Boutique Hotels in Yangshuo

📍Yangshuo – So 'city' staying inside the 20 RMB banknote with the kids! Ever since I became a mom, traveling has been all about avoiding hassle. This time, I brought my one-year-old to Yangshuo and discovered this hidden gem of a guesthouse in Xingping Ancient Town – Li Hua Chen's Garden. It was so worry-free, I nearly cried tears of joy! @Yangshuo Chen's Garden Resort Hotel 📍Perfect Location, No Stress with Kids The guesthouse is right in the core scenic area where the 20 RMB banknote backdrop is, built alongside the river, directly facing the Li River. A few steps downstairs take you to the bamboo raft boarding point, and exploring Xingping Ancient Town is super convenient. Open the window, and you're greeted by the picturesque Li River landscape. We could enjoy the mountains and rivers from our room with the baby, avoiding the crowds. 🏠Comfortable Room, Perfect Details The room came equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and a smart toilet. The mattress was a King Koil, and the pillows were white goose down – incredibly comfortable. There was also a clean, dreamy bathtub with milk bath salts. After the baby was asleep, I could soak in the tub and enjoy the mountain view, letting all the fatigue melt away! 📸Sky Mirror, Instant Blockbuster Shots The Sky Mirror on the 5th floor is a must-visit spot! The reflections of the mountains and rivers are as beautiful as a fairyland, making every shot a masterpiece. There's also a pool and garden on the first floor, and the baby had a blast playing in the yard. 💁♀️Attentive Service, Like Coming Home The service was absolutely impeccable! Not only did they offer free breakfast and afternoon tea, but also thoughtful late-night snacks. The staff were incredibly patient with my baby. They even brought me a pot of tea when they saw me organizing photos, and sent us off warmly when we checked out. Choosing the right accommodation is so crucial when traveling with kids, and this place is definitely the ultimate family-friendly spot in Yangshuo! While the baby is still young, let's show him more of this world 🌿

The best decision I made on this trip to Yangshuo was staying at Su She. From the moment I got out of the car and they helped with my luggage, I could feel the attentive, butler-style service. The front desk lady was incredibly sweet; she not only helped me plan my itinerary but also recommended some amazing local restaurants – absolutely no duds! The welcome fruit upon check-in and the sweet soup at night were really a nice touch, making me feel right at home. The guesthouse's location is perfect – quiet yet convenient for getting around, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Next time I bring my family, I'll definitely choose this place again!

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!

Coming here in spring was absolutely worth it! The vast fields of canola flowers were in full bloom, and the surrounding mountains and water offered lush greenery. The guesthouse itself was lovely, and the service was exceptionally attentive, making me feel as comfortable as if I were returning home. I highly recommend their signature dishes, especially the sauna chicken. Steamed over taro and sweet potatoes, the chicken was incredibly tender and dipped in their special sauce – simply delicious! The food was as impressive as the scenery, making for a truly relaxing and healing experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! My stay was incredibly satisfying! 🌳 The hotel is located within the scenic area, away from the city's hustle and bustle. And if you want to go to West Street, no worries – the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle service there. 🚙 💚 The hotel rooms are cozy, and the environment is beautiful; even on a cloudy day, it's very comfortable. ❤️ The butler service is super attentive: they remind you of the daily weather, activity arrangements, and meal times! 🧡 Breakfast is abundant, and afternoon tea and supper are also included! 😋😋😋 💙 We booked a room with a hot tub, and the staff would clean and fill it beforehand every time. Coming back from a day of walking to a hot spring soak completely melted away all the day's fatigue! You can also enjoy the pool during the day! There's a washing machine with a dryer next to the pool, which solved our laundry problems – who understands the feeling of coming home with clean clothes? 🥹 (It allows for a seamless transition to your next trip) Highly, highly recommended! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Since it was the off-season, there were fewer tourists, and some guesthouses nearby had closed down. However, Xianyunju was still doing good business, and the staff's enthusiasm for service didn't wane. They proactively contacted us early to discuss transportation to the hotel and activity arrangements. Upon arrival, they even thoughtfully upgraded our room. The bay window in this room was absolutely amazing, though I regret forgetting to take a picture... Even though fishing and other activities couldn't be arranged during the dry season, the cobblestones in the riverbed were exposed, and we had a great time skipping stones for a whole morning. I highly recommend this for tourists from areas where fireworks are restricted – you can really let loose here, as local fireworks are affordable and come in many varieties, likely because it's a production area. A special thank you to the hotel owner for personally arranging the ancient temple hiking and exploration activity. The kids absolutely loved it!

A truly healing hotel. The environment is absolutely stunning; open the window and you're greeted by picturesque mountains, rivers, and fields. The service is gentle and warm, making you feel very comfortable. I tried the head spa and Zen meditation, and the techniques were professional; I felt completely relaxed afterward. The breakfast is light and healthy, fitting the overall peaceful vibe. The only minor downside is its location within the scenic area, meaning you have to return a bit earlier in the evening, but this also contributes to the tranquility. Overall, I'm very satisfied and it's perfect for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Unbeatable location, but seriously disappointing when things went wrong Let's start with the biggest win: this hotel is smack-dab in the middle of absolutely everything! You literally cannot ask for a better spot – walking distance to all the main attractions, restaurants, and transport. For location, it gets a perfect 10/10. Now for the tough part. We had the really bad luck that the hotel experienced a major water supply issue during our stay. And I mean major – we couldn't use the toilet, take a shower, or even wash our hands. For any traveler, that's a complete nightmare and honestly unacceptable for a hotel stay. To give them some credit, the hotel did try to smooth things over by offering our entire family free breakfast as compensation. While the gesture was nice, I have to be blunt: free breakfast just doesn't cut it when you can't perform basic daily necessities. For the level of inconvenience we endured – not being able to shower or flush the toilet – the hotel should have offered a much more appropriate solution, such as a partial refund for the affected night(s). My verdict? Book this place for the incredible location – you won't beat it. But my strong advice is: if anything major goes wrong during your stay, don't settle for a free meal. Push for proper financial compensation, because a few croissants and coffee simply don't make up for not having running water. Great spot, but they really need to step up their customer service game when serious issues arise!

Before booking, I was a bit worried because the weather forecast predicted rain, but after checking in, I realized that traveling during the off-season was an amazing experience! Having the place practically to ourselves was an indescribable feeling! Even though there weren't many guests, all the facilities were fully operational: the courtyard, pool, lounge chairs, open-air cinema and bonfire, the slide roof, and even the stargazing room... absolutely everything was open! The hotel didn't cut any corners or skip any experiences just because of the rain or the low occupancy. From picking us up at Yangshuo High-Speed Rail Station to packing us breakfast when we had to rush off the next morning, the service was absolutely top-notch. It's a shame that the weather wasn't on our side this trip, as it rained constantly, so I didn't get to see Guilin in its sunny glory. I'll definitely come back next time, on a clear day, and bring my parents to stay at Yunlu – I'm sure they'll love it too.
