The taro-flavored duck cubes are also great—tasty but not greasy. The rice noodles with spare ribs are fresh, and I find them even better than the rice noodles with fried shredded pork. The loofah dish uses Guangdong loofah, which is a bit tough. It could be more delicious if the loofah were stuffed!" – [Review by a visitor]

Lijiang Waterfall Hotel

9.1/10Good2814 Reviews
Downtown/Elephant Trunk Hill/Two Rivers And Four Lakes Guilin|0.25km from city center
This is an old-school five-star hotel with a prime location. It's directly opposite Elephant Trunk Hill Park and the Sun and Moon Pagodas, and two docks are within walking distance. The hotel boasts a very large atrium with a glass ceiling and a scenic elevator, which is quite unique. Breakfast is also good, offering fresh meat noodle soup or Guilin rice noodles. The tatami room seems to have been recently renovated and even has a small bathtub. The service is excellent, with all staff members greeting you warmly. The price isn't too expensive either. If the facilities weren't a bit dated, I would definitely give it five stars.

Visited Elephant Trunk Hill, Twin Towers, and Daofeng Bookstore in Guilin. All within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. For Elephant Trunk Hill, make sure to go between 7:00 and 7:30 AM – it's cooler and less crowded. If you go at 10:00 AM, the crowds and heat are unbearable. From the hotel, walk along Binjiang Road for 5 minutes to Gate 3, enjoying the morning views of the Li River along the way. Enter Gate 3, keep right, and you'll see Elephant Trunk Hill. After that, exit through Gate 2, cross the street towards the hotel for 1-2 minutes, and you can visit the Twin Towers for photos. Once back at the hotel, walk another 100 meters to Yiren Road Pedestrian Street, which has lots of great food. We tried Agan and it was delicious. After dinner, walk back towards Binjiang Road for another 100 meters to Daofeng Bookstore. Their selection of books and cultural creative products is excellent, not just generic stuff. The hotel also upgraded us to a family suite for free, and even gave us an extra breakfast for our four-person group (it included two, my younger sister ate for free, and my older brother thought he'd have to buy one, but they gave us another one, which was very kind of them). The breakfast was delicious, with great rice noodles, oil tea, Western options, and fruit. Manager Jiang at the front desk was very professional and friendly. This hotel and its staff are truly impeccable.

The hotel's location is excellent, right at the exit of Xiangshan Park, making it super convenient to walk to Dongxi Alley and the Twin Pagodas! There are also plenty of local specialty shops and restaurants nearby, so it's very easy to find food, accommodation, and transportation. The breakfast is a buffet with a good variety of options, and the Guilin rice noodles are especially delicious. The restaurant is on the 7th floor and offers views of Xiangshan. The hotel also has an underground parking garage and EV charging stations, which I really appreciate!

Choosing the right hotel is so crucial when traveling! This one was genuinely comfortable. The decor has a unique and stylish design, with a lovely natural wood aesthetic that's very pleasing to the eye. The room is spacious enough, the bed is super soft, and it's incredibly relaxing to come back here after a tiring day of exploring. The location is absolutely perfect, very close to attractions, making it easy to go out for food and sightseeing. The view from the window is also beautiful, and the service details are excellent, with many thoughtful amenities provided. The ethnic cultural and creative products in the lobby also have a strong local flavor. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend this place for your trip.

Our family of three had a fantastic stay here! The hotel grounds are huge, and our child absolutely loved the peacocks roaming around – we'd often spot them, which made the trip really fun. The room was spacious, and the service was thoughtful and attentive. The front desk even provided children's amenities. The facilities are comprehensive, with a kids' play area, a swimming pool, and even a sightseeing train. The back gate leads directly to the Li River. Breakfast offered a wide variety, and the Guilin rice noodles were delicious. Some facilities are a bit dated, but it didn't detract from our vacation. We didn't even need to leave the hotel to keep our child entertained. Our child still talks about the peacocks, so I highly recommend this for families with kids.

We chose this hotel for our summer trip, and it's super convenient for exploring the pedestrian street and Elephant Trunk Hill. The room was clean and the overall service was good. My only concern is that two fire escape doors on our floor were locked, and the windows had safety restrictors, only allowing them to open a tiny crack. That felt very unsafe. Other than that, everything else was great.

Returned for another stay at this hotel because of its beautiful environment and excellent hygiene. The service was fantastic all around. A special shout-out to the ladies working shifts on the 12th, 27th, and 21st (both day and night) for their exceptional service. I wasn't feeling well due to a cold, and one of the staff members thoughtfully applied medicated oil, massaged pressure points on my head, and even helped upgrade my room. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time! Hotel Response: [The 'Sky Mirror' on the seventh floor is a beautiful spot for photos]

This resort hotel has a Chinese-style exterior and European-style interior. The rooms are genuinely spacious, and the bathroom is also huge, even featuring a bathtub, which my child absolutely loved. Personally, I think the value for money during a holiday like May Day is incredibly high! On the first night, my child's mother complained that the shower water pressure was a bit low. The next day, the front desk promptly moved us to a different room, right across from our original one. This was so thoughtful, the room change was effortless, and the service was excellent!

