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 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.
