Very good value for money, whether it is a friend or a family trip is very suitable. I really feel that I am operating with care and there is no invisible consumption. Next time I come to Guilin, I still choose here, I really recommend it to friends who are ready to travel!"

"Perfect! It's an established, re-renovated state guesthouse. Parking is convenient, service is excellent, and breakfast is abundant. The environment is beautiful and grand, complete with a rooftop garden. A side exit leads directly to the riverbank of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, where you can walk along the river all the way to the free Elephant Trunk Hill Park and see the Twin Pagodas along the way. However, I couldn't see the river view from my room; it was completely obstructed by trees."

"After much deliberation, I chose this hotel in MixC Mall during my trip to Guilin. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about a hotel with its front desk upstairs, thinking it might be a bit subpar. However, I was completely blown away upon arrival! The hotel is really well-appointed with excellent amenities, and the room was spotlessly clean. They even provide bathrobes and two types of slippers. The hotel thoughtfully offered complimentary drinks and welcome fruits – I couldn't believe this was a hotel for just over 200 yuan! The room had an expansive view, offering both cityscapes and mountain views. Opening the window to such lush greenery was incredibly refreshing. The bathroom and shower area were also very clean, making for a very comfortable stay. We upgraded to include breakfast, which turned out to be fantastic. The breakfast spread was quite generous, featuring both Western and Chinese options, and there was even a dedicated station making fresh Guilin rice noodles! I was genuinely surprised by how delicious the hotel's Guilin rice noodles were, haha! The service was also great, and the dining environment was pleasant – quiet and not noisy at all. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered panoramic views of the outside. Most importantly, being located in MixC Mall made it incredibly convenient for both shopping and dining out! Highly recommend!"

"The front desk lady was super friendly. She thoughtfully arranged for our five rooms to be on the same floor, in a row, which made it really convenient for us to look after our family. The hotel's location is excellent, and the decor has a lovely Mediterranean style. It offers great value for money, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The breakfast was abundant and featured Guilin rice noodles – you could have them in soup or mixed – along with crispy roast pork and a generous self-serve selection of condiments. Turn right when you leave the hotel, and you'll find Gate 3 of Elephant Trunk Hill Park and the Sun and Moon Pagodas right there. Turn left, and you're at the pedestrian street. Getting around is incredibly easy. Highly recommend for exploring Guilin city!👍🏻"

Sheraton Guilin Hotel ★★★★★
"Choosing the Sheraton Guilin Hotel for my trip to Guilin was an excellent decision; the overall experience was absolutely perfect, making it a top choice for anyone visiting the city. The hotel boasts a prime location with stunning, direct views of the Li River's scenic beauty, and it's right next to the core Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area. From my room's floor-to-ceiling windows, I could admire a picturesque blend of peaks and rivers – verdant hills and clear waters by day, and a dazzling display of lights along the banks with cruise boats gliding across the lake at night. It was easy to snap some truly atmospheric photos. Transportation is incredibly convenient. Popular attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill, East and West Alleys, and Sun and Moon Pagodas are all within walking distance. The hotel is also surrounded by bustling pedestrian streets and food districts, so there's no need to travel far for sightseeing or dining, saving a lot of travel time. A special shout-out goes to Yuri at the front desk. She handled my check-in quickly and efficiently, was consistently gentle and friendly, and proactively and thoughtfully explained local sightseeing routes and hotel amenities. She patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions, providing truly attentive and warm service. My room was spotless and tidy, with soft and comfortable bedding. The five-star facilities are comprehensive and complemented by thoughtful, human-centric service. Combining beautiful natural scenery with excellent service, I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Guilin."

Mulan Yaju Homestay (Two Rivers and Four Lakes Xiangshan Scenic Area) ★★
"During the holiday, I brought two babies to Guilin to play, and I accidentally found a treasure shop! The location is easy to find on the Lijiang River. It only takes 10 minutes to take a taxi from Guilin Station to the store. After arriving at the store, the boss went out to help with the luggage, and each person sent a cup of local special Luo Han Guo tea, which tasted very good. Because there was a telephone consultation in advance, the store's WeChat was added in advance, and the store sent a graphic and text guide, but after arriving at the store, the staff still took the trouble to recommend the tour route in Guilin city and the local specialties that do not step on the pit. Give the boss a careful compliment. The room was clean and tidy, the ground was dragged and bright, and the utensils were complete. After going upstairs to rest, I was going out to play. The boss said that I could wear the special Zhuang costumes in the store for free! There are many styles, as a value-added service in the store without charge, I really recommend this small store! One night of staying in the store is the best experience in Guilin!"
