2-Star Hotels in Guilin

I highly recommend Chuxin Homestay; it was the most satisfying accommodation choice during my trip to Yangshuo! The location is truly unbeatable, very close to the Yulong River trail. In the morning, you can take an immersive stroll and enjoy the scenic mountains and rivers. It's also super convenient to get to Jima Pier for a bamboo raft ride. The 'Eternal Love' scenic area is just a few minutes' bike ride away, so you can easily return after the show without rushing, saving a lot of travel time. The room hygiene was exceptional. The bedding was soft and clean, the bathroom had no odors, and every corner was meticulously cleaned, making our stay very reassuring. The service from the owner was even more heartwarming; they patiently answered questions about travel routes and food recommendations before and after check-in. They were very responsive to our needs, making us feel completely at home. The room had great natural light, comfortable space, and was quiet, not noisy at all. The value for money is outstanding. This is my top choice for a trip to Yangshuo, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!

This is a wonderful family run guesthouse, where you can enjoy peace away from the hustle of Xingping Old Town. Differently from other types of accommodation we have seen in Dahe Bei village, this guesthouse is a hidden gem with charme and character. The food was excellent and abundant, freshly cooked by the owner herself. The owner picked us up from the Dahe Bei ferry dock, organised an electric moped rental in Dahe Bei (we didn't see many on that side of the river) and gave us plenty of tips and suggestions for where to go and what to do around there, including a sunrise hike to a nearby mountain that you can reach directly from the guesthouse - if you're into hiking (it's a 1h walk uphill through pomelo and orange orchards, followed by a series of staircases), it's a great spot, as we found only a few photographers when we got up there. The ginger cat and the house dog are cute and extremely friendly, adding to the overall wonderful atmosphere. Our room was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water for showers after a day of hiking or driving around to see the surroundings. If we were to travel again in this area, we would definitely go back. Highly recommended!

A very nice little hotel very close to the river and the city center. The hotel manager didn't talk english but we talked via WeChat and everything went smoothly, he recomended us some trips to do in the Yangshuo area and restaurants to eat. Very recomendable. The rooms were big, clean, confortable and have AC. Totally recommended. And has a mirror floor on the attic for everybody to take pictures! I almost forgot, there is a washing machine!

This guest house left me with mixed feelings. Let's start with the good things. The location is super convenient: right in the old town and yet in a relatively quiet area. It's close to the river so you can take a refreshing night stroll, and close to a delicious bakery/café you'll never forget. The atmosphere of the guest house is rustic and cozy, with a laundry room that, despite its very limited space, serves the purpose. There are also cats and a dog you can freely play with. The bed was comfortable for us (a bit on the harder side). The owners speak English so you can easily communicate with them. They are very kind and helpful. However, a few things about this stay got me extremely disappointed, particularly taking into consideration the positive reviews I had read (which honestly I don't understand where they came from). The room was far from clean. There was a very visible layer of dust. The cushion seats had huge stains and looked dirty overall. The shower room did not get cleaned very regularly, as you can see from the picture. In general everything in the property looked outdated and cheap (wobbly sink taps, doors with huge gaps, that give way to all sorts of bugs and giant spiders..). The fact that the toilet is next to the shower room leaves no room for privacy and makes the toilet floor wet most of the time (this could be solved with a proper shower door instead of a curtain). In conclusion, I was more than happy to leave the property because it did not meet my standards for comfort and hygiene. However, if you don't particularly care about a certain degree of dirt and dust here and there, and are cool with bugs, then you should definitely go for it as you might really like the retro atmosphere of the place.

Service is very good, very close to the scenic spot ～ recommended recommendation

The room is very nice and new, and the facilities are also very good. The only problem is that the bathroom has no curtains and there are a lot of mosquitoes. The service attitude is very good, including airport pick-up and drop-off. I will book again next time I come to Guilin

Hosting Helped reserve bus tickets to Longji Rice Terraces. Even helped with pictures of where to find the bus stop Room Essentials. Bed. Curtains. Kettle. Hangers. But bit rough around edges e.g. curtains don't fully surround bed and kettle hard to plug in. Pretty comfy Mattress. Security is decent as you need a card to get in but you also need that card to be put in a slot for electricity which I feel like doesn't work as well in a shared dorm as if someone took theirs out during the night and no one was up to replace it the rest of wouldn't know our stuff had stopped charging. The people in the same dorm were quite rude like they left their stuff all over the shared spaces, but I think if I remember correctly there are lockers outside the room so if you need more storage space you can use them. For the prices you charge you can't complain Bathroom Again everything you need just not absolutely perfect. Sink. Sitting toilet. Shower. If you just need a quick rinse the shower is fine but at this time of year Guilin is really quite hot and humid so you went a proper shower but the shower in this room was extremely weak (picture is shower on full). If I was staying longer in this heat i would probably ask for a different room or book somewhere else Amenities There is a washing machine, a dryer and a clothes hanging area which you can use when the dryer is broken aha. Location It is in walking distance to both the train station and coach station, and there are shops and restaurants in the local area Other There is a cat roaming about - I have mild allergies which only really act up when I touch a lot of fur and I was fine so it must be pretty clean, but obviously if you have more severe allergies you may want to choose somewhere else

Great budget room - there was a drip in the bathroom but no other issues. Owners/staff went above and beyond. Helped me to rent a scooter from a business when the apps would not work. Park a short walk away that lights up and has music / dancing on a night. Coffee shop owner outside the hotel was lovely too. If I come back to the area I would stay here for sure.

Super nice place to stay. The lady at the reception who we also think was the owner, was super friendly and professional. She was also speaking in English, which was super nice, as we did not have to use any translation apps like in other hotels. The room was clean and nice, with a balcony. We loved the balcony, as we were sitting during the night and enjoying the sound of nature. The hotel also offers food at the restaurant at the rooftop with a nice view. The location is amazing with people selling things under your balcony, close to the shops and restaurants from one side, whilst also close to the river and all the attractions on the other. Also, this is the exact location where you can go up to Laozhai mountain for the breathtaking view, the hiking route literally starts less than a minute away from the hotel. (P.S. please make sure you understand that the way up the mountain is very steep, with no build steps/stair, we literally climb up rocks - do not go when its dark). Thank you to the hotel for the amazing stay.

I was very satisfied with this stay and I felt very comfortable overall. The location of the hotel is easy to find, travel is convenient, and eating and shopping around are very convenient. The room was cleaned very clean, there was no smell, the bed was moderately soft and hard, and I slept very well. Air conditioning, hot water are normal, toiletries are complete, no need to prepare extra.
