Fodor's "It remains in a fabulous location for sightseeing (a few blocks from the East Gate of the Forbidden City), the service is good, and the price is right." Full review
Travel + Leisure "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." Full review
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."
DK Eyewitness "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."
