Booked this hotel online with a credit card only to find when I arrived that the hotel refused to recognize my booking because they hadn't yet received payment for the booking from Expedia. Despite the fact that they knew I was coming they refused to give me a room unless I paid again. It was 11pm at night and I... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on a wendy wu tour and found if very comfortable. The beds were clean and the usual hard mattress supplied in Chinese hotels. It had a good location fright on the Peach Blossom River and was easy walking distance to the shops and night markets. We would recommend this... more

My wife and I stayed at the Guilin Osmanthus Hotel for 3 nights at the end of May 2008. Our room was nice, with a.c., minibar, and king bed ( with the usual hard Chinese mattress.) We had a great view of the Peach Blossom River. The only complaint was that the carpet was very dirty and in need of... more

Stayed at this hotel as part of a Wendy Wu tour. The hotel has a great location by the river, but the rooms could do with a refurbishment. However, the rooms, bedlinen and bathroom were all very clean, just a bit jaded. Breakfast was a bit basic, but ok. From the hotel main entrance turn right, cross the road, go... more

My girlfriend and I stayed here during September 2005 and had a great experience (she is a Chinese speaker, which did bring some perks). We arrived late on a flight from Lhasa, tired and feeling a little dumpy. A seedy looking teenager in a tired mini-van picked us up from the airport - I had some aprehensions at this point.... more

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel in August. It was acceptable as far as a budget, tourist class hotel goes. The location was great - in walking distance to restaurants, night markets and the Guilin pedestrian street. The rooms do smell damp - like mould - and we found mould on the tiles in the washroom, but not a... more

I have travelled a fair bit in China and stayed here in September of 2006. The rooms were clean but this was the only good thing about the place. Unable to get an internet connection in our room when we arrived, we moved to another room. It was then that I noticed a little door adjacent to our room that... more

Firstly, I got great hotel prices though Sinohotels. I paid less than half the Orbitz price. We loved Guilin. It was hotter than hell in July but it was still excellent. I highly recomend a Li River trip. The hotel was clean. The linen was fresh as were the towels, the hotel carpet wasn't the newest but that was a... more

We stayed at this hotel with a tour group for 2 nights in October 2005. The front facing rooms have a great view of the river, but the back rooms only have a view of old buildings, and the cooks scurrying about in filthy gear. Our room was in need of refurbishment, dirty carpet, but was well equipped. It had... more
