Hotel Romantic di Guangxi, China

Amazing hotel with brilliant staff. The view surrounding the hotel is breathtaking. The hotel has everything (including big garden and swimming pool) and provides a 24 hour butler service via Wechat which meant someone was always answering our questions within seconds. They helped arranging food delivery into our room, booking attractions, arranging a driver to take us to Yangshuo (for free in a big air conditioned car), arranging room cleaning time when it's most convinient for us, and so much more. Thank you Kaysen and Mayling! The room was spacious with a big round bed (which turns 360 degrees and very comfortable) and a big bathtub overlooking the beautiful karst mountains. There was also a seperate big shower room, with excellent water pressure. The room and bathrooms are equipped with everything you need. The hotel provided free fruits, water to our room every day and filled up the minibar for free. We also received free afternoon tea (tea, coffee, cakes, fruits, nuts etc) each afternoon. They have also incuded a free professional photo shoot which I loved. We also received an evening dessert delivered into our room to taste the local flavours. The breakfast had great variety, excellent coffee and tea, everything I wanted and more, while enjoying the view from the restaurant. The breakfast, the lunch and dinner were all delicious so we kept having all our meals at the hotel (ordering the food several times to our room which was very convenient). They have free laundry service which can be done all by the hotel or by self service, based on the guest's requirement. I highly recommend the place.

Located right next to the Qian Gu Qing scenic area, the hotel boasts a beautiful setting with two large public swimming pools—and suites even come with private plunge pools. The buffet afternoon tea and breakfast are quite good; the rice noodles are tastier than those I had on West Street! There’s also a spacious kids’ play area, making it ideal for families traveling with children. Right outside the hotel entrance lies a large lotus pond—my friends joked that we must come back in summer when the lotuses are in full bloom; it’ll surely be stunning!

The location is fantastic! Right outside, you have the Li River, and it's super close to West Street. The room has a bay window and a tea ceremony setup, perfect for taking amazing photos. You can even see Xu Beihong's former residence from the window. The mattress is wonderfully soft and thoughtful, ensuring a super comfortable sleep after a long day of walking. Full marks! The restaurant on the first floor is a must-try, highly rated and affordable. The service is warm and friendly, and overall, it offers incredible value for money. Highly recommended!

This hotel is perfect for family trips and just chilling out – the experience was fantastic! The hotel environment far exceeded our expectations, tucked away in the mountains. Every photo we took felt like a professional shot. There's an infinity pool, forest hot springs, and so many scenic spots on the hillside, we couldn't stop taking pictures all day. The room was spacious and clean, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The staff were very friendly and responsive. The breakfast was delicious, and during leisure time, we could enjoy tea and mountain views, far from the crowds. It's a top choice for a relaxing getaway with friends. Highly recommended!

We stayed here during the October Golden Week holiday, booking a Deluxe Room on the 6th floor with a mountain view. The window offered a great view of the hotel lawn, pool, and distant mountains. The Deluxe Club Lounge provides light meals. Since we were traveling with seniors and children who can't eat spicy food, we actually had fewer opportunities to try local delicacies outside the hotel, which is typical for family trips. We stayed for five days, and every evening we had dinner at the Club Lounge. The restaurant changed 1-2 hot dishes daily, but most other items remained the same. They always had freshly made Guilin rice noodles. Food quantity and hygiene were definitely not issues. I enjoy drinking tea, and it was available from day to night, conveniently located on the same floor as our room. During the Golden Week, my child participated in a paid cookie-making activity. There were four children, and the session was well-organized, and the finished cookies were good. My child loved it. On October 5th, we had booked a day trip to Longji Terraces, and the tour guide informed us we needed to leave at 5:40 AM, which meant missing breakfast. We contacted the hotel in advance, and they offered to pack a simple breakfast for us to take on the road. It included a boiled egg, yogurt, an apple, four types of small bread, and a bottle of water – very good, clean, and hygienic. Besides the view, the hotel room also had good soundproofing. The shower head had strong water pressure, and I didn't notice any of the yellowing or damage mentioned in some reviews. However, the complimentary bottled water was a bit difficult to open, and there were no disposable toilet seat covers provided. The hotel gym has a free ping-pong room. My son and I visited it twice and really enjoyed it. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant family trip.

1. **Facilities & Hygiene:** The mattress was comfortable, the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was a high-quality bathtub. Upon entering the room, there was a fresh, pleasant aroma, and the cleanliness was impeccable. 2. **Location (Superb):** This hotel is right next to West Street and the Li River. You're just a few dozen meters from the pedestrian street, truly offering a 'quiet retreat in a bustling area.' It was completely peaceful. 3. **Views & Design:** The lobby has a very stylish design, perfect for photos. From the rooftop terrace, you can watch the sunrise and enjoy the scenery (it's supposedly the tallest building on West Street). 4. **Service & Experience:** The front desk staff, particularly the attendant/concierge, were incredibly friendly and helpful. They proactively shared detailed tips for dining, entertainment, and activities, and even assisted with arranging an electric scooter rental. The overall experience was excellent.

