Very modern hotel right next to the river. If you came by bus and it dropped you off at the main bus station, you come out from the its main gate and turn left towards North and keep on walking. It's quite a long walk (about 20 mins for us with big backpacks) from the bus station. Room was nice... more

The hotel was booked as part of a package tour, and was very comfortable. Located centrally near shopping and restaurants, we could easily walk everywhere we needed to go. more

Universal Hotel has a great location. It is few minutes walk to both zhengyang and zhongsan shopping street. It is a short ride to many tourist spots . The rooms are ok. The breakfast buffet is not so good, but acceptable, specially , considering the low priced room rate. more

The Universal is a big business-like hotel near the Li River. The rooms are plain and comfy, although showing their age a bit. It is well located for the town centre. English is spoken at reception. It's not a very memorable place, so I can't think of much else to say. more

Compared to other hotels within my budget, this place was not bad! I believe I had a newly decorated hotel because the furnishings looked new and they all matched. The lighting was kind of cool and could be adjusted on many levels. The bed was a queen and comfortable, the desk was nice, and the TV offered several english channels.... more

We stayed in two rooms with a Li River view for about 330 yuans a night with breakfast included. For the price this most be the best value available in Guilin. The view from the rooms was magnificent. The rooms are a bit worn but clean and have panorama windows. The location is excellent with transport available closeby. The hotel... more
