Bamboo Garden Hotel - Peking

This is a local-feeling place. Clean, big rooms, lovely back courtyard. Not new by any means, but you can stay at the big Western hotels if you want that. The classic amenities are a throwback to the old China but kept fresh and clean here.

The Bamboo Garden is an oasis; despite the noise of subway construction on the main street, we could hear none of it in the hotel. In room internet was spotty at best, and the claim of tempurpedic mattresses is untrue. We got a standard uncomfortable mattress; the best the hotel could do was provide another comforter which we used as a mattress pad. […] Towels are non-absorbent, but as a plus they do dry quickly. Despite bitterly cold weather, the room was warm. Pročitajte više

Classical Chinese courtyard hotel with an internal bamboo garden. Tranquil environment with traditional style rooms around the courtyard and modern rooms in hotel section. Deluxe suite: Booked standard suite but free upgrade. Deluxe suite (50m²) comfortably fitted 2 bunk beds which had good support. King bed was typical Asian comfort. Heating and bedding […] was fine. Chinese style furniture with ample storage space. No long bath. Shower ok: ample hot water but not powerful. Room had a big window opening onto a quiet street. In room electric kettle, safe, fridge (not very cold). Service: No complaints. Room tidied daily. Price: Moderate. Can accommodate 4 persons in 1 room. Food: Didn't eat at hotel. Many eating places nearby. 京城一锅 along Jiuguloudajie serves yummy lamb hotpot at dinner time (popular with locals) and v. cheap dumplings/wonton for breakfast. Convenience: <5 mins on foot to Line 2 Subway station. Direct bus to Forbidden City/Wangfujin, Temple of Heaven/Pearl Market. Nearby convenience store and McDonald's. Neighbourhood: Felt safe. 15 min stroll to Houhai and Qianhai (lovely day or night). Many lakeside restaurants. Kaorouji near Yindingqiao serves delicious lamb/beef hotplate and lamb kebabs. Nearby: Don't miss Yandaxie Str (pedestrian shopping str). Room Tip: Deluxe suites have traditional feel and plenty of room. Hotel rooms on upper floors overlooking the garden also nice but no lift. Overall: Good hotel, traditional ambience; perhaps not the best value. Pročitajte više

Difficult to communicate with Hotel prior to arrival. Transportation from the airport to the hotel was not accommodated as advertised. Hotel staff unclear about services offered from the hotel.

Really nice hotel in a traditional Courtyard arrangement. Have an authentic look and a nice garden. Rooms are small but nicely equipped, you even have PC in your room with the complimentary Internet access. Restaurant is on site, mostly Chinese cuisine. About 10 mins walk from the nearest subway station, taxis won’t enter the last 150m stretch of Hutong […] street but the arranged trip cars will. There is a small parking in the courtyard. If you are looking for a traditional look&feel and all modern comforts this hotel is for you. Pročitajte više

Location is close to the subway which may bring you to many attractions in 20-30 minutes. Hotel has beautiful quate rich garden. Staff is pleasant with some English. however do not rely on their services on your request. Example, in the morning we asked receptionist to order taxi to train station at 5pm, OK OK. At 5 pm they told us that hotel does not […] call taxi from hotel, this is very expensive for them. Porter came out with us around the corner and we were picking up a car for 20 minutes, and in rush hour it takes more than an hour. Never order any tour and excurtion from this hotel due to significant overprice. Nataliya and Olga, New York. Pročitajte više

Convenient location. Beautiful Garden. But hotel card needs a more readable direction for taxis (too small chinese letters).

