This hotel is not in the center of Guilin. It is, however, in the center of the Botanical Gardens, a truly lovely public park that is well maintained and well-used by locals. There is a wonderful, busy night market with food stalls at the Too mall, right outside the gates, where I had some of the best meals I ate... More

Hotel full of charm, inside a big park with tenth century style buildings (Tang Dynasty style). Our room was on the 3rd floor over looking the pont. Very nice. We stayed 4 days in this hotel so we had time to appreciate the pros and cons. First, it is not so quiet : the railtracks are a few hundred meters... More

Since its located in the botanical gardens, I expect it to be calm and quiet. But the railway tracks are just beside it and you can hear the trains going past hissing and honking all night. There is a big building construction coming up and looming over it, so you lose the sense of tranquil in a park. Breakfast is... More

We enjoyed staying at the GRP. The staff spoke very little English but we had no problem. Our room was very clean and modernly appointed. The property is an oasis compared to the Sheraton and Bravo in town. We enjoyed waking up and walking wit the locals through the beautiful botanical garden. The hotel has very pretty grounds with a... More

In terms of value for money this place can't be beaten, though it is rather a walk once you get in the park gardens, unless the taxi driver agrees to 'take you all the way' which only one did. The bed is huge and the heating very welcome after a long trip down the Li River all day. But the... More

This was the loveliest hotel we stayed at. I'm a little mixed on the review due to a couple issues which I'll get to momentarily. The grounds are quite nice, winding paths and ponds with fish. The rooms are well appointed, the furniture looked very elegant, and there's even a fancy toilet with all kinds of buttons. Wireless works great,... More

We stayed one night before the Li River cruise to Yangshuo. The hotel was in a lovely setting with koi ponds and gardens. The rooms were spacious and pristine, the beds very comfortable. The breakfast was very good, both Chinese and Western options. The hotel had lots of character, even though it was new. It is a bit far from... More

It's truly lovely place. Is located in the local bionic garden. Just the setting itself worth the trip. There are only 53 rooms of this hotel which is very small by Chinese standard. The ground of the hotel is like very nice garden. A grand garden. We had a ground floor room, it has a little patio on the back... More

The Hotel was in the middle of the park in Guilin. We stayed just one night in the hotel where we were picked up to take the Li River cruise the next morning in our way to Yangshuo. The location is fantastic for this purpose and also because the hotel is sorrounded by gardens, so it feels pleasant to walk... More
