Pro: Excellent location. We’ve paid for an executive room so room was clean and decent, there was some view overlooking people’s rooftop garden. Breakfast was ok.
Con: Service was mediocre; and can be improved. Hotel front did not have ramp, it was difficult to carry big luggages going up the few steps. On our first day arriving at hotel, we had difficulty taking the big luggages going up steps. Front desk staff stood at their desk and looked at us without offering any help. Not good.

The staff, amenities and services were great in the hotel.
Here are some highlights:
1. Helpful staff
We got room upgrades upon check in. They also helped us book the LiRiver cruise plus the transportation to the cruise port. They also have delicious sweet soup delivered to our room at night.
2. Comfortable room and beds
The room was equipped with a table and big chairs, and the bed and pillows were very comfy.
3. Stunning views
We had dinner at the Cloud restaurant at the hotel. Even though the food at the dinner didn’t amaze us, the view from the restaurant was amazing.
4. Tasty breakfast
There are a lot of selections at the breakfast buffet. We really like all the local specialties, i.e. RedBeanRiceCakes, TofuNoodles, GuilinRiceNoodles. We all feel it tasted a lot better than the dinner.
Overall, we had a great experience at Li River hotel. I would rate it 5 out of 5 of every things.

The hotel is beautiful and ideally located but what makes it outstanding is its exceptional customer service that truly goes above and beyond for its guests, making your stay a luxurious experience. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, while the on-site restaurant delivers a delightful dining experience. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions on foot, and the staff makes it easy to arrange transportation for destinations farther away. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its unparalleled service, easily among the best I’ve encountered as an avid traveler.

A lovely hotel set close to the tourist attractions but far enough out enough to be quiet and tranquil. The room was tastefully decorated and everything of a high quality. There was a Nespresso machine , a rain shower a clothes steamer and water dispenser all equipped in the room. The room offered stunning views. All of the staff were extremely hospitable and helpful. They helped us change our room to a room with a view and were patient and kind even though they couldn’t speak English. The tour desk in the hotel offered great rates for tours and were quick to organise! The breakfast lacked pure vegetarian food but it offered enough to keep us full. The welcome fruit gift was beautifully presented and the Ayis were very helpful with helping to do laundry . The rooftop would be gorgeous to hang out in during the warmer days. The hotel provide bottomless fruit , drinks and other amenities in the reception. We loved our stay at this hotel. From the room ,to the location to the staff everything was of a 5 start quality. The room was also well sound proofed as it was quite all the time.
The room was very clean. Only note the cleaning in the room could go deeper as the corners had dust and the bathroom walls had some marks. At times there was a scent of smoke in the room however the hotel is a smoke free hotel.

Beyond my expectation. Service is at tip top. Walkable to many places of interest within 400m. The receptionists were so helpful giving directions as where to go and assist to call for cab anytime i needed the service. Remarkable housekeeper aunty, asking me need not wait for my laundry as she will make sure it is all done and will deliver to my room, she even drop me a note after sending the laundry on my bed. Got a upgraded family room which was spacious and on the high floor. The hotel 7th floor has a small pool and nice view of the Jingjang Wangfu background and the ancient city. They do served tea at 3pm with some nice cookies and desserts, breakfast was awesome with order to make famous Guilin Noodle soup. Highly recommend this hotel for personalize service and a comfort room. Would rate it 5/5.

It has been a memorable stay for us. The hotel is conveniently located within a 15-minute walk to the Twin Pagoda, the Elephant Hill, and Zhenyang Pedestrian St. Besides, they are many good restaurants around the vicinity. Our selected rooms are huge with minimal chic design. Friendly service staff. Loved the chat service via Wechat, where we could book our transport to and fro the Railway Station. There's complimentary dessert served to our room. On top of that, they even printed our favourite photos taken during our stay and have it framed for us for free!!! And the robot delivered to our room. We will miss talking to Shishi in the Wechat asking about our needs. This is a very interactive hotel where communications are done through their Wechat, and you get prompt services. Good breakfast varities and friendly service staff. Highly recommended to try the local Guilin dry noodle at breakfast. It is as good as those outside. We will miss staying in this hotel. Thanks you SYYF hotel!

