I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel for two nights, and I can truly say it was an unforgettable experience. The owners—a fantastic and lovely couple—made me feel more like a welcomed guest in their home than just a visitor at a hotel. The hotel itself is like a small palace, full of charm and character, and even features its own museum, which adds a unique and fascinating touch.
Every single moment spent here was pure joy. The ambience is simply magical—peaceful, elegant, and full of history. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and special, treating me with genuine kindness and care. The entire place was impeccably clean, and it’s clear that a lot of love and attention goes into maintaining this gem.
This is not the kind of hotel you come across every day. It’s truly one of a kind, and I feel so lucky to have discovered it. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’ll definitely be coming back

Guest UserI spent a long time searching on Ctrip before, and I saw this Shiyu Smart Hotel with its fresh-looking pictures and knowing it was newly renovated, well-decorated, and highly rated. So I navigated here. The lobby was very clean and bright, looking quite upscale. I actually booked after arriving at the hotel. I've had experiences before where I booked online and then the actual place was totally different, so I usually check out a place in person before booking. As soon as I walked into the lobby, I knew it was a good choice. My stay experience was genuinely excellent, definitely worth praising! It's just a few minutes' walk from the North Station. The room also had a faint, pleasant scent. It features voice AI control and a projector, making it very smart. The bed and floor in the room were spotless and very tidy. It looked incredibly comfortable. The bedding was also great, and the mattress was very comfortable. The soundproofing was excellent too. The hotel staff were very warm and helpful. My stay exceeded my expectations; at this price point, it's incredibly good value. It truly feels like a star-rated experience. Staying in a hotel like this for this price is just too good, an amazing deal. It was extremely clean and tidy. When I come back to Guilin for Chinese New Year, I'll definitely stay here again.

The room has a lot of character, and the padlock on the door gives it a very retro feel. The housekeeper was very attentive, giving us a tour of the ancient village and offering explanations, and was also very enthusiastic, even helping us with our luggage. The village is very quiet during the off-season, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. It really helps you slow down, and if you have the time, staying here for a few days would be incredibly comfortable and relaxing. There are also many special activities for children to experience, and in the summer, you can even play in the water. Every spot is perfect for photos, and the villagers are very nice too.

aimeswongOpened only a year ago, this hotel looks exactly how the photos are on trip.com. Location is super close (5 minutes) walk to Guilinbei station. So very convenient if you are traveling on high speed rail or even if you want to catch a cheap bus no.100 (30 minutes) which gets you to the touristy center area of Guilin. Didi there only around RMB 15 rmb if you don't like buses!
Room is super clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay. I actually only stayed 1 night. In future if I visit Guilin I'll rather stay and book this hotel than to stay in the Guilin center which is double the price and much much older hotels! Friendly and helpful owner too which makes the stay even more memorable. Highly recommend!
Note: fast wifi and free laundry area up the roof.

It was excellent. I stayed there for a month and a half, and the surrounding restaurants weren't expensive.

This hotel is very strange. The name sounds high-sounding, but it is strange that there are only two pairs of plastic slippers. I asked the front desk if they have disposable slippers? The answer is no. This is a minus! The rest is OK. The price is cheap and it is ok to live in. There is a vegetable market and many noodle shops nearby, so it is quite convenient to eat.

This is a very nice guesthouse with complete facilities and cleanliness. It's a little far from Guilin North Station, but it's a 10-minute walk away. It's quieter off the street, and convenient for dining and shopping downstairs. The food is good and affordable. The hostess was very friendly and helpful to us tourists. Highly recommended!

The guesthouse is located next to Daxu Ancient Town, just a two- or three-minute walk from the town and pier. You can see ancient buildings from the windows; the Li River flows by, and the decor is antique and elegant. The owner is warm and welcoming, making it highly recommended. However, the lively chatter of geese and roosters behind the guesthouse, along with the morning crowing of a rooster, adds a unique touch. The last two pictures show the specialty tofu that the owner of the small tavern opposite the guesthouse highly recommends.

Complete facilities, good sanitation, free parking, close to the pier, and a nice owner who can help book tickets and transfer to scenic spots, which is convenient for guests. It is a good choice for car enthusiasts.
