Location: not great. On the outskirts of everything with little in the surrounding area but a lovely park about 15 mins walk away. Room: Fair. Dated but quite spacious and comfortable. Usual facilities, TV, mini bar, phone, plenty of storage and a clean bathroom. Hotel: Lots of options but all a bit drab and in need of modernisation. Restaurants, coffee... more

Stayed at the Guilin Plaza because nothing else available. This hotel has seen better days and needs a makeover. The foyer and rooms are tatty and faded. Our room temperature seemed to be about 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature control was jammed on high and the windows were sealed shut. The hotel had an overpriced bar on the ground floor... more

We booked our trip to Guilin through a travel agent in Shangahi only the day before we left. The hotel we wanted was not available on such short notice, so we stayed at this hotel and knew by the very reasonable price of the trip that it wouldn't be luxurious. We did not find it to be especially clean, and... more

Nice hotel in Guilin, though not in the central city or on the river. Booked into the hotel though a China Focus tour. Very nce room, usual amenities, drab bathroom, limited tv. Ok breakfast included with tour. Close to a large shopping mall--fascinating modern local grocery store. Within walking distance (15 minutes) of Seven Star Park which is beautiful. Did... more

Please, don't use this hotel or lower your expectations a lot. The rooms were moldy, our a/c didn't work and the food was terrible. Fortunately we were only there for one night! more

We stayed at Guilin Plaza Hotel with a tour group in October. The hotel is about average, no serious complaint about it because we knew what price we paid for this trip. What we don't like was its location - it's far away from the major scenic sites and city center; No views at all, the surrounding area is less... more

I spent a night here becuase the Sheraton was full. I can say that this hotel failed in every detail. The funny thing is that when I drove up I was thinking that perhaps this was going to be a pleasant experience. I walked in with a conscious will to accept that Chinese run hotels can be OK. From a... more

We stayed in this hotel at the end of our Kuoni China tour. It provides clean and comfortable accommodation. Shops and stores are within easy walking distance. Service was good. Breakfast was well-provisioned with a wide range of foods for all tastes. Views are not good, being the surrounding apartments and waste ground. more
