Hotels met Pools in Guangxi, China

We stayed at this hotel from August 12–17, 2026. It was the best hotel of our entire trip. 1. Location: The hotel is a 30‑minute walk from West Street. However, from 3:30 PM to 11:30 PM, a free shuttle bus runs between the hotel and West Street in both directions – very convenient! The area around the hotel isn't very touristy – there aren't many cafés or shops nearby, so for everything we had to go to West Street. 2. Hotel grounds: The crown jewel of the hotel is certainly its huge swimming pool surrounded by mountains. We had an absolutely unforgettable time swimming in the pool with that view. Unlike most Chinese hotels, the pool is deep (up to 1.7 m) and very large – even with many guests around, nobody got in anyone's way, and we could swim freely. A small downside is that there aren't many chairs or benches around the pool to put your things on, but we always found a spot. Besides the pool, the grounds include a lake (unfortunately the fountains weren't working), a tennis court, and a small walking area with swings. As a suggestion to the hotel: we missed evening lighting. It would be wonderful if the trees, the lake, or the mountains were illuminated, so that after sunset we could take an evening stroll. 3. Service: Deserves the highest praise! The day before our arrival, the manager contacted me on WeChat. When booking the room, I had left a request for a quiet room with a nice view. Since we had a room for three people, all such rooms faced the street and had no balcony. The manager took my request into account and gave us a free upgrade to a room with a balcony (with a stunning mountain view) and added a third bed. The manager, Xiuxiu, is absolutely incredible – she made our stay truly comfortable and took care of us throughout our entire visit. First, she spoke excellent English. Second, she was always available on WeChat and answered all our questions. Third, when we were checking out, my mum left her pendant in the pocket of the bathrobe and was very upset. I wrote to the hotel on WeChat asking them to look for it. Not only was the pendant found, but they also arranged express delivery to my Chinese friend on the very same day. That is professionalism at its best – thank you! Other requests during our stay were also handled promptly, such as changing the bathrobes to ones we preferred or bringing a third set of tableware. We also bought tickets for the Impression Liu Sanjie show at the reception. It was very convenient and cheaper than buying through the show's official WeChat account. The hotel offers many amenities: water, juice, and candies in the lobby, plenty of lounge areas, a shop, a free laundry room, and a gym. Breakfast at the hotel was very convenient. For European tastes, it wasn't extremely varied, but there was enough to choose from. It would be great if the café remained open during the day as well (for an extra charge). 4. Room: As I mentioned, we were upgraded to a room with a balcony. It was very quiet and the view was breathtaking. The room itself was large, with big, comfortable beds. There was a split‑system air conditioner (not a standard wall unit), but it was surprisingly tricky to adjust despite its seemingly simple controls – sometimes it would cool the room too much, and sometimes even when set to 23°C, the temperature would keep rising to 26°C, and so on. A slight inconvenience: the shower is right in the room (as in many Chinese hotels), and there's nowhere to hang a towel without it getting wet. But this wasn't a major issue. The room was cleaned daily: fresh water, tea bags, various kinds of coffee, towel changes, floor mopping! Upon check‑in, we were also greeted with a welcome fruit platter and even some instant noodles (which came in very handy after our journey). The room had a refrigerator and even a dish steriliser. It was quiet inside – we couldn't hear the neighbours, and there was no smell of cigarette smoke.

