Hotel Hot Springs di Hebei, China

The room was spacious, easily accommodating our family of four, including elderly parents and a child, with its separate bedroom and living area. It even had a kitchen with a washing machine and dryer, and a large refrigerator, just like at home, which was perfect for storing food, and keeping drinks and snacks chilled or frozen in summer. The hotel is very close to the town center, practically right downstairs. Just a few steps away are the dining and commercial streets. It's close to KFC, and there are also many Chinese restaurants and food trucks, with all sorts of entertainment options concentrated here. The best part was the hotel's hot springs, with multiple indoor and outdoor pools. The outdoor ones felt really pleasant and not stuffy. They lit up at 7 PM, creating a lovely ambiance. It was also very convenient to access the hot springs directly from the hotel corridor. The hotel breakfast was predominantly Chinese, and quite filling.

The staff were all wonderful. We booked a 3-day, 2-night stay with our child, and they upgraded our room for free. When it was cooler, we dug in the sand by the sea, and when it was hot, we enjoyed the hot spring infinity pool. It was so much fun, we didn't want to leave each day! We also visited Xi Port Garden, which was about a 10-minute drive, and took some great photos. With all the food, drinks, and entertainment, it was truly a fantastic trip.

I booked this place for a friend, and the overall experience was excellent. Xiao Hao was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, making all the arrangements in advance and responding promptly. The rooms were clean and tidy, with comfortable furnishings and a tranquil environment, perfect for relieving travel fatigue. The location is convenient, and the price is excellent. My friend was very satisfied throughout the stay and would definitely book again. I highly recommend it for any trip!

The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The breakfast deserves special mention – it had a rich variety, including hot dishes, congee, pastries, and fruits, all tasting great and catering to different preferences. The restaurant environment was quiet, and getting food was convenient. The front desk staff were enthusiastic, and check-in was quick. The location is also convenient for getting around. Overall, it offers excellent value for money. I would choose this hotel again on my next visit and highly recommend it!

Took the kids to Xingrui Holiday Hotel for a weekend getaway, and it was a one-stop solution for entertaining them – so hassle-free! The hot springs were very comfortable, and they even had a kids' pool, which my child thoroughly enjoyed. The buffet dinner offered a rich variety of dishes and tasted great. In the afternoon, we explored the mini-farm, getting up close with the animals and enjoying nature. With dining, accommodation, and activities all within the resort, there was no need to travel back and forth, making for a relaxed pace. It's an excellent choice for a short family vacation.

The family room had toys, and the combined beds were spacious enough for two adults and two children to sleep comfortably. The hotel has its own hot spring park and a soft play area. Although not huge, it's very clean, the water temperature is just right, and the hot spring floor is soft. There's always staff tidying up the soft play area. Kids under 10 could easily spend two or three hours there. We also received a small gift for the children. Breakfast was plentiful, and we could even have freshly cooked noodles when we returned from Hetou Old Street in the evening. There's also a shuttle bus service to and from Hetou Old Street. We were short on time and didn't get to feed the deer.

I stayed at the Binliya Hotel for two nights during the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in Thaiwoo Ski Resort. First, the pros: 1. The hotel opened in 2025, so the decor is quite new. It's designed in an American cabin style, and the overall environment and facilities are excellent. 2. They offer shuttle service to and from the high-speed rail station. Upon arrival, you can easily spot staff holding signs. The hotel has its own dedicated vehicles. For departure, they'll drop you off about an hour before your train, which is very convenient and allows plenty of time. 3. The hotel boasts a prime central location in Thaiwoo Ski Resort, very close to the entrance/exit of the 4-person gondola. 4. The room was spacious, with a separate wet/dry bathroom, a bathtub, and an independent walk-in closet. The view from the window was fantastic; I could enjoy beautiful mountain scenery by opening the curtains in the morning, and watch the bonfire party downstairs from the balcony at night. 5. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, both Chinese and Western, perfectly suiting Northern Chinese tastes. I tried the chef's recommended black pork buns, which were truly delicious! The jianbing (savory crepes) were also excellent, and the tofu pudding was quite good. The biggest advantage of breakfast was the abundance of freshly prepared dishes, creating a vibrant atmosphere. 6. The minibar in the room had sea buckthorn juice and Coke. Welcome fruit was delivered every afternoon, and small snacks and yogurt were brought to the room every evening. On Mid-Autumn Festival night, mooncakes were delivered. 7. You can enjoy the hot springs from afternoon to evening. There's one indoor pool at 39°C and three outdoor pools at 40°C. They were not crowded, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel cold even in the outdoor springs. It was very relaxing after a tiring day. Now, the cons: 1. Check-in at the front desk was slow. When I arrived around 11 AM, all three front desk staff were busy checking in other guests. My mother and I each joined a queue but still had to wait a long time for our turn. The efficiency was very low. There weren't many people at the time, so I can only imagine how much longer the wait would be during peak season. 2. I booked a panoramic balcony king room, but during check-in, the front desk assigned us to the more distant G building, specifically the furthest room at the end of the G building. They didn't proactively inform us of this, even though I had an elderly person with me, nor did they give us the option to choose a similar room type in the F building. The front desk, restaurant, hot spring pool, and entrance/exit are all in the F building. From our room, every time we wanted to go in or out, we had to walk through a long connecting corridor and then take an elevator, which was very tiring and inconvenient. Overall, the hotel service was very good. Most of the staff were excellent; they greeted guests politely and proactively, and were able to resolve issues promptly.

The soundproofing in the room was quite poor; I could clearly hear the neighbor pressing the light switch on the wall. The hardware facilities were decent, but the soft services were a bit lacking, especially the hot spring area, which felt a bit run-down. The meals were okay.
