SYYF Guilin Shi and Far Xiangshan Hotel (Xiangbishan Liangjiang Sihu Branch)

This was one of the nicest...cleanest...friendlest hotels I ever stayed in... The staff are fantastic...They do not speak English but hey....its their country so I should speak some Chinese....haha. Best bathroom facilities ever....including the inroom bath. I now know the joys of a fully automatic toilet....fsntastic. I must have a heated "throne " from now on. A nice buffet breakfast to start your day. I highly recommend yuu stay there. Thank you staff

Location: 5-8 minute walk to Sun and Moon pagodas, 10-15 minute walk to Elephant hill. Despite being next to the main road, its very quiet. There is a supermarket less than 1 min walk and a bigger one 5 mins walk away. Really good location, although its not central to everything, its only a 10min walk to everything. Room: Big, clean and well organised. The room has a view of the mountains, you just have to ignore the buildings in-between. The mini-bar is free for guests but only has a small coke and sprite and some chips. But having a fridge is nice Bathroom Shower is good, and a smart bidet toilet is nice. But this is where my main issue comes from. The bathroom 'zone' has the toilet in one cubicle, the shower in another cubicle and the sink outside them both. This seems fine and you cannot see anyone while doing anything due to the frosted glass. However, there is no dividing wall or barrier between the bedroom 'zone' and the bathroom 'zone'. Meaning if you get up to use the bathroom then the light from the bathroom will flood the bedroom. You may also be senstive to noise isolation being a factor too. The sink has a mirror with a light, this is an issue. Even with the light on the mirror off, the switch to turn on the mirror light is always lit and at night time it looks bright and you do not get a perfect dark room. Speaking of dark room, the curtains are controlled by a switch and are either fully open or fully closed, nothing in-between. Breakfast: Bread, noodles, rice, eggs, cereal, coffee, tea, sausages, dumplings, and more and a noodle-making station all available. The restaurant looks out over the infinity pool so it is very pretty. Common areas: The lobby is not large, but the rooms are very large so its a good trade-off. Theres a spa and travel agent (but we never used them) and everything is very clean and smells good. Everything is white with light-wood and looks modern, simple, clean and warm. Service: You can communicate in English via WeChat and any issues or questions are dealt with quickly. Everyone seemed friendly and warm. Good service Extras: There is a laundry room/ laundry service for free. A meeting room and Swimming pool but we didn't use it. Overall: This hotel has an excellent rating on Trip.com and it does earn it. Would stay again especially as the price is cheap and the location is decent but the quality of the furnishings and design of the hotel really are top-class. Would stay here again for sure.

Overall a great stay with family with the elephant mountain around 15 to 20minutes away. Hotel staffs were polite and gave good advice on our tour schedule. We booked the night boat tour from the hotel which is really much easier especially during peak season. The night tour is worth seeing and the food streets was just next to the boat tour and elephant mountain. Hotel is focus on children as there are kids playing area on the top floor and free ice-cream for the kids (on our stay) to keep the holiday spirit high. Room we stayed was double bed and room was really spacious, clean and well-decorated. Breakfast was good with coffee made specially by a hotel staff. Word of advice- Wake up early for breakfast and get the window seats for the see-through the swimming pool view. There are only 2 such view. Quite remarkable, really for the price. A big thank you for the front-desk staff for getting us taxi and we wish you all well and successful. Take care!

Great hotel! Beautiful and creative room design with bathtub, swimming pool, friendly personnel (especially 小阳，惠丽). Wonderful experience ☺️

Awsome Hotel, everything was very clean and not noisy at all. We had a great welcoming reception and they had a lot of breakfast variety! Definitely would stay there again!

Gorgeous hotel with really comfy beds. Brilliant for families as well as couples. We only stayed for one night but we wish was longer.

Fantastic hotel experience for my 4D3N stay here. Will recommend to friends and relatives! Hotel staff 阿莲，麦子and 小语 were pleasant.

Fantastic service from the staff (especially Alian the front desk team at night) went above and beyound our expectations to make our stay comfortable. Our aircon was blowing out cigarette smell and they moved us to a different room straight away. The food was tasty and rooms comfortable and well equipped. The rooms speaker assistant (Alexa equivalent) was a pleasant feature we didn't know we needed but miss in all the other hotels we stayed at.
