Jinshanling Great Wall Hotel Reviews

Location is great. Front desk seemed to not really know how to register foreigners, taking a long time when it’s actually quite simple process. They should be kept updated on new immigration policies China has implemented to ensure smooth process for all the guests. Also they had quite hard time to explain in Chinese (on phone) how it works to get in to Jinshanling Great Wall. Concierge however was nice and helpful. Their service was 10/5 and raises the overall to 5/5 from 3/5. Restaurant is fine, prices are quite high but given that food was edible and no other options it is acceptable. Breakfast is good enough. Cleanliness is ok, bed sheets are clean but bathroom is not so clean, quite many stains. Taking better care of the room could and would allow cheaper maintenance in long term. Bit of dust also. Hotel should offer transit service to its customers from railway station so they wouldn’t be stranded and aggressively faced by locals offering ride. Great Wall itself is amazing so I can only hope hotel would step up its game for the future.

Hotel is very nice and great location ! Breakfast is good and lot of options ! The only comment that I have ….. we forget the teddy bear of my son in our bed and was not able to find it ! …. Quite surprising in term of service ! Anyway … it was a good experience but make sure you don’t forget something .

Perfect location right on the entrance of Jinshaling Great Wall. Sunrise and sunset can be be enjoyed. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was Chinese.

Great location, near the water town and has its own scenic hike up the wall nearby if you’re looking to visit a remote section of the wild wall. We went in winter when there weren’t many taxis. The hotel were remarkably helpful in arranging a taxi to collect us.

Excellent location to see the Great Wall. Walking distance to main gate and tram. No crowds, cool weather, and very friendly and helpful staff. After a long hike on the wall, returning to the cool courtyard was luxurious!

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.

Great location, room is clean but some small harmless insects. Very near the great wall entrance. Service is normal, concierge service up front very helpful . Do note that is no lifts to second levels so if you have heavy bags may want to request for ground floors.

Main hotel of the area. Nice lobby and rest area. Well designed and equipped rooms. Cleanliness is ok. Expected more flexibility as a late-check-out for this price level

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.

Exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I look forward to my next visit!

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)