We loved this courtyard hotel and were glad that we chose to stay there for 3 days. The Bamboo Garden Hotel is a sprawling complex with many low buildings (think chalet bungalows in sea side resort but tweak it into the chinese courtyard concept). The lobby block was closest to the entrance of the hotel which is nestled inside the Xiao Shi Qiao Hutong […] made of a long narrow road. We stayed at level two of the Ting song Lou (Listening Pines Block) which is further inside the hotel grounds, away from the alley and the car porch area where vehicles may idle while the tour vans or cars waited for the guests in the morning or evenings, past the restaurant facing the courtyard garden. There is free wifi in our room but it was rather weak. I could only get a strong signal if I sat at the window balcony area or near the room door/toilet area. We liked the quiet, relaxing and peaceful location of our rooms and the courtyard garden with the rock landscaping, mini bamboo forest and the lovely pine trees right outside our block. There is a pond (which is not so nice smelling) at the other side of the garden and I would not recommend at the blocks over that area near the pond unless the water is actually changed and flowing. Also, during our stay, they were constructing a massage room around that area of the garden. While they had the work done during daytime so it wasn't noisy at all during the evening and night, we could smell traces of paint solvent from the construction when we walked past the rock landscape in the morning. The hotel is around 10-15 minutes’ walk to the Gulou subway stn and Andingmen subway stn where the Nanluogu Alley is located is one stop away from the Gulou Station. Walking Directions 1: Turn right at the hotel exit, walk along the hutong alley till you hit the main road with an archway that reads Bamboo Garden in chinese. (i) MacDonalds, Drum and Clock Towers Standing in the direction facing the main road, on the right of the archway is MacDonalds where Pročitajte više

A lovely simple courtyard hotel located about 10 min away from the Guloudajie subway station, close to the Drum tower and slightly north of Houhai lakes.There is not much traffic in that street so it makes it very difficult to find a taxi there. You can catch one though at the end of the street next to the MacDonald. Our room, 2nd floor over Courtyard, […] was roomy and clean (chinese style decoration), and the mattresses were very comfortable (that can be an issue in China). There was a computer in our room for us to use, but I chose to use mine (better if you are not familiar with Chinese Windows...). We only ate a twice at the restaurant, dinner and breakfast, and the food was good. Nice hotel to get a feel for the Hutong life. Pročitajte više

An oasis of peace in the heart of Beijing. Attentive staff, hotel with bags of character.

Very traditional. Clean and helpful. The restaurant was marginal, but we were there in off season. The staff was very helpful in arranging tours and taxi service. They were also thoughtful in allowing us a late checkout on the day we were leaving and keeping out luggage while we did some last minute touring.

This was my second stay at the Bamboo Garden. As was the first, the stay was an outstanding experience. The property has a fascinating history, if you are interested in that sort of information. The location is very central to the Forbidden City, Drum Tower and Behai Park. There were lots of eating establishments nearby besides the restaurant in the […] hotel, and an convenience store and ATM were around the corner. The 60 CNY breakfast buffet (including made to order omelets and fresh fruits) was not to be passed up. The hotel provides a PC in each room and internet access in the room at no charge, This is great for catching up on communications with family and friends. The rooms are charming and comfortable. They are decorated in Chinese Ming style and have old antique phones, which do work! The bathrooms are Western-style with all the usual amenities. Its central location is great for touring the treasures of central Beijing. Our guides from The China Guide were able to easily pick us up and start our daily touring with no travel time into the heart of the city. I did not have much time to spend in the beautiful courtyard gardens. I can say that it is amazing how quite it is; you'd never know you were in the heart of the largest city in the world. I very highly recommend the Bamboo Garden Hotel. Pročitajte više

Wonderful location within walking distance to Lake and shopping area. Quiet garden behind walls. Decorated in Chinese style. Nice resturant onsite but many others a short walk. Only complaint was could not figure how to turn down heat in November. Will use the hotel again and again.

An hotel with a soul

Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

A beautiful leafy courtyard venue off a traditional hutong. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The room was big and beautiful. Service attentive and staff considerate. (Language issues were jointly negotiated.) Food in the restaurant was very good, and functioned as a good base. (But do explore the rest of Beijing.) Internet service […] a plus, but sometimes inconsistent. The Great Wall trip the hotel arranged with an English-speaking Chinese guide was a highlight. Overall we felt it was a Chinese hotel in a classic courtyard setting modified to be comfortable to Western tastes. A good mixture of rest and comfort and being in a hutong -- the best of both worlds. Pročitajte više

