Top 5-Star Hotels in Guilin

Nice big hotel in the center, just in front of a lake with 2 Pagoda. Elephant trunk at 600m, Departure for night boat also very clise.

Sheraton Guilin is a great base for daily tours around Guilin. The hotel has a lot of choices for breakfast, beds are comfortable, and the location is perfect for exploring the food street and walking along the river. We were upgraded to have access to the club lounge — highly recommended asking for annual upgrade. One recommendation we have is to increase the offering of vegetarian dishes — there are plenty of dishes in the club lounge that didn’t need the addition of animal meat. Avon, the manager, and her team took care of all of us during our stay.

My family checked in on Oct 24. We stayed for 3 nights. We were happy with our stay in this hotel and would recommend friends to stay in. We also had our rooms upgraded to larger units. Prior to that, we had a warm reception by Xiao Wan and he even personally helped to bring our luggage to our rooms. He also recommended places to eat and visit. There were welcome fruit and sweet snacks and even brewed desert of white fungus for each of us which we never had before on our trips.. The views from the restaurant on the 7th floor were fantastic. We wished we had stayed longer. We will definitely stay in this hotel when we visit Guilin again.

We had a really great time at SYYF Li River Courtyard hotel. Here are some highlights: 1. Helpful staff We were able to check in around 12:30 pm. The staff at front desk helped us move in. Everyone in the hotel put a lot effort to make sure their customers were satisfied with their service. 2. Comfortable beds The two bedrooms is kind of small for a family of 4. It lacks desks to put makeup, purses. However the bed and pillows were very comfy. 3. Tasty food with stunning views restaurant The ZUI restaurant at 6 floor has excellent food options, great quality and stunning views. We had both dinner and breakfast there. It was the best one in our entire Guilin Yangshuo vacation. We really like the local specialties, like Oil Tea, Black rice cake with egg yolk, fried rice noodles, Guilin rice noodles… Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at SYYF Li River Courtyard Hotel. I highly recommend it.

Stayed for 3 nights at this lovely boutique hotel. The rooms are clean, modern and well maintained. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. I would recommend to friends and family. If there was one thing to improve, I think smoking and non smoking rooms should be completely separated - the hallways were filled with the smell of cigarettes and it also filled my room but otherwise, I would stay here again.

A Truly Memorable Stay at Shangri-La Guilin Our recent stay at the Shangri-La Hotel Guilin was an absolute delight. The hotel's prime location provided easy access to the city's stunning natural beauty, making it the perfect base for exploring the picturesque landscapes. While the food offerings were decent, the exceptional service from the staff truly elevated our experience. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Luna from Guest Relations. Her dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was truly commendable. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially as we were celebrating my wife's birthday. The thoughtful room decorations and the delicious complimentary cake were a wonderful surprise. Luna's insightful recommendations for local attractions were also invaluable, allowing us to discover hidden gems in the city. The hotel's well-maintained gym was another highlight of our stay. The state-of-the-art equipment and serene ambiance provided the perfect setting for a rejuvenating workout. We would also like to express our appreciation to Catherine, our talented photographer. Her photography skills were exceptional, capturing the beauty of the surroundings while providing a mini tour guide. Overall, our experience at the Shangri-La Hotel Guilin was truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and personalized stay in Guilin.

Very nice hotel in perfect location and very good service from the staff. Breakfast was also very good. Their guilin rice noodle is very tasty. Location in between jinjiang palace and pedestrian street and elephant trunk hill, which make it ideal location in the middle of important attractions. Staff is very very helpful and very nice

Hotel is in a very convenient location for tourists, right opposite elephant trunk hill. Service quality is impeccable. The receptionists were sincere in understanding our needs and helped us by recommending local sights and eats. Hotel room was spacious, comfortable and clean. All thee necessary amenities were provided and complementary fruits were also given. Do check out the roof top bar which has a great view over the city of Gui Lin. Overall the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and we were very happy with our stay.

This is an absolutely beautiful hotel. As a solo traveler, I do feel that it’s good for one night to experience that design and pampering space. There are bus tour groups which go there and seem to work well with the KTV, Buffet meals, and lounging areas. From my trip, I stayed for two days after the Chinese Qixing Festival. It was really nice to arrive and have access to the teatime snacks and desserts as well as the wonderful architecture and furniture design. The outdoor pool is nice, however the indoor pool charges 50 yuan because they offer drinks and snacks. The only drinks and snacks they offered were juice boxes and some fruit. One employee told me that there were cocktails available. The exercise room and yoga room were set up very nice. The shower rooms very clean. I would not pay for the indoor swimming pool in my opinion based on the drink/snacks. The bar that is advertised from some user photos does not exist. Some employees said it was open, others said not. Management can communicate that better, as a lush hotel should have a solid lounge. The tea lounge does not have any alcohol drinks available, but rather decoration of wine bottles. The design is gorgeous though. One employee told me that they ran out of alcohol due to holiday, and another employee told me that there was a bar open which really was not. I simply went to get my own spirits when I wanted a cocktail (made in my room). Other than that, everything in the hotel was fine. My room was really lovely with the exception of the fact that you cannot go out on the balconies and there is a smoke smell from the carpet. The hotel gladly gave me a an air purifier to help alleviate the smell. My opinion is that the power should be sat on before a guest checks into their room. I had to change the filter over the two days. It did not appear that the KTV was open (maybe epidemic), I decided to go hang out in town, but enjoyed the Victorian flair when relaxing. Overall, the comfort, bathing, and relaxation was great. The breakfast is really delicious, and the service of the employees all around was impeccable despite the fact that they could not offer all of the amenities. It seems an OK place for families/photos as well since the property is unique. The 50 yuan for tea time was probably the most valuable, and the room service staff are detailed. The butler/reception very professional, Ayi staff amazing. Transportation quite easy.

The location is very good, next to Rong Lake. Convenient transportation, parking space is available. The hotel has complete supporting facilities, and the lobby is large and quite impressive. The staff is warm and considerate, especially Ms. Meng Yan, the lobby manager at the front desk, who is very professional and experienced. She is very responsible and careful, and deserves praise. A hotel worth recommending for business and tourism in Guilin.