Staying here with my mom was, by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had in China. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for. The hotel is in an absolutely amazing location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and incredible views. There is such a peaceful and calming energy throughout the entire property—it’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed and completely disconnected from the outside world. Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds singing was honestly one of my favorite parts of our stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. They genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time there, and their warmth made the whole experience feel even more special. We also loved all the activities the hotel offers. Every morning, we joined the Tai Chi sessions, which were such a beautiful way to start the day and really allowed us to embrace the peaceful atmosphere of the place. We also participated in several of the hotel’s cultural activities, including a Calligraphy class and a traditional Tea ceremony. These experiences made our stay feel much more meaningful and gave us the opportunity to learn and connect with the local culture in such a lovely setting. Another highlight was renting a scooter and exploring the surrounding countryside. It was such a fun way to discover the area at our own pace, and the scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. Overall, it’s safe to say that my mom and I absolutely loved our stay. We truly had no complaints whatsoever and honestly didn’t want to leave! We’re already talking about coming back ASAP because this place felt like such a special little escape. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, authentic, welcoming, and full of character, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and very grateful for the experience. P.S. They also have the cutest little cat and dog roaming around the property, which made the stay even more charming! 🐱🐶❤️

The room was stunning, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and rivers right from the window—it felt like living inside a painting. It was even better than expected; photos simply don't do it justice. It is truly, super gorgeous in person! The entire team provided incredibly warm service throughout our stay. Our butler, Yue Liang and Li Zhi, were simply amazing! Breakfast was lavish, with a choice of Chinese or Western styles. I went with the Chinese breakfast, and the full set came in a super generous portion, plus there was a self-service buffet for other items. The breakfast venue was also gorgeous, with views of the mountains. They also provided a complimentary afternoon tea, which was quite delicious. The location is fantastic, right inside the Ten-mile Gallery scenic area. The hotel features a rooftop observation deck with great views, as well as a swimming pool (about 1.2 meters deep, I believe) where you can swim while enjoying the scenery. There were also two swim rings available. The lobby of Courtyard No. 2 has a piano (that you can actually play!) and cute cats (about four of them, and very friendly). Highly recommended for a relaxing hotel stay. The Yulong River is right nearby for a casual stroll, and there's a very pretty, super chill coffee shop right at the entrance. Such a wonderful experience overall! My only regret is that the holiday was too short. I will definitely be back next time! ☺️

I visited during the off-peak season, and the hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the cruise pier, making it convenient to get to West Street. The river view room really won me over, and there's also a viewing terrace upstairs. The service was great; the front desk and restaurant staff were very polite and thoughtful. The hardware facilities are far superior to chain hotels – the lighting control, power outlets, sofa, and bedside tables are all very thoughtfully designed. The only minor thing is that the cruise boats on the river might sound their horns; I heard it twice in the morning, but it was still acceptable. I'd give it a 4.5-star rating to encourage them! 😁 Overall, I highly recommend this place and will choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Choosing this hotel and staying for two consecutive nights was the smartest decision of my trip. Definitely pick Building 1 or 6, as the views from the windows are absolutely stunning. The butler gave me the room with the second-best view in the hotel – the best one had guests extending their stay. The view from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was truly spectacular! The room itself was also super spacious, with everything you could need! There was a wardrobe, hangers, a fridge, and a super long desk behind the bed, perfect for snacks, selfies, or even setting up a DJI drone. The bathroom was also incredibly large; you can imagine how big it was when I tell you I could open both my suitcases in there! It made getting clothes in and out super convenient. I took a video of the room when checking in, but didn't import it to my phone, so I don't have any photos. I also recommend checking out other buildings; there are many photo spots that are perfect for Instagram! I took tons of pictures, and even rainy weather didn't stop me from getting great shots. The complimentary hotel photography session didn't quite match my desired 'fishermen singing at dusk' vibe, so I booked the shoot wearing my own clothes. I got 3 retouched photos without paying anything, and the staff were still very pleasant! The only thing is, when I looked closely at home, one of the photos wasn't high-resolution, and when I messaged them about it, they didn't reply. The cormorant fishing performance was amazing – the cormorants dive underwater to catch fish, and they're incredibly skilled! They caught fish very quickly after entering the water! It's that ancient method, and while it looks a bit cruel, the fish they catch are ultimately fed to them. After the performance, you can queue up for a free photo opportunity! The butler service was also excellent! Highly recommended!
