Hotel Dengan bar di Guangxi, China

Gulong Stay Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) I recently stayed near Gulong Canyon and had a wonderful experience overall. The area is surrounded by lush green mountains and rivers, so the views are absolutely stunning, especially in the early morning with mist in the valley. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and had a rustic charm that fit the natural setting. The main attraction — the glass bridge and skywalk — was breathtaking (and a little scary if you’re afraid of heights). Staff were friendly and helpful, though English was limited, so having a translation app helped. Local food was fresh and tasty, especially the river fish dishes. One tip: bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for some steep climbs. It’s best to visit on weekdays to avoid heavy crowds. Would I come back? Definitely — especially to enjoy more hiking trails and maybe try the zipline next time.

Couldn’t have chosen a better stay in Yangshuo! This hotel exceeded my expectations by far, and it’s well worth the price. I would like to start by mentioning the breakfast, with plenty of both Chinese and Western options, among which the Guilin rice noodles were the absolute highlight for me! I loved eating this local dish every morning—light yet filling, and so rich in flavor! Another highlight was, without a doubt, the large pool with stunning views. It was always super clean and never crowded—a must in this weather! Also, the whole outdoor area is perfect for taking lovely pictures. The room didn’t disappoint—big, bright, and luxurious, with a lovely view of the mountains (opening the curtains every morning was a show!) and a cozy bathtub. Finally, I would like to thank the hotel staff for being so helpful and kind throughout the stay, and for helping us book a taxi to our next destination. Honestly, there’s nothing bad I can say about this place, and I would totally recommend it. Can’t wait to be back!

The staff at LS operates like a finely tuned orchestra. Communication was seamless via WeChat and Lynn greeted me very warmly upon arrival. There was no language barrier whatsoever, as she and some of the staff speak English. The hotel offers fantastic complimentary perks, including afternoon tea, car transfers, and a photoshoot. I am so glad I didn't skip the shoot. It ended up being the highlight of my stay. Their onsite photographer is so talented. She knew exactly how to guide my poses and angles, she took the perfect shots and I will cherish my photos forever. Everyone talks about the views at LS, but I found their customer service to be remarkable. Even with a full house, their attentiveness made me feel like the only guest there. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

The service provided by the staffs at the reception is excellent. The best services I have ever encountered during my past 20 years travelling around many countries. For instance when I inform them that there is cigarette smell in the air conditioning, the staff immediately brought an air purifier to my room, that was around midnight. The next day the hotel staff arrange the technician to wash the air filter of the aircon.

Genuinely excellent experience with the stay. It was more than I hoped for. Staffs are very helpful with recommendation and transport. Location is in the prime area of Guilin with nice view and market street down below.

I have been staying this hotel many times & always stayed in Executive floor. My last stayed was 2 years ago. I believe the hotel management is cutting cost, many items are withdrew from the executive lounge. Like nuts & biscuits are no longer provided. Overall, the service & the cleanliness still maintains good standards.

We loved the hotel. I booked a room with a 180 degree view but were given a free upgrade to a balcony room facing the Li River -- I would book this room again in a heart beat. It's not just a view, it's an experience. The hotel is situated on a quieter stretch of the Li River within walking distance to Zhenyang Walking Street and an extended walk / short Didi ride away from the main tourist areas, which was GREAT because it gets very noisy down the main stretch. We enjoyed the side of Guilin depicted in paintings, watching the river in the rain and clouds roll past the karst mountains. And obviously, the view of Fubo was striking and hard to miss. 🤭 It was rainy and cold while we were there but my son insisted on swimming when it wasn't pouring it down -- worth it. The view from the pool was cool. The room itself was well proportioned, had good tech -- automated toilets and curtains, free mini bar, housekeeping was good and we had zero cause for complaints of any sort. They delivered food deliveries up by robot and every single staff member was lovely, down to the breakfast noodle station cook who accommodated my requests for poached eggs on their delicious Guilin noodles. Breakfast was simple but good. A big shoutout to Roy who was the most lovely and gracious host. He helped us with most of everything and was just a lovely person to chat too. He speaks exceptional English and was kind enough to tolerate my rusty Chinese and switch between both languages. The hotel package came with a few activities -- a choice of a string decor or postcard and a photo taking service. We decided to do this for kicks and it fantastic! The photographer (originally from Guangzhou -- super nice guy) managed to capture beautiful, candid pictures in a shockingly short amount of time, even in the rain. The picture experience exceeded expectations and my child was so happy he was able to interact with the comorants and go home with professional pictures of that. We saw other comorants in Yangshou but he said the birds by SYSF looked far happier and well taken care of. The only negatives from our stay that I can think of and I'm nit picking here is that the balcony ceiling needs a paint job and the lifts are small and on the slower side, but bigger than most Parisian lifts 😅 I would normally not leave such a long review but this hotel was so lovely and worth sharing. Thank you for the perfect stay. I'd rate the overall experience higher than a lot of 5 star hotels we've stayed at for its heart and character.

Only stayed 1 night. Amazing room with a great view. Staff are very attentive & we’re happy to help with any questions we had. Good bar & restaurant. We had breakfast included with our stay & the selection was a mix of Western & Chinese Cuisine & was all very nice. We also took advantage of free offerings the hotel provided of Chinese Cultural photoshoot & foot massage. Good experiences. Nice walks on the hotels doorstep & a busy pedestrian street with food vendors & bars.

Central location, walking distance to the pagodas and elephant trunk hill, river walk. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was spacious and with a lovely view of the river, very clean and had no issues. There’s a free laundry room with detergent available and an inside tourist guide for last minute tourist attractions bookings. There’s a terrace on the top with lovely river views. The breakfast was extremely varied and very tasty, plus nice proper coffee, you can also request noodles. Staff were amiable. Overall, a nice stay, and they gave us extra water and some magnets when we left, which was a nice touch.
