Hotels With Pools in Guangxi, China

This stay far exceeded my expectations, a full five stars are a must! As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by the enthusiastic front desk lady, who guided me through check-in with a constant smile and thoughtfully informed me about nearby facilities. It instantly washed away my travel fatigue. The room's cleanliness was what impressed me most. The sheets and bedding were spotless and odorless, the desk and floor were dust-free, and even the bathroom corners were sparkling clean. It made for a truly reassuring stay.

The room was exceptionally well decorated and comfortable, with a view that’s priceless. Breakfast was very good and varied, suitable for different preferences. The highlight is the attention and professionalism of the staff, in particular Lynn and Icey, who were always trying to make our stay more enjoyable. I’m definitely going back

Location: Superb! It's conveniently located, making it easy to get around. The hotel also offers a shuttle service for pick-ups and drop-offs at the station, which is very handy. Service: Absolutely praiseworthy! Every staff member greets you with a smile, indicating they've received excellent training. From the front desk service to the responsiveness of the WeChat customer service, and even the room arrangements, everything was commendable. Looking forward to staying here again!

Gulong Stay Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) I recently stayed near Gulong Canyon and had a wonderful experience overall. The area is surrounded by lush green mountains and rivers, so the views are absolutely stunning, especially in the early morning with mist in the valley. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and had a rustic charm that fit the natural setting. The main attraction — the glass bridge and skywalk — was breathtaking (and a little scary if you’re afraid of heights). Staff were friendly and helpful, though English was limited, so having a translation app helped. Local food was fresh and tasty, especially the river fish dishes. One tip: bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for some steep climbs. It’s best to visit on weekdays to avoid heavy crowds. Would I come back? Definitely — especially to enjoy more hiking trails and maybe try the zipline next time.

1) This hotel is literally situated on the China-Vietnam border. From my room window, I could see Vietnam, and the front desk even warned me that if I had an iPhone, it might pick up signals from the neighboring country and my time zone could change. The rooftop observation deck offers an even better view of the border scenery, encompassing both Dongxing in China and Mong Cai in Vietnam. 2) When I booked on Trip.com, I specifically requested a non-smoking room, and the hotel front desk truly delivered! The floor and room were genuinely free of any secondhand smoke. Honestly, in a fourth-tier city in (what is arguably the world's number one country for secondhand smoke), this was a rare and pleasant surprise. 3) It's quite close to the Dongxing Port, just a 5-minute walk away. If you want to experience the charm of a border town right from your room, and if you appreciate clean room facilities and fresh, natural air, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I called the hotel yesterday before checking in to ask if I could fish by the Li River, and they confirmed they provide a full set of fishing gear. While not top-of-the-line lure rods, they were perfectly fine for a good experience. I brought my daughter along, and we also tried the hotel's travel photography service; the photographer was great at guiding us with poses. The hotel is right by the Li River, and this morning we even saw cormorants fishing – the hotel said it's a special sight only during Chinese New Year! The room facilities are complete, and all the minibar food and drinks are free. The breakfast rice noodles were also delicious. The location is excellent, making it convenient to visit many attractions. I highly recommend everyone to come and stay!

This hotel is connected to MixC, with the mall right on the first floor, making it super convenient for shopping and getting around with all the amenities nearby. It's a high-rise hotel with an excellent elevated location – highly recommend! Upon check-in, I connected with housekeeper Jenna, who was incredibly warm and friendly. She was always available to meet my needs and responded to messages very quickly. They even included breakfast! Other staff members like Lexi, Colin, Betsy, and Elva were also very professional. Next time I'm in Nanning, I'll definitely choose Shangri-La Nanning again! [Love emoji] Additionally, I went for a swim in the pouring rain, and it was incredibly refreshing – the cleanest pool ever. Even though it was a business trip, it felt like a vacation.

Regarding this hotel, I'd advise against checking in with the bespectacled front desk staff member. The first room I was given was a corner room. After going downstairs to discuss it, I requested a more 'standard' shaped room. What I got instead was a room where the TV completely blocked the view, I mean, seriously??? And the bed was incredibly small, as shown in picture 1. She also told me that because I'm a member, I could have a late checkout until 2 PM. I really appreciate that – what kind of benefit is that? It took a third complaint to finally get a standard-shaped room. My Trip.com Gold and IHG membership meant absolutely nothing. This hotel has a very poor service mentality. When checking out, an employee even asked for a positive review, saying it was a task requirement and to remember to write her name. I replied, 'You're just checking me out; it's not like I received any special service, right?'

The service was excellent. The front desk staff saw that we had a child with us and thoughtfully moved us to a non-smoking room and even upgraded our stay. The bellhop not only helped with our luggage but also gave us a detailed overview of the hotel's amenities. When checking out, the lobby manager patiently looked after our bags. In short, the hotel staff's service was outstanding, very friendly, and enthusiastic – big thumbs up to them! Secondly, the hotel's location is superb. It's right behind a bustling commercial area, which is incredibly convenient with a wide variety of shops and products – perfect for a shopping spree. The lobby is clean, bright, and has a pleasant aroma from the scented diffusers and fresh flowers. They also offer delicious fruit tea. The overall atmosphere is fantastic. The room itself was also very satisfying. It felt quite modern with a unique layout and was spacious enough. The facilities are well-maintained. The gym is clean, tidy, bright, spacious, and well-equipped. The pool water was very clean and at a comfortable temperature. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the shower space was quite roomy. A housekeeper cleans the room daily. Overall, the value for money is exceptional. If I had to choose again, I would definitely stay here. Highly recommended!

My kids absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave, allowing this mom to relax and enjoy the trip. We stayed in the Little Yellow Duck family room, which came with a tent, plush toys, and various cartoon-themed soft furnishings. They also provided exclusive children's amenities, showing incredible attention to detail – it was so thoughtful! Right outside our room was the hotel's kids' playground, featuring a ball pit slide, a play kitchen area, and a dress-up corner that my daughter adored. She went wild as soon as we entered and I literally couldn't pull her away; she just wanted to stay and play at the hotel! The hotel also has a gym, an outdoor pool, an outdoor bar, and a self-service laundry room with sterilization and drying functions. Breakfast is served at the Nai Garden Restaurant, and the ambiance speaks for itself – just look at the pictures! It was incredibly picturesque, especially with a bit of rain, giving off strong Monet vibes. The atmosphere was just perfect! I have to praise the hotel breakfast; the value for money is absolutely amazing. For this price, the breakfast spread was so rich, including Guilin's famous oil tea, rice noodles, Western pastries, and Chinese breakfast items. They even offered cups for free takeaway coffee – as a coffee addict, I had two cups to get my day started ☕️. On the first floor, the hotel lobby also had a Chinese New Year event where my child experienced making hand-printed good fortune paper, and they even framed her artwork as a gift. My daughter was thrilled! Across from the hotel is a department store, making shopping and exploring very convenient. It's also very close to Elephant Trunk Hill, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and the Li River scenic area. Elephant Hill Scenic Area, East-West Alley, and Zheng Yang Pedestrian Street are all within walking distance. Guilin, this picturesque and poetic little city, is truly chill and always uplifting. It's super suitable for a city walk with kids!
