Spa Hotels in Guilin

I have traveled to more than 30 countries over the past 12 years, and this is the first time I have truly felt that I could call a hotel ”home”—even though so many hotels try to create that feeling. We live in France and flew to China for vacation, hoping to experience both the peaceful natural wonders and the lively local culture of Yangshuo. This hotel’s location is perfect! It sits directly in front of the Li River with an unobstructed view, yet it is just a short walk to West Street and the harbor. We could easily switch between a peaceful, relaxing session overlooking the river and an energetic exploration of the local crowds. Taking a warm bath while gazing at the river and mist-shrouded mountains—all while enjoying local tea and sweets—was an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is brand new, featuring excellent and spotless facilities, including a 24-hour free self-service laundry and a rooftop with stunning open views. The design beautifully blends modern style with local Chinese Zhuang culture. On top of that, the hotel offers free access to local ”Ta-Ying” activities, photo shoots in traditional minority costumes, and discounted tickets for popular local shows like Impression Liu Sanjie. Most importantly, the hospitality was extraordinary. The team treated us with immense care and kindness from the moment we arrived until well after we got back home to France! They used professional translation devices to ensure seamless communication. The hotel manager, Ms. Ni, along with front desk staff Ms. Deng and Ms. Li, not only responded attentively to every request throughout our stay, but also provided invaluable advice for exploring Yangshuo. We were even given a thoughtful gift set when checking out at 6:00 AM, followed by a warm message once we returned home. This level of hospitality truly deserves to be recognized and appreciated. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and hard work, and I wish the entire team and the hotel all the best!

This hotel is a hidden gem! The floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking mountain views – waking up to the mist-shrouded mountains and rivers was simply incredible. The infinity pool is perfect for photos. The service was attentive and thoughtful. The Guilin rice noodles at breakfast were authentic and delicious. It's super convenient that the hotel offers electric scooter rentals, making it easy to explore the Yulong River. The rooms are clean and quiet, and it truly provides the ultimate relaxed vacation vibe. This is definitely my top choice when visiting Yangshuo!

The value for money here is incredible!!! The cleanliness is also excellent! Absolutely spotless! I honestly didn't expect a hotel in a tourist area to be this clean! We usually pay close attention to things like the sinks and showerheads, and even my dad, who's a clean freak, said it was very clean! Secondly, they upgraded us to a super-sized family room, haha! The theme perfectly matched our luggage! 💯 Plus, it had a bathtub, which my son absolutely loved! We slept very comfortably at night; overall, it was excellent! I found the breakfast to be very generous and incredibly varied, with so many options. I went all out on the broccoli, haha, it was really delicious! The pool was right next door, and the kids had a blast! The key thing is, I also thought the pool was very clean! Not dirty at all! The hotel really put in the effort! The location is also great. It's convenient to get anywhere by electric scooter, and there are plenty of dining options. Since we drove, the parking and charging facilities were perfect. All in all, this hotel was the perfect first stop in Guilin!

The hotel's location is excellent, right by the river and very close to West Street. It offers a perfect blend of being quiet yet close to the bustling area. The environment is lovely, and the hotel service is outstanding. The facilities are complete, and the view from the terrace is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it! They also provide thoughtful welcome gifts, and the car rental service at the entrance is very convenient.

Great stay in Yangshuo! We encountered a minor issue during our visit, but the staff handled it quickly and efficiently, which was a huge relief. Our family room was spacious and perfectly laid out for a family. The views from the window were absolutely stunning. We also enjoyed the ethnic costume photo experience, which added a wonderful atmosphere to our trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

