Xianyunju Resort Hotel (Yangshuo 20 yuan Scenic Area Branch)

The hotel has very friendly staff, a great dog and a roof top terrace with beautiful views on the mountains. We enjoyed the riverside room with a special room for having tea with, again, great views. The ferry to Jin Ping is an easy walk and a great alternative to the big day cruise ships who quickly pass by for the “must have photo”. The trip to the hotel goes via a windy road, it is a bit remote but the hotel is highly recommended!

Outstanding on all aspects!! We loved our time at this lovely hotel on Xingping Island! The owner was so kind. He speaks fluent English. Every morning he arranged activities and provided cultural, historical, and philosophical explanations. One morning we drove us to a more remote area in his car. Another morning he arranged for a small group of us to hike to the top of a peak to watch the sunrise. He made sure we knew about hiking trails that were off-the-beaten-path. We are truly grateful for such a kind host who adopted us and made us feel like family. The restaurant was also outstanding; we ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel because the cooks consistently made the best dishes we have had in our travels in China. Our room had a panoramic view; the bed was comfortable; the towels clean, white, and fresh. It was a perfect stay and we hope to go back next year.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and this mainly due to the amazing owner of the hotel. He picked us up at the ferry and the next day offered us a private tour. He was one of the few Chinese people we met who could speak good English. He gave us an amazing tour and we got a lot of background on the area and the country. We thought we were able to visit longji terraces from this area. The owner said it would take too long and offered to refund 1 night to help us have 1 night in Longji. And also helped us with everything like arranging transport Top service at an amazing location between the mountains

The hotel is located in the much quieter fishing village. The ancient town itself is just a short walk and a 2 minute ferry across the river. It took a while to get to due to the narrow mountain roads but the views were excellent. The hotel manager / owner spoke excellent English and was incredibly helpful in giving us travel tips for the area. The communication before hand via wechat was also excellent and they helped to accommodate a vegetarian and gluten free dietary restriction which was really appreciated. The room itself was very large, the bed was super comfortable and the shower was excellent. No complaints at all and would recommend to a friend.

Wonderful hotel situated on the opposite side of the river to xingping and therefore much quieter location. An easy and picturesque walk from the hotel to the ferry to get to the town. Arrived here straight from airport late at night and there were no problems with checking in. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was great. A good quiet choice for exploring the area

Amazing rooftop view!!!!! After staying two days in Yangshuo we decided to switch our hotel to more secluded area to experience the real beauty of karst mountains. We were not disappointed. This hotel is fully surrounded by beautiful mountains. They have their rooftop set up for beautiful sunset and we were able to see so many stars at night. It was truly a relaxing experience. The hotel manager spoke good English. They upgraded our room to a honeymoon suite. What a pleasant surprise! They were also very helpful with planning our activities. We hiked up to Damian mountain one day and enjoyed unforgettable view. Although it was a bit strenuous climbing every step was worth it. The view was sooooo rewarding. Back to hotel, here are some pros and cons of this hotel. PROS: 1. Amazing view. 2. Friendly and helpful staff. 3. Restaurant served delicious food and they were very accommodating to our special diet. CONS: 1. DiDi/Taxi is not available here. Hotel offers free pickup and drop off service to ferry dock (5 minute ride) Pay 5rmb to cross the river (2 minute ride). Get dropped off at ancient town “Xingping.” This town has many restaurants, shops and convenience. It’s quite simple to get to Xingping. People like me don’t mind the inconvenience because we chose to stay at secluded hotel location. 2. Room needs some upgrade with furniture and plumbing. Sofa can use some spotting. Overall we were very satisfied with this hotel and we will definitely return!
