Nice place to stay.
Stayed here for 4 nights. Staff are very friendly. Was given an upgraded room. Excellent housekeeping. Updated facilities but Poor wifi signal. Location is not that great cause it’s in an alley and maybe difficult to find if using public bus from train station. Overall, good value for money. Will consider staying again if I revisit Guilin again.

Central Location
Conveniently located, close to shops, eateries & places of interest. A little out of the way in terms of finding the hotel and would need gps in this regard. Otherwise, v very happy with the friendly service & ease of access to all amenities.

We had a lovely room overlooking the river. This is a small property
and I believe all the rooms are individual.
Breakfasts are individually prepared, guests can select from a menu.
I had fresh fruit and was given a huge plateful.

I loved this place! Very helpful. Great breakfast. Very clean and well kept. Great location next to the river within walking distance from elephant hill. Two room suite was perfect for us and our two teenagers. Guilin and the river cruise to Yangshuo was awesome.

Great value for the money
This is the old Riverside Hostel rebranded as Riverside Inn. Clean and comfortable rooms, helpful and friendly staff. Quiet neighborhood but a bit far from the main local attractions.

Amazing place, great staff. Thank you Lulu!
The hotel is spotlessly clean, modern (recently refurbished), with supremely comfortable beds. The rooms are a good size given the price, and the location is next to the river and right in the centre of town, allowing easy exploration by foot. The staff are friendly, speak good English and the stand out is Lulu who is always smiling, laughing and very welcoming. Plus she makes really good dumplings, so you've got everything you need on-site for a comfortable stay. Their wireless is very fast, too. Would absolutely recommend and definitely stay here again.

Amazing! Do The Upgrade!
So, I chose a basic room at first but ended up doing the upgrade. SO WORTH IT!!!
Here's a list of things I liked:
- The room itself - just wow. Wow! Clean, Luxurious - you'd never think it packed all this from other photos of outside.
- Location. Right on the Li River, friends and I were able to walk around and eat, see Elephant Hill, and go thru and see the Sun and Moon towers in the park along with the original gate to the city... we walked awhile but it's all that close.
- Actual tours/pricing. A lot of hotels in China advertise access to a "tour to __", but in reality it's a third party they have to contact.. and arrange and its not what I imagined. This was the only hotel that did it how I imagined: Exact prices for each tour behind them on chalkboard and readily able to tell you about what each tour offered.
- Options for breakfast. I had gotten used to Chinese breakfast but I tried their American one for funsies. Very good!
This is definitely a diamond in the rough, in fact, had I known - I might have trimmed days off of Beijing planned my trip to Guilin differently. That is how much I loved this spot.

It is a bit hard to find since the hotel is hidden in an alley along the River Li. Other than that the facility is fine and kind elegant and stylish. You may walk along the river and find many interesting scenery in city Guilin

Freundliche Gastgeber mit schönem Zimmer
Am Besten empfand ich die Gastfreundlichkeit und die ausführlichen Hilfen für die Tourenplanung.
Ich konnte meine Tasche auch da lassen, weil ich noch einen Abstecher zu den Reisterrassen geplant hatte.
Das Zimmer war sauber, das wifi gut, das Wasser warm - was möchte man mehr im zentralen Guilin :).
