Homestays in Beijing

Lindsay United States

This place is adorable! They served us a glass kettle of hot fresh tea on arrival. We took a taxi from PEK for about 300 CNY. My WeChat scanner acted up, so they popped in the taxi and payed it right away then added the exact amount to my bill. That could have been so stressful, so I was so so grateful! The staff were all very kind and worked to accommodate the communication barrier throughout our stay including helping us understand some local things that tourists might not get. It really is like walking into very special space. The entrance is the dining area with beautiful dried flowers hanging, trees, and fresh planted flowers for centers. They have a low tech yard space, so our kids entertained themselves for a bit. It’s actually bigger than I expected. There are probably 7-11 guest rooms, maybe? They have them situated in a way there there’s 3 separate outdoor spaces, so you could be close to people or find a quiet spot. The guest room area in like a long L with courtyards separating, so they are spread out. Great for privacy, but queen rooms and twin rooms are not next door if that’s what you’re imagining. BONUS - They had traditional clothing for borrowing for free, and they said you could take them to the wall for pictures if desired. A couple of notes - This is going to be a little different for people not used to Asia. Western toilets in the rooms, which is great! One of our bathrooms had the curtain around the shower next to the toilet. Separated by the curtain, but wet room style so it might get wet in the room if you just showered. Very normal, so don’t be irritated. Beds were like a thick futon style mattress on a raised platform, so not as firm as a futon on the floor and not as soft as a mattress on box spring. Breakfast was very Asian style with veggies, eggs, rice, and soup. They had steam buns, too! The veg was so good! We loved it. Coffee was purchased separately at the coffee shop. We got an amazing Cappuccino and Latte for 72 CNY together.

The quality of amenities is unbelievably good, the location of the hotel next to Dongsi Street is imo the best location in Beijing. The room was spacy, the cushions were ergonomic, and because of the mattress, I had one of the best sleeps from all the travels I did so far (I travel a lot). The hotel Manager is kind and friendly, hospitable and very motivated to learn more English or speak it better. There is a tea café in the lobby where you'll sure have your best tea cup in Beijing. Highly recommended hotel and definitely staying there the next time I visit Beijing.
