Steigenberger Guilin

Lucky me, I got a complimentary upgrade from a deluxe king room to a scenic suite! The new Chinese-style decor is elegant and spacious. The balcony offers an absolutely stunning direct view of the mountains and lake. The living room, dining area, and bathroom are all perfectly partitioned, and the facilities are exquisite and complete. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay, making for a perfect vacation experience!

The lake view room is absolutely stunning! The hotel itself is quite large, perfect for cycling around the lake. The air after a rain shower was incredibly refreshing. The Guilin rice noodles for breakfast were super authentic; they gave generous portions of really big chunks of fried pork belly. As a local from Guilin, I'd say these rice noodles easily beat 90% of the other noodle shops around. The sandwiches at the Western restaurant were substantial and delicious, and only 58 yuan! Plus, they came with a generous side of fries.

The room was quite spacious and the facilities were well-maintained. However, I was really taken aback by the room layout. We had to be upgraded because our original room wasn't ready when we arrived around 2 PM, but the upgraded room was at least a 10-minute walk from the lobby. The service was good, and they did inform us about the distance beforehand. The hotel environment was also great, with a fireworks show in the evening. We got complimentary park tickets, but the park itself isn't worth a special trip; it's more of a casual add-on if you're staying at the hotel, as many attractions were closed.

An experience that exceeded our expectations, truly a worthwhile family trip! The hotel is surrounded by mountains and water, and its Yao village-style architecture is very unique. Our lake view room offered stunning karst landscapes right outside the window, and the balcony had excellent views, perfect for photos. There's a free shuttle bus service to Sunac Ocean World and Happy Tribe. Inside the hotel, you can cycle around the lake, camp on the lawn, or go kayaking. In the evenings, there are occasional bonfire parties or fireworks displays, which are a big hit with families with kids.

The hotel boasts stunning views, nestled by mountains and water. The common areas are expansive, featuring a massive internal lake where you can spend half a day strolling along the banks, taking photos, or even rowing a boat. We did encounter a minor issue during our stay, but the hotel staff promptly and efficiently resolved it.

The hotel boasts beautiful surroundings with lush green hills, clear waters, and shady trees. The raft ride was enjoyable, and the bike rides within the park are great for families. The indoor pool and fitness facilities are also excellent. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway.

The hotel's environment is fantastic, with mountains and water, perfect for kids. The complimentary Sunac Land tickets were also a nice bonus. The staff were all incredibly friendly, but their service efficiency could use some improvement. The water pressure in the hotel was low, and the hot water wasn't hot enough.

The hotel environment is indeed lovely, with beautiful pastoral scenery. The rooms are also spacious enough. However, there are a few issues: 1. **Poor Service Awareness:** The front desk initially assigned a very remote room to the elderly and children without any guidance (though they did change rooms later). 2. **Missing Inclusions:** The fruit platter, which was supposed to be included in the room package, was not provided. 3. **Closed Facilities During Peak Season:** Surprisingly, facilities like the swimming pool were closed and inaccessible to guests during peak season. 4. **Misleading 'Late-Night Snack':** The so-called 'late-night snack' in the package turned out to be just one bowl of one type of food per person, with no flexibility for an extra serving. Please be aware of this when booking. I won't even bother mentioning other minor details like room cleanliness and facilities. I hope to see improvements in the future.

Although the hotel is a bit remote, the views are absolutely stunning. There are even swans in the lake within the resort grounds. The rooms are quite spacious, making for a very comfortable stay, perfect for a vacation.
