Hotels near Xiufeng in Guilin

The hotel was clean and tidy, and the location was super convenient. I really enjoyed the breakfast too. I especially loved the bed – it was so comfortable to sleep in. There was no noise at all, which made for a very pleasant stay. The front desk staff were really friendly and even provided bottled water, small drinks, and snacks. I was satisfied with everything. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time. The tatami room window was frosted, which was fine by me as I just wanted to rest after work. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend booking a double room instead.

This hotel was absolutely the right choice. To put it simply, while it's not a new hotel, it's incredibly well-maintained. The lobby is beautiful, and the reception staff are professional and incredibly attentive. They were always helpful, answering all our questions and resolving any issues we encountered during our stay. The rooms are very spacious, and all the amenities are clean and hygienic. The interior decor is well-preserved, and the bathroom has a great wet/dry separation. The floor-toceiling windows offer fantastic views. The rooftop dining room has an amazing view; we ate there two out of three nights. The prices were even better than the local restaurants outside. A special shout-out to the front desk staff – their service was exceptional!

My stay this time was exceptional. It's rare to receive such thoughtful care at a hotel. The front desk staff who checked me in was a lovely and gentle young woman. She communicated with me in detail before check-in, fully accommodating my actual needs. After helping me with check-in, she enthusiastically helped move my luggage to the room and explained the room layout and where things were located, making me feel right at home. The room itself was clean and tidy, ensuring a comfortable stay. When I checked out, she even helped me communicate with the local driver, which greatly reduced my travel stress – I'm especially grateful to her! The auntie at breakfast on the 27th was also very kind and thoughtfully helped guests season their Guilin rice noodles. Additionally, the hotel's location is excellent. It's very convenient to walk to attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill, Jingjiang Prince City, Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area (Twin Pagoda Park), and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. Plus, it's not too far from both Guilin Station and Guilin North Station.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They patiently guided us to the parking lot and even had an attendant park our car for free. The room was clean and tidy, and the housekeeping staff were also very enthusiastic and helpful. Since it's raining in Guilin now, working out in the gym is a great option. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to ZhengYang Pedestrian Street, where you can find all sorts of food and local specialties.

The hotel's location is pretty good, very close to the scenic area, just a few minutes drive away. My friends and I came to Guilin for a trip and after comparing several hotels, we decided on this one. It exceeded our expectations! The dry and wet separation design is very thoughtful, and the mattress is just right – not too soft, not too hard. I had a great night's sleep and felt refreshed. They also have a self-service laundry room, which is super convenient for lazy people like us, haha. The snacks and coffee in the lobby are good too!

We booked 2 rooms here. It was a very nice place, with welcoming and helpful staff, who helped us organize all our transport needs and responded to our many questions. Great breakfast and breakfast room ( with a nice view). Very good location. The rooms were nice and big, and the bathrooms comfortable and well equipped. The location was also great, and we had wonderful walks next to the river and in the local parks, starting just opposite the hotel. We truly enjoyed our stay there.

