We had a great stay at the Sapphire. The bed was the biggest we've ever slept in. We also loved the little alcove. The girls at the front desk did not speak the best English, but we had all our questions answered. The gal doing the tours was great. Everything worked out perfectly. Since we were complete tourists, and only... More

This hotel is well situated, within walking distance to Elephant Trunk Park and the night market is right below. Turn to one corner of the hotel is a convenience store and bakery/cafe. The room was clean, quite spacious for the and price we paid. Very good deal. We signed up for the Li River cruise with the hotel and it... More

We stayed for one night on 17th March, 2013 after visiting Dazhai. Check-in was fast and without hassle (room booked through Agoda ). To our delight, the room was big and appeared as advertised. There wasn't any cigarettes smell as commended by others. Though we stayed on the 4th floor facing night market below, there was no noise disturbance at... More

If all you want is clean sheets and low price, then this is the place for you. There are no amenities most are accustomed to. They charge you for the bottled water in your room, the towels are thread bare, the carpet is heavily soiled and stained, no refrigerator, no safe, the shower leaks all over the bathroom floor. In...

Excellent hotel. The location is excellent, as well as the rooms. Extremely confortable, nice English speaking staff. I strongly recommend. The only thing I can say that was not perfect was the wifi, that was only in the lobby.

We've stayed at this hotel just a night, we've arrived late in the night, but we really liked it, the hotel is redecorated, the room is big enough, the bathroom was nice, but didn't find it nice to have condoms for buying in the room, although it might be useful... anyway it was the first time for us to find...

The deluxe twin room was well appointed, clean & very comfortable, with only Chinese TV, if that is important. Water was always hot when needed, A/C worked very well (in contrast to all other more celubrious places we stayed) & beds were also the most comfortable of all places we stayed to date. This downtown area of Guilin is dirty... More
