Bel endroit ”

On a réservé 2 nuits et on ne regrette pas. La vue est superbe et l'hôtel est magnifique. Le personnel est sympa et attentionné. PS: je regrette seulement la pratique du prélèvement double pour le paiement du séjour.

Séjour grande muraille”

Très bien

Nice Surroundings, but not really 5 stars ”

This is a nice place to stay the decor is lovely and details in design are really a rare find. However, the service is lacking a bit. You would expect this place to bring your luggage to your room and not put it in a closet near reception and not ask to fumigate while you are trying to enjoy the balcony of your room. We were the only customers in the restaurant, yet had to go inside the restaurant (we were on the patio) the waitress every time we wanted to order something. One of the managers kept trying to upsell and get us to come back with more friends. We just wanted a quiet dinner. For what we were paying, I expected a lot more. The rooms were clean and comfortable although the hot water ran out in the shower really quickly.

Breathe of Fresh Air”

We were looking for a place somewhere in the outskirts of Beijing to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were attracted by the stellar reviews that this hotel has received. When we showed up on the day we were pleasantly surprised by how much improvement the local roads that led us to the hotel. We thought for a moment we were visiting the countryside in Europe. The Brickyard Hotel has been operating for over 10 years. The owners have done a great job in maintaining the place that everywhere we went around the hotel we could see thoughts and efforts being put in it. We were told that the pandemic has affected the business quite a lot so the hotel has rooms to spare during the time we stayed and they offered to upgrade us to a suite at Sansa Retreat which is a sister hotel next door to Brickyard. We first inspected the regular room we booked at Brickyard which was small but very tastefully decorated. We were then showed the suite at Sansa which was so much more spacious plus some terrace outdoor space. It was a tough decision as we liked both places but we chose the Sansa suite more so because of the outdoor space the room offered. Words could not describe how much we enjoyed our stay especially at night when we could stay on the terrace when everywhere was almost pitch-dark. We could watch the stars and the clear sky above us which was like a dream come true. We couldn’t wait to have another opportunity to stay in this great Chinese hotel again and to enjoy the hospitality from such a fine team of hotel staff. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found this gem. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Superbe”

Very little choices for meals at the restaurant, but can cook in the house. Lots of mosquitoes. Nice yard, very clean, good view of the Great Wall, but during COVID, route to the Wall thru the village is closed, need to go from main entrance. No curtain for many windows, not friendly for little kids or anyone who desires a good morning sleep.

Lovely place”

Great location. Lovely facilities. Great bathroom. The food was great. The shuttle to the wall was super convenient. Only negative: the mattresses were a little on the hard side.

Nice architecture by the great wall”

A beautiful week end by the Great Wall. The service is good, it is a bit disappointing though to only find western food and to have a just ok value breakfast with staff rushing you to finish. Otherwise great stay and good service.

Good place to relax from city life, but overcharged a bit.”

I really like the breakfast and the dinning cabin, but i think the falicities need a big improvement, especially bathroom. Appreantly chinese tourists are less satisfied than international tourists. interesting point.

I was looking for a htl like this in China for 25 yrs”

This place looks lil bit pricey at the very first sight. But after you visit you know that the one and only reason is that perfection comes at cost. It is super quiet, you can see Great Wall not only from bed but even from bathroom, and the fragrance of jasmine trees gives it a special atmosphere which the fragrant sticks could never achieve. And the design .. Ah! Uh! Oh! Amazing! A boutique hotel at its best and a living proof what Michelangelo is quoted to say:"Perfection lies in the details, in the smallest things. But perfection is not a small thing at all." We did not have food, only bkfst. (As a lover of good coffee, I could imagine slightly better coffee than the brew from that typical China-coffee-pot, but that would really be the only thing which in my opinion was not perfect.) Thx Brickyard and I will be definitely back!

Superbe”

The location is fantastic and the view from the room of the Great Wall is spectacular. Room was lovely and comfortable and breakfast was great. A highly recommended romantic getaway. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Great Wall - Mutianyu and Village Hike”

I would recommend it for its location for accessing the Great Wall and the village walks near to the hotel. It was very peaceful and rural. Couldn't see the Wall from the room though. Hotel provides a car shuttle to and from the Wall entrance which is a few minutes drive. For comfort, I would prefer to have higher curtains because you could see the trees waving in the wind at night although they did provide some eye covers (I just don't like sleeping with eye covers on!). For food, the dumplings were great. The menu is dominated by Western food (burgers and pasta) though if the Hotel is aiming for a more authentic feel, I would have preferred more local street food or other Beijing food options. It would also have been nice to do some yoga or tai chi but it wasn't available during the week days which is when I was staying. The family room was also an oddity because the two rooms were enclosed inside another door. Would have preferred easier access to the children's room.

