    Nothing!

    Really beautiful hotel with lovely traditionally decorated rooms that had everything we needed. Great location, directly opposite a beautiful park and, so easy to walk to nearby attractions. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, and the breakfast ladies were so sweet. Would definitely stay here again!

    it's either heavily raining or scorching sun burning towards end of July, making the trip to Guilin and YangShuo not very enjoyable, but not to the hotel's fault. Lacking mirror in washroom

    not luxurious but unexpectingly very comfortable, good and sound sleep during our stay in the hotel. My husband's allergic rhinitis has enjoyed very clear nonstuffy airway while staying there. Simple but good enough breakfast and calming scenic view overlooking the Yung lake.

    Tranquility, traditional decor, and helpful friendly staff.

    This is a beautiful hotel in a very good location. Staff are very friendly (especially, "Zhuge" - so also helped us to arrange activities & drivers for the Longji Rice Terraces and river cruise to Yangshuo). Breakfast was nice with a small but tasty selection of food; it is situated on the top (5th) floor overlooking a lake.. The whole hotel oozes calmness and peace. I would recommend this hotel.

    A very minor thing, the stone floors take a little getting used to. They are beautiful but can be a little hard on bare or socked feet. Wear slippers in the rooms.

    The hotel is situated on the river and is an easy walking distance to a bustling night market. There are restaurants nearby. The staff are exceptionally helpful and kind. The breakfast offered at the hotel was good. The bed is very comfortable and soft, like western-style mattresses. The rooms come with large towels.

    Beautiful hotel, the art works and decoration are gorgeous. The room was very comfortable, breakfast was fine. The location across the parc is really nice, in the evening there are a lot of local people strolling, and also singing and dancing, providing free genuin entertainment and a really fun environment. Also many restaurants and little neighborhood stores for dinning. The hotel staff spoke good english and was very friendly and helpful with advice on where to go.

    Everything was very good.

    Very kind and polite staff, they helped up with the pick up from the airport and organised the taxi to the pier. When we checked in, the host suggested a few nearby spots to visit which was very helpful. She also helped us organise the cruise to Yangshuo. The breakfast in the morning was good, it's on the top floor by the terrace so you get a nice view of the mountain. The room was very good too, with a good amount of plugs and all the amenities you need it in the toilet.

    Great location - you can walk easily to many places of interest in Guilin, and walk around and across the lakes. The room was beautifully furnished and the view was of trees, lakes and mountains. Delicious breakfast buffet with lots of Chinese and Western options including fresh fruit, eggs, etc. Very helpful English-speaking staff who can arrange tours and recommend restaurants and places to visit.

    All the staff speak good English and responded to messages promptly. Very good at recommending restaurants and places & activities worth going. Their breakfast was good. Staff are very accommodating. Good hotel to be if you don’t speak mandarin. They help book pick up van, English speaking tour guide-driver to take all 6 of us to Longji Rice Terrace and ethnic villages and River cruise to Yangshuo. Good service, saving us the worry of buying the wrong tickets during our stay in Guilin!

    Got swayed to go on the li river tour rather than the rice fields that we wanted to go on because of the rainy season - a shame because the boat tour is very expensive and not worth the money. Go to the rice fields whatever the season!

    Lovely room, simple breakfast in a room with a view. Friendly staff. Would definitely return.

The ladies on reception are delightful. All speak excellent English and arranged our onward travel including a cruise to Yangzhou without a hitch. Can't recommend this place enough, it was wonderful.
