We were nervous about our trip to China and after a long flight followed by a sleeper train to Guilin from Guangzhou we were suitably exhausted and in need of a pleasant welcome. We were therefore delighted when we approached this establishment mid-morning and were greeted outside by a member of staff. We were immediately checked in and allowed access... More

The Guilin Lakeside Inn is a small boutique hotel right on the main lake in Guilin. A walkway runs in front of the hotel so there is little noise. The property only has about nine rooms and the location is wonderful. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast was good. The hotel is about a ten minute walk to... More

I liked the deco in my room which made it homely and bright. The room was clean and I do not need to wear slippers around the room. However, the bathroom looked tired and in need of renovation. The location was good too, 2 bus stop to the main bus station and 3 bus stop to the train station. There... More

We stayed in this hostel on two occasions. The rooms were slightly different, but both had a comfortable, quaint atmosphere with floral wallpaper, wood panelling extending halfway up the walls and shiny floors. The staff were extremely helpful in answering all our questions, providing information and welcoming us to the hostel in English. For a fee, they will do your... More

We only stayed here for two nights, but we liked this place a lot. Very convenient to most Guilin attractions. The staff is wonderful - they helped us arrange the boat tour to Yangshuo, the evening lakes and rivers tour (although I would give that a pass next time). Plus, the feel is an upscale hostel. Very foreigner-friendly. Rooms are... More

We just stayed one night and thoroughly enjoy it. We loved the quaintness of the hotel. the girls up front were very helpful....they even gave us a 5:00 wake up call so we could get to our flight. The room was clean and quaint and spacious. My parents loved their room too. Loved walking along the waterfront watching people, listening... More

Clean, comfortable, good location. I stayed there in March so Guilin didn't seem too busy. I like to move around a little so I also stayed at the Eva Inn and Jing Guan Ming Lou Museum Hotel both of which were also good. I was traveling solo so it was nice to have friendly staff and a casual atmosphere. All... More

We spent a night here, however did not enjoy the stay too much. The set up was perfect, it was a homely inn, however as soon as we reached, a crowd of approx 25 people came in and started drinking in the bar below, the music was too loud and it was really disturbing us in the room. We were... More

This hostel is good, cheap and centrally located. It has pickup services from the airport and tour for a decent price. Rooms were basic but clean and comfortable and had free unlimited wifi. It has only 3 rooms and most would fit 3 people comfortably. The owners are young, friendly and very accommodating. As with most hotels in China, the... More

Considering prices of other hotels within the same neighborhood sandwiched by two most tourist attraction lakes, and near to vivid night scene, I think this hotel is a gift to traveler. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. I think it was renovated recently. Though one of the rooms(at least mine, with two king-size beds) may face the place where the... More
