Located just 2.6 km from Great Wall of China - Huanghuacheng, Encounter Garden Great Wall Holiday Guesthouse features accommodation in Beijing with access to a garden, a bar, as well as full-day security. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a patio and a swimming pool. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard.

We LOVED this place. Rooms were beautiful and so clean and cosy! The communal areas were spotless, the staff were super helpful (download WeChat for easy communication) and the food was super tasty! It’s a 20-25 minute walk to the Great Wall. They can sort a car for you but you don’t need it. It was so nice to finish a full day at the Wall then just walk back to this place which was warm, cozy and had great tea. The kids loved it and we felt right at home from the minute we walked in. Thanks for everything.

Situated within the Dongcheng district in Beijing, Refactoring Space Beijing Wang Fu Jing has air conditioning, a terrace, and city views. This guest house features accommodation with a balcony. The property is 1.3 km from the city centre and 1.5 km from Wangfujing Street.

The quality of amenities is unbelievably good, the location of the hotel next to Dongsi Street is imo the best location in Beijing. The room was spacy, the cushions were ergonomic, and because of the mattress, I had one of the best sleeps from all the travels I did so far (I travel a lot). The hotel Manager is kind and friendly, hospitable and very motivated to learn more English or speak it better. There is a tea café in the lobby where you'll sure have your best tea cup in Beijing. Highly recommended hotel and definitely staying there the next time I visit Beijing.

    Good location with a great host. Mark was so friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Able to purchase drinks there which was helpful. Breakfast was good and the rooms were very clean. It was quiet even though the rooms look onto the courtyard.

    It is near Nanluoguxiang, where there are many scenic spots and delicious food. The service of the staff is super good. They also help us with our luggage, tell us the route and recommend places to visit. The homestay is also very quiet and beautiful. The environment is beautiful. The room facilities are impeccable. Coffee and tea are provided. Free laundry service is provided. It's really great. I heard from the staff that there will be breakfast next week. Perfect and good trip.

    Living in a hutong area that has the old and new at your doorstep! Was conveniently located to lovely local restaurants where locals dine(if the one at the beginning of the alley way is full go to the hole in the wall restaurant in the parallel street, it was delicious and super cheap!) Mark and the lady helpers were super nice (so was cute little Justine).

    Loved the location which was in the foothills of the GWoC (can see it in the near distance). It’s in a semi-rural location which also gives you an insight into the everyday life of locals.

    It is a normal good hostel. What I enjoyed the Most was the hostel atmosphere. Lots of travelers. The staff is very friendly & helpful as well. Location is Perfect. I do not recommend the 6-bed rooms; 4-bed rooms are much better.

    The staff is very foreigner friendly and all speak very good English. I would typically recommend the Garden or Courtyard rooms. The Private Residences are located in a separate area, and not as "fun", but better if you are traveling with a small family or need more privacy. Breakfast at Toast was included.

    The 2 bedroom suite is perfect for a family with 2 kids, we arrived after a long flight from London and were immediately comfortable, the staff were friendly and helped us with taxis to the train station (not the one over the road, we were taking a train from another one) when we left, very good breakfast with lots of options for locals and foreigners. We’re staying here again before we fly back to London
