Inns in Guangxi, China

I came here with my friends during the summer holiday, specifically for their restaurant which is on the must-try list. While waiting for a table, we found out they also have guest rooms. Hotel guests get a 10% discount and priority seating, so after seeing the rooms, we decisively booked one. Honestly, both their restaurant and guest rooms are excellent. The summer prices were also very reasonable, and the staff were all very polite and enthusiastic. It was our first time in Yangshuo, and they even recommended some fun attractions. The hotel can also book tickets for various scenic spots, so it felt like we didn't really need to plan our route much as they had everything sorted for us. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I bring my family next time. It's very close to the riverside and West Street, both within walking distance. The main thing is, their restaurant is truly amazing! Don't miss it if you come to Yangshuo!

Longji One Art Hotel was one of the highlights of our Guangxi trip. Beautiful mountain views, peaceful atmosphere, and exceptionally kind staff. The hotel blends modern comfort, captivating art decor and photos with the charm of the rice terraces perfectly. Dinner In hotel was deliciously prepared and included cultural singing and dancing. Grandma’s distilled rice wine was exceptional. Waking up to the mist over the valley was unforgettable. Hiking paths through rice terraces, hilltops, and wooded areas start just outside the hotel door. Highly recommended hotel for anyone visiting Longji Rice Terraces.

Relatively cheap accommodation with window/balcony facing karst mountain, and just 100m from the Li River. Some nice Thai themed embellishments decorate the rooms. Bed is only a small 'double' and has one useable powerpoint near bed right side + light controls. Aircon works well (only small room so to be expected). Overall, OK for 100 RMB per night, but does have a few issues. Booked the 'special promotion' room. Trip.com indicates a room size of 12m square metres, which is incorrect. I measured it at 9.5 square, including the bathroom. If including the small balcony (2.5 sq m), the total room area is 12m best case. Only large enough for single occupancy, with small amount of luggage. Two people would need to climb over eachother to move around. No where near enough space for two - luggage would need to be kept outside on the balcony! Hot water works but is not properly calibrated. Either boiling hot or freezing cold. Extremely difficult to find the right temperature to shower with any comfort. I put full hot, and waited. Water got super hot after 40 seconds. Adjusted to reduce by setting at middle between hot/cold, but water temperature remained super hot. Then pushed to full cold. Water temperature transitioned to cold 29 seconds later. Then put back to middle position but water remained dead cold. Tested this both ways for at least 4 minutes each and remained either scolding hot or freezing cold!! Hotel provides signs to indicate desire to 'please clean room' and I hang this on outer door handle for two days, but to no avail So can only assume the owners don't provide this service. This establishment is only rated as a 2 star hotel, and given the low price point, you really can't complain - on the condition that the tariff is low. Acceptable for 100 -120 RMB per night. Unacceptable for much more than this though.

[”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 owner is super friendly, and the location is very close to West Street, making it incredibly convenient for going out and eating. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Yangshuo, highly recommend!”,”The most delightful stop on my trip to Yangshuo was right by West Street, a peaceful haven amidst the bustle. 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. I've already recommended it to friends, and I'll definitely stay here again when I return to Yangshuo!”,”I found a heavenly guesthouse on Yangshuo West Street! ✨\nThe environment is so comfy I didn't want to leave, the courtyard is pure healing!\nLoads of soft, cuddly cats to pet, plus a super well-behaved dog for company.\nComing back from West Street to pet the furbabies just boosts my travel happiness to max!\nRoom is clean and tidy, owner is warm and caring, location is perfect.\nA must-stay for animal lovers, you can't go wrong here!”,”Five-star rating!

It offers great value for money, highly recommended for friends visiting Yangshuo.”]

The hotel was exactly as described — clean, well-located, and the staff were welcoming and so helpful. Friends and I stayed in different rooms and the entire experience was excellent. Hotel is in a great location. Easy to do a Yulong River Rafting tour (5 minutes walk away), 15 minutes from city centre and bike rentals are located right outside the hotel. It’s also just off the main road which means a peaceful nights rest. I loved that fresh linen was given everyday - not all hotels do this. Staff were kind enough to help me locate my sunglasses that I left in a Didi. They called around for me as I was unable to communicate in Chinese. I managed to retrieve them. I really appreciate that! Check-in was quick, and the room was spacious with good Wi-Fi. Food was delicious and inexpensive. Would definitely stay here again for the price, location and excellent service.

The location is very convenient, right next to the pedestrian street. There are many breakfast places nearby, and the Old Street behind offers a great selection of restaurants. The hygiene is good, and the facilities are complete, with complimentary coffee and tea provided.

Booked the 6 bed dorm, it was full for the 2 nights I stayed here. The bed was so comfy and firm. I had the upper bed and the stairs were thin and tall so each steps felt like I was climbing a rock. The curtains weren't long enough to cover the whole bed completely, you could see the gap of the room and wasn't very blackout, but it's nice for the aircon to come thru without feeling too hot. The power socket was quite annoying, you had to make sure you don't use the travel adaptor which is a brick because it will not fit under the bed light. Room is very cleaned. The bathroom is cleaned too, but the door had issues. The employees are very nice, speaks both English and Chinese and very helpful too. They can also arrange day trips or the river cruise, and honestly if I knew in advance I would had chose Guilin first then Yangshuo so I can join a tour instead. Location is pretty close to Guilin Station - a 15min walk.

Wonderful hotel tucked away in a small village space. Absolutely great for being away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but close enough to reach everything conveniently. The room was very clean and the tea cosy by the window was a lovely touch, we had a nice view of the mountains from our room. All amnesties worked well. Comfy bed. Owner was lovely and helpful, welcomed us back with watermelon every day and helped us to book some tours which we paid for upon check out. I used the massage options there too and it was 10/10! The included breakfast was also fantastic, we took the chinese option every day and it was great.

Location of hotel is very convenient for travelers who take the tourist bus from either Chungzuo, Nanning or from Detian waterfalls scenic area. The room we booked had a nice view of the fields and karst mountains. What a beautiful sight to behold indeed. During the day, it can get noisy with all the comings and goings in the village and all around but at night, it was very quiet. The rooftop terrace was very nice and not busy when we were there. Breakfast was enjoyable with steamed buns, corn, soup noodles and boiled sweet potatoes- a healthy start for a very busy day. The very nice lady in charge of breakfast offered us breakfast on our check in day (we arrived at 10:30) and made sure we had enough to eat before sending us off to explore! We had never met a B&B operator who was so caring and generous. On our check out day, even though she was still busy with guests, she rushed out to bid us a fond farewell and a safe onward trip. Front desk and cleaning team were all very friendly, always smiling and helpful. All in all, a very warm and pleasant stay at Mingshi Scenic Area.

If you're visiting Longji Rice Terraces and Ping'an Village, this is definitely the place to stay! Everything about it is great! The service is excellent, and the homemade dishes are delicious, especially the rice noodles – they're the best I've had in Guilin! For a scenic area, I think it offers good value for money. Two of us had dinner and breakfast for less than 150 RMB. The hotel also offers traditional clothing rentals for photos, which I loved! The owner is super friendly and even picked us up from the tourist center after we parked, and dropped us off again. Their cat is adorable and not shy at all! PS: The sticky rice wine is really good and surprisingly potent – I actually felt a bit tipsy, haha! Definitely worth trying!
