THE noisiest + no breakfast
Posted 28 Mar 2018The Expedia description says “breakfast served for surcharge”, but I was told at the front desk that they don’t serve breakfast. There are many restaurants around but no bakeries or supermarkets that sell real groceries for picnics. I had to eat at Chinese restaurants x2 a day, and munched energy bars I had with me because going to a Chinese restaurant x3 a day was too much for me. The room desperately needed renovation: wall and furniture painting peeling off; plastic furniture lining crumbling + daily cleaning didn’t clean up this crumbling mess during my entire stay; taking a shower causing serious leaks on the bathroom floor; the bathroom sink had multiple stains; floor boards squeaking and with scratches everywhere (I was worried about the people staying underneath for squeaking noise problems). Also this was the noisiest place I have ever stayed. It’s on one of the main streets in Yangshuo (a 6-lane kind). If you are sensitive to noise, don’t expect to be able to sleep past 7am. You start to hear the noise of passing cars around 6am and many drivers honk. There is an apartment complex behind the hotel that has a playground. You hear children running around screaming and blasting music to practice some dance routine till 9pm or even later. You DO see those beautiful Yangshuo mountains but they are behind these apartment buildings, just to remind you. It is inexpensive, but I have stayed at many budget accommodations with much better conditions and surrounding.

No perks of the city, no charm of the countryside
Posted 26 Apr 2017 on HotelsThe room was really nice, however the location is terrible. It's pretty far from West Street, so you have to take a bus or taxi to get there. The busses run irregularly and a taxi ride is 20 RMB. It is also right on the main road in and out of town so the traffic was so loud all night I couldn't sleep. There are very few convenience stores or restaurants around. Basically, you are in town, but don't have any of the conveniences of being in town, but you aren't in the peaceful beautiful countryside either. Nice room, but wouldn't stay her again.

Very charming
Posted 10 Nov 2016
Pros: Charm
Cons: Street noise
Location: Nkear bus station and day tips on the Li River
Charming, a lot for the money. Right across from bus station. Unfortunately, the street traffic was very noisy.

Reasonable
Posted 3 Nov 2014 on HotelsClean room and comfortable. Quarry out the back which causes noise in the daytime from drilling. Don't bother with breakfast as it's just a couple of eggs and toast. Overall a reasonable place for the price.

Helpful hotel staff
Posted 12 Jul 2014 on HotelsI stayed in the Suite for 3 nights. It basically consisted of a bed room connected by a passage to the toilet. The passage is converted into a living area with a sofa and coffee table without aircond or tv. I did not use the living room at all as I don't find it inviting or comfortable. One of my major compliant is low water pressure which make showering a real challenge. Instead of a usual 5 to 7 mins shower I have to take more than 1/2 hour. Breakfast is poor and uninviting - no coffee or English tea. The saving grace is that the hotel staff are very helpful and obliging.

We enjoyed this hotel. The staffs are super helpful in arranging tickets, transportation and giving recommendation. The only minor thing is that it will be great if they can make the hall smoking free.

a great value in Yangshuo
Posted 25 Feb 2014
Pros: price and comfort
Cons: location isnt the best
Location: the evening show Impressions Shanjie is within walking distance, but the main downtown shopping/tourist area is a bit far -- requiring a taxi
Price cant be beat, and staff is friendly, although English only spoken by certain staff

Modern hotel
Posted 19 Feb 2014
Pros: Decent wifi in room. Anough for video skype.
Location: The hotel is located at the outskirts. But the town in pretty small - you can reach main tourist street (West St.) within 15 min. on foot.
Modern hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. Would stay here again.
