Amazing and helpful staff, perfect location, rice buns for breakfast! They helped us arrange all the trips and our driver Molly was such a great guide. We also got a feet massage - can only recommend!

The person on the chat and both girls from reception were very kind. They help me to get Li river cruise tickets and they made sure to get there on time explaining everything.

Location was right on the lake front. Great location in the centre of Guilin, easy walks to restaurants, shops and attractions. We were upgraded on arrival. Reception staff were very helpful and spoke great English. You could tell that the hotel used to be a museum as we were surrounded by antique displays. Awesome. The breakfast was fantastic and offered both Western and Chinese food. The buffet was replenished regularly with fresh food. The breakfast room itself has the most amazing view of the lake and mountains. A truly atmospheric hotel.

Nothing

Excellent staff. Gave very good advice on where to eat and arrange tours. Just follow their recommended itinery. Is good value. Hotel provides excellent and affordable massage in the spa room. Just great after day sight seeing.. am glad I stayed in guilin instead of yangshuo. The latter is too crowded and touristy and loud

We are a family of 4 and absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The art on the walls is beautiful, the breakfast is amazing, and the staff is very kind, helpful, and attentive. The view from the breakfast room is lovely, and they even let our family paint with traditional Chinese paints and rice paper during breakfast.

I liked this hotel more than my 5 star hotels in Beijing and Shanghai. I was here only for one night but it was very memorable because of the super helpful and friendly staff, the very unique style, and the ideal location. The hotel helped me organize my Li River cruise and airport pickup ahead of time. I arrived in the evening but I instantly went out for a walk along the beautiful lake which is literally right in front of the hotel! Highly recommend!

Beautifully decorated and comfortable hotel very well located in the center of Guilin. The rooms are spacious and gorgeous with a window nook for tea. The bed is very comfortable. The staff is exceptional, and speaks great English. We had our Li river tour organised by them, and also had a very good massage in the hotel. The breakfast was good with a beautiful view of the mountains. Overall an unforgettable experience, we didn’t want to leave!

The bathroom was a bit dated and the temperature of the water oscillated between hot and cold. We booked a two bedroom suite but it seems that it’s actually just one bedroom and the second bed is outside. The bathroom is inside the bedroom so if you’re on the outside bed, you will need to walk through the bedroom each time to use the bathroom, which is not ideal.

The staff were genuinely nice and helpful! They helped us book pretty much everything and gave recommendations on where to eat, places to avoid, etc. Even the cafeteria staff were super welcoming and kind. The staff there are better than most five-star hotels! The hot ginger tea upon arrival is also a nice touch since it was very cold outside. The hotel is right next to a lake and the views from the windows is incredible! Rooms are spacious and well decorated with antiques. You can also book an on site massage.

We had a great stay at Aroma Tea House. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated. I especially liked the tea nook with a view on the river. The breakfast was great, also with a great view! The staff was really helpful in helping us arrange transfers. Note that the price for additional services (transfers, activities, etc) is higher than self-organised but everything was well arranged.

The water in the shower was either cold or too hot

Jhuge and Rose were extremely helpful, very kind & friendly. The location of the hotel is great - right next to the lake, and the room was very clean & provided a warm respite from the cold weather outside. The hotel has a great ambience as a tea museum. Bed & pillows were comfortable. The hotel Also appreciate that they let us check out late knowing we had checked in very late at night.

Super convenient location in the heart of Guilin. Great hotel breakfast with a beautiful view from the dining room. Tea rooms within the rooms were a nice touch and the hotel itself was beautifully designed. Helpful and communicative staff.

I've been in 5 hotels in China and this is absolutely the best one. Staff is very polite and helpful, they took care of every need we had (booking trips or taxi for example), and they speak English perfectly, that is not so common even in hotels. The structure is beautiful, in traditional style but also with modern commodities, and the room was very big, nice and clean, with view on the river. I totally raccomend this hotel!
