Simatai Great Wall hotels

[Bryan]

There are four hotels at Simatai. The original one is at 40°39'15"N 117°16'17"E. The second one is located at 40°39'13"N 117°16'20"E. This is the only hotel that I have used at Simatai. This hotel was previously called Lonely Planet Hotel but now seems to be called the Simatai Great Wall Hotel. This is the hotel that is closest to the Great Wall and, importantly, the only one that is inside of the ticket gate. I have stayed here on three separate occasions. The most recent time I stayed here, in 2008, the rooms were about ¥200 RMB per night. The staff at this hotel is extremely friendly.

The telephone number for this hotel is 86-10-6903-5159.

There is a restaurant adjoining the hotel. The restaurant has good food and good service for reasonable prices.

There is a guest house at 40°39'43"N 117°16'42"E. It has a website you can visit at http://www.simataiguesthouse.com/.

The newest hotel is located at 40°39'12"N 117°16'15"E.

This is the outside of the hotel as you approach it from the main gate.
