Yuesu Waterfront Hotel

I’m always on the lookout for places that offer a memorable experience with great ambiance, ideal location, and beautiful views. This hotel truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is perfect: close enough to downtown to access everything easily, but just far enough from the busiest, tourist-packed streets, making it a quiet retreat. Upon arriving in my room, I was already impressed by the setup and view. Out of curiosity, I asked if they had a room with an even better view, and to my surprise, they upgraded me for free! I offered to pay the difference because the rates are already very affordable, but they graciously insisted on keeping the same price. The staff here go above and beyond. Not only did they provide detailed information, but they also directly booked tours for me. Every tour they recommended was fantastic and reasonably priced, making it hassle-free to explore the area. Additionally, they offer bicycles and electric motorcycles for just 30 yuan for the entire day, which is a huge bonus for anyone wanting to explore on their own schedule. Full disclosure, they did request a 5-star review, but I genuinely feel they earned it by going the extra mile in every aspect. The only minor note is that although some reviews mentioned breakfast being included, it wasn’t available during my stay. However, with the location and easy access to nearby cafes via the electric motorcycles, finding breakfast options was incredibly convenient. In short, I have only great things to say about this hotel. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable, well-located, and memorable stay!

Great value hotel. A quick drive to West Street or other tourist attractions. Plenty of eating options in walking distance. The staff was very friendly, gave us good advice on where to visit, helped us book tickets, and even helped us get parking on a crowded street. The room had an amazing view! Spectacular view of a karst limestone hill with a small lake. The bed was comfy. It seemed the room went under recent renovation, with some modern touches. The aspect that was difficult for me was the smell of cigarette smoke all throughout the hotel. Indoor smoking is a cultural part of China. I don't smoke and the smell was hard for me to withstand. Once you enter the hotel it smells like smoke. Our room also smelled like smoke, which was sad, but what could we do? If you don't mind the smell of cigarette smoke, this hotel is a wonderful value with friendly staff.

As a solo traveller who didn’t do much research beforehand, the people at the hotel were so helpful to help me plan my route for both days in Yangshuo. Helped with every single bookings and renting the scooter. You can’t ask for a better hotel stay in Yangshuo.
