"When lit up at night, it resembles a giant lantern, one of the traditional Chinese elements that are strongly represented in the design of this 89-room hotel."

Rough Guide
"A swish boutique hotel ten minutes’ walk from the Forbidden City, with clean lines, glass walls and a bamboo theme giving it a distinctive, modish look."

"A stone's throw away from the Forbidden City and Tian'an Men Square, Hotel Kapok's grid-like exterior is eye-catching, as is the bamboo-filled reception area."

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."
