My husband and I spent 4 days in Beijing before transferring to Tianjin to take the Diamond Princess on a cruise up the Asian coast, over to the Bering Sea and then down to coast of Alaska to Vancover. We spend our time in Beijing at the Hotel Kapok. It was a first class hotel--not huge, but very clean, quiet... More

Having been a regular visitor to Beijing (this was about my 40th visit) I wanted something other than a standard business hotel. We chose this off the internet and did our booking on-line. Due to problem with the standard room we originally booked we were upgraded to a small suite which was fantastic. All room facilities were modern and well... More

We booked this hotel through Agoda (I think it offers the best deals for hotel bookings in Asia). Our rate for 4 nights was US 131.75 a night for a courtyard room including breakfast. However like a previous review, there was an issue with the power on the floor to our room when we checked in so they helped us... More

I really wanted to like Hotel Kapok - the location is fantastic and the staff are friendly. However, when I first checked in they let me know there was an issue with the electricity in my room and sent me over to another nearby hotel (Novotel - which ended up being less convenient/nice than Hotel Kapok). Then when I returned... More

The hotel is very well located. Just near the Wang Fu Jing street. Rooms are nice and clean. Transparent glass wall, no door, bath and toilet..... Bed is nice. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Lack of nice place to drink coffee in the lobby due to small enterance area. Reasonable internet service. Breakfast is OK but as all Asian hotels... More

We stayed there for 5 nights in May 2012, including May Day (May 1) in which the city fills up with an additional 4 million people. The location of the hotel could not be better. Walking distance to Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Night Market, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. The service was impeccable. The staff (who speak English) are extremely... More

Stayed here for 4 nights. The building is modern. Rooms are clean with wood floors and modern bathrooms. Staff is friendly. Payed $100 US per night. Lively set of restaurants are located across the street. There is a Chinese version of a 7 eleven a few doors down, as well as a massage/spa place (Dragonfly) which charges 168 RMB for... More

Hotel in a good location for access to Forbidden City and night market. Staff were friendly and helpfull at all times. Rooms good size with firm beds and a good sized bathroom. Restaurant

If you are looking for a nice boutique (yet not perfectly tidy) hotel which is ideally located in Beijing (nearly within the forbidden city, close to Wangfujing street and the night market), then the Kapok is the one you are looking for. If you are looking for a more confidential place (Red Capital Club?), or for a hotel where everything... More
