Pros:

Auberge au calme et idéalement située, à 15 minutes à pied de la gare et de la Muraille de Badaling. Le patio intérieur, grandiose, invite à la sérénité et les plats et petits-déjeuners faits maison sont tout simplement délicieux !

Great stay experience!
Pros:

The rustic and laidback environment, friendly staff, traditional breakfast wanton soup served. This hostel is located in an ancient town off the hustle and bustle of Badaling entrance to Great Wall. It is a nice long walk to get to the entrance of the attraction.

Cons:

Nothing in particular. Hosts are generally accomodating, breakfast is served between 7 to 8am, so be aware if you like to sleep in.

Pros:

Cada rincón merece una foto. Si quieres vivir una experiencia 100% china, es tu alojamiento. Las habitaciones correctas. La cama es tipo futón y el desayuno tradicional chino, ciertamente, curioso el lugar. Las fotos son algo desactualizadas. Todo estaba limpio y se puede visitar la muralla de Badaling, andando

Cons:

Faltaba un poco de espacio en la habitación
