The Royal Garden Hotel is located next to the Li River. It would be very nice if you can wake up early to have a walk along the river promenade. But if you wish to find some shops or go to the business area, you have to walk about half an hour or take a taxi. The room itself is... more

Hotel was booked as part of tour package. Our tour group arrived quite late, almost midnight. Lobby was spacious. Check-in was quick and efficient. Clean room and stocked adequately with toiletries one might have forgotten. Stayed for two nights. Was able to change US Dollars for China RMB at the cashier desk without extra fee. Hotel's buffet breakfast in the... more

Stayed here for 2 days as part of a China tour. The room was small, like all other hotels we have stayed in China. The breakfast was not good but the view from the room was fantastic. I would stay here again. more

This is a decent hotel with an attractive lobby, restaurant, and large atrium used for its evening entertainment venue and also a breakfast buffet. Our room was nice, but not as well appointed as others on our tour. Our meals were... more

Reasonable hotel if you get a river view room. Hotel is located on the banks of the river, although most of the action is on the opposite bank around the Sheraton. Not a lot to do outside of the hotel. Same deal, restaurants and mini bar very expensive, $4 for a coke, 50 cents in the hotel store. Breakfast buffet... more
