[”I've found a hidden gem of a guesthouse on Yangshuo West Street! The overall environment is comfortable and quiet, the room is clean and tidy, making for an exceptionally relaxing stay. The guesthouse has a bunch of fluffy cats and a gentle, adorable dog. Petting cats and walking the dog cures all travel fatigue.

The moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The room decor was cozy and clean, and the bedding was soft, making it incredibly relaxing to lie down after a busy day.\n The biggest surprise at the guesthouse was the array of small animals in the courtyard. There were groups of adorable cats, each with its own charm, who would actively come over to rub against you and ask for pets. There was also a well-behaved, affectionate dog. Sitting in the courtyard, petting the cats and playing with the dog, while looking out at the mountains and water, instantly calmed all my worries.\n The owner was thoughtful and attentive, even sharing tips on which West Street eateries to avoid. The hygiene was excellent, with absolutely no pet odors. This healing little courtyard is perfect for a getaway.

This guesthouse, or 'minsu' as they call it, actually surpasses many mid-to-low tier chain hotels. They offer free breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening desserts, and while the selection isn't huge, it's pretty decent. The laundry room is incredibly well-equipped; there are two of them on-site with plenty of washing machines and dryers, which is super convenient for long trips. The only minor inconvenience was the lack of a brush in the laundry sink. They've also thought of many thoughtful little details, like bags for clothes, disposable and regular slippers, conditioner in the bathroom, earplugs, unlimited bottled water, and even a tip in the room advising guests that they can hang clothes near the air vent. The hotel also sends daily WeChat reminders about meal times and asks if I want my room cleaned (though this is standard for chain hotels, I've stayed in guesthouses that don't clean your room during extended stays). All in all, it's better than many big-name hotels; I even asked the front desk if it was a chain hotel! The only slight downside might be that they don't offer a shuttle service in Yangshuo city, but taxis are very convenient and quite affordable. There's also a place to see lotus flowers nearby, but the water level was high these past two days, so I couldn't enjoy that.

The butler and staff were incredibly responsive, promptly addressing all our requests at every step – a big thumbs up! Breakfast was à la carte, offering both Chinese and Western options. The beef brisket noodles were delicious, and the bread was perfectly toasted – another big thumbs up! The room was clean and tidy. The weather was extremely hot, so we just relaxed at the hotel. The kids swam and played, while the adults chatted over tea. It was all very casual and comfortable. Each villa has its own courtyard, and if the weather were more suitable, strolling around the hotel or fishing by the river would be delightful. This villa hotel is definitely worth a stay. Oh, and the hotel's fruit is bought fresh every morning; it tastes great and there's a good variety. The mini-bar drinks are restocked daily, which is a generous touch. The hotel's homemade cookies were tested by my child and received rave reviews, so the butler even gave us more. When we checked out, we also received cookies and Luo Han Guo (monk fruit) as parting gifts – perfect!

Escape the City Bustle | A Century-Old Guesthouse This time, I chose a really unique guesthouse. The cottage, with its mud walls and blue tiles, has so much character! This guesthouse, transformed from a 150-year-old house, is nestled halfway up the mountains in Yangshuo's Golden Orange countryside. Open the window, and you're greeted with a view of karst peaks, like a traditional Chinese ink painting. The guesthouse features rare Guangxi-style rammed earth architecture. The century-old walls blend beautifully with modern design aesthetics, and the designer is quite renowned; every corner tells a story. There's a panoramic terrace on the mountain where you can watch both sunrise and sunset. We received personalized butler service upon arrival, and they kindly helped with our luggage, making for a warm and thoughtful experience. We stayed in a family room, which was decorated with a serene Zen aesthetic – clean and comfortable. The furniture was exquisite, and even the bedside speaker was a premium brand. Lying in bed at night, you can gaze at the stars, with mountain breezes carrying the scent of grass and trees. It’s truly healing and relaxing 🌙. Tips for Kids & Family Fun: You can pet cats in the courtyard, and there's a hiking trail behind the mountain. On a clear day, you can chase the sunset. The yard is adorned with persimmons, giving it a festive, New Year's feel. In this century-old home, slow down and enjoy the mountains and wind with your children. Nearby Attractions (self-driven and personally tested): **A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains (Qianli Jiangshan Tu)** | 5-minute drive This is a real-life panoramic scroll of ink-wash landscapes. Both sunrise and sunset are perfect for photos. Light-colored outfits look stunning for traditional Chinese-style photos. **Qixianfeng Tea Plantation** | 25-minute drive The mountains are covered in lush green tea trees. Bring your kids to experience tea picking and making, then sip on freshly picked green tea – a fantastic educational and bonding experience for the family. **Farm Golden Orange Picking** | 15-minute drive Orchards abound near Qianli Jiangshan Tu. At 15 yuan per jin (approx. 0.5 kg), it's an immersive rural experience with a bountiful harvest. **West Street Snacks** | 10-minute drive Ai Ye Ba (mugwort cakes) and Osmanthus Cakes are sweet and soft. The bamboo tube chicken is a must-try; the chicken soup is fresh and rich, with a natural bamboo fragrance. Perfect for a leisurely food tour.

