Beijing Badaling Great Wall Cao's Courtyard Hostel

Sehr gute Lage, in der Nähe der S2. Der Eingang zur Chinesischen Mauer ist etwa 1 km entfernt. Der Gastgeber spricht gut Englisch. Das Zimmer ist sehr komfortabel und bietet ausreichend Annehmlichkeiten. Empfehlenswert

David, sprach Englisch (seine Frau auch). Er traf uns bei unserer Ankunft und war sehr hilfsbereit bei der Orientierung. Er brachte uns zusätzliche Decken gegen die Kälte und blieb über WeChat mit uns in Kontakt, um uns bei Bedarf Wegbeschreibungen und Erklärungen zu geben. Die Unterkunft war einfach, aber für uns war sie super! Fantastisches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und ein freundlicher Empfang!

Cao's Great Wall Hostel in Badaling is a sweet little hotel in a village where the owner, David, grew up. Out of an ancient courtyard compound was created the hostel along a hutong near the Great Wall. It's a small enterprise with small, immaculately clean guest rooms that have everything a traveler needs for a comfortable stay. The courtyard garden is teeming with healthy blooming plants that are tended to with much care. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with small restaurants and storefronts just down the street. David and his wife speak fluent English and they are both warm, outgoing, and eager to assist their guests. Indeed, they go out of their way to be sure you're comfortable and well taken of. From their small hotel menu, I ordered egg and tomato noodle soup for dinner and fried chicken steak with coffee the next morning. Both meals cooked by David's father were simple and delicious. Although very close to the Great Wall, Cao's Hostel is a bit tricky to find from the railway station. David provides a video guide on how to reach it nand I found him waiting on the street for me when I finally got to the point where we turned into his village. For a very homey stay run by a lovely family in an extremely quiet area near the Great Wall at an excellent price, I highly recommend Cao's Great Wall Hostel.
