Hotels With Pools in Hebei, China

Whenever I visit Gu'an, I always choose this hotel. The rooms are spacious, and the surrounding area is fantastic with plenty of dining and shopping options. Central Park is just across the street, perfect for a leisurely stroll after dinner – it's incredibly relaxing. The only downside this time of year is the abundance of poplar catkins, which can be quite annoying.

The overall environment was quiet and comfortable, and the room had excellent natural light. The room service staff were enthusiastic and polite, responding quickly to requests with thoughtful and attentive service. The entire room was cleaned meticulously, with corners and bathrooms spotless. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress was just the right firmness – very relaxing to lie on, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Overall, I was very satisfied with everything. It's my top choice for travel accommodations, and I'll definitely come back again.

This trip to Aranya, I chose the Noark Far & Near, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. It's truly an ideal choice for a relaxing and therapeutic getaway. The hotel is located in the serene, Phase 10 area, away from the hustle and bustle of the South Shore. The hotel's shuttle service is on-call, and the park shuttle runs regularly, making it convenient to get to the Chapel, Library, and commercial districts. It perfectly balances tranquility with accessibility. As a new hotel opened in 2025, all the facilities are brand new. The rooms are spacious, and the deep sleep amenities truly live up to their reputation – full blackout curtains and high-end bedding ensured an exceptionally peaceful sleep. The rooms are equipped with a BOSE speaker and a smart toilet, and the minibar drinks and snacks are complimentary. Every detail exudes quality. The public areas are designed with a strong artistic flair, and the lobby scent is luxurious. The outdoor pool, gym, and meditation space are all well-appointed, so even if you don't want to go out, you can still have a very comfortable stay within the hotel. The restaurant on the first floor offers delicious food, and the breakfast selection is extensive. The service was gentle yet discreet. Check-in at the front desk was efficient, and the shuttle drivers were very thoughtful. Throughout my stay, there was no feeling of awkwardness from excessive service. This is definitely a hotel I would stay at again on my next visit to Aranya.

Pros: The hotel boasts an excellent location, with a variety of restaurants right outside the back door. During my stay, I enjoyed Korean BBQ, regular BBQ, hot pot, and iron pot stew – all delicious! The only minor downsides were the limited vegetable selection and prices being a bit higher than Beijing, but that's typical for mountain areas. The hotel facilities are quite comprehensive: air conditioning, hot water, and soundproofing were all perfect. The pool, gym, and reading room were great spots to pass the time on rainy days. The pool has separate sections for adults and children, and the water isn't too deep. If you go, make sure to bring all your gear! Cons: The breakfast menu remained largely the same for the entire week. The Western options were decent, but the Chinese breakfast was too monotonous. Lunch and dinner were essentially just rebranded breakfast items. Laundry requires purchasing tokens at the front desk, and washing and drying are charged separately at 50 yuan each. Suggestions: Without significantly increasing costs, the menu could definitely be diversified. Given the number of seniors with children staying at the hotel, easy-to-store and transport vegetables like bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, tofu, and tomato with egg could be rotated more often. The sauces for noodles and the porridge options could also be varied. Please, please don't serve the fruits and drinks so cold – my stomach can't handle it!

For a hotel of this caliber, I'd say it's pretty good. The location is excellent, right next to the beach. Breakfast was plentiful, and the service was prompt. Zhao Ying at the front desk was very helpful, answering all my questions patiently and thoroughly. However, there were quite a few issues with the details: When we booked the table tennis club, we assumed it was part of the hotel's facilities. To our surprise, after the 'person in charge' arrived, they asked us to switch to another table with noticeable damage. That wouldn't have been a big deal, but then the 'person in charge' and three teammates started playing on the table we had just vacated. My family then started using a robot practice machine, but we were stopped and told that we had only rented one table. With just one minute left on our time slot, we were 'precisely' reminded that our time was up. To keep my family happy, I didn't say anything, but I have to wonder: if both tables were the same, why were we made to switch? And if they weren't the same, why wasn't the price different? This is the first time I've encountered such a situation at a hotel, and I'm not even sure if this is under hotel management's purview. The overall room hygiene was acceptable, but there was always a urine smell in the toilet cubicle. The hot spring pool in the small courtyard was full of fallen leaves, clearly not cleaned for a long time. The door to the courtyard was warped, making it difficult to open and close, and the sensor light kept turning on by itself, so we had to block it. There are many steps throughout the hotel, and some of them lack accessible ramps. Even where ramps exist, they are so steep that they wouldn't be practical for people with disabilities. I hope the hotel can improve on these points and continue to get better.

I booked this guesthouse with a 'let's see' attitude. It was pouring rain on the way there, and I almost turned back, but when I arrived, I was incredibly impressed! I brought my own stove to barbecue in the yard, and the guesthouse owner (brother) was super patient, helping us prepare everything, even starting the fire and teaching us some tricks. He was also mindful not to disturb us, leaving after he showed us what to do – truly enthusiastic and nice! Also, the guesthouse owner (sister) was fantastic. The next morning, she made us a huge breakfast spread. There was so much food that the two of us were stuffed, only managing to finish two plates. The timing of our visit was perfect. There were very few people in the courtyard, almost like having the whole place to ourselves, which made for an amazing experience! The weather was also very comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold, and walking along the path was incredibly refreshing. I'm planning to go back next time with friends and my dog, and also try the whole roasted lamb that was featured on CCTV2! 😍

The hotel's location is pretty good, and the surroundings are very quiet. It's only about a 19-minute drive to Jinshanling Great Wall. However, the Jinshanling exit on the G45 Beijing-Chengde Expressway is closed, so you have to take a detour. When there are fewer guests, breakfast is served individually with generous portions. When it's busy, they open a buffet with a wider variety of options. The room was spacious, great for families. But there were a lot of ladybugs (or 'stink bugs' as some call them) that somehow got into the room; we had to clear them out as soon as we checked in. The bathroom drain was clogged, so the facilities definitely need some maintenance. It's probably okay for a 1-2 night stay.

The location is fantastic, perfect for relaxing and taking a stroll. You can easily walk or bike to Qinhuang Alley without needing a car. Location has always been Shangri-La's strong suit, which is why even if the facilities are a bit dated, I still prioritize staying here when I travel. While the facilities are a little old, they are well-maintained. The cleanliness is acceptable. The environment is absolutely wonderful. I even caught a wedding during my two-day stay. Since I was just relaxing anyway, I spent the whole morning watching from the balcony – congratulations to the happy couple! Breakfast was mediocre, crowded and chaotic, and the food was just so-so. The service was okay.

This time, I stayed at a B&B within the Azure Coast park. It's just a few minutes' walk to the beach, so the location is absolutely fantastic. With its incredibly long beach, you can take photos, go mudflat exploring, or just relax. It's an all-in-one seaside destination, and the experience was perfect 💯

I've stayed here multiple times already, it's my top choice whenever I'm on a business trip in Shijiazhuang. The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient transportation, right next to Dongli Subway Station, just a 5-minute walk away. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. It's also right next to the MixC City commercial center, and the road in front of the hotel has been repaired, making access easy. Upon check-in, I even received complimentary soft drinks and a free mini-bar, which was a thoughtful touch. The front desk service was warm and attentive, much appreciated. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next business trip to Shijiazhuang.
