Yanshan District Hotels, Guilin

"Very nice hotel with great staff, but English is barely spoken by one person at the front desk. If you don't speak Chinese, you'll have a tough time, but you can get by with a translator. Conveniently located to dining and a couple of tourist attractions. Breakfast buffet included a good variety of western and Chinese choices. It's a comfortable choice, except that the room had no air conditioning. I'm thinking they just don't let it run in February, so the room was always hot, unless a window was opened. They did help with a fan, though."

"Xiao Ming is probally the best person I met in my life "

"The best hotel we stay in China for our trip. I can't describe it, you need to experience it. Hotel location is very close to a big market. Room very unique, has a tea ceremony area in the room. We all like this hotel. "

"Great selection of various offerings "

"Best hotel ever."

"One of the best hotels I have been to. I highly recommended "

"An excellent stay. The views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. The staff were lovely and fantastically helpful. They spoke good English and were able to arrange all the trips we needed including transport and tickets. Not only that but they ensured the drivers took us to the right entry points and were clear about where to pick us up from. We were able to have a ‘tab’ and pay for all our food, trips and massages in one payment at checkout. They were able to take Visa and not just Alipay as was the case with other places we stayed. The building and garden are well designed and all the furniture and fittings have been carefully selected and are tasteful and attractive. The rural location means the views are spectacular but does mean it’s a 50 minute walk from town, but it is possible to get the free shuttle or arrange for a taxi. The food is good quality home cooked fare and there were plenty of vegetarian options and both western and Chinese food available. We had a fabulous stay and are grateful to the lovely staff for all their help"
