"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." Full review
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."