🏔️😱 Don’t know how it was possible, but this hotel was even more beautiful in real life than the photos. Built inside a renovated historic sugar factory, Yangshuo Sugar House combines the refined aesthetics of the mountain landscape with historical architectural elegance. ✨ 🚙🌾 The hotel offers various free and at-cost activities you can book through their concierge. We wanted to go see the Longji Rice Steps during our stay, which is about an 2.5 hour drive away from Yangshuo by car. I messaged the hotel the day before we arrived and they were able to arrange a private driver to take us there and back over an 8 hour trip. Mr. Qin was amazing and very kind! He took us directly to buy the tickets and then drove us to the entrance point of the cable car. There was pretty extreme rain on the way back and he got us down the mountain very efficiently. It was an extremely memorable day which was only made possible by the hotel’s extraordinary attentive drivers and diligent concierge staff. ⭐️ 🍴The room comes with a daily buffet breakfast, free soft drinks, and fruit. The hotel restaurant is good, but breakfast is really where the food shines. So many delicious options to choose from, and there was adorable panda shaped buns 🐼 📸 The hotel also offers free travel photography on the premises, which takes about 30~ minutes and you receive 5 free photos, with additional available to purchase at 50 yuan. It was fun and very efficient! 🌸 Overall, a major highlight of our China trip & we wish we had stayed longer. Thank you again!

The room was spacious and the location was super convenient. It's really close to Ten-Mile Gallery and Guilin Romance Park. Plus, it's right by West Street but surprisingly quiet. You can easily rent an electric scooter to explore all of Yangshuo! Oh, and the plums at the hotel were delicious 😋. The front desk staff, both the guys and the girls, were incredibly helpful and friendly, giving great recommendations for sightseeing routes. Yangshuo's scenery is just breathtaking!

This is the best hotel in Yangshuo. Compared to The Sugarcane, VOCO, Hwa Peng, and Banyan Tree, it offers the best value for money. The staff are well-trained and provide genuine assistance. Even after checking out, they continued to answer all our questions about our itinerary. We stayed in the Jingxuan Villa, which was comfortably sized with excellent facilities. The nightly turndown gifts were a lovely touch. The travel photography service was also good, and the photographer had a great attitude. The entire garden landscape is beautifully maintained, and the various small animals like peacocks, geese, ducks, goldfish, and alpacas provided a wonderful and relaxing experience for guests. If you're driving, the hotel's location isn't remote at all. It's about a 20-minute drive to the Ten-Mile Gallery, and also 20 minutes to take a bamboo raft on the Yulong River. Xingping Ancient Town Pier is only half an hour away. Personally, I think it's far superior to the guesthouses near the Ten-Mile Gallery and Yulong River – there's simply no comparison. We had a wonderful two-night, three-day stay. It left a deep impression on our trip to Yangshuo.

The location is fantastic! Just turn left and walk about 100 meters from the hotel, and you're right on West Street. It's super convenient to explore and shop until late at night. The amenities are great too, with a washing machine and dryer, which is a lifesaver for travelers. We also tried the Southeast Asian restaurant downstairs, and the food was delicious – great flavor, aroma, and presentation! The front desk staff and the kitchen auntie were all incredibly nice, making for a wonderful experience. The room decor is stylish, and the cleanliness and overall environment were perfect. Highly recommend it!

📍 **Great Location, Yet Peaceful** The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from West Street, but surprisingly quiet. It was a really comfortable stay. 🏊‍♀️ **Five-Star Facilities** The huge swimming pool and kids' play area kept my children entertained for hours—they didn't want to leave! A must-visit if you're traveling with little ones. 📸 **Picture-Perfect Spot** The Sky Mirror on the 9th floor of Building A offers breathtaking views! A trip to Yangshuo isn't complete without snapping some beautiful photos here. 🍳 **Delicious Breakfast** The restaurant served a rich and tasty breakfast that satisfied our whole family. 🛁 **Highly Recommend This Room Type** We stayed in the 270-degree balcony room with a private plunge pool and a large bathtub. The room offered direct views of Yangshuo's mountains and rivers. Soaking in the pool, enjoying snacks, and admiring the scenery—it was truly luxurious!

Unbeatable location, but seriously disappointing when things went wrong Let's start with the biggest win: this hotel is smack-dab in the middle of absolutely everything! You literally cannot ask for a better spot – walking distance to all the main attractions, restaurants, and transport. For location, it gets a perfect 10/10. Now for the tough part. We had the really bad luck that the hotel experienced a major water supply issue during our stay. And I mean major – we couldn't use the toilet, take a shower, or even wash our hands. For any traveler, that's a complete nightmare and honestly unacceptable for a hotel stay. To give them some credit, the hotel did try to smooth things over by offering our entire family free breakfast as compensation. While the gesture was nice, I have to be blunt: free breakfast just doesn't cut it when you can't perform basic daily necessities. For the level of inconvenience we endured – not being able to shower or flush the toilet – the hotel should have offered a much more appropriate solution, such as a partial refund for the affected night(s). My verdict? Book this place for the incredible location – you won't beat it. But my strong advice is: if anything major goes wrong during your stay, don't settle for a free meal. Push for proper financial compensation, because a few croissants and coffee simply don't make up for not having running water. Great spot, but they really need to step up their customer service game when serious issues arise!
