Eight Banners Inn

Everything was great. Thre staff were friendly, the restaurant in the courtyard had good food, and the room has heated floors. Traditional kang beds are hard, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't sleep on their back or with back problems.

Nice place. Love it

I would not recommend booking with this location. I made a mistake booking over a week in advance and even though I made contact right away to cancel/refund I was denied. No changes are posted in the rules but this is NOT good customer service.

The location is within Gubei Watertown. Although there’s a shuttle service going to the center, you have to walk all the way through the hotel itself. It’s quite near the Simatai Great Wall and the Dancing Fountain. The hotel has the Japanese themed touch in its rooms. Plus, the complimentary items are so nice. Although at first, I didn’t expect that there is a preauthorization fee for booking? Which means, you book the hotel room (exact amount of the room) and you pay for another same amount in the hotel which is like a deposit. You get refunded after your stay. So, better bring extra cash! Surprisingly, among all the hotels we’ve stayed in Gubei, this by far is my favorite. It’s like a hidden gem ✔️ to mention, it has a mini hot spring in your very own room. It saved us thousands 💴 rather than going to the Hot spring uphill and pay, this is far better! You have privacy, and you can use it unli times. The water is hot and is really good during winter (i will definitely come back on winter days) Though it’s a lil bit far, but it is surrounded with nice Cafes, a convenience store, restaurants, bars, bowling and billiards and near main attractions. If you want a place to stay that is far from crowded areas yet you have everything in the vicinity, then this is the place for you. I do not like it when there’s too many people so this suited us well. Oh, and the way/path going there is beautiful. It’s another side of Gubei that you will love to see! ❤️ I wish I found this before. This is my 3rd time to visit and this gives me more reason to come back next time.
