Were in our early 60’s. Our prerequisites and not necessary in this order are; Location; (√) clean; (√) quiet; (√) Wi-Fi; (√) being able to communicate with staff. (√). Our upmarket room had a view of 10 metres of river if you stood on the balcony, but it was quiet. At night you can watch the ballroom dancers practising on... More

We stayed at this hotel (although listed as an Inn) during April, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Right on the side of the Li River, and far enough away from the touristy bit, to not get disturbed during the night! We had a slight problem with the air conditioner unit, that almost flooded us out come morning. A word with... More

This is a great choice of hotel on the river where it is a bit quieter but close enough to all the action to enjoy a bit of the action (after being in very remote areas where no English was spoken). River view rooms are large and airy with a balcony to watch the world go by. Towels are a... More

This hotel was so welcoming and the staff had an extremely good grasp of English and went out of their way to help with anything we needed, places to go or just leave us to relax on our own. Right on the river with a short stroll to the rest of the town, markets and sights. Waking up in the... More

This is probably one of the nicer B&B in Yangshuo. There are rooms with fantastic river view which we took. The rooms are also pretty big, mattress a touch hard but we still find it acceptable. Its Chinese deco is far better than most of the bigger hotels around which can border on tacky at the best of times. Shower... More

The hotel is basic but comfortable and clean. We realized that there were two buildings, I think the second and more recent one is the one with the restaurant, the rooms are probably nicer there (pictures shown on the hotel website). But ours (a family room with balcony, river view) was ok and big enough for the three of us... More

The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful, they also spoke good English when necessary. Room was nice although strong smell of smoke present throughout the stay. Recommend a room with a 'view' although the trees can block out most of the river. Also, hire bikes and explore the moon hill, hot spring in caves, go... More

We really enjoyed this small cozy well-run hotel on the river. Nothing fancy but very clean, staff extremely pleasant & helpful. Much better English spoken than in the 4 & 5 star hotels in large cities. Hotel staff happy to give sight-seeing advice or arrange tours. They rent bicycles for 10-30 yuan/day. Restaurant is quite decent & reasonably priced, Chinese... More

I stayed in a room on 1st floor. The room had a window facing a courtyard garden which I was happy about because river view rooms get more noise from the street. I think river view rooms are overpriced because the view is nothing special really. From other side I got my room for only 80 RMB, which was the... More

We stayed in room 308 for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The room was large and sunny, the view spectacular and the pretty balcony a lovely bonus. The bathroom even had an enclosed shower! The first we have had since coming to China. The room also had a kettle. The TV had only Chinese stations. The wifi was pretty... More
