Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be quite a mixed bag. The rooms were essentially suites and spotlessly clean but being so close to the main road made them noisy even at night. While the service was very friendly and helpful, there seemed to be a need for more training to reach international standards. The location, in an old sugar mill turned modern hotel, was breathtaking but somewhat limited in accessibility to other places of interest. The dining experience was varied, with some excellent options but lacking local flair. Overall, the facilities were good but could have been more consistent.
The hotel rooms are basically a spa itself, offering amazing comfort at a great price but can be noisy due to the nearby street. The service is friendly and helpful, though not very well trained, and the location, while stunning with beautiful views, may be a bit limited in accessibility. The dining experience is decent but not extraordinary, and the facilities are good.
Wow, my stay at the hotel was like being in a luxurious spa surrounded by amazing comfort. The rooms, which are essentially suites, were spotlessly clean but a bit noisy due to the provincial road nearby. The service was outstanding, with young and enthusiastic staff providing great suggestions for touring the area. The location, with stunning views and a unique old factory structure turned modern hotel, was truly amazing, although accessibility to other places in Yangshuo may be limited without private transport or using the hotel's transfers. The dining experience, while the grilled fish was excellent, could have offered more local options. The facilities were top-notch, with amazing attention to detail and care.
Although the hotel offers a private location overlooking the karst, the noise from nearby loud music festivals can be disturbing. The rooms are very close to the main road, which may affect the quality of sleep. The service is sweet but might need improvement in terms of efficiency. The breathtaking setting provides stunning views, yet accessibility to other attractions in Yangshuo is limited without personal transport or using the hotel's transfer services. The dining options, although not extraordinary, can be satisfactory, and the facilities are generally good.
The hotel provided rooms that were above average, albeit close to the main road, attracting a lively crowd due to nearby music festivals. While the service was friendly and helpful, the establishment's high-end image might set a slightly different expectation, especially regarding the balcony doors not sealing well against insects. The architecturally unique location with beautiful views of limestone mountains was a standout, but accessibility to other attractions was limited without personal transport or hotel transfers. Dining options varied, with some loud and overcrowded experiences, although staff attention to detail was commendable. The facilities, though modern, had some design flaws that were noticeable.
The hotel has some stunning views and is located in an old sugar cane factory, retaining the original structure. The rooms are big but very noisy due to the nearby street and lack of proper insulation. The service is good overall, but some cost-cutting measures were noticeable like not providing pool-chair cushions. The dining is decent, but not extraordinary as one would expect. The facilities are average but could be improved.
The hotel is situated in a beautiful scenery location with stunning views. The rooms, although not as fancy as expected at this price, are clean and the staff is extremely polite and helpful. The dining options are decent but could have more local varieties. The facilities are well-maintained with some room for improvement in certain areas.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were essentially suites and spotlessly clean, though a bit noisy due to the nearby street. The service was top-notch, with personal touches like blending a passion fruit juice for me. The pleasant location in a quiet area close to the old factory structure was stunning, with some significant issues. The dining experience was good, but not extraordinary, and could have featured more local dishes. The facilities were excellent overall.
The hotel rooms are a bit noisy due to the proximity of the road, but the service was great and welcoming. The location is breathtaking but limited in accessibility. The dining experience was just okay, and the facilities are good.
The hotel is a mix of comfort and noise with amazing spa-like rooms but some disturbance from nearby street noise and loud music festivals. The service is lovely and accommodating, with a good balance of youthful enthusiasm and helpfulness. The unique location offers stunning views but limited accessibility to other attractions. The dining experience is decent but lacks variety and consistency.