If you are looking for the perfect hotel in Yangshuo, look no further, because you found it. At first I believed that all the hype was just that, but experiencing this hotel is literally a painting coming to life. The service staff is beyond attentive and looking out for your well-being. Bella was our host and, together with her colleagues, was always just a WeChat window away for any request. We needed an iron and it was brought to the room within five minutes. We missed the included afternoon tea the first night, so they put some dessert to the side and brought it, as well as a sweet little Chinese soup, to our room. This is really next-level service I have not witnessed before. Our room was in building 8, which is like a five-minute walk, if you take your time walking. However, they offer to drive you from one building to another in a golf cart whenever you need. You just need to give a short heads-up. The room was simply stunning. We didn’t use the bathtub in the room since we had a wonderful pool right there in building 8. Breakfast was served at building 2, where you can gaze at the wonderful Yangshuo (20-RMB bank note view) karst mountains while munching down on your Western or Eastern-style breakfast. I opted for the freshly made beef noodle soup because, of course! Included in the price is a 30-minute photo shoot with a professional photographer, also from the hotel, who also offers you the chance to put on costumes in the studio, if you want. The photos can be taken in building 2 or 8. We wanted to have them taken in building 2, since the garden offers so many cool and interesting settings. Even a Tolkien-style hobbit house or stairs to heaven. The kicker is that you get them dropped right onto your phone. No waiting needed! Also, if you need to wash your clothes, they have several modern washing machines and dryers on the second floor of building 8 at no extra charge. They even provide detergent, etc. We only stayed two nights, but we look forward to coming back again. Next time I will try not to forget anything in the room, but even for the item I forgot, they generously offered to send it to the next hotel we stayed at in Shenzhen. ”No problem at all,” they said. We were in awe.

A beautiful five-star hotel with exceptional rooms, but details to improve Overall, a beautiful hotel with impressive facilities, wonderful views, excellent food, a great location for exploring Yangshuo and exceptionally clean rooms. However, some aspects of maintenance, hygiene and service fall short of what we would expect at this price point. ROOMS, FACILITIES AND CLEANLINESS The hotel has beautiful architecture and a lovely atmosphere. Our room was spacious, bright, tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable and offered wonderful views. Having stayed in numerous hotels throughout China, we can confidently say that the room was among the cleanest we encountered: truly outstanding housekeeping. Unfortunately, the restaurant restroom was a striking exception. It was dirty and smelled unpleasant, in stark contrast to the impeccable room. A five-star hotel cannot afford this inconsistency: hygiene standards should be equally high throughout the property, particularly near dining areas. FOOD AND MAINTENANCE We really enjoyed the restaurant, which served good-quality, tasty food. Breakfast was also excellent, with a varied selection; the freshly prepared noodles were especially delicious. A few room maintenance details need attention: the silicone seal around the bathroom door was coming loose, the showerhead water pressure was inadequate, and some water leaked from the shower hose’s threaded connection. These are minor defects that did not significantly affect our comfort, but a five-star property should maintain its fixtures with greater care. SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY Staff were polite, professional and helpful. Nevertheless, compared with other hotels we visited across China, the hospitality felt more reserved and less personalised, lacking some of the warmth, attentiveness and thoughtful touches we experienced elsewhere. We were also surprised that guests had to do their own laundry. Several four-star hotels we stayed at provided a fully managed laundry service. Having that option here, even for an extra charge, would be reasonable given the hotel’s category and pricing. A DISAPPOINTING HOTEL RECOMMENDATION The hotel proactively recommended Impression Liu Sanjie and helped us book it; we had not originally requested this activity. Despite the show’s popularity and positive online reviews, we found it extremely disappointing. The lighting was impressive, but the singing was poor, the performances repetitive, and the excessive waving and exaggerated gestures made the production feel simplistic and childish. In our view, it lacked artistic depth, creativity and meaningful storytelling. It might suit families looking for straightforward entertainment, but not visitors expecting a sophisticated cultural performance. Tickets were exceptionally expensive for what was offered, and we left after approximately 30 minutes. When proactively recommending such a costly activity, a hotel should offer an objective, specific description of the experience rather than relying on popularity or reputation, so guests can assess whether it matches their interests. We explained this to the staff. Although it took some discussion, they were ultimately receptive to our feedback and expressed willingness to consider it in future recommendations, which we appreciated. OVERALL Despite these criticisms, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The beautiful facilities, fantastic room, exceptional room cleanliness, views, restaurant, breakfast and location are major strengths. With consistent hygiene in shared areas, closer maintenance checks, warmer hospitality, a managed laundry option and more informative activity recommendations, the hotel could better deliver the complete five-star experience its price promises.

