9.8 (6,492 reviews)

Li River CIAO Hotel( Guilin Elephant Trunk Hill) ★★★★★

📍 Building 610, No. 11 Anxin Road, Anxin South Road, Xiangshan District, Guilin

"Ciao was our first stop in Guilin, and it was full of delightful surprises. The front desk staff mentioned they had spare rooms and upgraded me directly to a river-view room. He even helped push my luggage all the way to the room, and his attitude was superb. The river view at dusk with that lovely blue hue was truly beautiful, with many people jogging along the riverbank. It’s not on a main road, so it’s very quiet. Upon leaving, they even gave me a delicate little gift. It's also very convenient to get to the Two Rivers and Four Lakes to see the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas at night. I rarely write reviews, but I genuinely wanted to praise this hotel this time."

SYYF Li River Landscape Courtyard Hotel (Guilin Elephant Hill Scenic Spot)
9.7 (7,651 reviews)

SYYF Li River Landscape Courtyard Hotel (Guilin Elephant Hill Scenic Spot) ★★★★★

📍 No. 7 Longzhu Road, Diecai District, Guilin

"The hotel staff were friendly, responsive, and polite, which was commendable. However, there were several issues with our stay. 1. **Unclear Bed Type Information**: I booked the Biyuzan River View Room, which stated a random allocation of a 2.4m king-size bed or two 1.2m single beds. After being assigned the 'king-size' bed, I discovered it was actually two single beds pushed together, with a noticeable gap in the middle that severely affected my sleep. The product page made no mention of this being a combined bed. 2. **Unreasonable Price Difference Mechanism**: After checking in, I accidentally noticed the room price had dropped. The hotel only refunds the difference if the guest discovers it and actively requests it from the front desk; they don't proactively offer compensation. Booking early to secure the room means price protection is entirely dependent on the customer checking themselves. 3. **Ill-Conceived Bedside Step Design**: The raised step next to the bed is poorly designed. There are no warning signs, and its height is abrupt. Getting up at night with poor visibility, I nearly tripped several times, posing a safety hazard. On the positive side, the room had an excellent river view, and the hotel offered experiential activities like travel photography and fishing. The service staff were also quite thoughtful. However, I cannot overlook the issues with the combined bed, the price difference mechanism, and the bedside step hazard."

Lijiang Moon View · Quiet Holiday Lakeside Hotel (Guilin Two Rivers & Four Lakes Area) ★★★★
"The environment here is pretty good, with a park view from the window. You can reach all the main attractions by electric scooter. The facilities are relatively new, clean, and tidy. The service is also quite good. Breakfast was just okay, and the coffee machine was broken for both days we were there. We also had dinner once (Pic 4) and they gave us a complimentary shrimp dish, which tasted decent. One downside is the bathroom design is a bit impractical: it's too small, there's no changing area outside the shower, and the bathtub faces directly towards the bed, which isn't ideal for families."
