Homestays in Liaoning, China

As a German backpacker traveling through China on a budget, I’ve stayed in many hostels and budget hotels — and Fuyuan Inn in Dandong was honestly one of the best value stays I’ve had on my entire trip. The location is absolutely perfect. Being directly next to the river was one of the best parts of staying here. You can easily walk along the riverside, enjoy the views, and it’s especially beautiful at night. It also makes exploring Dandong very convenient. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed. The owners were unbelievably kind, warm, and helpful. Even as a foreign traveler, they made everything very easy for me. What completely surprised me was that the owner even gave me a free tour around the area, which was such a generous gesture and made my experience in Dandong much more memorable and personal. Another thing I really appreciated was that they actually let me choose between a smoking room and a non-smoking room — a small detail, but it shows they care about guest comfort. The room itself was extremely clean and far better equipped than I expected for this price range. It came with a TV, toothbrushes, soap, good shampoo, and everything else you might need for a comfortable stay. Everything felt very clean, organized, and well maintained. And honestly, for the price, I cannot complain about a single thing. It’s amazing value for money. The biggest highlight though was definitely the owners. They are some of the friendliest people I’ve met during my travels — genuinely caring, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. If you’re coming to Dandong and want an affordable place in a perfect riverside location with spotless rooms and amazing hosts, book Fuyuan Inn. I would 100% stay here again.

5/5 Location wise, you couldn't find a more perfect homestay. Literally built within the walls of the Shenyang palace, an easy 5 minute walk down the main street to the Shenyang Imperial Palace and Huaiyuanmen station just outside the palace walls. The room was immaculate with brand new furnishing as the hotel seems to be newly renovated with an Art Deco vibe. For the price you couldn't ask for any more. An absolute joy to stay at, the front desk service was immensely helpful with advice and even offered to wash and dry my clothes upon request on the first night. Couldn't be happier and will return, thank you so much!

The boss is very nice, the room is great value, the view is beautiful, and parking is very convenient, as shown in the picture

I booked a special offer room, and the design is really well thought out. It's compact but doesn't feel cramped or stuffy. I specifically checked the amenities and facilities, and they're the same as those in the other sea-view rooms, which shows the owner really invested in the place. My favorite part is the balcony – with all the flowers in bloom and the sea view, it's absolutely gorgeous! Just a side note, sitting there with a cup of coffee at night, enjoying the light show on the cross-sea bridge, is incredibly relaxing. The owner is a bit too modest; the actual stay was much better than what the pictures suggested.

Cant complain. This hotel is just worth the price with the kind of cleanliness, service, comfortability, aesthetics and location. It is near Xinghai Square where we watched the light show at the bridge. Just beautiful! I would love to stay here much longer if I were to visit Dalian again. Free laundry by the way and I did not have to pay for extra coffee which was actually really good too. We were also allowed to check out later. The staff were particularly pleasing! Eventhough their English is limited they tried their best to provide whats needed. Excellent place! I felt so at home but at the same time it didn’t even feel like you’re in China. Superb considering I booked the cheapest room for three adults.

The location was excellent, being right beside the Financial Centre metro station and in walking distance to the ShenYang North railway station. It is also easy to walk to the one of the biggest morning markets if you just follow the GaoDe Map. I also walked to the nearest museum as the roads are easy to walk. Highly recommend this place for the location and the affordable room rate. There are a lot of restaurants, mini-marts, fruit shops right below the house. There’s also a mall within walking distance. There’s even a small gym nearby if you really can’t do without gym. There are 3 halal restaurants within 5min walk distance from the apartment. The room I got was spacious and well designed in my opinion. The pillars are made into a full body mirror which came as a surprise to me. The room got all that I needed for my week-long stay. The Internet wasn’t stable enough for video calls. Bring some ear plugs cos the quality of the walls are really thin. Service from the owner was professional and really prompt. This is critical in this line of business. This owner’s apartments appear to be much more in demand. (I gave up on another apartment by another owner and came here instead. The other owner in another block was a complete disappointment. That’s why I was happy to have found such a professional owner.) Overall, can’t ask for more with this apartment at this rate. Definitely beyond my expectation. 👍

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay ! The location was very convenient, just a few steps from xinghai park. The security system was top-notch, ensuring peace of mind throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free, and the hotel maintained a high standard of cleanliness. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! By messaging ChatGPT

I've stayed here many times, and I came back again during the May Day holiday. The room rate was a bit higher than before, but the overall environment is still great, and the service attitude is excellent. The location is also very convenient, and I was very happy with the room and its complete facilities. It was a little pricey during the May Day holiday, but the room rates in the area were all pretty similar anyway.

We needed three beds for three people for a 2-night, 3-day stay, and we booked an ocean view room at a really good price. I had seen reviews saying it was a bit dated, so I was prepared to overlook that considering the price, but perhaps because I'm not that picky, it was actually quite fine. The water quality was good, the beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was cool, and best of all, the large refrigerator was the best. The location seems better than Zhongshan Square; there are plenty of amenities right below the accommodation, such as a large supermarket, 24-hour store, convenience store, and cafe, and I liked that you could scan and pick up deliveries on the first floor. Check-in is on the 8th floor, and if you stay on a high floor, it will be convenient as there are separate elevators for the lower and upper floors. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Dalian with friends next time.

I arrived in Benxi before the National Day holiday to visit the hotel. It seemed to be the off-season, as there were hardly any people there. It would probably be crowded in the summer to escape the heat. The evenings were a bit chilly and very quiet. I was woken up by roosters crowing in the morning, which had a unique charm. The courtyard is perfect for bringing a small dog, although the neighbor's dog, Wangcai, was a bit too enthusiastic, haha. I don't know if there's a problem with the water pressure in the room, but the water flow was extremely low; it took forever to fill a toothbrush cup.
