Dorms could be a good value, but I stayed there in private ensuite rooms which are very poor value. A Jinjiang Inn shares the same location, it offers a far better option and shows how much everything is overpriced at Sleepy Inn. For instance the coffee is at the same price than the complete breakfast at the Jinjiang !!!!! more

The hotel is located in a very interesting area of Beijing. It is close to the historical "hutongs" and to the northern lakes with lots of bars and restaurants. It absolutely not luxurious, but rooms are fine and very clean, and the common space (where you will find two PCs and wi fi connection) is cozy enough. Here you can... more

Nice hostel, but best was quiet location not far from public transport and right by the lake, so very peaceful. Rooms are OK, nothing special, beds very hard even by China standards as they are wood with small mattress on top.

Nevertheless we found out that the area is really nice,... more

We would definitely recomm. that you sought out advice from the Inn hosts on things such as local food, shopping strips and basic vocab. to get around. During our 2 separate stays in July,... more
