Long-Stay in Shenzhen?
8 Serviced Apartments With Kitchens, Monthly Rates, Laundry & a Workspace — Built for Relocations & 1-4 Week Stays

We open the long-stay list with the serviced apartment that scores highest on the whole list — Ascott Fengyishan Shenzhen scores 9.6/10 from around 702 real guest reviews. It's an Ascott property in the Silver Lake Ecological Zone on the Longgang side, with genuinely spacious residential rooms, mountain views, and a full kitchen and washer in the room. Guests say the same things over and over: the rooms are clean and large, the setting is quiet and resort-like, the staff look after you well, and it's ideal for a long stay when you want room to breathe. The honest catch: it's in Longgang in the east, far from the Futian and Nanshan CBDs — work in the city centre means a fairly long metro ride or drive out — but you trade that for bigger rooms and a lighter rate than in town, which suits anyone working out toward Longgang or who wants calm over a central location.

This is the midscale serviced apartment that scores at a peak and offers strong value — Citadines Universiade Center Longgang Shenzhen scores 9.5/10 from around 600 real guest reviews. It's a Citadines property (Ascott group) with 138 rooms, studios to suites of 35-70 sqm, each with a balcony and full home appliances, and there's a washer. For a budget-minded long stay, this is the one that gives you apartment-grade space and facilities at a light rate. Guests praise the clean rooms, full appliances that genuinely work, attentive staff, and the value. The honest catch: it's in Longgang in the east, by the Universiade Sports Centre, far from the Futian and Nanshan CBDs, so work in the centre means a Line 3 metro ride in — best for anyone working out toward Longgang or who wants a bigger room at a lighter rate.

This is the long-stay pick in central Futian that strikes the balance between city living and apartment comfort — Fraser Suites Shenzhen scores 9.3/10 from around 750 real guest reviews. It's a Fraser property in Huaqiang North (the famous electronics-market quarter) in central Futian, with 211 units from studios to penthouses, each with a kitchenette and in-room washer/dryer, plus a rooftop swimming pool and a sky bar. Guests love the location flanked by two metro lines, the malls and restaurants within a 500-metre walk, the clean well-equipped rooms, and the city-view rooftop pool — ideal for a long stay when you still want to be in the heart of the city. The honest catch: it's a kitchenette rather than a full home kitchen, so heavy cooking may be a stretch; Huaqiang North is busy by day; and the rate is higher than the Longgang options.

This is the long-stay pick on the Nanshan side that nails everyday convenience — Ascott Raffles City Shenzhen scores 9.2/10 from around 659 real guest reviews. It's an Ascott property atop the Raffles City mall in central Nanshan, the tech side of the city, with 182 rooms from studios to three-bedroom, each with a full kitchen and in-room washer/dryer. What guests rate most is that it sits above a mall with a supermarket and food court downstairs — ride the lift down and carry groceries straight up to your kitchen, which is ideal for a long stay where you'll cook for yourself. Guests praise the large clean rooms, the working washer/dryer, the easy-to-get-around Nanshan location, and the attentive staff. The honest catch: it's on the Nanshan side, so work in Futian or Luohu means a metro ride across town, and as an in-city location the rate is higher than the Longgang options.

This is the long-stay pick in the central Futian CBD with the biggest review base on the list — Somerset Grandview Shenzhen scores 9.1/10 from around 907 real guest reviews. It's a Somerset property by the Futian Convention Center and Shenzhen Golf Club, with 192 rooms from studios to three-bedroom, each with a full kitchen, washer/dryer and a private balcony, and the in-building facilities are loaded: gym, sauna, jacuzzi, mini-theatre and a children's playroom. Guests praise the large rooms with full kitchens, the home-like feel, the central CBD location within walking reach of Lines 1/3, and facilities so complete you needn't go out — ideal for a relocating family. The honest catch: it's a building that's been open a while, so the finish isn't as new as the brand-new openings, and as a central CBD location it isn't the cheapest on the list.

This is the long-stay pick on the Shekou side for anyone who wants a bayside feel and an international community — Fraser Place Shekou Shenzhen scores 9.2/10 from around 446 real guest reviews. It's a Fraser property on a hillside above Shekou Harbour, with 232 units from studios to four-bedroom penthouses, each with a kitchen and a lounge corner. The draw is that it's a walk to the Sea World quarter — an expat hub with international restaurants and supermarkets — and it's near the ferry pier with direct boats to Hong Kong and Macau. Guests love the bay views, the calm oasis-in-Shekou feel, the real in-unit kitchens, and the walk to Western restaurants and supermarkets that suits an international resident. The honest catch: it's in Shekou at the far western end of Nanshan, far from the Futian CBD (a long Line 2 metro ride in), and the review base is smaller than others on the list.

This is the newly opened pick on the Nanshan side for tech workers who want fresh rooms with a bay view — Somerset Wanxia Shenzhen scores 9.0/10 from around 100 real guest reviews. It's a newly opened Somerset property in Houhai, the tech zone of Nanshan, with 214 eco-friendly units in one- to three-bedroom layouts, each with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The selling point is the bay views looking across to Hong Kong, and a location right where the tech firms and startups cluster. Early guests praise the fresh clean rooms, the good sound insulation, the real working kitchens, and the well-connected tech-side location — ideal if you work around Houhai or Qianhai. The honest catch: it's only just opened, so the review base is still small (around 100) next to the others on the list, so if you want lots of reviews before deciding it isn't there yet, and it's on the Nanshan side, so work in Futian means a metro ride across town.

We close the list with the newest opening, with the freshest rooms, in the business quarter rising fastest in the city — Lanson Place Grand Bayview Qianhai Shenzhen opened in September 2025 and scores around 9.0/10 at launch. It's a Lanson Place property designed for international professionals relocating to Qianhai, the free-trade zone and new financial district on the Nanshan side. The units have a full kitchen, a washer and complete facilities that make them feel like home — early guests note that the room is fully equipped with kitchenware and a washing machine that really makes it feel like home, and the facilities are excellent. It's a fit if you're relocating into finance or tech in Qianhai and want a brand-new place. The honest catch: it's only just opened, so the review base is still very small (a launch period), and the long-term picture is still to come; Qianhai is a new district where the area isn't as lively as established Futian / Nanshan yet; and it's upper-end pricing.
