Independent Guilin Hotels

Absolutely loved my stay here. This place provided amazing value for what I paid. There's internet/WIFI, a movie room, a pool table, games that were all free to use at my own leisure. All the staff here spoke exceptional English, were very engaging, knowledgeable, and did just about everything to make sure I had a good time. The tours to the Longji Rice Terraces and Yangshuo were decently priced.They run a fun BBQ that gets all the guests together and talking. I wished I could have stayed longer as this place was definitely one of my best highlights of my whole China trip.

Great location near but not on the busy West Street. Great value for breakfast, meals and drink.

The hotel provided pick-up from the airport which was very easy to arrange; I just called them up and their English speaking staff sorted it out. When I got to the hotel I realised that the Expedia price was about 1/3 of their rack price - pretty impressive! The hotel was clean and the room was very modern, also really good location - I actually really liked Guilin City as well!!

Beautiful apartment. Beyond our expectations. Large, clean and roomy. Only thing lacking were kitchen utensils. No dishes, silver or cooking utensils. Just tea kettle and cups. Only drawback is location. Really not conveniently located.

If you are visiting Guilin for a few days as a tourist this is not the hotel you wish to choose unless you are on a tight budget. It is an urban hotel far from the tourist attractions and downtown Guilin. I choose this hotel because it was close to my fiancé home. The hotel is very comfortable. It was clean, quite and although older was well maintained. DO NOT eat at the restaurant, food at times was very bad. There are many very good restaurants within 5 min. walk and super market next door. A major mall with KFC, McDonalds and a soon to come Pizza Hut and some high end western restaurant within a 15 min. walk. The staff is Chinese only at the front desk. Some could speak English at the tour and ticket desk.

For an out-of-the-way town in China you can't do any better for the price

I was in the modernised rather charming traditional farmhouse out the back of the main modern building. There were five ensuite rooms but I was the only guest at the time. The wooden floors might be a bit noisy with a full complement of guests. The locals chatted rather noisily in the lane ouside in the evenings but all was quiet by 10pm. No passing traffic at all. Fruit available and hot water for hot drinks.Aircon.WiFi.Note the matresses are very firm! The staff were great. Luna restaurant on the roof terrace of the main hotel had a good Italian menu. I hired one of the mountain bikes and had a great day cycling the lanes by the local Yangshuo rivers.The main roads have steady traffic but the by-ways are very quiet. One day had heavy rain so I went to the more up-market sister property called the Mountain Retreat even tho' it atually is situated on a river-bank in a wide valley. Good lunch and bar service as the rain poured down outside! Note that Moon Hill is about 9 kilometres away from the frenetic buzz of Yangshuo town. Good cheap taxi service connections can be arranged by the reception desk. Moon Hill has a main street which has been by-passed by the main highway. A quiet safe street with twenty or more grocery stores and cheap Chinese cafes. The local area is studded with the karst limestone crags rising out of the fields. Note that is easy for your Guilin agent to book you a Li River lunch cruise to Yangshuo and you abandon the return journey to Guilin.

Modern hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. Would stay here again.

Our family of five stayed for four nights at the Hidden Dragon Villa. It is a beautiful setting in a small village overlooking the Yulong river and karst landscape. It is very quiet, yet only a short drive or 30 minute cycle to central Yangshuo. We enjoyed cycling in the countryside and taking in the magnificent view with every meal in the rooftop restaurant.
