SYYF Hotel(Yangshuo Shiyuyuanfang)

Just like its name suggests, this hotel is nestled along the Yulong River, offering the most attentive service, the gentle flow of the river, and the most breathtaking sunrises. You can fish, watch cormorants catching fish, pet cats, and simply unwind... If you ever have the chance, you absolutely must choose 'Poetry and Distance'. Even if you don't leave the hotel, there are endless photo opportunities!

I spent two whole days looking for a hotel and finally settled on this one. My main goal was to be near the river, and I loved The Gallery but it was a bit pricey. So, I chose The Riverside, which isn't far from it. They have a shuttle service that takes you to The Gallery, and from there, it's easy to catch a taxi. The surrounding area isn't the best, but the view from the window is quite nice. You win some, you lose some, right? Even though the surroundings aren't great, the service is truly excellent. The butler sends messages to remind you about all sorts of activities. There's also afternoon tea and even roasted sweet potatoes in the evening! Another big reason I picked this place is because they have two adorable blue cats named Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. They're super cute and always seem to be around!

This place is an absolute paradise for kids! The large lawn right in front has an unobstructed view, so adults can enjoy their coffee while keeping a close eye on the children playing on the slides, swings, and catching fish and shrimp. In the evening, there's a bonfire with roasted sweet potatoes, rice cakes, and even an osprey performance. The rooms have tatami mats, so you don't have to worry about kids getting bumped. The hotel also provides fishing rods for free, and it's a short walk to the main pier for bamboo rafting. If you get wet after rafting, you can easily come back to change clothes, which is incredibly convenient. The hotel also offered a complimentary photo shoot with amazing results. We'll definitely be back!

This hotel is right on the Yulong River, and the view from the balcony is like a painting. The service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive: we were greeted with welcome coffee upon check-in, enjoyed afternoon tea, and even had warm roasted sweet potatoes waiting for us when we returned in the evening (if we missed them, they'd save them for us). Although the room facilities aren't brand new, they are comfortable. The butler was very responsive and even helped us rent an e-bike. The complimentary travel photoshoot was a pleasant surprise; the photographer gave great guidance, and the free outfits looked amazing in the pictures. To top it off, we received a rich and delicious Siraitia grosvenorii tea as a parting gift.

A stunning courtyard on the banks of the Yulong River in Yangshuo! The views from every window are incredible, it's like living in a painting. The service is attentive and thoughtful, with daily coffee, afternoon tea, and comforting roasted sweet potatoes. It's super close to the bamboo raft pier, making it a perfect spot to experience the slow, leisurely pace of life surrounded by nature. The hotel even offers a complimentary travel photoshoot, and the pictures turn out amazing!

The room was clean and quite spacious. They offer fishing, swimming, and travel photography services. The surrounding environment is tranquil with beautiful scenery. Breakfast was rich and varied. The staff provided excellent service, helping with luggage and promptly addressing any issues. There's also a shuttle bus service to and from the hotel.

I booked this hotel specifically for the room view, and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's directly across from the Banyan Tree scenic area. They offer afternoon tea and roasted sweet potatoes every evening. The breakfast was delicious, and you can book dinner at the hotel restaurant in advance through your butler. All the hotel butlers were incredibly attentive and took great care of us, making for a wonderful stay.

Not only is the location great with amazing views right outside the window, making you feel like you're living amidst nature, but the service is also top-notch. They even upgraded us to a family suite! Plus, there's daily afternoon tea and roasted sweet potatoes in the evening. Highly recommend!!!

The service here was incredibly warm and welcoming. The staff were enthusiastic and professional, providing attentive and thoughtful service from check-in to check-out. The facilities are modern and complete, with smart room controls and high-quality bedding showcasing their commitment to quality. The view from the window is picturesque, and the surroundings are beautiful and tranquil. The cleanliness is impeccable; the room was spotless, and the bathroom fixtures gleamed. It’s also very close to the Big Banyan Tree and the Yulong River rafting attraction. There's a viewing platform upstairs where you can photograph the sunrise. If you walk to the end of the path downstairs, you can get a great shot of the Big Banyan Tree.
