WHY CHOOSE THE SLEEPY INN?

Location advantages:

Downtown Hutong Location

Located within the old Beijing town preserved Hutong area，the surrounding Hutong area is amazing not only to the foreigners, but also to Chinese people. As the Hutong is disappearing, this area is protected by the government. It is full of life here. Citizens walking around the lake with their dogs, doing exercises, and performing the Taiji in the morning, if you can feel their common and happy life, then you can feel the real peaceful life of Chinese people, in Beijing. Just go to Hutongs by bike or by walk, to look, to feel and to experience. You shouldn't miss this part.

Excellent Accessibility

Only 7 minutes of walking far away from the subway station and the bus station, and your walk around the lake makes it short, easy access to all the tourist attractions located in the town center by walk, bike, subway or public bus. Subway is very important during your travel in Beijing.

Great Wall

Only 8 minutes by walk between the Sleepy Inn and the bus station terminal to the Great Wall and Ming Tombs. This is the only bus station in Beijing for the Great Wall. Opportunity is also available for you to explore the other wild Great Wall sections through the information and guide of the Sleepy Inn staff.

Attractive Lake or Hutong views

Sleepy Inn has an attractive lakeside location surrounded by many Hutongs and low-rise houses. Most guestrooms have amazing lake views or Hutong views.

Local Life Experience

Numerous Hutongs, old trees, low-rise houses, and the largest local market around the lake allow you to experience the real life of local Beijingners.

Largest Local Market

As the largest market selling daily food, fruits, goods and commodities in Beijing, a guest from the US (Mr. William Patrick) commented that the market is the largest market he saw in the world and is a wonderful experience for him to explore the local life. It is also fun to bargain over prices.

Slow Pace

No traffic jams, no noise, no tall buildings, no TV sets, you could slow down your pace and experience the local life as a local Beijingner rather than a transient tourist. Sitting on the chair on the terrace, drinking one cup of coffee, with one book in your hand in the morning and one bottle of beer at night, you can just enjoy being a local people. For sure, you may want to change your schedule and extend your stay here as most guests did.

Charming Nightlife

Chinese traditional massage, delicious Chinese food (don't forget Beijing Duck and Chinese Hot-pot), interesting bars along the bank of the lake, Beijing snacks served in the old courtyard…all of them are accessible either within a walking distance or easily by bike.

Bar area

Sleepy Inn is only one hundred meters far away from the Houhai Bar Area. There are so many famous restaurants and bars around the lake. Houhai Bar Area is the most famous bar area in Beijing now, and Sanlitun used to the most famous bar street.

Rooms

So many guests at Sleepy Inn don't want to get up in the morning, especially in the Winter, because the beds in the rooms are so comfortable, and it is so quiet in the rooms. What you can only hear in the morning is the singing of the birds in the trees.

We promise you clean rooms at Sleepy Inn.