Staying at the Xi Shi Jin She Hotel was an incredibly healing experience amidst the beautiful landscapes of Yangshuo. The hotel is located right by the Yulong River, and with the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, you're greeted by stunning karst peaks, with bamboo rafts slowly gliding by on the river – it feels like living inside a traditional Chinese ink painting. The room was clean and tidy, the toiletries were of excellent quality, and the facilities were exquisite and comprehensive. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, and the authentic Guilin rice noodles for breakfast were fresh and delicious. The rooftop infinity pool offered amazing photo opportunities. It's also super convenient for visiting the Ten-Mile Gallery. This is definitely my top choice for a stay in Yangshuo, a perfect experience!

A wonderful family hotel with spacious rooms, a pool and a very peaceful atmosphere. We stayed here as a family with children and really enjoyed our time. In Yangshuo, many hotels have beautiful mountain views, but this hotel stands out because it is not only scenic, but also very quiet, peaceful and comfortable inside. For us, this was a huge advantage. This is a warm family-style hotel where you feel that the owners truly care about every guest. The hostess was always nearby and personally paid attention to the quality of service. The staff were very friendly, polite and always ready to help. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was done on time, and everything felt well maintained. For this level of room, the price was very reasonable, which makes the hotel a very good value for money. Another big plus is the swimming pool. For a family trip, especially with children, having a pool at the hotel is a real advantage compared with many other hotels in the area. One of the nicest details was the afternoon tea with sweets — it made the stay feel even more welcoming and personal. The atmosphere of the hotel is calm and relaxing, which is exactly what you need in the mountains. The garden, the views, the fresh air and the peaceful environment helped us rest properly. The night before, we stayed in another hotel where it was noisy and uncomfortable because of construction nearby, so here we especially appreciated the silence, cleanliness and comfort. We finally had a proper rest. This hotel is a great choice for families, for people travelling with children, and for anyone who wants a quiet and cozy place surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. We left with very warm impressions and would be happy to come back again. Highly recommended. Прекрасный семейный отель с просторными номерами, бассейном и очень спокойной атмосферой Мы останавливались здесь семьёй с детьми, и нам всё очень понравилось. В Яншо, как мы поняли, у многих отелей есть красивые виды на горы, но большое преимущество именно этого отеля в том, что здесь не только красиво, но ещё и очень тихо, спокойно и комфортно внутри. Для нас это было огромным плюсом. Это уютный семейный отель, где чувствуется настоящая забота о гостях. Хозяйка всегда была рядом и лично контролировала качество обслуживания. Персонал очень доброжелательный, вежливый, всегда старался помочь и сделать проживание максимально комфортным. Номер был очень просторный, чистый и удобный. Уборка проводилась вовремя, всё было аккуратно и приятно. Для такого уровня номера цена, на наш взгляд, очень недорогая, поэтому соотношение цены и качества здесь отличное. Отдельный большой плюс — наличие бассейна. Для семейной поездки, особенно с детьми, это действительно важное преимущество по сравнению со многими другими отелями в этом районе. Также нам очень понравились приятные детали: послеобеденный чай со сладостями, зелёный двор, красивые виды, свежий воздух и общая спокойная атмосфера. В горах именно такой отдых особенно ценен — здесь можно по-настоящему расслабиться и восстановиться. Ночь до этого мы провели в другом отеле, где рядом шла стройка, было шумно и душно. Поэтому здесь мы особенно оценили тишину, чистоту и комфорт. Мы наконец-то хорошо отдохнули. Отель отлично подойдёт для семей с детьми и для тех, кто ищет не шумное место, а спокойный, уютный отдых среди красивой природы. У нас остались очень тёплые впечатления, с удовольствием вернулись бы снова. Очень рекомендуем.

