Hotel Kapok Beijing

Awesome Location. Still a Lot of Person but still much less then Others. Regarding History. So incredible awesome and you can walk on it..

Beijing on the biz it was. According to the map it seems the main city center attractions are in walking distance during my very limited free time. So it was and also one of these western fast food chains was in walking distance, no need to negotiate with the taxi drivers. Arrived at PEK airport in the early morning, it´s absolutely necessary to have you´re hotel details written in Chinese letters to show it to the taxi drivers. They do not talk in English and can´t read western style. Expect roundabout 100.00 Yuan and do not accept any driver without a meter running.||Early at the hotel and early Check-In was ok, a real plus here. Step out of the hotel to the left there are just a good couple of meters to go for Tiananmen and the historic area around, to the right is more non-touristic and also a good number of restaurants. Room was spacious, also the bathroom, glass only between room and bathroom and it was clean for the first view, but not really everywhere when you go en detail. Everything from the fridge was free with my rate, one more plus here. Slept well, some noise from other hotel guests was to notice, but nothing really bad. No hotel breakfast according to my schedule for the next day, really nice staff during Check-Out also, later on back at Capital airport, taxameter cab only, roundabout the same fare. All in a recommendable place to stay with my intentions.

The hotel is in a good location with great restaurants on same street and nearby.|We had breakfast included in price, the breakfast was a good blend of western and Asian food.|There is a smoking room right in main lobby which is heavily used by the smokers.|The rooms are supposed to be smoke free but from elevator and hallway you could notice smoke smell.|The rooms are a bit crowded and our view was over a court yard with rooms under neath where people sat out and smoked. Not possible to open windows.|The bathroom was large enough but tended to not be as clean as it could be. Shower area had mold on tiles grout.|They do leave shower slippers since shower floors r slippery but they r old and have been used by many. Don’t recommend using them.|Hotel is close to most walking areas and shopping|Approx 1 hour from airport depending on traffic

I was disappointed in this hotel. With the high reviews, I was expecting a lot more. Hotel Kapok is old and outdated. It was definitely time for a renovation. The room was old and wasn't cleaned to a high standard. The bathroom was a bit gross, with stains and dirt on every surface. I could also hear noise from the street and other rooms. Definitely not ideal. The hotel was also quite far from any train station - around a 15-20 minute walk which can be difficult with luggage The staff did speak good English and gave me a card with their hotel location in Chinese, along with a tourist map. This was incredibly helpful! Breakfast was the standard breakfast buffet. They did have a chef cooking fresh eggs to order which was a plus. When I checked out, I asked if someone could help me get a taxi to Beijing North Station. The lady requested a taxi, gave me a registration number and told me they should be there in 5-10 minutes. I stood on the street and had to get into a taxi who spoke no English. I wasn't sure I'd end up in the right place. Next time I'm in Beijing, I'll pass on Hotel Kapok and look into other options. It was just a little bit too disappointing.

We stayed here for 4 nights in September. We took a taxi from the airport and paid about 400 yuan. Check in was smooth. The room we got was on 3rd floor. The room was clean and smell fresh. Basic coffee and tea facility. Soft drinks in fridge was free for consumption during our stay. The bedlinen was clean too. The toilet is a decent size but seems slippery. They do provide bath slippers which I didn’t use during my stay. The hotel could improve by fixing a shower curtain as the shower water tends to splash to the other part of the toilet. They do provide toiletries, hair dryer and towels. The housekeeping does a decent job in making up the room everyday. The front office staffs were helpful. There are a few of them who could speak English so that was helpful, especially a staff named ‘Winters’. There is a convenient store just next to the hotel. The are a lot of eateries opposite the hotel which is convenient. We didn’t try out the hotel breakfast so no comment on that.

Stayed for 7 nights at level 3, clean and spacious room, clean bed , complimentary 4 cans beer, 2 cans of soft drinks + 3 bottles of 1 ltr mineral water daily, toiletries , towels and hairdryer provided. Front desk was very helpful , alert and efficient. Very good location, 10 ~15mins walk to Forbidden city , 10 mins walk to Wang fu jing shopping street , 15 mins walk to train. Our bf wasnt included, had our bf at opposite eateries instead for nice local food. Highly recommended this hotel.

I recently stayed at this hotel with my family for two nights. I picked this hotel based on its proximity to the Forbidden City in central Beijing. What I liked was that the location is very convenient, the room was large, and the staff understood English. This being said, the rooms are quite dated and there is a very musty smell as you walk around the central corridor of the hotel. Our room came with a King bed and a sofa bed. The main bed was great, but the sofa bed's design was strange... it felt as if you were sleeping on a wooden table - my kids ended jumping into the main bed with us at night. As well, I found a huge cockroach crawling around the bathroom walls as I was taking a shower... GROSS. This is a decent option if you are on a budget and want a nice central location - I will look into other options the next time I go to Beijing.

When I come back to Beijing, this is the place I would stay. I am almost not giving a good review, so this hotel is kept under secret. Great room, they provide you with shoes, shaving kit, comb, dental kit, shower flip flops and all you need. Great breakfast for the price as well. I even got free mini bar with beer included, even though I don't drink. Bottled water, soda... Hotel close to everything! Loved it!
