Hotel surroundings and decor are quaint and unique, loved the ancient style. It is located away from the main road, so it's not near other hotels, which is nice.We stayed in a family room that has two connected rooms, which suited our family of 5 pretty well but there isn't much of a view from the room since we were on the ground floor. It doesn't seem that the other rooms have good views either unless you're in an individual villa that is higher up. Although the rooms are nice, it felt a bit musty and very humid - needed better ventilation. After washing clothes, they took forever to dry. Also, there isn't a lot of natural light inside the room. Our kids enjoyed the swimming pool, which is partly why we chose the hotel. Could also hear the guests upstairs from time to time.Breakfast was good, consisted of fruit, coffee, waffles, some Chinese breakfast items, and the local noodles 桂林米粉,which was very tasty! Our booking didn't include breakfast, so we paid 45 rmb per person. Felt a bit overpriced but it was convenient to just eat there. We didn't have any other meals there.Overall, it was a nice stay. But if you prefer more open space and access to mountain scenery, then I'd advise to...
Read moreA charming boutique hotel in a beautiful setting and convenient location. The traditional Chinese architecture and grounds/gardens are gorgeous. The room was fabulous, clean and well maintained, with antique Chinese furniture and modern high quality fixtures, and well equipped with dehumidifier, anti-mosquito device, clothes dryer, water filter, Japanese toilet, etc. The service was great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. Jima village is really charming, and it is only a few kilometers from Yangshuo and Xi Jie (can walk to Xi Jie within an hour - about 5 KM) so it is easy to get taxis to/from the hotel and can ride bicycles to town in one direction or to Yulong River in the other direction. The free bikes were really useful. The breakfasts were really nice. We stayed a week, and didn't...
Read moreUnforgettable stay thanks to five-star service, delicious food, spacious and clean accommodations. Sophia at the front desk gave us great advice -- where to get bamboo rafting tickets, the best way to get there (we walked along a lovely footpath along Yulong Rover), and how to find quiet bike paths. During our stay we borrowed bicycles and rode 10km away, only to get caught in a downpour. Sophia arranged a truck to pick up the bicycles so we could take a cab back to the hotel. Our cold and wet kids were relieved!The hotel offers breakfast and afternoon tea, which are great. It also has an entertaining craft room. The pool is also fun. The hotel is located down an alley in a quiet and peaceful location. Ideal for families and groups. Very highly recommend staying here when you come...