After many years, I revisited Yangshuo, this time bringing my parents along. I spent a long time choosing a hotel. I wanted one that opened in the last two years, with new facilities and a spacious room, as there were two of us, and more space would be more comfortable for moving around. Ideally, it wouldn't be too far from the scenic spots. This hotel completely met my requirements and even exceeded my expectations. The hotel is very new. From the moment I entered the lobby, I could tell the hotel's aesthetic was on point. The front desk offered welcome tea and fruit. Every staff member provided excellent service. Upon check-in, we added the butler's WeChat, so we could contact them via WeChat for anything we needed. After checking in, a dedicated staff member escorted us to our room and explained how to use the room's facilities. The room was very spacious, 38 square meters with a soaking tub and mountain views. The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas. The shower stall was large and included a clothes rack, so I no longer had to undress completely before entering – it was incredibly convenient! There was also a place to hang clothes in the room, so I could hang them to dry right after washing them on the fourth floor. The view from the 7th-floor rooftop was absolutely stunning. Dining by the infinity pool in the morning, while gazing at Yangshuo's misty, cloud-shrouded mountains, was incredibly relaxing. Getting a taxi was also very convenient: 10 minutes to West Street and 15 minutes to Yulong River. The hotel also offered electric scooter rentals for 35 yuan/day. There were also many dining options nearby, all within walking distance. The value for money was excellent; for less than 300 yuan, it felt like a five-star experience.

On my second day in Yangshuo, I switched to this hotel called 'Zai Shui Yi Fang' (Riverside Haven), and I knew I made the right choice as soon as I checked in. It’s located right in the prime section of the Ten-Mile Gallery. Instead of the hustle and bustle of West Street, you get peace and quiet, surrounded by majestic peak forests. The hotel's design and aesthetic really hit the spot for me—the attention to detail and texture are top-notch, and the amenities in the room are very thoughtful. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the rolling mountain views are right there in front of you, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Yangshuo's landscape without even stepping outside. The open-air infinity pool on the first floor faces the mountains directly. You definitely have to book a floating afternoon tea here; with the Karst peak forest in the background, you can effortlessly snap breathtaking, atmospheric photos. Be sure to check out the rooftop viewing platform on the 6th floor—the view is incredible and perfect for photos. You can also enjoy a coffee or afternoon tea here, sipping slowly while the mountain breeze blows by with the peaks right in front of you. There’s also a swing by the lawn where you can just sit, catch the breeze, and zone out. It’s the ultimate relaxing experience. The butler service was very prompt and responsive, and their breakfast is a major highlight, packed with local character. This is the beauty of taking a relaxing off-peak vacation—no rushing around, just finding a cozy guesthouse to soak in the scenery at your own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to stay in Yangshuo.

I highly recommend this hotel in Guilin. The location is excellent; Elephant Trunk Hill and Sun and Moon Pagodas are all within walking distance. There are also many noodle shops and highly-rated restaurants nearby. We traveled to Guilin with our child and chose a family room on the 10th floor. The kids' play area is right outside the door in the hallway, and our child absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave the hotel. The rooms in this row, facing the play area, are very spacious and comfortable. They also come equipped with rocking horses, crawling mats, and small tents, making it an ideal choice for a family trip. On top of that, it offers great value for money. The hotel breakfast was also good; we stayed for three days, and the breakfast menu was different every morning. Oh, and the front desk also provided different small desserts every evening, which was a very nice touch!

For my last stop in Guilin, I booked this hotel, initially just planning to stay one night. I never expected that the biggest surprise of my 7-day trip would come from this place! Built right by the river, I got to experience fishing by the Li River, even seeing cormorants up close. Sitting in the hotel lobby, it truly felt like being inside a painting, and the whole world seemed to quiet down. I loved it, such a pleasant surprise. Plus, the front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. Really great.

I really want to leave a review of the hotel and the area in general. We stayed here with our family and children for two nights. We were absolutely delighted with the hotel and the hosts' hospitality! They welcomed us like family! Warm, thoughtful, and attentive! The boutique hotel is modern and stylish, with a smart home system throughout. Cleanliness, excellent air conditioning, crisp white linens, towels, and robes. Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Everything is new and perfect. It's a little piece of luxury, modern paradise amidst stunning mountain scenery! The food is incredibly delicious. We ate all our meals at the hotel and enjoyed every dish! The view from our room was stunning! Special thanks for taking us everywhere and patiently waiting while we explored. They gave us so many gifts! I'd dreamed of a photo shoot, and it was so nice to receive that as a gift! And the trip to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset was incredible, magical! Every moment was taken care of! All our wishes were fulfilled instantly, as if the hosts could read our minds. My worries about insects were in vain. No one bit us. We felt like we were in a fairy tale!!! I'll definitely come back to China again, and I'll definitely come back here and stay at this hotel!
