4-Star Hotels in Hebei, China

An attractive hotel in a former imperial complex (a library or something like that) offering large, clean rooms. It's up on the side of a hill but taxis/rideshare will take you to the front door. Also it's very close to the town center and is a short ride to the temples that are of interest in Chengde. They have a decent breakfast at the onsite restaurant, and a dinner service featuring local dishes that are supposed to be similar to what an emperor might have eaten. So you can dine like an emperor, for a fee. The large deer roaming the grounds stare at your with the big, sad eyes, obviously looking for a handout, but don't fall for it as there's plenty of grass. There was some construction going on, seems the buildings are being refurbished, but it did not really interfere with our stay. Signs in English and English-speaking staff at the front desk.

Holiday Inn Express Hengshui offered an excellent experience! It's conveniently located directly opposite Hengshui Railway Station, just a 10-15 minute drive from Hengshui North Station, and only 3-7 minutes from Hengshui Middle School and other local schools, making getting around super easy. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the rooms are spacious and clean, featuring modern smart amenities like voice control systems. Each floor has a laundry and drying room, adding to the overall convenience. Breakfast is plentiful and varied, and there's free parking available. Outstanding value for money – highly recommend!

Superb experience, hotel was so clean. Staff was very helping and friendly specially want say thanks to Tingting, Feifei & Juanjuan. They are very soft spoken and helpful. Thank u so much for your hospitality.

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its outstanding service and comfortable accommodations. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and equipped with all the modern amenities I needed for a relaxing stay.

This snow season, I once again chose the Thaiwoo Hotel, located within Thaiwoo Town and right next to the ski resort. My last stay was excellent, and its central location within the town, just a three-minute walk from the ski hall, were all reasons for me to return. They also provided a complimentary upgrade. Upon my morning arrival, since the room wasn't ready yet, they added me on WeChat to avoid delaying my skiing. By 1-2 PM, when the room still wasn't available, they switched me to a room of the same type. Even though I hadn't checked in yet, they were very trustworthy. The room was spacious and well-designed. Not only was there a wet/dry separation, but the shower room also featured a stone bench design. The separate, spacious storage room was also a nice touch. The addition of a sleep pad provided even greater assurance for a comfortable night's sleep – everything was perfectly arranged! They also allowed for a slightly later check-out on Monday. Later, I received a message on WeChat from the staff member I had added earlier, asking if I had arrived home safely. The service was truly touching! Regarding breakfast, I suggest increasing the temperature for better comfort. The variety was mediocre; I recommend adding options like Jianbing (Chinese crepes) to make breakfast more diverse. That would make it perfect!

Hotel is close to the beach and staff are helpful but the carpet feels dirty on my feet and there were some yellow spatter marks on the walls in the bathroom. The AC had a hard time getting below 24 so I definitely woke up sweating a few times but they came and looked at it the second day and it was slightly better down to 22. The view and room were nice I appreciated the sofa/ living area but the couch did have several stains. The hotel bar /cafe didn’t have many food options but drinks were pretty good. Breakfast was good and had many options.

This hotel offers incredible value for money! My friends and I booked a package that included a room, breakfast, hot springs access, and a ski pass. The ski pass was for Fulong and valid until 4:30 PM, which was perfect for returning to relax in the hot springs afterwards. The room itself was comfortable, with plenty of hot water and even a humidifier. Breakfast was also delicious and had everything we needed. The service was excellent. Our window was frozen shut and the room was a bit warm, so I contacted the front desk. The receptionist immediately sent someone to open the window and adjust the underfloor heating. I was very satisfied and would definitely give it a 5-star rating. I'll definitely choose this place again for my next ski trip.

The hotel boasts a prime location in the old town, within walking distance of Xingtai Museum, Kaiyuan Temple, and Qingfeng Tower. Dahuoquan Park is also easily accessible by bus, about a 20-minute ride away. There are excellent dining options nearby, including Wanda Plaza, Heijia Dumpling Restaurant, and Guangshunxing right across the street. Our room was clean, and the bedding was fresh with no unpleasant odors. Both the service and the overall ambiance were very good. A major plus is the underground parking lot equipped with slow-charging EV stations. We do have a few minor suggestions: 1. While the breakfast selection isn't extensive, there's certainly enough to fill you up. 2. For the fresh fruit, we noticed bananas were cut in half. It might be better to serve them whole, as the cut surfaces tend to blacken quickly. 3. The soy milk served was quite diluted.

Well appointed, easy booking and extremely helpful staff, XiaoZhou and JiaJia，（小周和佳佳） that assisted with a misplaced bag and very courteous all the time, great breakfast,would stay again

I recently stayed at the Venice Waterworld Hotel in Shijiazhuang and, unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The hotel feels quite outdated and in need of renovation. The rooms were dark and old, with furnishings that seemed worn and tired. One of the biggest issues was the air conditioning—it was old and lacked a proper thermostat, making it difficult to regulate the temperature. Additionally, smoking is permitted throughout the hotel, which was a major downside for me as a non-smoker. The smell of tobacco was pervasive in the hallways and common areas, making the stay less comfortable. Breakfast lacked food for its guests. They were not being topped up according to the people who were in the restaurant. While the location may be convenient for some, the overall condition and policies of the hotel make it a poor choice for travelers who prefer clean, modern, and smoke-free accommodations. If I return to Shijiazhuang, I will definitely look for a different hotel. Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) – Below Average, Needs Improvement
