We only stayed here for 1 night- the room was clean and shared bathroom was fine. The only downside was the owner was a bit pushy trying to sell us the tours! All in all an ok place to stop.

The location is good, the hotel is located on the 4th floor of a building a little old. The room are very large but many rooms have windows that looks a wall of cement. The staff is cold but available. We slept in rooms with private wc and bathroom. For one night is good

Great place to stay! The owners were exceptionally helpful and kind. Location is great - right by the beginning of Guilin's night market. Aircon and big comfy beds and a nice bay window for this price was a great deal!

A nice small, quiet place to stay in a busy city. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. It's in a great location, and the breakfast is good and worth the money. The shared bathroom was manageable, but no western toilet was a surprise.

Cheap and clean with air conditioning. Ok western breakfast, but nothing spectacular. Tried to sell us a very overpriced river cruise which we were luckily knowledgeable enough about the local economy to turn down.

It's a good place if you want some peace and quiet. The staff are helpful enough, and the place is clean. Can't ask for anything more for the price. Just don't expect a party or much atmosphere.

The price is hard to beat. Language was somewhat of a barrier (limited English). But they were nice and very accomodating. The location is excellent. We recommend it and would stay there again.
