We stayed in Bamboo Garden Hotel during the Beijing leg of our China Tour primarily because we don't want generic looking hotels so much and we were not disappointed. It is located in the Hotungs and not very "famous" with taxi drivers but they were always helpful and we were able to go back no problem with help of the... more

I really enjoyed our stay in the Bamboo Garden Hotel and on my next trip in January 2009 I will also be staying again. Thank you very much for your kindness and the warm hospitality – especially the help with our visas! Ciao and kisses from the children! more

Like a beautiful bamboo oasis in the middle of urban Beijing, the Bamboo Garden Hotel is an authentic, beautiful and cozy place to hang your hat. The asian inspired rooms are full of comfortable chairs, couches and come equipped with a computer, flat screen tv and meticulously clean bathrooms. The mattresses are a bit hard, but the super soft bedding... more

Bamboo Garden hotel is located 5-7 minutes to Gulou subway station in a hutong. One can reach the bell and drum towers and the Houhai Lake in less than 10 minutes walking.

Also, most guests are independent travelers. We did not encounter any tour groups. The hotel restaurant is excellent and cheap. We had a semi-deluxe room, which... more

I recently spent 3 nights at the Bamboo Garden Hotel with my husband and teenage son. The taxi driver struggled to find the hotel & had to stop to get directions. As we searched for the hotel I was concerned as the area was run down and known as the hutongs. However, as soon as we arrived we knew we... more

I couldn't agree more with Greystones 23 who took the words right out of my mouth. My wife and I also stayed there in April and the only thing I would add to Greystones comments would be that the hotel courtyard was also beautiful with the cherry and apple blossom in full bloom. There are ponds and waterfalls with goldfish,... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in April 2008 and found it a little oasis in a melee of noise, smells and sounds. We would certainly recommend this hotel.The staff were friendly and laughed at our attempts to try to say hello and thank you in Chinese but did try to help with our pronunciations. The rooms were clean and... more
