Guilin Spa Hotels

The hotel's location right by the Li River is quite peaceful, which I prefer over the noisy West Street area since I'm a light sleeper. I really appreciate that the front desk upgraded my room type. It's not far from West Street pedestrian street either, offering a quiet escape while still being convenient, almost like being on a backstreet in the countryside. The hotel also has its own restaurant where I ate both my meals; the food was delicious and good value for money, plus guests get a 10% discount. After dinner, a stroll along the river is lovely and relaxing, with locals also out for walks. You can get some great photos of the river and mountain views from the hotel's rooftop. They also offer self-service laundry and drying, which is super handy given how rainy and humid the weather can be here. All the staff, including housekeeping and restaurant servers, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

The hygiene was absolutely top-notch, and the environment was beautiful and incredibly comfortable. The rooftop observation deck offers fantastic photo opportunities. It truly felt like home, very warm and cozy. Even on the second floor, the views were great. My kids especially loved the big bathtub, and the hotel was so thoughtful to even provide bath bombs. Breakfast was served in the mornings, afternoon tea in the afternoons, and sweet mung bean soup was available in the evenings – all complimentary and a really nice touch! On the first floor, there's a game room and a pool for kids to relax and play. But the absolute best part was the front desk staff, especially the ladies. They were super helpful, even assisting with booking taxis. Every time we came back from an outing, they'd ask if we were thirsty and reminded us to drink water, and we could take as much water as we wanted. Huge thanks to them! Oh, and the rice noodles for breakfast were absolutely delicious! 😋

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.

This is my go-to hotel whenever I'm traveling, it offers incredible value for money. The room was spotlessly clean, the bathroom had no unpleasant odors, and there was always hot water available. All the toiletries were well-stocked. The mattress was just the right firmness, ensuring a super refreshing night's sleep. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the Wi-Fi speed was consistently stable, great for streaming or working without any lag. It's conveniently located downstairs for easy access to transport, and the front desk staff are really welcoming and helpful – they sorted out any issues right away. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. Whether it's for a business trip or a short getaway, staying here is worry-free and comfortable. The price is fantastic; you get a pleasant stay for a small cost. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town.

I'm not a shill, and the hotel didn't ask me to write a good review. I'm a Trip.com Black Diamond member, and I average 50-70 nights in hotels each year. My good reviews are always written willingly, hahaha~ Alright, now that you've read my first sentence, you can check out my objective review. This trip was just my husband and I, no kids, but I'm really looking forward to bringing our son next time~ The hotel is incredibly kid-friendly~ They have a starry sky pool, a kids' play area, and the restaurant food is very clean. Right outside is the Shui'erdi Pier, which is where the bamboo raft drift for the Yulong River's essence section departs. The hotel's hardware, software, decor, and cleanliness are all five-star, absolutely nothing to complain about. The service attitude is incredibly good, truly up to five-star hotel standards, I'm not kidding, especially since I've stayed at Lux and can compare~ The rooftop cafe is perfect for photos~ The afternoon tea 🫖 is nice! Every time we returned to the hotel, the front desk would warmly greet us, asking if we were tired or where we'd been. The front desk小姐姐 (young lady) even gave me mosquito repellent spray, a small bag, and a souvenir, I was so touched. We slept wonderfully at night, the hotel's soundproofing is excellent. Compared to the Muyu we stayed at the day before, across from the Romance Park, for a similar price, Mengyuan is heavenly, and Muyu is on the ground. Muyu's 1000+ yuan room only offered a view of a massive construction site, which was truly speechless. The hotel can help book tickets, and they're much cheaper. The hotel also offers electric scooter rentals 🛵 which is very convenient~ It's lovely to ride to West Street or Kang Kang Tangshui Shop for some dessert in the evening. Yangshuo's beautiful scenery was made even more special by the hotel. A perfect trip heals all stress and anxiety~ Thank you, Mengyuan, for giving my husband and me a perfect romantic getaway. We will definitely bring our child next time~ I'll recommend it to all my friends. ♥️ If I had to mention one small area for improvement, it would be the breakfast; it could be slightly better.

Sugar House was one of the highlights of our trip to China. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen somewhere special. The hotel is beautifully designed, blending contemporary luxury with its historic surroundings in a way that feels both unique and peaceful. Our room was spacious, stylish and extremely comfortable, with stunning views over the karst landscape. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Yangshuo. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. Breakfast offered a great selection of both Chinese and Western options, and every meal we had at the hotel restaurant was beautifully prepared using excellent local ingredients. Everything was consistently excellent and a real highlight of our stay. What really elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional service. Every member of staff was warm, welcoming and genuinely eager to help. They assisted us in arranging transport and offered excellent recommendations for exploring the surrounding area, making everything effortless. The location was perfect for us—peaceful and secluded, yet within easy reach of Yangshuo’s incredible scenery. We spent the day rafting on the Yulong River, visiting Fuli Bridge, Moon Hill and Xingping, before returning to relax by the beautiful riverside pool each evening. It was the ideal balance of adventure and tranquillity. Sugar House is much more than a luxury hotel; it is a destination in its own right. We left wishing we had booked an extra night and would not hesitate to return. It is a truly exceptional place that we will remember for a very long time.

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!

📍 **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!

This stay didn't quite live up to the Shangri-La brand standard. When I returned to the hotel, my room door wouldn't open. The front desk confirmed my key card was working, and a staff member accompanied me upstairs, only to discover a faulty door lock. The entire process took nearly an hour. On the positive side, the duty manager later intervened, arranged for me to relax in the executive lounge, and moved me to a different room, all while being very apologetic and professional. However, I believe the hotel's emergency response could be improved. If the door lock couldn't be fixed quickly, why wasn't a room change offered sooner, instead of making me wait for almost an hour? Additionally, there were noticeable signs of repair or tampering around the faulty door lock, which made me wonder if similar issues had occurred before. I hope the hotel thoroughly inspects all relevant rooms, rather than just fixing the immediate problem. After moving rooms, I also found an insect, possibly a rove beetle, on the pillow. I was too tired to report it at the time. Furthermore, the shower area only had a handheld showerhead and no overhead one. For this price point and brand, the amenities felt a bit lacking. While the duty manager's service was commendable, there's still room for improvement in terms of facility maintenance, emergency response efficiency, room cleanliness, and some of the hardware provisions.

This hotel may seem unassuming, but it surprisingly features a small pool and a viewing platform with great views of the surroundings. The platform even has a cute setup perfect for taking photos. The breakfast buffet was quite generous, and the first-floor restaurant offered a complimentary late-night dessert buffet. We stayed in a family room with a 1.5m single bed and a 1.8m double bed, and it was decorated very warmly. You can rent electric scooters for 30 or 40 yuan per day, just return them before 11 PM. The staff, from the front desk to the cleaning ladies, were all very enthusiastic, patient, and thoughtful.
