Chinese New Year celebrations. Wonderful location, staff and surroundings.
Reviewed By Alex KWe really appreciate the wonderful warm welcome and assistance my family received in these difficult times when I could not come back to China to spend Chinese New Year celebrations with my family. Special mention to Amanda, who has always been incredibly helpful to us. It is a great comfort for me to know that even though I can not be there in person, my family still had a beautiful, pleasant and warm Chinese New Year celebration. I wanted to wish all the staff at this amazing hotel a wonderful, safe and prosperous year of the Tiger. I hope to come back to China soon and enjoy the facilities of your beautiful hotel again. A huge thank you and see you soon.

Best travel experience ever
Reviewed By Alex_Lay_in_ChinaWir waren hellauf begeistert! Ende August 2019 (Tut uns leid, dass wir erst so spät Feedback geben. Aber besser spät als nie.) Sind wir in Guilin angekommen. Bei unserer vorherigen Reisestation hatte sich einer von uns den Fuß verletzt. Wir wurden sofort umsorgt und sie halfen uns alles Nötige zu besorgen. Darüber hinaus bei späteren Problemen zur Seite gestanden. Sie haben uns die Gegend gezeigt, mit kulturellen Besonderheiten bekannt gemacht, mehrmals sogar zum Essen eingeladen und den Aufenthalt trotz aller Schwierigkeiten, die wir hatten zum besten der ganzen Reise gemacht. Dabei haben sie uns auch mit traditionellen Gerichten ethnischer Minderheiten in Guilin bekannt gemacht. Auch bei Ausflügen und Mitbringseln haben sie uns hervorragend beraten und bei der Organisation geholfen. Solche tollen Gastgeber hatten wir noch nie! Wir würden das Hostel jedem empfehlen, der eine herzliche Atmosphäre genießen möchte und Interesse an tiefen Einblicken in chinesische Kultur (auch der der Minderheiten) hat. Vielen vielen Dank für alles! Ihr seid super! Now more or less the same thing in English ? At the end of August 2019 the two of us visited Guilin for a few days and I must say, we were absolutely in love with the city and the hostel! (Sorry that the review is so late, sadly, we never got to write it earlier) At our former destination one of us hurt their foot, but right away when we arrived our hosts tended to it and looked after us very sweetly. Even when further problems occurred, they were by our side. They showed us sites of Guilin we might not have experienced without them, showed us where and what the locals and ethnic minorities eat, moreover, invited us a few times for lunch and dinner. They gave us thoughtful and valuable advice with trips and souvenirs and helped us organising many things! Even though we’ve had a few difficulties, they made it the best travel experience of the whole trip! We’ve never had hosts like this before! We would like to recommend this hostel to everyone who wants to enjoy a lovely atmosphere and is interested to get a deeper look into Chinese culture(s). Thank you so much for everything! We will never forget our time in Guilin!

Good location in the center of town
Reviewed By Y2336UHmeganlWe stayed here for 3 nights with young kids. The hotel staff was very kind and attentive. We felt sorry for them as it's clear that Covid has decimated the tourism industry in Guilin. There were a handful of guests besides us in this centrally located hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. However they did not have the AC working during our stay. Something about the time of year/some guests being cold. They assured us it would be cool at night and we could open the tiny window. They did provide very loud portable fans. But it wasn't that cool - not having AC was a real issue and some in our party did not sleep well for days. The pool is huge and deep - be sure to bring a swim cap for hair (a Chinese thing everywhere you go). The happy hour was very nice and enjoyed by the kids (snacks and sodas) and the adults (wine). Breakfast buffet was varied and again, definitely a highlight for the kids. Would recommend but call and ask about the AC.

On entering the hotel, we have already got your expectations. Please come with us into 'Yue-Link of Golden Oriole'. It is beyond the traditional luxury model and created a private place where just to stay away from the multifarious things. Guilin Golden Oriole Hotel is the first Resort in paradise. It is located along the Li River, nearest of the Sha Lake, the wonderful vantage point of elephant trunk hill.
Great hotel in central Guilin !
Reviewed By Silvano1971We really enjoyed our short stay at this hotel. Location-wise the hotel is in a great spot right in front of Elephant Trunk hill, just a few minutes away from the Twin Pagodas/Lakes of Guilin, and very close to all main attractions. Very spacious, clean rooms and friendly staff. The hotel has a nice rooftop restaurant with amazing views (especially at night) of Elephant Trunk Hill. The food at the restaurant was also great. We fully recommend this hotel to whoever plans to visit Guilin.

Fantastic Experience
Reviewed By 960alisondWe stayed as part of three families at the HeShe Hotel and it lived up to all positive reviews. Michelle, supported by Sunny, provided incredible service in English - from before we arrived to the moment we departed. She helped us with transport and quality drivers to multiple spots of interest, tickets, advice and meals. The location is beautiful and five minutes walk to the Reed Flute Cave. There are lovely outdoor spaces to relax in dependent on weather. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. If we return to Guilin we would have no hesitation staying again. The service was outstanding - thanks Heshe team!

10. Riverside Inn Guilin Central

4.5 based on 38 reviews
Riverside Inn Guilin Central is located in a beautiful scenic area of Guilin city center. Even though this Inn is located in the lively city, it is hidden away in a quiet area. We are located next to the Taohua River and also close to Nanmen Bridge. We are a typical villa-style Inn. There is a quiet avenue nearby, convenient for taking a walk. The Inn has an excellent location. We are located 2.6 kilometers away from the train station (only a 15 minute walk). We are 500 meters away from the main bus station. We are conveniently situated nearby the main tourist sites in Guilin. We are only a 10 minute walk away from the famous "Elephant Trunk" Hill. Inside the Inn, you can enjoy our awesome bar. A perfect place for chatting with friends or striking up a conversation with someone. If you are in the mood, you can play a game of billiards. You can step outside of the bar's balcony to catch a sweet breeze from the river and watch the riverboats going by.
Very nice hotel with very helpful staff
Reviewed By 822henrikeThis hotel is a little bit hard to find, in the end of an alley by the riverside. Most taxis do not really know where it is, Very nice and clean. Staff speaks very good English and helped us a lot, giving advice and helped us with transportation and with our trip home (we tried to check in online - they had a computer in the reception). Actually we cancelled another hotel to come back here, since we felt at home. We were lucky to get a "mini-suite" on the ground floor with a large outdoor patio - very nice evenings with the boats going by.
