Li River Hotel (Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Xiangshan Scenic Spot)
"The room was spacious with a great ambiance. The hotel boasts stunning views, especially of the Twin Pagodas, and its location is fantastic – just a short walk to Elephant Trunk Hill and the old town. The Twin Pagodas at night are breathtaking! The restaurant upstairs is also worth trying. Highly recommended!"
Holiday Inn Express GUILIN CITY CENTER by IHG
"Great location and amazing service. Check in was very quick and easy, and the front desk staff Jolin was so incredibly nice and polite - she gave me a free room upgrade with free breakfast! Room was very clean and big, view was nice too. Thank you very much!"

Sheraton Guilin Hotel
"I highly recommend the Sheraton Guilin! The rooms are exquisitely decorated, and both the room facilities and bathroom are well-maintained, offering a very comfortable stay. The hotel amenities are comprehensive, with a clean and tidy outdoor pool. The gym has a full range of equipment, perfectly adequate for a daily workout. The children's play area is clean and safe, making it ideal for families with kids. It's great for family trips, balancing both relaxation and entertainment. Front desk receptionist Cody provided excellent service, recommending places to eat and even upgrading our room. We'll definitely come back if we have the chance!"
SYYF Li River Landscape Courtyard Hotel (Guilin Elephant Hill Scenic Spot)
"Upgraded to a balcony room for one night, directly facing the beautiful Li River and Fubo Hill. The evening breeze was so pleasant. The double sinks, toilet, and shower room were all separate, which was very convenient. Later, we moved to a 180-degree river view room, where I could just relax on the tatami mat and gaze at the river – truly a stolen moment of leisure. The oversized bathtub was perfect for a relaxing soak and stress relief. The mini-bar was free, and the complimentary fruit at night was delicious. The butler and front desk staff were all so kind, polite, and provided excellent service, always ready to help. They proactively asked daily if we needed anything, if the room temperature was comfortable, or if we wanted to choose different pillows. We slept wonderfully every night. The hotel breakfast offered a great variety, including two types of rice noodles (dry and soup). There were also two kinds of herbal teas daily, like luo han guo and goji berry. We had dinner à la carte, and the food was delicious, the ambiance beautiful, making it perfect for photos. The hotel package included a photoshoot with a good selection of outfits. The photographer was patient and meticulous, and selecting the photos was a smooth process. My mom absolutely loved the hotel's cultural handicraft experience; she made three phone charms and really enjoyed it. I also tried the hotel spa. The masseuse was quiet throughout but worked hard, and her technique was very good. The most memorable part of our Guilin trip was our stay at Lijiang Courtyard. We felt completely at home. We'll definitely book here again next time!"
Yinian Designer Jiangjing Yisu (Guilin Liangjiang Sihu Elephant Trunk Hill Branch)
"the staff is helpful. Nice location with Nice view. The hotel has a cute decoration ."
Lijiang Moon View · Quiet Holiday Lakeside Hotel (Guilin Two Rivers & Four Lakes Area)
Set peacefully along the interconnected waterways, this serene boutique lodging is prized for its highly tranquil garden environment and intimate personalised hospitality for romantic escapes.
Li River CIAO Hotel( Guilin Elephant Trunk Hill)
"The hotel's location is great, right next to the Li River. It's surrounded by a residential area, making it relatively quiet, perfect for a stroll along the river. It's also not far from attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill and Duxiu Peak. The hotel's decor is simple yet well-equipped. The shower water pressure is a bit low. Parking spaces are limited, but the staff managing them are very responsible and always find a suitable spot."