We had a really great time at SYYF Li River Courtyard hotel.
Here are some highlights:
1. Helpful staff
We were able to check in around 12:30 pm. The staff at front desk helped us move in. Everyone in the hotel put a lot effort to make sure their customers were satisfied with their service.
2. Comfortable beds
The two bedrooms is kind of small for a family of 4. It lacks desks to put makeup, purses. However the bed and pillows were very comfy.
3. Tasty food with stunning views restaurant
The ZUI restaurant at 6 floor has excellent food options, great quality and stunning views. We had both dinner and breakfast there. It was the best one in our entire Guilin Yangshuo vacation. We really like the local specialties, like Oil Tea, Black rice cake with egg yolk, fried rice noodles, Guilin rice noodles…
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at SYYF Li River Courtyard Hotel. I highly recommend it.

Stayed for 3 nights at this lovely boutique hotel. The rooms are clean, modern and well maintained. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. I would recommend to friends and family.
If there was one thing to improve, I think smoking and non smoking rooms should be completely separated - the hallways were filled with the smell of cigarettes and it also filled my room but otherwise, I would stay here again.

This is certainly one of the best hotels you can book in Guilin !!
We loved our stay here so much that we can't wait to come back and stay again for our next trip to China.
Here are the highlights of our stay:
1) The hotel staff were all very friendly, especially the receptionist who checked us in when we arrived late at night.
2) The hotel building and our room are very clean and modern, with well maintained facilities and utilities
3) The view is simply amazing. Especially from our 270 Degrees View Suite on the 12th floor.
4) The spacious gym and pool (which is only for children) are also a nice addition
5) There is also a very useful washing machine and dryer
7) The rooftop area has some of the best views in Guilin
8) The location is fantastic and right what we needed, with quick access to local shopping centres and to parks/temples
The things we recommend for improving:
1) There is not a lot of privacy from the toilet area which can be uncomfortable
2) The bed mattress is a bit more firm than what we prefer
3) The complimentary water provided by the hotel doesn't taste very nice (but this is a very minor inconvenience)
Overall we can 100% recommend staying here and paying a little extra to book one of their amazing suites!