”Extra-Large Bathtub” doesn't even begin to describe how incredibly large this bathtub was. It was more like a swimming pool. I was in heaven. I loved this hotel, the desk staff don't speak any English but they have these little ai-translation hand held devices (picture a dictaphone that translates) and are extremely helpful with a can-do attitude. I had some urgent documents I needed delivering and the staff were beyond helpful with that, I am very grateful to them. Also upon check-in they bumped me up to a suite (I didn't ask they were just being nice) and holy moly what a room. It was fabulous. The styling of this place is very old colonial palace vibes, I know they have some history displays up relating to the war but I didn't look into it, but it had a very classic airy vibe with traditional furniture and styling and I loved it. Some elements are a bit careworn and showing their age, but everything was immaculately clean. So, yes some elements like the carpeting may have seen better days but it's due to age rather than lack of attention, everything that mattered was sparkling. My shower could have fit about 5 people in there, and the bathtub another 6, so that was a real highlight, but the location was superb as well, it is on a private little resort island right next to the lake where the pagodas and bridges are. There is an easy access exit gate to the lakes, however I think it was run by the other hotel on the island because my key card didn't work late at night, however I must admit I had had a few and maybe wasn't the most able bodied reviewer in that moment. I recommend asking the staff because each night after the lake show with the performance and music lots of families were coming in that back way, so it's definitely possible I was just un-prepared. Regardless, even if you get locked out it's a short walk around to the other side of the island and the gatemen are very friendly. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel although it is not technically run by the hotel which just means it closes slightly earlier (much later than anywhere in Europe still), and when I went in the staff were just sitting around so I wasn't sure if they were open, but when they saw me they sprang into life and actually the older ladies spoke quite a lot of English and were very chatty and friendly, and they also have an iPad with an English ordering app so it is a breeze eating there. The food was very high quality and delicious, it was more expensive than eating in town but I would not say over priced given how good it was. The bar in the hotel is also nice. You can get delivery food brought directly to your room which is also excellent. They don't have room service food but why would you bother when delivery is available. The hotel has a private drive way so getting picked up for excursions or Didi rides is so easy, and the area is beautifully quiet and there are lots of birds. It is very close to all the attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill, which makes doing things (or retreating home due to the fearsome heat) very easy. I will warn you the hotel is nicely airy in the way old villas in Europe are, but because of that your air conditioning will never match that kind of incredible ice cold blast you might be familiar with in Hong Kong. Obviously, this is a very small problem when you can easily cool off in the mega-bath or mega-shower or just sit at a comfortable level of air conditioning, but if you are the kind of foreign traveller who is unaccustomed to the strong heat just be aware that this is a vintage place so you won't be able to whack the AC down to 15c and freeze yourself for relief. I really recommend this hotel, it was absolutely lovely. Oh also there is a lovely jovial old man who comes round in the evening to deliver you milk at bedtime every day, what a guy.

The front desk staff, especially the young man, was great and even upgraded my room. They offer complimentary bottled water at the front desk, along with other small amenities, which shows excellent attention to detail. All the other front desk staff were also very friendly. The hotel's location is perfect, making it super convenient to visit attractions. Plus, it's really good value for money.

The hotel's overall environment is comfortable, and both the open-air pool on the ninth floor and the terrace offer beautiful views. The staff are proactive and friendly, always trying their best to assist with any requests. The front desk provides free tea and fruit, and a simple late-night snack is offered in the evenings. The hotel even gave us a mugwort meridian hammer as a souvenir. What I liked most was the laundry service; they wash and dry your clothes and then deliver them to your room door, saving a lot of time and hassle – very thoughtful. Transportation is also convenient; it's not far to take a taxi to the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and you can rent electric bikes nearby. The breakfast selection is rich and delicious. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.

The breakfast restaurant's operating hours are 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM (see image below). On our last day, my friend arrived around 9:30 AM due to an errand, so we were still dining past 10:00 AM. Other hotels usually don't disturb guests in such situations, and some even offer considerate reassurances like, ”No rush, take your time.” However, this five-star, re-opened state guesthouse repeatedly urged us to leave. Shortly after 10:00 AM, a server tried to clear our plates, claiming the restaurant needed cleaning. Though I didn't understand, I cooperated and said we'd finish quickly. To my surprise, not long after, the restaurant manager (?) personally came to rush us out, stating the restaurant was closing. Although I was displeased, I was willing to negotiate a solution. I asked if we could take the remaining food back to our room (the image below shows all the food my friend and I managed to get before they started clearing), so neither party would be inconvenienced. The manager replied, ”Buffet food cannot be packed.” I then said, ”Okay, in that case, I guess I'll just have to finish it here, I'll be as quick as possible.” The manager turned and left in a huff but returned shortly after. She urged us again, saying, ”You can move to the lobby; we're closing.” At that moment, I was extremely annoyed, but I calmly replied, suppressing my anger, ”Excuse me, I'm going to continue eating my breakfast.” My friend couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled me out of the restaurant, advising me, ”Don't ever stay at this hotel again.” They even joked, ”This is the first time I've left a hotel buffet not full, and it happened at a state guesthouse – quite a memorable experience!” A server rushing guests might indicate inadequate hotel training, but when the restaurant manager personally does it, it only proves that this hotel's quality doesn't match its star rating and its prestige as a state guesthouse.
