I would definitely recommend staying here. They were able to help us book all of our tickets and call taxis. The hotel staff went above and beyond to help us.

Great location!

My husband really enjoyed our stay in Beijing. Hotel Kapok is centrally located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. About a 30-60 minute drive to PEK (depending on traffic) and 60-90 minute drive to the Great Wall Mutianyu. The hotel breakfast was really good and had a variety of options. Staff was helpful and friendly!

Very close to Forbidden city and shopping malls. Staff were very helpful. Room was neat. Room was hot in the evening and night as aircon chillness was sufficient.

very near Forbidden City and main shopping areas, tons of shopping, entertainment, food options. The building was renovated based on an old building, as a result, the facilities, layout, etc. are just acceptable.

Everything was perfect but the property had terrible side and rear views and so the building is covered with a giant metal lattice.

Die Lage des Hotels überragend. Einrichtung alt und gebraucht, das einzig gute war das Bett. Personal insgesamt sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sogar über das normale hinaus. Ausnahme das Personal am ersten Abend eine Katastrophe. Wollten über dubiose Kanäle mir für die verbotene Stadt Tickets besorgen. Die Dame am nächsten Morgen hat das ruckzuck erledigt ohne dubiose Mittelmänner. Schlimmster Punkt: ich habe gefragt ob es ein Nichtraucherhotel ist, die Antwort war ja, daraufhin habe ich gebeten , sie sollen doch bitte mit dem Herren aus dem Nebenzimmer sprechen: offene Tür durchgehend am rauchen, die ganze Etage hat nach Rauch gerochen. Das Personal konnte sich nicht durchsetzen (Aussage: das interessiert den Kunden nicht 😂)

Correcto y buena ubicación

La habitación era amplia. Había 3 armarios, escritorio, sillón, cama bastante cómoda, y el baño que era súper grande y estaba dividido en 3 zonas. Además, todas las bebidas del minibar son gratuitas. El desayuno es buffet, si eres occidental puede que no sepas qué elegir de la selección, pero para lo que son los desayunos asiáticos es un buffet bastante variado (dulce, salado, tostadas, café, zumo...). Se nota que el hotel no es nuevo, pero en general está en buen estado y lo recomendaría por su comodidad y ubicación. Como puntos débiles a mejorar destacaría que: en la habitación hay mesa de escritorio pero no silla (por lo que para trabajar no es muy práctico, si estás poco en la habitación o vas por ocio no es tan importante) y la mayoría del personal apenas habla inglés (ya que es un hotel frecuentado sobre todo por locales al parecer) por lo que no pueden aconsejarte ni darte indicaciones porque no te entienden, aunque es cierto que son muy amables y sí que me llamaron un taxi para ir al aeropuerto (pero dudas más concretas no te las resuelven).

A conveniently located hotel that could be better

Hotel is in a good location near Forbidden City and Wangfujing, although nearest subway is 15-20 mins walk. Free soft drinks in mini-bar is a plus. Room is spacious with a large closet and a attached small bamboo garden patio that you can sit outdoors and relax. Bedding is firm and comfortable. Overall impression is that the hotel looks dated and not well maintained as one may expect from seeing the photos at the Hotel.com website. Room is not very clean as we found hairs around the wash basin. Had to be very careful taking shower as water may easily overflow out of the shallow shower tray area into bathroom.