Perfect
GGuest UserA truly magnificent stay - highly recommend
Even before I arrived, the staff went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. I received a message the day before my reservation to call the hotel. When I called, they asked if they could send me a message on Wechat as they didn’t speak English. The staff simply wanted to know my eta so that they could turn the a/c on in the room to cool it down before I arrived.
The hotel is more of a BnB set up than a hotel - similar to a house design. The building is 5 stories high with I guess around 4 rooms on each floor. This makes it perfect to escape the large tourist groups which frequent bigger hotels.
When the taxi pulled up outside on the day of my arrival, 2 staff members rushed out to welcome me. Check-in was quick and they told me that they had upgraded me to a bigger room. They also asked me what I wanted for breakfast the next day as they had some different ‘Western’ options (think Chinese idea of Western but still okay). I was able to have toast and fried eggs every day.
The room is really exquisite - I came alone but would definitely recommend for couples as the bathtub is heavenly.
The two balconies offer beautiful views of the karst mountains. The room is also tastefully done up in wicker and white. And the bedding is luxurious. My only recommendation for the room is to add some sachets of instant coffee.
The pool is perfect for a cool down and what a spectacular view from the loungers!
I swam every day and every day while sitting by the pool, the staff brought me some refreshing lemon water to drink. In addition, every day of my stay they brought me something: day 1 - fresh watermelon and some blueberry thing (candy?), day 2 - baby tomatoes and more blueberry things day 3 - apples and peanuts. On checkout, they prepared a local snack and water bottle for the trip home.
The staff at this hotel really go the extra mile and just about bend over backwards to serve you. It’s been a long time since I have seen such eager staff and it makes for a very pleasant change from bored receptionists on their phones.
I cannot rate the hotel highly enough for their excellent hospitality service.
The location is also perfect - away from the main ***** but an easy 15 minute walk to the river rafts and another 5-10min to the ‘town’ and a variety of eating options. That’s when you turn left when you get to the main road from the hotel (5min walk). Turn right at this road and you can comfortably walk (30 min?) to some other sites like the one with the hole in the mountain (overrated) and an exquisite cave - Dragon cave. If you like caves and the formations within I highly rate this cave. It is truly gorgeous. You can also rent bikes or a scooter 10m in front of the hotel.
The staff do not speak English but they communicate via WeChat and are more than happy to help with anything.
Overall a truly wonderful stay and cannot recommend enough! Thank you JingYunge
AAnonymous UserThis time my girlfriends went on a trip and chose to stay at the Shiyuyuanfang Gallery Courtyard Hotel. It exceeded my expectations. The hotel is quiet and hygienic. It is very close to Shili Gallery. The scenery is beautiful. The service in the hotel is very considerate and answers all questions. The complimentary items in the hotel are quite good, including travel photography and essential oil massage. We are very satisfied with the travel photography, which recorded our beautiful memories. This hotel is highly recommended!
PPeaceBeUponUsRoom view vs Customer Service.
Pros :
Credit to the lady who spoke English at the reception.
She is a gem to the hotel, she went the extra miles to ensure our plans went well.
Perfect, Xiaojie !
Becoz of her, we are willing to give 5 stars !
Cons :
Lake view, almost fully blocked by the roof of the restaurant below, which is a total disappointment !
Neverthe less, stunning mountain view.
Room tips : Go for a higher floor, the lake view might be slightly better.
Do add some fake grass carpet over the roof for a more pleasant sight.
IItsJimBooking and Check-In
I booked my stay at the Shixi Landscape Hotel in Yangshuo, Guilin, through Trip.com. The check-in process was very smooth and didn’t take long at all. One pleasant surprise was the option to upgrade our room for free, which we accepted. This upgraded room came with a lovely balcony. Although the staff couldn’t speak English, they were very friendly and helpful. Using a translation app made communication easy.
Room Details
We stayed in a standard double room with an upgrade to a balcony room. The room also featured a bathtub, which was a nice touch. Upon entering, the room was fairly clean, though there were some water stains on the floor and the carpet had a few dirty spots. The amenities were average, including a selection of soft drinks in the minibar and some snacks on the table. Despite these minor cleanliness issues, the bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Facilities and Services
The hotel had a restaurant where we received a complimentary breakfast upgrade. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not meet our expectations. While the Chinese food selection seemed okay, the international options were quite disappointing. The sausages were undercooked, the bacon was not good, and the cereal options looked and tasted stale. The only decent international option was toast with butter. It’s a relief we didn’t pay extra for it.
Although I noticed the hotel had a spa, gym, and pool, I didn’t get a chance to use them. The pool looked nice but was small and shallow, not suitable for a serious swim. There was no room service available as far as I knew.
Location and Accessibility
The hotel’s location was fantastic, situated right next to the Li River and only a short 5-minute walk to the main shops and streets in the town. It was very easy to find and access, making it a convenient base for exploring Yangshuo.
Customer Service
The overall customer service was great. The staff were very friendly and polite, and we encountered no issues during our stay.
Overall Experience
The best part of our stay was the hotel’s prime location, which made it easy to visit tourist attractions. The hotel staff were also very helpful in arranging scooter rentals for a very reasonable price of ¥30 per day, which allowed us to explore the beautiful scenery around Yangshuo.
However, there is room for improvement. The breakfast selection, particularly the international options, needs significant enhancement. Additionally, a thorough deep cleaning of the carpets would greatly improve the room’s cleanliness.
In conclusion, while I would recommend the Shixi Landscape Hotel for its location and overall good service, it is on the pricier side for Yangshuo. Given the cost, I expected a bit more in terms of breakfast quality and room cleanliness. Nonetheless, it is a decent option for those looking to stay near the Li River and the town’s main attractions.
KKLimWe stayed here for 3 nights, from 27-30 Nov, our longest for the 15 days Guangxi trip. We booked here cos it is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. There is more effort to maintain the non-smoking rule but there still lapses. Some staff are understanding and make and effort while others are pretty nonchalant, with one trying to argue with my wife that the guests can smoke in the lobby. The room is fine and there is free afternoon snacks in a nice lounge. Location is quite centralised with some eateries nearby. Breakfast prob 2nd best for this trip with coffee available. There is no lift so a llttle bit of stairs climbing to reach the reception and rooms.

PPrairieTruthfully, I am having time finding words, and that's unusual for me. I must admit I was disappointed when Yangshuo Mountain Retreat cancelled my booking because of a wedding that had booked the place, but the photos of the garden sold me. I've been to Yangshuo perhaps five times over the last 10 years, and have stayed in every kind of place there-from a cheap hostel to the boutique rooms but my dream was to stay at YMR, where I always stop and have a whiskey by the river.
When we pulled into Liqui Town, I realized I had not explored this part of the valley and was disoriented. But then the staff greeted us, carried in our bags, gave us tea, peanuts, and oranges, and set to taking care of our every need. They were this way with us from start to finish-sending us off with a bag of fresh mandarin oranges and hugs-and a promise to send an invoice for our remaining expenses-which we still have not gotten!
Apart from the wonder of just those details, the food was exquisite, our farmhouse room was stylish and simple yet so thoroughly Chinese-in the most real and unassuming way. It was an honor and a pleasure to sip tea in the farmhouse and look at the many woodcut posters and Chinese propaganda songs on the walls while staring up from the tea table to the simply elegant clay tile roof resting on the original beams, feeling the mud bricks breathe out their history silently under a soft rain and the early crows of the neighborhood roosters.

