Weibo·Shanshu Hotel (Yangshuo West Street lijiang)

Ik wilde graag mijn tevredenheid over dit verblijf delen. Dit hotel presteerde ver boven de verwachtingen voor zijn prijsklasse, een uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. De kamer was uitzonderlijk schoon; overal was de hygiëne onberispelijk. De receptie was efficiënt met in- en uitchecken, en het personeel was vriendelijk en professioneel. Het hele proces, van aankomst tot vertrek, verliep soepel en gemakkelijk, zonder enig probleem. Dit is absoluut een hotel waar je met een gerust hart kunt boeken, een echte aanrader!

De omgeving is prettig, schoon, netjes en geurvrij. Vanuit het raam heb je uitzicht op een prachtig landschap in de verte, alhoewel je ook uitkijkt op een stinkende, donkere vijver. De vloer in de kamer is kromgetrokken, waardoor de deur nauwelijks open of dicht gaat. Elke keer kost het moeite om de deur te sluiten. Bij regen moet je een stukje onoverdekte, smalle trap nemen om bij de kamer te komen, waardoor je makkelijk nat wordt. Het is niet ver van West Street en je kunt gemakkelijk eten vinden.

Het personeel was erg gastvrij en behulpzaam. De locatie is fantastisch: een ongelooflijk uitzicht over de stad en de heuvels. Een paar kleine minpuntjes: het zwembad was in april niet gevuld, de theekamer was leeg en er werd geen ontbijt geserveerd in het hotel. Gasten konden echter wel gebruikmaken van de beschikbare terrassen. Je voelt je echt afgezonderd wanneer 's avonds de geluiden van het bos de lucht vullen en 's ochtends vroeg het vogelgezang.

Overall, the hotel is quite nice, and the location is excellent — close to West Street, but still quiet. However, the room we booked for two couples was very oddly designed, and the two rooms are far from equal in terms of comfort and privacy. The room consists of two bedrooms on different levels. To get to the upper bedroom, you have to walk directly through the lower bedroom, which means the lower bedroom is essentially a passageway. Even worse, the toilet in the lower room is completely transparent. So anyone walking through the bedroom to reach the upper room can literally see the person sleeping in bed or using the toilet. For the couple staying downstairs, there is basically no privacy at all. The listing also says “full smart home,” but in reality, almost all of the smart features are only available in the upper room. The upper room has a balcony with a table and two chairs, a separate toilet and shower, a smart toilet, an adjustable smart bed, and a home cinema with a projector screen built into the curtains. The lower room has none of these features. So although the room is advertised as accommodation for two couples, the two couples are actually getting completely different levels of comfort. The upstairs room feels like a proper premium room, while the downstairs room feels more like a passageway with a bed. There is also a problem with the acoustics. The interior of the hotel has a lot of empty space and echo, so sounds travel very easily. This is especially noticeable in the lower room, where you can hear quite a lot of what is happening around you. That said, the hotel itself is nice, the location is very convenient, and it could be a great place to stay. However, I would not recommend this particular room for two couples. If you are considering booking it, make sure to ask in advance exactly which room you will get and what facilities are included in each room. The description “full smart home” gives the impression that both rooms have the same facilities, which is definitely not the case.

Weibo was a beautiful hotel in a great area. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel staff was friendly, responsive, and were proactive sending recommendations on WeChat. The pool is for children only - that was my only complaint.

Good location. Friendly staff. There is everything, that you need for short staying.

spacious & comfortable room with excellent location & service

Great location, kind staff, comfortable beds. However, this hotel has a MAJOR mold issue and all the rooms smell of mildew/mold. You can't see it, but you can smell it throughout the entire hotel. The staff was kind and accomodating, and readily offered different rooms, but unfortunately all the rooms smell of mold. Beware if you're sensitive to smells.
