Secret Mountain Residence (20 yuan )

Shared spaces are lovely. The rooms are clean and have nice views. They also have a Laundry service and you can rent an scooter next to the hotel to visit the area which is amazingly beautiful

We arrived at this hotel, and thought it was very cheap, so we had not so high expectations. The staff were very helpfull and very good at using translations, because they dis not speak english. The room was amazing, it looked brand new. The cleaning was good, and it was nice that there were new bottles of water every day. There was also afternoon tea every day for free. The pool was small but clean, and we enjoyed it, but it would have been nice with a sunbed. There was also a gym, which was nice, but could be nice with a bike or simular. We had a very pleasant stay and will recommend it to everybody.

The property is really modern and nice decorated. As European traveler I wouldn't recommend the hotel as is really Asian focused. Breakfast is quite simple and they do not replace dishes and often run out of some food if you are not there early. Coffee is undrinkable. Staff wasn't helpful at all as they didn't even try to communicate with us. We couldn't check-in until 4pm on arrival day which was really a downside for us. Swimming pool is reaaaaally small and all the time occupied by really noisy and annoying kids. The complementary transfer was quite of a disaster with a really old and broken van (truck back door was open the whole journey to the station). Overall, not a wonderful stay as promised.

Wonderful place - with a room looking into the mountains! To all Europeans who are not used to travelling in humid areas: yes, it might be stuffy and sometimes in the commen areas it can get humid - but there are extreme temperature changes and it is not possible to regulate this without massive ac efforts. The hotel is wonderfully located!

Good place to stay in Yangshuo