Close to Mutianyu Great Wall”

We stayed here for 3 nights, I love the room with Mutianyu Great Wall. The decorations are great ! But for me they should provide enough amenities in the room as enough as 5 stars hotels. And the price for foods and spa should be lower or special discount for the room guest. The location very close to Mutianyu. But too far from the city, town to find and too quiet area.

Great Escapade”

The hotel is very secluded but good for those who seeks solace with a beautiful view of the great wall and mountains. The hotel is located very near to the Mutianyu Great Wall which is pretty much devoid of the hoards of tourist. It was a pleasant visit and the stay is comfortable. Expect connectivity to the modern world is limited but the staff is very helpful and hospitable in any way a typical village lifestyle in rural China. One of the most memorable stay while visit Beijing, thus this is my second time revisiting Mutianyu.

Relaxing and quiet. ”

Good access to Grest Wall and nice walks.

Great Wall Visit”

Loved this place, only downside was it rained on our last night and the skylight leaked, most of the rain fell on the bathroom side, but I was woken with a soft spay to the face every now and again. When checking out, we had a taxi booked for 3.30am and went to the lobby at 3am as it advertised tea and cookies available all night. The staff was asleep and when she woke we asked about a cup of tea or coffee and she said no - as she would have to make a whole bottle?? she did offer us orange juice. While she was away for an age to get this I got 2 teabags and made 2 cups of tea with the hot water in the lobby (which was actually just luke warm) I told her what I had done and said it only took 2 minutes to make, her reply was to offer to make us tea? Otherwise it was lovely and I would return

Hidden Gem near the Mutianyu Great Wall”

The highlight of my short trip to Beijing was my stay at Brickyard Retreat. The staff was wonderful. I had numerous itinerary issues and Brickyard was willing to work with me to ensure that I was able to enjoy a stay with them. Special thanks to Josh and Raj for helping me with my booking and transportation needs. Brickyard has a lovely restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the dishes I had were delicious and there were many choices to choose from. The grounds of the property allowed me to sit outside and relax while sipping my tea and coffee. The rooms were welcoming, comfortable and beautifully decorated. My favorite aspect of the Superior Queen room was all of the windows. I will certainly stay here again.

Nice place, poor value”

The Brickyard is a good place for travellers who speak no Chinese, do not eat Chinese food and are OK with being overcharged. I liked the resort in fact. It was an interesting location. However, it is clearly best for those who need help getting around and will pay a lot for the priveledge of having everyone speak English. In the end, it was very pleasant but not really for me.

Beautiful place, great food, views of the wall”

We only had one night here, and unfortunately Beijing rolled out its smog for us, so our views were very diminished. See my comments at the end about wall visit arrangements, to avoid t he same thing. I was very impressed by the quality of our rooms and the hotel in general. The food lunchtime food was great both days, very fresh and local ingredients. We also did their Saturday buffet/BBQ option which I was less impressed by (I'm not a meat-eater, so understandable). Rooms were modern, spacious, large shower-room, and small courtyard. My only criticism is that our reason to stay up by the wall was to get ahead of the Sunday tour buses from Beijing. When we asked about getting a morning taxi up there, we were told there was a 9am shuttle that they organise and we should go on that. As it turned out, there was an earlier one which we weren't told about. And then out 9am didn't leave until almost half past, and then gave some guests a lift to their villa before dealing with us. This was even though they knew I was getting a bit agitated about being delayed, and was told we'd be taken up first. This meant by the time we got to the ticket offices, it was already a chaotic throng. We had been told the driver would sort out the tickets for us, but he didn't at all - just stood and watched us deal with the crowds (in the end I just pushed to the front as the only people getting anywhere were doing that - I tell you, it's a dog eat dog world out there sometimes!). And then he ran us up to the middle car park (as far as he was allowed to drive) and we walked up from there. The other thing I thought was disappointing was there are actually two different cable cars, one is like a ski chair lift and one is a proper cable car. Turns out they're different companies, so you have to get the right ticket or you can't get on. The hotel obviously knows all this, so I don't know why they don't explain things like that - and the pros/cons of each one (because they deliver you to a diffe

A Slice of the US”

A real oasis at the foot of the Great Wall. Stylish, cozy rooms, pretty good food, and great western-friendly service. A perfect break from the madness of Beijing.

Excellent and peaceful”

We stayed in this lovely retreat-like accommodation for only one night. We wish we could have stayed for a week. Everything was lovely, clean, and so convenient for visiting the Great Wall. The food was wonderful. Our room had a lovely view of the Wall with a small but pretty courtyard in front. We had an amazing foot massage at the spa. Highly recommended. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had some difficulty getting back from the Wall and a minor delay checking out, but it did not take away from our wonderful stay.
