Riverview Hotel

HOW TO REACH: The local name of this hotel is “Wang Jiang” tower or building. This helps if you are traveling from Yangshuo Railway Station by taxi. I traveled with my friends – 3 families (with kids), and we are non-Chinese. Typically, several taxis are available at the exit of Yangshuo Railway station. Someone approached me who can speak English – so took a 10-seater. The cost is about RMB 20~25/person & takes about 40 minutes. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The balcony view helps, depending on which side the room is located on. I chose the front side view, which has both a river view and a mountain view. HOTEL: Although the hotel doesn’t have a lift, the staff delivered the luggage to the room. If you need help at the time of checkout, they may help. But I did it on my own at the time of check-out. It is conveniently located close to West Street (10 min walk). HOTEL-RESTAURANT: very good restaurant in 1F (vegetarian options as well!). It is very popular among the locals & we liked it too. But it gets very busy during the weekends. So, if the room is close to 1F, it will be loud till ~ 22:00. HOTEL STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to help foreigners. Many staff can speak English. In my case, YAWEN is worth mentioning, as she helped us a lot in planning our local trips. Even before arriving at the hotel, we had a plan. But our interactions with YAWEN (& her feedback) made it very convenient & time-effective for us. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: It is possible to book tickets for the Ruyi scenic spot, Silver Cave, Hot air balloon, Li-river cruise (from Yangshuo), Xinping (hot air balloon), Bus-trip to Longji Ricefields, & many more at the hotel.

Simply the best place to stay in Yangshou for food and a boat ride to Guilin

Perfect hotel

A great location with friendly and helpful staff, this hotel is good value. It has a very good restaurant with a good breakfast available to purchase. The amenities are also very good.

VERY RECOMMENDED! Everything was amazing since day 1. Great service from each member of the staff, the location is very convenient to get everywhere.

Lovely hotel, stayed there second time, will come back again!

Amazing hotel, super clean comfortable rooms with beautiful decor. Hotel restaurant is delicious! Location is also perfect, walking distance to the main town and near the cruise terminal and river. Absolutely recommend!

After walking around Yangshou town, we really appreciated the location of this hotel. It was in the more quiet area of town with a perfect view of the river (we recommend getting a room with a balcony!). The restaurant downstairs is famous and has long line ups every night but as a guest you get priority booking and a discount, which we of course took advantage of! We loved our room on the top floor facing the river and the bed was super comfy. Service was great and there's a lady that speaks excellent English who handled our check-in. The only little problem we had was with the shower temperature being inconsistent but we still thoroughly enjoyed our room and our stay.

I am really satisfied with this hotel.. They can speak English fluently and they are ready to explain everything we need during our stay..
