I just completed a stay at Hotel Kapok and I cannot say enough good things, especially in comparison with some of the more grotty Chinese hotels in which I had stayed on this trip. Modern, interesting architecture, great location, good English from the staff, and very friendly service. Plus the price is right! I got a great deal on the... more

We arrived 7 am in the morning, and even we had not informed them in advance, two rooms were provided immediately without a question. Also, when we left, we were allowed to keep the room for couple extra hours (3 hours). Don't be put-off by the facade, it is a little dull, but inside is totally different. The rooms were... more

We really loved this unique hotel! Once again tripadvisor proved very reliable because I booked this hotel on the basis of recommendations and its amazing value for money. We stayed for 5 nights after decamping from our conference hotel further out of the city. The hotel's website makes the Kapok look a little minimalist and cool, but in fact it... more

I booked this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews, as it was rated amongst much more expensive hotels, and was impressed with everything from the moment I arrived. All the staff I encountered spoke English well, the reception and bar area were modern and welcoming and the rooms...gorgeous. I had a courtyard room and although the courtyard was facing into... more

The good: Clean, modern, free (and fast) internet, great amenities and very comfortable! Staff were friendly and rooms were nice and spacious. The not-so-good: Location is not as central for sight-seeing, although it is within walking distance to Wangfujing and the Forbidden City. Hailing a taxi is not as easy and the taxi drivers don't seem to know where this... more

Very nice location. Very nice rooms. Great environment. Check pictures enclosed. more

Had a 2 night stay at Kapok in April. Was pleasantly upgraded to the suite and it was simply amazing! Huge room and great bathroom with a massive bathtub and powerful rain shower head. The bed was comfy and there was even a desktop computer with free internet to use. Lights were a little dim, but other than that it... more

Stayed here 4 nights beginning May 17. I've been to Beijing several times and this hotel is a gem for the money, less than $100 USD. Modern in design yet functionally comfortable it makes one feel safely tucked away. The bed and bath were both clean and comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, and the little garden outside the window... more

This hotel cannot be criticized for location, however, when we arrived at 1am they had given our room away even though we had called from the plane in Hong Kong to reassure them we were coming! After some arguing, shouting and requests to see/speak to their manager, they managed to find us an upgraded room (though they had already stated... more
