    Nothing loved it all.

    I spent 10 weeks in China and this was the best place I stayed. I stayed for 6 nights. There is one reason for that and that is the staff. They are all excellent, so polite friendly and helpful. The 3 amazing reception staff speak great English and will help you with anything regarding your stay but are also willing to have a chat about anything which is so welcoming as many other hotels do not have English speaking staff. I will not mention any member of staff because they are all great, including breakfast staff , cleaners etc, the whole team. The location is great next to the lakes and central for everything in Guilin. The room was large, bed comfortable, hot shower, great Wi-Fi and good air con. Breakfast was lovely and a good western/Chinese variety. If you are coming to Guilin I highly recommend you stay here.

    Can't think of any points.

    The property has a touch of an old feel. Cleanliness up to my expectation. Bed is comfy. The staff speaks good English and they were most helpful especially Ida. The management surprised me a birthday cake as it was my birthday on the check-in date.

    As a small boutique hotel, there is no elevator so may be a problem for some people. Hotel staff carried our suitcases up and down the stairs, though, so not a problem for us.

    This is an exceptional, exquisite property - in itself worth the trip to Guilin!! It used to he a small museum, and it is full of beautiful artwork and artifacts, including displays of fragments of Ming pottery found when the lake was recently expanded!! Rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. Tremendous value.

    There wasn't anything, it was all amazing.

    Everything! The hotel is lovely, the staff are super nice and helpful and all speak English. The breakfast was great, lots of choices and the view is so nice. The rooms are perfect, they have a bow window to relax in with a tea and towels, beds are changed every day. The hotel is in a really good location. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and the lake right in front is beuatful at night with all the lights. It's only around a 10 minute walk to the sun and moon Pagodas. The massage at the hotel was amazing, I had the full body oil massage and was one of the best massages I've had. The trips from the hotel were managed well, we went on the night cruise which was great and the longji rice fields and long hair village is a 100% must do. I'd also recommend the reed Flute Cave, it was incredible. The restaurants recommended by the hotel were great, you have to go to Mcfound. We went 3 times in the 4 days we were there, it was that good! Get the pork with chestnuts! :) also Oolong tea nearby is a must for delicious drinks. We also went there every day.

    The hotel has a beautiful interior design, as befits a museum. It so happened that we stayed in three different rooms in the hotel during our stay. All rooms were clean, functional, and very nice. Sympathetic, polite and helpful staff who spoke English. We had no problem leaving our luggage for our one-day trip to Yangchuo. The location of the hotel is right next to the lakes and the park surrounding them. I highly recommend this hotel

    - Our room had a lot of humidity. Even though we had a dehumidifier in the room we could still smell it); - There’s not a self-service laundry room.

    - The location was quite good; - The breakfast was very satisfying; - Every member of the staff was really nice with us and we were allowed to checkout two hours later.

    The staff was very nice and helpful, nearly fluent in english. If you are interested, a lot of program is offered and could be organised for you. The location is great, nearby the train Station ( 25 min. Walk) and the river and seas. The furnishing is very pretty and special. The Breakfast was very tasty - Chinese and Continental as most of the guests were non-chinese. It was possible to have Breakfast 30 min earlier as offered, because we had to leave. Thanks again.
