Lijiang Pushang Hotel

The hotel has a fantastic location, right facing the Twin Towers and Elephant Trunk Hill, and is very close to the pedestrian street. The only drawback is that even the suites are quite small, but they are fully equipped and very comfortable to stay in. Guests can also use the computers at the business center of the adjacent Guilin Grand Hotel. The breakfast is above average. The service attitude for the complimentary intangible cultural heritage experience was poor, but the travel photography service was quite good.

The rooms offer views of Elephant Trunk Hill or the Twin Towers, and the night view is even more stunning. The Stargazing Bar is perfect for photos. The coffee is aromatic, breakfast is abundant, and you can even experience intangible cultural heritage crafts. It's truly worth it.

Choosing the Guilin Lijiang Waterfall Hotel for our family trip with elderly members and kids during the National Day holiday was a fantastic decision! The location is unbeatable—just a 200-meter walk to Elephant Trunk Hill and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area, which saved us from long car rides and kept the seniors from getting tired. We loved the butler service, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with very new and complete facilities, plus complimentary welcome fruit and good-night desserts. At night, connecting to the room's sound system while enjoying the beautiful view from the window was a huge hit with the kids. Breakfast featured freshly boiled Guilin rice noodles with a rich variety of flavors that suited all ages. Highly recommended for family trips!

I booked the 180-degree view room, and the scenery outside the window was absolutely stunning. I could see the Sun and Moon Pagodas, Elephant Trunk Hill, and the continuous green mountains in the distance—a true ink-wash landscape painting.

The front desk for Upside Waterfall and the adjacent Waterfall Hotel are separate, though they are in the same building. Upside Waterfall occupies two floors. Let me start with the positives: the newly renovated rooms have excellent amenities and are quite spacious. The river view rooms offer a great view of Elephant Trunk Hill and the Twin Pagodas. The location is also very convenient, with Elephant Trunk Hill and Jingjiang Prince City about a 10-minute walk away. The 24-hour butler service is very responsive; they even sent us a video of the room type for confirmation before check-in and arranged all our requested room adjustments before we arrived. Throughout our stay, the staff were all very friendly and greeted us proactively. In addition to welcome fruits and a mini-bar, we also received small nuts as part of the turndown service. Now, for areas that could be improved: during our stay, we mostly ordered afternoon tea and in-room dining from the hotel. The in-room dining menu had very limited options, though fortunately, the rooftop restaurant allowed us to order there and have it delivered to our room. However, on the second day of our stay, during the National Day holiday with high foot traffic and rain, Upside Waterfall's own afternoon tea lounge had very limited indoor seating and was also open to the public. With only two staff members and one cleaner, it was severely understaffed. After inquiring, we learned that afternoon tea could not be delivered to the room, so we sat for a long time without being able to place an order or enjoy afternoon tea. Eventually, we had to call the adjacent Waterfall Hotel's afternoon tea lounge and restaurant ourselves to ask if they could deliver in-room dining. Only after their staff confirmed it was possible did we get our afternoon tea and dinner. During peak periods like National Day, especially since Upside Waterfall's restaurants are not large and are open to the public, I suggest proactively expanding their in-room dining service options to give guests more choices.

The location is excellent, right in front of Elephant Hill. Waking up in the morning and slowly drawing back the curtains to reveal a perfectly composed view of Elephant Hill right before your eyes is simply delightful. The hotel's breakfast is also very good, with a decent variety. There's a station for freshly cooked rice noodles and youtiao (fried dough sticks), and in the fruit and vegetable area, there's even a juicer where you can make your own fruit and vegetable juices. The service is warm, thoughtful, and responsive, always just right.

Nestled in the heart of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area, our room offered stunning views of the Sun and Moon Pagodas and Elephant Trunk Hill right from the bed. The facilities were brand new, and the breakfast spread was extensive. The rooftop garden provided panoramic views of the city and its surrounding mountains. Our butlers, Ms. Xu, Ms. Huang, and Mr. Peng, were incredibly warm, responsive, and always ready to help. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

As our last stop in Guilin, choosing this hotel was a surprisingly satisfying experience. The lady at the front desk saw that all three of us were adults and proactively upgraded us to a family room, which was very spacious and even included complimentary breakfast. We were already thrilled by then. When we checked out, it was raining a bit, and we were taking a taxi to the airport. The front desk lady even walked us out with an umbrella. The service was absolutely excellent, truly commendable! 👍
