Romantic Hotels in Guangxi, China

Check-in was on the 13th floor, which is also where the afternoon tea, *luosifen* (snail noodles), and coffee are served – basically everything is on the 13th floor. I booked a king-sized bed on the 9th floor. As shown in picture 1, the view was quite nice, but the room was a bit small. Since I was with my elderly parents and wanted a bathtub, I asked the butler if we could switch to a twin room on the 3rd floor. As shown in picture 2, the view wasn't as good as on the 9th floor, but the room was much more spacious, which was great. Room facilities: Smart features, with a TV that can cast from your devices, and a smart toilet. Cleanliness: Very good and clean. Service: Upon arrival, the concierge helped us with our luggage and took us to the 13th floor. The front desk lady added me on WeChat and provided excellent service, helping us switch to a bigger room. When we went out, we asked for amenities to be left in the room, and they provided quite a lot. I got motion sickness and threw up in the sink at night. The front desk lady had an auntie come to clean, and she wasn't at all impatient, saying it was no problem. She cleaned it very thoroughly, which was wonderful! I was feeling too unwell to help my parents with the self-service laundry, but even late at night, the front desk lady was still available and came to assist. The next day, a robot delivered the items to our room door. Overall, the stay was quite good. Due to my health, I threw up several times at night, so I only had some fruit for breakfast. Breakfast: Generally enough to fill you up, but not many drink options. I mainly wanted iced orange juice, haha. Special thanks to 😍😍: The concierge, the front desk lady, and the housekeeping auntie! The front desk lady in picture 9 was amazing! I hope her boss gives her a bonus! 🍗

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!

I highly recommend the Guolong Hotel! The biggest surprise was the huge parking lot – there's so much space that both family cars and business vehicles can park with ease, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. The front desk service was absolutely excellent; the staff were warm and thoughtful, handling check-in quickly and efficiently. They even proactively offered tips for local attractions, which really enhanced the whole check-in experience!

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!

Misty Guilin, truly lives up to its reputation! With a view right outside the window, stepping downstairs transports you into a picturesque scroll of mountains and rivers – distant peaks like painted brows, nearby waters hazy with mist, and swirling clouds that make you feel like you've entered an ink-wash fairyland. Choosing this place meant even a rainy day became a rare and beautiful experience. What was even more delightful was the hotel's service. The one-on-one butler was thoughtful and meticulous, ensuring everything ran smoothly from check-in to check-out. In the morning, that authentic bowl of Guilin rice noodles, with its rich卤香 (lu xiang - savory braised flavor), left a lasting impression. The room facilities were comprehensive, and the cleanliness was impeccable. This trip's perfect experience was set from the moment I first gazed out the window at the stunning view. Waking up in a misty haze and falling asleep surrounded by mountains and rivers – I wholeheartedly recommend this Guilin to anyone yearning for a poetic escape.

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...

The location is quiet yet convenient for getting around, not too noisy but still easily accessible. **Cleanliness**: Very clean. **Ambiance**: The overall environment feels high-quality and worth the price. It's not like those regular guesthouses that jack up prices to over a thousand during peak season but have cheap decor. **Breakfast**: A rich variety of options, the rice noodles were delicious, and the corn juice was great. **Service**: Everyone was excellent, always greeting you when they saw you. Highly recommend.

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! 😊