Yangshuo Sugarhouse has always been a hotel I've wanted to visit, and a serendipitous opportunity finally brought me here, marking my first trip to Yangshuo. True to its pictures, it's exactly as you've seen it. Admittedly, it's no longer a new hotel, and I had some reservations beforehand, as similar-priced hotels in the same category might offer larger, more luxurious options. However, for design enthusiasts, Sugarhouse is special; it's a destination in itself. My first impression was that the hotel is reasonably well-maintained, and the service is always pleasant and attentive. I always assumed these were standard expectations in such hotels, not worth mentioning. Yet, it wasn't until I truly experienced the various facets of Yangshuo that I realized Sugarhouse is an oasis in this bustling, chaotic, and often less-than-pleasant destination. Yangshuo is beautiful, but its natural charm isn't always enough to offset some disappointing tourist experiences. You might exert a lot of effort trying to soak in the legendary landscapes, only to be left unsatisfied, perhaps due to early mornings or overwhelming crowds. But at Sugarhouse, you can intimately connect with Yangshuo's mountains and rivers, as they are right outside your room, beyond the iconic pool view. During the day, you can fully immerse yourself in nature undisturbed, and as dusk falls, the lights of Impression Liu Sanjie illuminate them, making you a part of the landscape. Finding such tranquility in this destination is incredibly precious, a realization I only had after switching to other hotels. The service here carries a hint of genuine, endearing awkwardness, and you can sense that achieving this level of service isn't easy. The bartender at 1969 Bar recommended a special concoction when I was indecisive, allowing me to savor the last season's season of loquat gin, which was unforgettable. Lucy at the front desk was incredibly helpful in resolving my issues, and when I pointed out some minor flaws in the room, they were already being addressed – truly tiny details that not everyone would notice, demonstrating their genuine care for guests. I met a gentleman at breakfast who enthusiastically and meticulously introduced me to oil tea and proactively helped me carry it to my upstairs seat when my hands were full. On my departure day, I even saw him standing at the lobby entrance at 36 degrees Celsius, assisting guests. Later, I learned he was the hotel's general manager. The people here are sincere and responsible, and what initially felt like minor imperfections transformed into a stark difference after comparison. I can give the experience here full marks. Some friends might find it too boring, with too many cars on the highway outside the rooms. But if you've experienced the endless swarm of electric scooters, the ubiquitous paid parking lots, and the so-called villas that cost 3,000 yuan with no view whatsoever, you'll realize that not only is the pricing here quite fair, but it's also almost the only viable accommodation option in Yangshuo. Of course, this is just for reference if you don't plan on venturing out, but Sugarhouse still offers many interesting services that make it a highly recommendable choice.

This hotel was absolutely wonderful. Before booking, I weighed many factors and compared numerous brand-name hotels and well-known guesthouses. Staying in the Ten-Mile Gallery would make shopping inconvenient, while being right in West Street would be too noisy and congested. With a child, I also wanted to avoid a small room. I chose Earth Village Qing Shan Yun She. Although the lobby isn't huge, I was very satisfied with everything else. It's just across the road from West Street, right next to Yangshuo Park, which effectively shielded us from the noise. Opening the window, we were greeted with a lush green view. The large parking lot right outside was super convenient for us as we were driving. The room had a bed plus a tatami area, a projector screen, and two sinks, which my child absolutely loved – no more fighting over who gets to brush their teeth first! They offer self-service laundry and a glass sunroom for drying clothes, and even provide laundry detergent in the room. On the first floor, there's a small children's play area, a game room, a karaoke room, and unlimited snacks, tea, and fruit – so many thoughtful details. Breakfast is a fixed set meal per person (rice noodles + eggs + sandwich + coarse grains + fruit), with congee, soy milk, and coffee available for self-service. While not extensive, the combinations were well-thought-out, and considering the very reasonable price, it was perfect for our family who needed extra breakfast options. With prices soaring everywhere during the summer, finding this place offered excellent value for money.

Yangshuo Shixi Tianyue Hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance to West Street and the Li River pier. It's a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and clean, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering scenic mountain and river views, and the bedding is very comfortable. The rooftop Sky Mirror is perfect for photos. The hotel also features a swimming pool, a kids' playground, and a rich breakfast selection. The service is attentive and thoughtful, and parking is convenient for those driving. It's easy to get around and explore, offering great value for money.

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.

Arandor Hotel offers excellent value for money overall. The two buildings are cleverly laid out, and it's just a 50-meter walk to the lively main street. Right outside, you'll find a variety of delicious food options like Master Fu Beer Fish, authentic Guilin rice noodles, and Guming bubble tea. The hotel features an outdoor pool, and their e-scooter rentals are very reasonably priced, making it super convenient to explore the surrounding attractions. The biggest surprise was the hotel's exclusive observation deck on the 8th floor. The views are absolutely stunning, offering a panoramic sight of the karst peaks and picturesque landscapes. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves photography; the atmosphere is truly enchanting. The staff are very responsive and resolve any issues promptly and efficiently. Afternoon tea includes local specialty snacks, and the lobby offers free, refreshing Luo Han Guo (monk fruit) water all day. The only minor drawback is that with the recent heavy rains in Yangshuo, the room felt a bit damp. It would be even more perfect if the rooms were equipped with refrigerators. Overall, the stay was very comfortable and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Yangshuo!
