Guilinyi Royal Palace

Quite and very pleasant location in a botanical garden, but far from city center. Very clean in the room and in all facilities. Breakfast not exceptional, The hotel organized for us the transfer from the airport upon arrival, with a very nice and helpful guide called Jerry. He then set up all our excursions, always eager to facilitate our stay and we had the best time in Guilin. I highly recommend to use his service and co- worker David.

This was a nice hotel but very difficult to find. You get to it by a little shuttle cart at the entrance to a park. This is fine once you understand the system but a little off putting at first when a taxi just drops you at a random gate...if the taxi can find it!! The shuttle takes just 2 minutes and takes you through a great park where the locals are all out exercising. The level of English at the reception desk is not too great and if you ask for a taxi they will look at you blankly...not something we've ever experienced from a hotel before. We did find a taxi rank though, once you have got the shuttle back to the gate, if you wander down the road to the right and around the corner there is a car park, hovering at the edge of this should be some taxis.

Hotel located inside a botanical garden. Our room balcony overlooks a pond swimming with varieties of colourful carps. Room is clean, spacious and comfy. Staff speaks good English and willing to help. Outside vehicles are prohibited from entering into the garden and it is a ten minute walk from garden entrance to hotel entrance. However, hotel does provide free shuttle service via electrical tram-car between these two entrances. Nevertheless, it can be annoying when it starts to rain as you have to call the hotel for the tram to pick you up from the Garden entrance when you returned from outside. Hotel is a distance from city center. Fortunately cab fare is cheap in Guilin. Oh, another thing, there is absolutely no drinks in the mini bar. I remembered waking up one night and have a craving for soft drink....... Overall, hotel environment is desirable despite a few inconveniences.

This hotel is set in a beautiful botanical garden. It is a gem within the city. Hotel staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and reasonably sized. A half-hour stroll in the botanical garden in the morning before engaging in your sightseeing activities is definitely a pleasant experience. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to travellers.

This hotel is situated within the botanical garden of Guilin, a beautifully maintained park a few kilometers from city centre (a easy taxi ride of CNY 12-20). The hotel itself is even more gorgeous. The rooms are, clean, spacious and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful, with ponds and gardens worthy of a royal villa. In addition, the staff is friendly and breakfast is very good. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity to visit Guilin in the future.

wonderful hotel in a very nice location and very good breakfast, friendly staff. Would recommend for a relaxing stay.

Unique luxury hotel in Tang Dynasty garden courtyard style with koi ponds all around located inside the city’s botanical gardens. Near shopping and food choices galore.

Lovely quiet location in botanical garden. Few guests in evidence, had dinner on our own. Good restaurant and shopping mall immediately outside park entrance.

There are not enough great words to express and describe how wonderful this hotel/complex/service is. From the manger Yuki to all staff, the rooms, the food (breakfast included in fee) and other meals, just the total relaxing ambiance of this hotel set in a beautiful huge botanic garden. To just escape from the city which is also beautiful, to come and stay in this luxury and relaxation if beyond, beyond. Thank you Yuki and all the staff for a wonderful week with you. I had lost my sister a week before arriving and being here and enjoying the area and surrounds, just what I needed to help heal.

We spent 6 nights here. Existing reviews were an accurate guide. The setting is lovely. We booked a car for a day to take us to jingli and would really recommend this as a highlight. Hotel was great. They made me porridge every morning! It's a Chinese hotel though not a chain and there is no doubt that speaking a little Chinese helped.