If one is quiet and still, I believe this little gem will give up her secrets, her history, and the story and true feeling of old-time village life amongst the stunning splatters of karst and water. We enjoyed watching the staff use the traditional well to clean up around the property, and the garden did not disappoint. Truly magical and filled with bonsai that some local master has been enjoying for many years. The food was excellent. We spoke with some Chinese tourists on the way out who were very disappointed with the local version of beer fish, ah but ours was exquisite, along with the drinks and italian food. It's very rare to find this mix of culture, authenticity, generosity, and good service all wrapped into a package that does nearly guarantee the fulfillment of the motto the girls wear on their shirts, ”be inspired....”
I would recommend this to anyone. 谢谢你们!
MMiboRecommend staying here for families, singles or friends. Great and successful restaurant for lunch and dinner (though breakfast was less appetizing). Hotel guests get priority for restaurant seating, even when fully booked. Staff willing to help you out for organizing all kinds of activities and transportation. Nice and clean rooms, with lots of space. Very good location.
EExpatThis is an absolutely beautiful hotel. As a solo traveler, I do feel that it’s good for one night to experience that design and pampering space. There are bus tour groups which go there and seem to work well with the KTV, Buffet meals, and lounging areas.
From my trip, I stayed for two days after the Chinese Qixing Festival. It was really nice to arrive and have access to the teatime snacks and desserts as well as the wonderful architecture and furniture design. The outdoor pool is nice, however the indoor pool charges 50 yuan because they offer drinks and snacks. The only drinks and snacks they offered were juice boxes and some fruit. One employee told me that there were cocktails available. The exercise room and yoga room were set up very nice. The shower rooms very clean. I would not pay for the indoor swimming pool in my opinion based on the drink/snacks.
The bar that is advertised from some user photos does not exist. Some employees said it was open, others said not. Management can communicate that better, as a lush hotel should have a solid lounge. The tea lounge does not have any alcohol drinks available, but rather decoration of wine bottles. The design is gorgeous though. One employee told me that they ran out of alcohol due to holiday, and another employee told me that there was a bar open which really was not. I simply went to get my own spirits when I wanted a cocktail (made in my room).
Other than that, everything in the hotel was fine. My room was really lovely with the exception of the fact that you cannot go out on the balconies and there is a smoke smell from the carpet. The hotel gladly gave me a an air purifier to help alleviate the smell. My opinion is that the power should be sat on before a guest checks into their room. I had to change the filter over the two days. It did not appear that the KTV was open (maybe epidemic), I decided to go hang out in town, but enjoyed the Victorian flair when relaxing.
Overall, the comfort, bathing, and relaxation was great. The breakfast is really delicious, and the service of the employees all around was impeccable despite the fact that they could not offer all of the amenities. It seems an OK place for families/photos as well since the property is unique. The 50 yuan for tea time was probably the most valuable, and the room service staff are detailed. The butler/reception very professional, Ayi staff amazing. Transportation quite easy.

Our recent stay at the Shangri-La Hotel Guilin was an absolute delight. The hotel's prime location provided easy access to the city's stunning natural beauty, making it the perfect base for exploring the picturesque landscapes. While the food offerings were decent, the exceptional service from the staff truly elevated our experience.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Luna from Guest Relations. Her dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was truly commendable. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially as we were celebrating my wife's birthday. The thoughtful room decorations and the delicious complimentary cake were a wonderful surprise. Luna's insightful recommendations for local attractions were also invaluable, allowing us to discover hidden gems in the city.
The hotel's well-maintained gym was another highlight of our stay. The state-of-the-art equipment and serene ambiance provided the perfect setting for a rejuvenating workout.
We would also like to express our appreciation to Catherine, our talented photographer. Her photography skills were exceptional, capturing the beauty of the surroundings while providing a mini tour guide.
Overall, our experience at the Shangri-La Hotel Guilin was truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and personalized stay in Guilin.

SSéverine SCHAEFFERExtraordinary suite in a beautiful wooden inn with a breathtaking view of the 9 Dragons and 5 Tigers spot. Excellent bedding and very nice bathroom, spacious living room with excellent tea available. The restaurant serves simple and tasty Chinese cuisine with local products. We particularly liked the snails in sauce. The owner and the ladies on duty are very dedicated to the customer. We suggest providing bathrobes in the room when exiting the bathroom which is facing the windows. A more complete breakfast menu would also be perfect. Thank you for your welcome, we hope to return in another season to discover the rice fields with other colors.