Our first impression of this hotel was not great: we arrived after dark on a day where air quality in Beijing was terrible. The hotel was hard to find, even with my Beijing-native husband communicating in Chinese with the driver. Then when we arrived the front desk clerk didn't even offer a word of welcome--in Chinese or English. But the place grew […] on us and we were glad we stayed there. The room was small, with a king sized bed. This was tight for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 young kids) but it worked. The heat did not adjust as well as we would have liked and it was much too hot and dry the first night, but then we realized the windows could be open to cool things off. The bathroom was modern and well-appointed. The hotel restaurant was fine: not great, not terrible. Daytime front desk staff speak good English and were quite helpful. The overall hotel complex, with courtyard and gardens, were very nice and probably would be more so in spring or summer. True, there's more cement than in a real courtyard house, but it's got a more traditional feel than a big chain hotel. Despite the initial difficulty finding the hotel (set back within a relatively modern hutong neighborhood), we came to appreciate its convenience. There's a conveneince store and a pharmacy at the entrance of the hutong on the left where you can get water, snacks, fruit and sundries at local prices. If you turn right at the entrance of the hutong, you walk down a main street with many other hutongs off to the side, as well as restaurants (Chinese, Vietnamese, other) and small shops within a 10 minute walk, and the old Drum Tower, and other sights within 15-20 minutes walk. This hotel is not for everyone, but if you are a bit adventurous and have good directions to the hotel, this can be an interesting place to stay. Pročitajte više

While I wanted to try living out the old way, I am kinda disappointed when we arrived, I felt that they should have made a very nice Chinese garden. The garden was not spectacular or inviting. The restaurant was expensive and the food is not good. The people were not that friendly. It was difficult to find the hotel. I am glad we booked for one night […] only.

20年ほど前から利用し始めて今回で6回目です。四合院に泊まるのが夫婦で気に入っています。昨年と今年は1月の三連休を使っての北京訪問。昨年は部屋をグレードアップしてくれたので嬉しかったのですが、今年も昨年と同じ部屋に入れ感激しました。ホテルから鼓楼や北海公園に徒歩ですぐです。フートンをぶらぶら歩くのが好きなので立地も便利です。ただタクシーは前の道が狭くて入れないということで呼んでくれません。けれど地下鉄の駅が近く、また8号線の駅ももうすぐできるようです。北京を地下鉄で動き回るのにさらに便利になりそうです。

Sehr schönes Hotel in chinesischem Stil, sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung (U-Bahn bzw. zu Fuss knappe Stunde zur verbotenen Stadt). Vermeintlich heruntergekommenes Viertel, in Wirklichkeit aber normale chinesische Innenstadt. Sehr viel schöner, als die Umgebung vermuten lässt. Gutes und preisgünstiges Hotelrestaurant.

Slightly higher priced hotel, but very popular due to the service level, good clean rooms and great atmosphere. The hotel is located near the drum tower and Beihai park. There is a charming porcelain shop next door to the hotel, selling good quality tea mugs, cups and pots at 10% of the rates of the highstreet shops or the airport.

Lorsque nous nous sommes présentés à l'accueil avec ma compagne, la première question qui nous a été posée a été : "êtes-vous mariés ?". A la réponse "non", l'on nous a demandé de dormir dans deux chambres séparées en nous expliquant que c'était la loi en Chine. Cet accueil exécrable s'est poursuivi ensuite. Jamais un sourire, encore moins un bonjour […] de la part des membres du personnel de l'hôtel. La chambre, pourtant une suite, n'était pas digne du confort attendu pour ce type d'établissement : traces d'humidité sur les murs, tapisserie qui se décolle, vue sur un mur en ouvrant la fenêtre, éclairage naturel insignifiant et donc obligation d'allumer toutes les lumières en permanence, etc. Seule l'excellente situation géographique de l'hôtel nous a donné satisfaction. Bilan catastrophique. Pročitajte više

Old villa in historic hutong. Recently modernized with perfect rooms. Rooms are not big, but everything is in its right place.

まずタクシーの運転手にホテルの場所を説明するのが大変でした。有名かと思いきや名前を言ってもわかる運転手さんはいませんでした。中国語で説明するのがめんどくさくて！地下鉄は近いのでいいんですが。 到着した日からパソコンとエアコンと金庫の調子がわるく、出かけている間に治しとくよといったものの、パソコンは帰ってきてもまだおかしくて。 フロントに電話をすると今からいきますといって、その日はそのまま誰もきませんでした。 次の日昨日、今からいくといったのでは？といったメモを残しておきましたが、それにはまったく触れられず。パソコンはさすがに治ってましたが、なんだかなああああという気持ちになりました。

Bar en boos hoe je te woord wordt gestaan. Onvriendelijk, bazig, soms dreigend. Alsof het onze schuld was dat de ketting van de fiets eraf was gelopen.
