Siye Homestay (Sanlitun Gongti Branch)

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this homestay was a huge letdown. The whole place has serious cleanliness and hygiene issues. I would not recommend anybody to stay. From the moment we arrived, the issues were hard to ignore. The room had a strong, musty smell due to visible mould on the walls, ceiling and bathroom, which made the air feel damp and unhealthy. It was clear that ventilation was poor. There’s only 1 small window panel that has netting. The fan provided was damn dusty and dirty which clearly shows the lack of proper cleaning and ventilation. To make things worse, the centralised air conditioning was practically useless — barely any cool air, even when set to the lowest temperature (PS: receptionist claim that the whole building is as such - 27 degree was the lowest the aircon can go, which is even hotter than outside air). Given how hot and humid it was, this made the stay really uncomfortable, especially at night. To make things worse, they advise us to open the window panel for outside air ventilation and said the cleaner can come into our room to close it if it rains when we were out (major concern for safety). Also, there’s only 1 window panel that’s netted. The flooring was cracked in several places, which not only looked terrible but also felt unsafe to walk. For the price we paid, the quality and maintenance of the place were far below expectations. When feedback these issues to the receptionist, they told me they cannot do anything and blamed us for not telling them??? Spent another 1 day to liaise between trip and homestay just to get refunded (PS: no compensation provided by platform/homestay). compensation. Wasted time and effort to go back and forth. Really very disappointed and frustrated especially it was mean to be a birthday trip for our friend. I sincerely hope the owners take these issues seriously and invest in proper repairs and cleaning. Until then, I cannot recommend this homestay to anyone.

It was close to everything and convenient. Safe to leave children. Would be happy to visit again.

I really liked how friendly the staff were and how convenient the location was — it’s very close to the metro station. Communication through WeChat was fast and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The staff were also very kind and assisted us with ordering food delivery. There are many restaurants on the ground floor, and the food was delicious. We will definitely choose this place again!

I stayed at this homestay for 5 nights with 2 other friends. We really enjoyed our stay here! The room looked exactly how it did in the photos provided on the booking online. The decor was really cute, the bedroom and bathroom were spacious, and overall, the homestay was clean and tidy. The host was very friendly and efficient! Any requests we had, she was very quick messaging us on wechat, even in the early hours. The cleaning lady was also very nice and frequently cleaned our rooms. Highly recommend this homestay for an affordable stay in Beijing in a good location 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Stay with Outstanding Hospitality! We had a wonderful experience at this hotel in Beijing! From the very beginning, the host was incredibly helpful and proactive—she contacted us a day before arrival with clear instructions, making the check-in process smooth. Even though our flight was delayed past midnight, she kindly waited for us and ensured we got settled without any hassle. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated in a cozy style. We especially loved the great view of the Workers’ Stadium- it added a nice touch to our stay. The owner also provided thoughtful amenities and drinking water, which made us feel well taken care of. We highly recommend this hotel for its exceptional service, comfort, and attention to detail. Thank you for making our trip to Beijing so pleasant—we’d definitely stay here again!

Location is relatively centralised, with a mini mart right below the hotel. Service provided by the owner was superb, there is no doubt the experience with the owner would be a fruitful one. The check-in process was smooth and the room provides all necessary items with a daily thorough cleaning. Overall, a super pleasant stay in Beijing. 😃
