Holiday Inn Guilin Qixing(Liangjiang Sihu Scenic and Exhibition Center)

"During the Dragon Boat Festival, we brought our child to Guilin and it rained continuously, making it very inconvenient to go out. Luckily, we chose this Qixing Holiday Hotel. The family room was spacious, with separate areas for play and rest, equipped with a small tent and play mat. Since we couldn't go out to play due to the rain, our child had a great time playing in the room. The hotel also has an indoor children's playground, which was perfect for letting the kids burn off energy on a rainy day without having to brave the outdoors. The breakfast offered a wide variety of mild options, suitable for children. The hotel environment was quiet and serene, not noisy at all. It was only about a ten-minute drive to city attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area, and parking was convenient. For a family trip during the rainy season, staying here was stress-free and effortless. We would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Guilin."

"The hotel staff provided excellent service. They gave us a free upgrade to a 2.4 tatami room. Around 11 PM, I went out to hang laundry and planned to take the stairs to the top floor. I ran into a friendly front desk staff member who kindly pressed the elevator button for the seventh floor for me. Before we left, they gave us a souvenir. Halfway home, I realized my child's sun protection jacket was left behind, and they immediately arranged for SF Express to mail it to us. Thumbs up!

"I had a great time at this hotel. The location is great next to a shopping street and the room was beautiful and was kept very clean. The hotel staff were very accommodating and helped me plan an amazing overnight trip to Yangshuo. I’d high recommend this place to anyone traveling in Guilin/Yangshuo! I’d recommend riding around the city with the rental e-scooters and taking a river cruise to spend the night in Yangshuo while you’re here (you won’t regret it)"
