the absolute highlight of my stay was the host family. The hospitality is unmatched. The Owner Lady of the house cooked some of the most delicious, massive, and authentic meals I’ve had in China, and she went completely out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and well-fed. The food was also unbelievably affordable. The Owner truly went above and beyond for me. When I was struggling to find a reasonably priced car back to Beijing, he spent hours late at night helping me on WeChat, making sure I wasn't overcharged by local drivers. He eventually helped me find a cheap, highly scenic train route back to the city and personally drove me to the local station. They treated a solo foreign traveler like absolute family. If you want a genuine, heartwarming, and frictionless experience at the Great Wall, book this place. 太好吃了 and 谢谢 to the amazing hosts!”

Among all the B&Bs I've stayed at, this one easily ranks in the top three. If you factor in the price, it's definitely number one for value for money. The family running the B&B was incredibly welcoming and warm, especially the older folks who were so vibrant. To get from the B&B to the Jinshanling Great Wall hiking entrance, we asked the owner to call a car for us, and it was only 10 yuan per person one way, dropping us off directly. The minivan was much more comfortable than taking the shuttle bus, and it's also a short walk if you prefer. If I had to pick a downside, the toiletries were a bit basic, but considering the room rate, that's easily overlooked.

This hotel is conveniently located near the scenic area, making travel easy. The navigation led us directly to the entrance, where the warm and welcoming owner personally greeted us – a big thumbs up! The home-cooked meals by the owner were delicious, especially the chicken stew with wild mushrooms which was incredibly tender and juicy – absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend it to friends in need of accommodation.

Very comfortable room, right in the center. Breakfast was incredibly good. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful.

Loved our stay at Jinshanling hanting B&B. Very convient to the ticket gate, about a 1minute walk so ideal for sunset and sunrise viewing. Staff are very helpful and friendly - communicating via translate app and providing detailed information to make the most of our visit. We enjoyed our dinner we had after the sunset, and breakfast which was included. We also used the transfer service back to the train station which was reasonable priced.

Facilities are sufficient for our type of travel; that are trekking and Great Wall viewing. Location is excellent with easy access to different parts of the of the Great Wall. Breakfast and dinner were at the stay and the simple local cuisine of good food suited our taste buds .. Topping all is the extra mile service by the owner 崔老版 and his family. We had a beautiful and memorable time here

This is a nice and clean hotel close to restaurants and shops, and they accepted me as a foreigner without a problem. But it was the very first time on my two year long bicycle journey that I had to leave my bicycle outside the hotel in a car park. I know that China is a safe country, because there are security cameras everywhere, but if something happens to my bike, it might be the end of my journey. The other disturbing thing was that the staff was talking very loud in the corridor at 6.30 am and I couldn't get enough sleep. Please keep in mind that people want to rest and sleep .You can talk to each other in a more polite way.

We were scared of large crowds at the wall, and followimg many online recommendation we found the Jinshanling section. This hotel is at the great location a short walk from the mid enterance to the wall section, the Gubeikou train station is also very reachable from the Beijingbei (North) train station. It is also quite affordable to reach the place by Didi (550 yuan from the Beijing airport). The place is clean, and the food really stands out as quite amazing, the prices are also very low, for room and food. Just tell the owner you would want a breakfast and you will be served one first thing in the morning. The ladies are also super nice and very hospitable to the foreign turists.

I feel that this is much better than most of ”youth hostels” in China. Nice vibe, clean, friendly staff, good internet, good location. It has its own bar/cafe which is both an advantage (if I had more time, I would love to relax over a beer there), and a problem (it got quite noisy at night). Chengde is a very touristy town, but it's also a nice place to relax if you have more time.
