The hotel is very close to the Mutianyu Great Wall. It also provides a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the Mutianyu Ticket Office and back. It’s also very close to Huaibei International Ski Resort. The breakfast is very good and has everything, including freshly ground coffee, fruits, fried eggs, bread, jam. The hotel staff all speak English. In winter, the room has floor heating, which is very warm. The bed is very comfortable. We stayed at the second floor which has a large terrace with beautiful mountain views!

The location was great, very close to Mutianyu Great Wall, free transportation. They offered breakfast free of charge , the coffee was really good. It has a rooftop, you can admire the surrounding, I am sure it’s very nice in the other seasons. It is also very close to a sky resort. The owner, the staff were all very attentive, great service, very helpful.

The experience of staying at this homestay is very good. I am a French resident in China and have been living there for a long time. The environment here is very good, clean and tidy. The location is also very convenient. I went to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall and the host provided free transportation. Next time I come to visit, I will stay at this homestay

This place was cozy, clean, and spacious enough. Angel and staff were amazing and helpful. A little far from the city, but very close to the Great Wall Mutianyu Entrance. They also have free shuttle to the Great Wall Entrance. Angel is super helpful with information on other must see sights in Beijing. Flower Yard is perfect for a 1-2 day trip outside the city.

Flower Yard is a nice and warm homestay. Angel and Tony are very nice hosts. Their homestay close to the Mutianyu Great Wall. They provide free shuttle bus from homestay to the Mutianyu Great Wall entrance and pick you up when you finish the Mutianyu Great Wall. The room we stayed are warm and cozy, the king bed is comfortable. The breakfast was so delicious. They provided Grind coffee for free. We ordered latte and long black coffee. The coffee beans are very fresh. Also Angel helped us to book the Mutianyu Great Wall all tickets. it's very convenient for us. We are so happy and we will come back here again. Thank you Angel and Tony.

We only had one short night here but were blown away by the hospitality of the owners, Angel and Tony. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Their property is clean, well appointed, and the rooms are large. We rented out both rooms and the owners went out of their way to arrange a private guide to the Great Wall early the next morning as well as transfers to and from the airport. We saw the sun rise over the Great Wall which was majestic. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will be back!

My wife and I were visiting Beijing and were a little nervous about taking a group tour of the Great Wall. We had read about tourists being pressured to buy things or bus stops involving tea ceremonies that waste half the day. Fortunately we read the reviews for the Flower Yard and followed the advice. This is a small hotel on the outskirts of the Beijing, literally a stones throw from the wall itself. They have their own private shuttle service. The owners welcomed us warmly which was much appreciated. They have a daughter about 4 or 5yrs old named Beth. Beth was the life of the party. I think my wife enjoyed her as much as the visit to the Great Wall. The food was good and it didn’t matter that we don’t speak Mandarin as the menu had a photo besides everything we ordered. The atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Luckily English was spoken at the hotel which really surprised us considering the Flower Yard isn’t a major hotel in the big city. Our room had Oriental furniture and we later learned Tony the owner, was a local artist and had painted the pictures on the wall. The bed had a thin mattress on a firm board. I’ve never slept on one before and can honestly say I got a great nights sleep.

While in Beijing a few years back I stumbled on this family owned hotel. It was my pleasure to make a return stay this week. Originally I was eager to see the Great Wall without the w of large crowds and endless shopping stops. The Flower Yard’s location is perfect for that. Located just 10 minutes from the Wall at Mutianyu they offer free shuttle service for their guests. The hotel itself is owed by a young, hands on couple named Tony and his wife, Angel. Angel speaks English which made everything easier. She is also happy to assist guests with telephone calls if needed. Both she and Tony not only run the day to day operation but they make it their business to see that their guests are taken care of. On the morning I first visited the Wall Tony dove me there. He then walked with me to the one and only counter that sells tickets that include the slide. It’s location was not obvious and as I don’t speak Chinese I would have surely missed it. He was also waiting patiently at our agreed upon time, when I returned. In my experience that type of service is very rare! On this trip I had a single room with a double bed. It was tastefully decorated with traditional Chinese furnishings and had a private bathroom and shower. It also had a western toilet which can not always be taken for granted in smaller Chinese hotels. The WiFi was free and worked perfectly throughout my stay. The breakfast was hot, delicious and local. Local meaning, they served eggs (with the shell!) They have a small courtyard where you can enjoy Starbucks-like lattes with cakes and other snacks. Angel also offers workshops if you’re interested in learning how to make “all things Chinese”. All in all, if your goal is to visit the Great Wall of China with free transportation to and from the Wall, without shopping stops and then relax in a welcoming local atmosphere, the Flower Yard is your hotel!
