Hotel di Blok West Street, Yangshuo

The room was clean and spacious, the buffet breakfast was delicious, and the location was great. The free afternoon tea provided on the rooftop was also a nice touch and the views were great from there. There is also a laundry area that is free to use. An interesting note is that there are some rooms facing the pool and elevator, and you can see into them as you ride the elevator. It was very kind of them to give us a little gift as we left and we would definitely come back and stay again.

Hotel was great. Special shoutout to Sam who patiently spent each morning sharing with us scenic spots and food recommendations for each day! The housekeeping lady even went above and beyond to wipe some dirt off our luggage and left us extra water. Sam also left us a small departure gift which was very thoughtful. Location was very convenient — walking distance from West Street but without the noise and crowds. Cars are not allowed on the street from 12-4 daily, but this didn't cause us any trouble at all.

Room view vs Customer Service. Pros : Credit to the lady who spoke English at the reception. She is a gem to the hotel, she went the extra miles to ensure our plans went well. Perfect, Xiaojie ! Becoz of her, we are willing to give 5 stars ! Cons : Lake view, almost fully blocked by the roof of the restaurant below, which is a total disappointment ! Neverthe less, stunning mountain view. Room tips : Go for a higher floor, the lake view might be slightly better. Do add some fake grass carpet over the roof for a more pleasant sight.

The best hotel out of the 10 we stayed in Guangxi. The room is really nice, with great design and spacious. Breakfast has good variety and the staff at the reception are so friendly and helpful. They are patient with our queries, and even helped us switched rooms fuss free, not one but twice cos cigarette smoke somehow get into our rooms. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed the stay. It is located between Liu Sanjie and West street, and you can either walk or cab to these 2 venues. Good amenities for kids too.

Like the location as it is smacked in West street. Views are awesome. Down side is that West Street is crowded and could be a little noisy as you can hear the music from the bars in the area but if you close the door and windows it can block out most of the noise. Also, a little difficult to walk on the cobbled street with luggages as car cannot enter West street so you will have to walk for a bit. Hotel provide free drinks/coffee/tea at the lobby. Plus point: my room have a bird view of the entire West street with the mountains as a back drop. They also have a nice rooftop for photography with pool.

Booking and Check-In I booked my stay at the Shixi Landscape Hotel in Yangshuo, Guilin, through Trip.com. The check-in process was very smooth and didn’t take long at all. One pleasant surprise was the option to upgrade our room for free, which we accepted. This upgraded room came with a lovely balcony. Although the staff couldn’t speak English, they were very friendly and helpful. Using a translation app made communication easy. Room Details We stayed in a standard double room with an upgrade to a balcony room. The room also featured a bathtub, which was a nice touch. Upon entering, the room was fairly clean, though there were some water stains on the floor and the carpet had a few dirty spots. The amenities were average, including a selection of soft drinks in the minibar and some snacks on the table. Despite these minor cleanliness issues, the bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Facilities and Services The hotel had a restaurant where we received a complimentary breakfast upgrade. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not meet our expectations. While the Chinese food selection seemed okay, the international options were quite disappointing. The sausages were undercooked, the bacon was not good, and the cereal options looked and tasted stale. The only decent international option was toast with butter. It’s a relief we didn’t pay extra for it. Although I noticed the hotel had a spa, gym, and pool, I didn’t get a chance to use them. The pool looked nice but was small and shallow, not suitable for a serious swim. There was no room service available as far as I knew. Location and Accessibility The hotel’s location was fantastic, situated right next to the Li River and only a short 5-minute walk to the main shops and streets in the town. It was very easy to find and access, making it a convenient base for exploring Yangshuo. Customer Service The overall customer service was great. The staff were very friendly and polite, and we encountered no issues during our stay. Overall Experience The best part of our stay was the hotel’s prime location, which made it easy to visit tourist attractions. The hotel staff were also very helpful in arranging scooter rentals for a very reasonable price of ¥30 per day, which allowed us to explore the beautiful scenery around Yangshuo. However, there is room for improvement. The breakfast selection, particularly the international options, needs significant enhancement. Additionally, a thorough deep cleaning of the carpets would greatly improve the room’s cleanliness. In conclusion, while I would recommend the Shixi Landscape Hotel for its location and overall good service, it is on the pricier side for Yangshuo. Given the cost, I expected a bit more in terms of breakfast quality and room cleanliness. Nonetheless, it is a decent option for those looking to stay near the Li River and the town’s main attractions.

Our stay in Yangshuo is so memorable and wonderful . The hotel is located in the back street and walkable to Yitian west street about 6 mins.We love 老闆娘 who provides excellent service and make wonderful recommendations for our stay there. The rooms are beautiful and well designed . But the mattress is little hard,otherwise, overall we are very happy and pleased with our stay. Everything is excellent and a wonderful experience. Definitely will be back to stay.

The hotel is new and the location is very convenient. The staff attitude was great! Nice breakfast. The room is so spacious and modern, however, the bathroom facilities design could be more private. The bathtub is in the middle of the room and the shower and toilet sliding door only covers one space at a time. It is only suitable for intimate couples. The pool is great but the design is also a little strange; it is located at the entrance of the hotel and visible from the street, the ladder to get into the pool is only accessible through the lobby. When you leave the pool the lobby floor will be wet and potentially hazardous. Anyway, we had a great stay here.

The location is good depending on what aspects you’re looking for. If you’re in it for the views, this is a 10/10, if you want walking distance to convenient places like the restaurants and shopping then it is not the place since you need to order a taxi to get there. But the views is what made me book the room and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Taking a bath there with a view was also very nice. The staff was also very nice.

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.
