Hotels With Pools in Guangxi, China

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!

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.

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! 🍗

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!

1) This hotel is literally situated on the China-Vietnam border. From my room window, I could see Vietnam, and the front desk even warned me that if I had an iPhone, it might pick up signals from the neighboring country and my time zone could change. The rooftop observation deck offers an even better view of the border scenery, encompassing both Dongxing in China and Mong Cai in Vietnam. 2) When I booked on Trip.com, I specifically requested a non-smoking room, and the hotel front desk truly delivered! The floor and room were genuinely free of any secondhand smoke. Honestly, in a fourth-tier city in (what is arguably the world's number one country for secondhand smoke), this was a rare and pleasant surprise. 3) It's quite close to the Dongxing Port, just a 5-minute walk away. If you want to experience the charm of a border town right from your room, and if you appreciate clean room facilities and fresh, natural air, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

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.

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! 😊

My trip happened to coincide with the hotel being fully booked, so I had to wait a bit upon arrival, which naturally made me a little anxious. However, the front desk staff consistently reassured me with patience, kept me updated on the room status, and provided exceptionally thoughtful service. Upon learning of the situation, the hotel duty manager proactively came to communicate and coordinate. Their attitude was sincere and their handling efficient throughout. Despite the hotel being full, they still went above and beyond to arrange a room with a great location and type for me, which was a very pleasant surprise. From waiting to check-in, there was no perfunctory service or buck-passing; the staff were professional and warm, truly putting the guest first. Although there was a slight wait initially, the hotel's attentive service and the manager's proactive and responsible handling completely made up for the minor hiccup. The overall check-in experience exceeded my expectations and is highly recommended; I will definitely choose to stay here again.

The hotel facilities are complete and the overall cleanliness is excellent. The service is great, and the lobby environment is very pleasant. The staff are warm and attentive, especially the front desk, who were incredibly enthusiastic and even helped with an upgrade. I had a very satisfying stay, and overall, it offers great value for money. I would definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

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.
