Romantic Hotels in Guangxi, China

The hotel is new and the service is excellent. It's very convenient, and they even thoughtfully provided disposable bath bags and toilet seat covers. Downstairs, you're right by the river, and next to a night market with street food and a pedestrian street. You absolutely have to try the complimentary wheat bran hair wash – it seems to be a specialty of Liuzhou, with hair salons everywhere. I paid extra for the family combo, which was incredibly comfortable and great value for money. The travel photos turned out amazing, highly recommended! The family room was on the 2nd floor. I thought for such a high price, we'd get a higher floor with a river view, but the upside was that the kids' ball pit was right outside the door, and my child had a fantastic time. The floor-to-ceiling windows at the 12th-floor bar and the outdoor balcony at the 13th-floor restaurant offer a great view of the musical fountain at night, helping you avoid the crowds downstairs. The only downside is that the hotel gets busy, and the restaurant is a bit small, so there were no tables available during breakfast peak hours. If I get the chance to visit Liuzhou again, I'll definitely stay at the Wyndham.

Great experience at LS Hotel. There’s a butler for each room. Our butler Mayling (小徐) is very helpful. The view from our room is beautiful. They provided free afternoon tea and morning buffet every day in my booking, and one free 30 minutes photography session at the premises during my stay. The hotel can help you to book for some activities with small discount too, I believe they have partnership with some attraction providers. I booked the hot air balloon tour to see sunrise with 20rmb discount per person. However, it was unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather. I’d love to come back for it next time. I’ve been given some local snack packs and chilli sauce as souvenirs when I checked out, that’s very thoughtful. The highlight for me is the Guilin Rice Noodles (Guilin Mifen) from the breakfast buffet. I tried two highly rated restaurants in the area but I think the one from the hotel breakfast buffet is the best. They have a noodle station that you can choose your own. I’d recommend Guilin LS hotel and come back for another stay if I visit Guilin again.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, nestled in the city center with a wonderfully elegant ambiance. Even though it's on a pedestrian street, you won't hear any noise – stepping inside feels like entering a tranquil paradise. The service is exceptional; they even helped us with our luggage during check-in and enthusiastically told us about Guilin's attractions. We felt a warmth like home in Guilin. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to any friends visiting Guilin in the future!

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.

The hotel's biggest plus is its excellent location. We booked a lake-view room and could see Rong Lake right across. Just a short walk from the hotel is the Rong Lake scenic area, complete with a winding bridge. A little further takes you to Shan Lake, where you can admire the Sun and Moon Pagodas. We saw them during the day and then returned in the evening to enjoy their night view. Past the pagodas, you can walk to the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area. From there, it's a short stroll to Zheng Yang Pedestrian Street, Dongxi Alley, Central Square, and Zhongshan Middle Road. We spent a whole day on a city walk, really soaking in Guilin's urban atmosphere. In the evening, passing by Rong Lake, we even stumbled upon an older brass band playing everything from 'Butterfly Lovers' to 'Woman Flower,' with people spontaneously joining in with square dancing – it was so much fun! The hotel breakfast offered rice noodles and oil tea, which was a great local experience. Another bonus is that each floor has a laundry room and dryer, and you can even leave a note for the staff to help with washing and delivery. No more waiting around for a washing machine!

This hotel boasts stunning scenery, offering an unobstructed view of the Li River. We stayed in a room with a terrace, where we could relax on a recliner and watch the sunrise and sunset – truly deserving of its spot on Asia's most beautiful hotels list. The room was spacious and well-equipped, featuring a smart toilet and fast hot water. The bedding was comfortable, and the room was clean and tidy. The staff were all very enthusiastic and provided excellent service. You can also go fishing by the river on the ground floor, and in the afternoon, there's cormorant fishing where you can take free photos – a great experience if you're with kids. Plus, the hotel's central location makes it convenient for visiting many attractions.

Let's start with check-in. After I checked in, the front desk attendant personally escorted me to my room, added me on WeChat, and even provided a travel guide, which was great. The room facilities are truly excellent, and the room itself is very spacious, making for a fantastic experience. It's close to all the main attractions, so you can easily walk back to the hotel. Once back, they offer mung bean porridge, various teas, and fruits. It's genuinely worth recommending. I took a video of the hotel environment, but I can't seem to upload it.

