    The price was clearly very different from others, and didn't include breakfast. I will avoid using booking.com especially when in China.

    Great service from Lydia.

    Not too many things to do inside the hotel.

    The location is great, just in front of the river and a few meters walking from the market and shops.

    The check-in process was chaotic. The staff couldn't find our booking initially, after they found it and we checked in, we had to wait for our room to be ready. Waiting was fine, but after waiting for half an hour, they were confused as to whether we were checked in or not. There was a J&J event that day, and the staff couldn't handle the crowd efficiently.

    Noisy. Windows are not double glassed, so constant street noise and neighbouring rooms. Reserved a club level hottub room. No club lounge or advantages and hottub was only a small bath. My bad expected a jacuzzi.

    the room decor was dated and the air con didn't really work. the outdoor swimming pool wasn't heated which wasn't clear from the description, therefore we could not use during our stay. the open view restaurant in the pictures shown is booking only which was not clear from the description overall, the experience was slightly disappointing

    nice hotel lobby, central location to explore Guilin, staff was friendly

    For me and my friends, the down side is that it didn’t have cooling air condition. They told us because it is winter season, it only has heating system and Guilin during our stay was not cold enough to use the heater.

    The location is absolutely spot on. It is near to most attractions. Loving it

    Check in and check out. There is a lot of customers /groups. It took 30 minutes to check in and even more to checkout. Not enough reception counters open and rather messy.

    It’s a rather standard hotel, welcoming big groups. The room was fine, without special interest. The swimming pool is very deep and nice, but absolutely no shade, except few umbrellas. Breakfast was ok. We were having a late check out, which was very nice because of late departure of our plane

    Location is fine, it's walking distance to the main attractions.

    As a Marriott Platinum member, It's nightmare. Biohazards and management negligence. Avoid."
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Classic Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Deeply Alarming Incidents As a frequent traveler with Marriott Platinum status (100+ nights), I’m shocked by what happened here: 1. Pillow with Suspected Biological Substance After 8 hours of sleep, I discovered dark, dried stains resembling blood on the pillow (photo evidence). Management declined responsibility, stating procedures were followed – implying guest causation. No remediation offered. 2. Confirmed Human Feces in Bathroom Noticed an unidentified object on the bathroom floor post-shower. Physical examination confirmed ≈10g of human feces (photo evidence). Staff acknowledged: "Bathroom inspection was overlooked during cleaning." Contamination was removed without further investigation. 3. Immediate Safety Failure in Relocated Room The replacement room’s balcony door handle detached due to loose screws upon initial operation (photo evidence), indicating poor maintenance. Additional Deficiencies Air quality: required full-window ventilation due to irritants causing persistent coughing. Non-functional AC: No observable difference between 26°C and 18°C settings. Outdated infrastructure: Cramped layout, low ceilings, visibly worn furnishings. Value concern: Priced 30-50% above comparable nearby properties. Objective Travel Advisory Exercise extreme caution. Management demonstrated negligence regarding biological hazards and safety protocols. At USD 100+/night, this represents poor value. Families should prioritize properties with rigorous hygiene standards.

    Location & Amenities Prime riverside location: Direct access to shopping streets and Elephant Trunk Hill. The 7th-floor Executive Lounge offers stunning misty views of Li River during rain. Breakfast variety is adequate, featuring local Guilin rice noodles.

    I had a room facing the Main Street. The sound insulation of the room is very bad. I was woken up every morning around 7 am by traffic and people shouting in the street. The staff in the hotel reception, bar and restaurant hardly speak English. Bar and restaurent staffs are poorly trained. I had dinner in the restaurent one evening and I ordered a steak medium cooked. It turned out to be completely overcooked. After I complained to the manager, they offered to replace my steak. For the price they charge, it is not worth it.

    The location of the hotel is very good.
