Boutique Hotels in Guangxi, China

This hotel was absolutely the right choice. To put it simply, while it's not a new hotel, it's incredibly well-maintained. The lobby is beautiful, and the reception staff are professional and incredibly attentive. They were always helpful, answering all our questions and resolving any issues we encountered during our stay. The rooms are very spacious, and all the amenities are clean and hygienic. The interior decor is well-preserved, and the bathroom has a great wet/dry separation. The floor-toceiling windows offer fantastic views. The rooftop dining room has an amazing view; we ate there two out of three nights. The prices were even better than the local restaurants outside. A special shout-out to the front desk staff – their service was exceptional!

Staying here on weekdays is exceptionally peaceful. The room is impeccably clean with good natural light. When you open the window, you're greeted by lush green mountains, creating a very comfortable ambiance. When I had some free time, I'd go sit by the pool, enjoy the breeze, and take in the mountain views – it was incredibly relaxing. The attractions are all at a moderate distance, so getting around wasn't a hassle. The staff are very friendly and easygoing, and any issues I had were communicated smoothly. Meals are buffet-style and meet everyday dining needs. Overall, my stay felt very solid and reliable; it's a great place for a relaxing vacation.

My stay this time was exceptional. It's rare to receive such thoughtful care at a hotel. The front desk staff who checked me in was a lovely and gentle young woman. She communicated with me in detail before check-in, fully accommodating my actual needs. After helping me with check-in, she enthusiastically helped move my luggage to the room and explained the room layout and where things were located, making me feel right at home. The room itself was clean and tidy, ensuring a comfortable stay. When I checked out, she even helped me communicate with the local driver, which greatly reduced my travel stress – I'm especially grateful to her! The auntie at breakfast on the 27th was also very kind and thoughtfully helped guests season their Guilin rice noodles. Additionally, the hotel's location is excellent. It's very convenient to walk to attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill, Jingjiang Prince City, Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area (Twin Pagoda Park), and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. Plus, it's not too far from both Guilin Station and Guilin North Station.

The hotel was clean and tidy, and the location was super convenient. I really enjoyed the breakfast too. I especially loved the bed – it was so comfortable to sleep in. There was no noise at all, which made for a very pleasant stay. The front desk staff were really friendly and even provided bottled water, small drinks, and snacks. I was satisfied with everything. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time. The tatami room window was frosted, which was fine by me as I just wanted to rest after work. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend booking a double room instead.

Everything from the accomodation to the view, the service and the food were excellent! Would say that Liangsu Shewang Honglvpai Hotel (Yangshuo Shili Gallery Yulong River Branch) exceeds 5 star hotels in certain aspects. The service team is so helpful, delivering takeouts straight to our room, and even booked a DiDi for us when we were facing an issue with the app. Our photographer Xiao Mo took some really lovely photos of me and my fiancee (not shown here, but the photos you see online are true to it!) Would highly recommend spending a night or 2 here when you are in Yangshuo. For the level of service and quality, they are actually really value for money!

The room directly overlooks the artificial lake, which is absolutely beautiful. If I were to visit again in March or April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it would be truly magnificent. The breakfast was also quite enjoyable; I even got to make my own waffles, which were wonderfully fluffy and soft, just like the ones my grandma used to make back home. The environment here is also very relaxing and pleasant.

Outstanding hotel, highly recommended. The rooms are large, comfortable and practical, with lovely views of the river. The bathrooms are especially nice, with large bathtubs. Breakfast is varied, with an excellent range of delicious food. The staff are extremely polite and helpful: they were able to check me in even at 3:00am after I arrived on the night train. The cleaners are quick, thorough and efficient, too. The staff provide thoughtful gifts like free oranges for Spring Festival. The hotel is well located for getting around Wuzhou, and all the taxi drivers know it. There seems to be lots to do within the hotel, too, including restaurants, a spa, a KTV lounge, a tea house and a swimming pool, so it would be excellent for large groups too.

There are so many hotels and guesthouses in Beihai. I initially booked a place near Jintan Beach, but it was the same price, but the room was too small and not clean, so I cancelled it. After searching for several hours, I saw this place recommended on Ctrip and decided to give it a try. The owner had even turned on the air conditioning beforehand, so it was very cool as soon as I entered. The room was really clean and tidy, the bed was super comfortable, and the facilities were complete. The room also had a washing machine and enough disposable toiletries. It was very clean and convenient. The owner was also super nice and even sent me a message to remind me to eat breakfast. I decided to extend my stay. Because I had other plans in my itinerary, the owner kindly helped me call a car on the third day. Before I left, he even cooked breakfast for me. The seafood noodles were really delicious, even better than what I've had outside, and there was a lot of variety. Oh, and while I was eating breakfast, the owner also gave me a big box of Beihai's specialty sea duck eggs and helped me carry all my luggage to the car. I was really grateful. I will definitely stay here again after I return from Weizhou Island. In short, it was a great experience.

This hotel markets itself as family-friendly, but the rooms lack sound-dampening features like carpets. We spent the whole night listening to kids running around upstairs. The air conditioning control panel was constantly lit with a harsh white light, even in sleep mode. A hotel's primary duty is to provide satisfactory 'food and lodging,' but the lodging here was incredibly disappointing. Regarding the food, there was a wide variety at breakfast, but the beef was incredibly tough, and the eggs were overcooked, possibly even boiled together, leading to a strong, unpleasant smell. The other meals were truly terrible. The udon noodles tasted almost exclusively of soy sauce, and the fried rice was overwhelmingly fishy. It was so bad! And what's more, the hotel bar allows smoking! Is this supposed to be a hotel lounge bar or an entertainment bar? The drink selection is sparse and overpriced. Seeing a bunch of people taking photos (and smoking) really ruined the mood. Out of the complimentary services, only the photo session was delivered. It was a quick experience with fast photo delivery (ladies, remember to bring a strapless bra or pasties, as many outfits are strapless and the selection is limited). But since it was free, I guess it's acceptable.

This hotel offers breathtaking views and incredibly thoughtful service. Even though heavy rain kept us indoors, the cafe's scenery was enough to lift our spirits. We spent a whole afternoon and morning at the hotel, just relaxing and admiring the beautiful views, even trying out rope weaving. In the evening, there was a sound bath healing session, and the rooftop pool was absolutely stunning. You don't need to leave the hotel to experience the essence of Guilin's landscapes. And the location? It's super convenient for getting anywhere. Coming here truly fulfills the dream of a poetic and distant getaway 😊
