I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully clean and large, offering great views of the indoor lobby and the 'Waterfall' side. The location was perfect, close to the pedestrian street area with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. However, the service was slow and not very helpful at times. The dining experience was quite good with a nice selection of both Western and Chinese breakfast food.

The hotel has a fantastic location directly on the Riyue Shuangta Cultural Park, offering stunning views of the famous lakes in Guilin. The rooms, although clean and cute, faced the noisy atrium due to events like weddings. The service was excellent for accommodating special requests but lacked English proficiency for non-Mandarin speakers. The dining options varied in quality but provided a good selection of Western and Chinese breakfast foods. Overall, a great location with some noise and language barrier issues to consider.

The hotel overlooks the front road but offers spacious rooms with all the expected amenities at a good price.

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were beautifully clean and spacious, and on our second night, we had a room facing the 'Waterfall' side with a stunning exterior waterfall view. The location was excellent, right by a lovely lake and close to a bustling pedestrian street with shops and restaurants. While the service was mixed with some rudeness, there were also helpful and kind staff members. The dining options were decent but more catered towards Chinese guests. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautifully clean and spacious, offering an amazing view at night with all the lights changing. However, there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke in some areas. The service was really excellent, but some staff members seemed rude and unhelpful. The hotel's location was the best feature, with great views from the window and proximity to popular attractions; however, the building was under renovation. The dining experience was quite good, featuring a variety of Western and Chinese dishes to choose from. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, but some areas like the gym and pool needed better maintenance.

The service was polite and friendly but they weren't very accommodating for non-Mandarin speakers. The location is fantastic, directly on the Riyue Shuangta Cultural Park with plenty of food and shopping nearby. The dining options seemed to cater more to Chinese tourists and were overpriced. The facilities were well-maintained but the pool and locker room area were a little run down.
