Siye Homestay (Sanlitun Gongti Branch)

We booked this homestay from 29 November to 5 December for 2 adults and 3 children. We arrived at midnight on 1 December, and the host was very kind to wait for us until past midnight and guide us on how to use the controls in the apartment. The kids loved the two-storey layout, and each of them had a comfortable place to sleep. The bathtub was also a great bonus. Although there are some signs of wear and tear in the apartment, it did not affect our stay at all. There is a convenience store just downstairs, as well as Chagee. There are also several eateries nearby that stay open late for supper. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Taikoo Li and Sanlitun SOHO, where there are even more places to eat and shop. Overall, we had a wonderful experience staying here. Thank you once again!

Room is big and spacious when we can easily opened 3 luggage for packing. The home owner is very prompt in responding to our queries and they are very friendly, helpful and assist us alot to ensure our comfortable stay. Food options are plenty and owner also share a list of places to visit. A shopping mall is also within mins walking distance from homestay. As we are a big family of 5 pax, the only disadvantage is the limited hot water for showering. Other than that, everything else is smooth and well. Will visit again if given the chance and a big thank you to the owner for their great help during our stay. 😊 Ps: sorry, didnt manage to take any pic of the room 😟but the room given to us was similar to the pic available in their website

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.

Very good location , subway station only 5 min by walk and convenient store on the 1st flore of the building They clean the room everyday for you ! The only thing is the windows in the bathroom, if you use it at night with light you will awaken everyone in the room . Really recommend, clean, friendly , and helpful!

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!