Xixi Hot Spring♨️ has become a regular spot for us, and this is our first visit this year. We came as a family of four. They’ve built a new highway, so it's a short drive from the exit. Usually, we come during off-peak times, but this time we chose a weekend, so it was a bit crowded, though still acceptable. The price was about 200 yuan higher than usual. When booking, I requested a high floor and a quiet room, which they mostly accommodated. However, the non-smoking request was a bit awkward. I'm not sure if it was a neighbor upstairs, downstairs, or next door, but the smoke smell permeated our room. While we were in our private hot tub, the smell of smoke was constant and very unpleasant. We had to keep the door closed. It wasn't a big deal for the adults, but mainly for the child👶🏻. I can't blame the staff who assigned the room, nor can I stop people from smoking, as that's their freedom, so it was really awkward. Other aspects: Compared to our previous visits, there are more hot spring pools now. They've built many new buildings, the main entrance has been moved, and there are more children's entertainment facilities. The resort is growing larger. Room: The room was relatively clean, and the front desk staff were very friendly. We bought some local Nanxiang roast duck for a late-night snack. When we called the front desk at night to ask if they had a microwave, they offered to come to our room and help heat it up. The service was excellent and very enthusiastic. Outdoor Hot Spring: The small pools near the children's playground were a bit dirty, with a lot of large pieces of dead skin. It was quite disgusting. We didn't notice it at first, and our child even went in for a dip. We immediately made them take a shower. The other pools were quite clean, despite the large number of people. Buffet Dinner: This was my first time trying the buffet; previously, we always ordered à la carte at the hotel restaurant upstairs. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and the roast goose was absolutely amazing – crispy skin and great flavor. The oysters were also delicious, and there was an unlimited supply of short ribs. Basically, everything was there except for a limited selection of seafood, which only included shrimp🦐, calamari rings, and mussels. Buffet Breakfast: The variety was extensive, just like before, but there were only a few things I really wanted to eat. They had congee, noodles, and rice, but nothing new. I was quite disappointed that they didn't have steamed phoenix claws and spare ribs, which I think should be standard dim sum items. To sum it all up, it's pretty good! There are always some minor imperfections, and I look forward to improvements...

Overall pleasant hotel with nice mountain views. We liked the service, the reception staff was kind enough to help us connect with local railway company to find a lost item we left on the train. Swimming pool is nice, rooms are very spacious and have beautiful furniture, design is very ergonomic. Very good local noodles for breakfast. We received photography coupon as a bonus, it was fun taking photos in a traditional costume, highly recommended experience! Things to improve: robes, pillows and blankets are made from synthetic materials and are not pleasant to touch, it is better to change to natural materials; shower box is leaking too much, need to fix this; it would be great to have more local fruit and sweets for breakfast like buns, mochi, kumquat erc. - western baked stuff does not taste that good. Note for April 2026 -- there is a massive construction happening around the romance park, so construction cranes can be seen in the distance. There is no noise, but it can spoil the view a little.

Facilities: The facilities are very new and comprehensive, and they even have robots delivering meals, which is incredibly thoughtful. Cleanliness: It's very clean, which gives you peace of mind. Environment: It's located right above MixC, making it convenient to go anywhere. Service: Ms. Elva was patient and meticulous throughout, explaining everything wonderfully. Guangxi Specialty ”Gongwenbao” Welcome Drink: So delicious! A must-try when in Nanning! This trip was for a business trip. I stayed at the same place for the working days, but I decided to extend my stay by one more day before heading back, wanting to experience Nanning's tallest hotel. Shangri-La is a well-established brand; the first 5-star hotel I ever stayed in was a Shangri-La. I was pleasantly surprised this time after booking when a staff member, Ms. Elva, directly escorted me from the front desk to the Horizon Club lounge for VIP reception. She also upgraded my room type, giving me a more expansive view and greater comfort. During the reception, she gave me a Guangxi ”Gongwenbao” fruit tea and a bag of Luosifen! After entering the room, she meticulously explained how to use everything, which was very thoughtful and responsible! It's a pity that I caught a cold and had a fever the day before checking in this time. Besides ordering takeout once and having breakfast the next morning, I didn't get to properly enjoy the other facilities, which is a bit of a regret. However, having regrets means there's a next time to make it perfect. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the near future! 😊
