"Said to be the former residence of the infamous Qing dynasty eunuch, Li Lianying, Bamboo Garden was the first major courtyard-style hotel in Beijing and is among the most beautiful."

Insight Guides
"Simple, clean rooms open onto a classical Chinese garden, with a great location close to the Drum Tower. What it lacks in facilities is more than made up for in atmosphere."
Lonely Planet
"The intimate, leafy courtyard at Bamboo Garden is appealing, even if the rooms, as in many of Běijīng’s courtyard hotels, can’t quite match the elegant, hushed atmosphere."

Rough Guide
"The main feature here is an extraordinary courtyard overloaded with ornament, including two water features and a forest of red lanterns."
Time Out
"This homely place around a converted courtyard is a challenge to find, but persevere if you want the hutong experience at a cut-price rate."