It's right next to attractions, and parking is convenient; there's always someone at the main entrance to assist you. The breakfast is abundant and delicious. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Guilin. The swimming pool is fantastic, with clean water and not too many people, so the kids didn't want to get out!

I brought my family to Guilin this time and chose the Dragon's Den Puyu Hotel's [Elephant Trunk Hill View Two-Bedroom Triple Room]. The hotel is directly opposite Gate 1 of Elephant Trunk Hill Park. It's just a three-minute walk across the street to the scenic area entrance. Our room's window faced Elephant Trunk Hill directly; pulling back the curtains revealed Guilin's iconic landscape painting. The room had everything – a fridge, mini-bar, and a bathroom with a separate wet and dry area, which made for a really comfortable stay!

Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by amazing front desk attendant, Melody. She assisted us through out our stay and made sure we’re comfortable and well taken care of and our tour guide, Eric, who communicated fluently in English, significantly easing our experience as non-Chinese speakers. The owner was equally gracious, sharing their barbecue with us, creating a sense of homeliness.

This hotel offers exceptional service for its price point. Upon arrival, someone immediately assisted us with our luggage, and the lovely front desk staff escorted us to our room. The service was effortlessly attentive whenever we needed anything. I also have to commend the breakfast – the live kitchen cooked fresh dishes on the spot, with no shortcuts taken, and refills were prompt. We visited on a weekday, and they didn't compromise on food quality just because there were fewer guests. The rice noodles were delicious! Every breakfast item showcased local specialties while maintaining great flavor. They even had freshly grilled steaks, and the chefs were all smiles, which really brightened our day. It was very hot in Guilin in July, and my child spent an hour in the 5th-floor pool. They thoughtfully activated the wave machine for us! Even though the pool is small, it was perfectly adequate for kids to have fun, and they provided inner tubes and kickboards. The room itself was even better – we had a direct view of the Twin Pagodas. It rained that evening in Guilin, and the Twin Pagodas in the rain were absolutely stunning. I must praise the sofa on the balcony; it was incredibly comfortable! You could practically sleep on it – not those stiff, uncomfortable types of sofas, which shows real attention to detail. The room offered views of the Twin Pagodas, the lake, and the surrounding mountains in the distance; the scenery was breathtaking! This will definitely be our first choice next time we visit Guilin!

Upon arrival, I found that a section of the hotel was under renovation. There were a lot of construction materials near the elevator entrance and plenty of dust from the renovation on the floor. My family even joked that after all my careful searching, I ended up picking a hotel undergoing renovations! There was a slight formaldehyde smell inside the elevator on my floor, but it became very faint once we entered the room, almost unnoticeable unless you specifically tried to smell it. The room had no windows and felt a bit stuffy, which I knew before booking. There was a faint musty smell in the room, and I'm not sure if it was related to the lack of ventilation. However, the room itself was relatively clean. Overall, I really didn't expect the renovation... I was a bit taken aback during check-in 😮. I hope things improve once the renovations are complete.

Guilin South Railway Station/Too Square/Qintan Bus Station Guilin|2.61km from city center
Ha, the advantage of Lefeng is the fine decoration and 20+ square meters. It seems not as stable and practical as other cheaper brands. 1. There is a pull rod outside the bathroom door but not inside. In fact, it can be pushed open in both directions. 2. The faucet design is difficult to understand and control, and the wash basin is very small and splashes water. 3. The toilet paper holder is crooked and the paper fell to the ground. 4. There is no shelf in the shower. The toiletries are placed on the old crooked big bottle, which also fell to the ground. 5. The shower adjus**ent knob seems convenient but is actually difficult to understand. It is inevitable to be showered with a lot of cold water first. The top shower leaks and has a rotten hole. 6. The disposable slippers are small and dirty, and should be cancelled. Repair the bathroom quickly!

The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, so I slept very soundly after a day of sightseeing.

This hotel stay was a great experience and added a lot of comfort to my trip. The location is excellent, not far from the main commercial areas and attractions. Getting around by taxi was easy with minimal traffic delays, and there are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making dining and getting around very convenient. Check-in was quick, and the front desk staff were very friendly and proactive, explaining the hotel's public facilities and breakfast times. They were happy to answer all my questions and responded promptly. The room itself was clean and tidy, with good natural light and ventilation. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, with no strange odors or water stains. The soundproofing was better than expected, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep without any disturbance from outside. The breakfast offered a rich variety, from hot dishes to pastries and freshly squeezed juices. The ingredients were fresh, and the taste was just right. Overall, it's excellent value for money. If I visit this area again, I'll very likely choose this hotel, and I'd definitely recommend it to friends who are planning to visit.
