This hotel is not a five star hotel, but what do you expect in a out of the way, high humidity area. We did love this hotels location next to the river and a short walk from the dock where our Cruise dropped us off. It is easy to get around this town. There are no cars, electric golf carts... More

While there are more upscale hotels, this hotel is just the kind I like. It is typical Chinese tropical style with open front and a great veranda overlooking the street and Li River. I am writing this review from my room. I have been here for five days and have four more to go. I could not be happier. The... More

It has been a couple of years since I have stayed at the River View Hotel. The hotel is "comfortable" with it's open-air lobby and restaurant. The rooms have been painted are now a nice soft peach color rather than the former stark white - a nice improvement. Breakfast in the restaurant is very good and inexpensive. I had scheduled... More

We made the booking through booking.com and after looking at the hotels website sent them an email to discuss airport transfers from Guilin and to see if I could ask for a specific room in the "inn" part of the hotel. The hotel responded positively and arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport (a one and a... More

I have just come back from a great little trip to Yangshuo, which was well worthwhile and ideal for a couple of days. There is enough to keep you going for 2-3 days and if you stay “downtown” then for a basic hotel the River View Hotel is fine. Basic, but the heater worked, the room was clean, the bathroom... More

On a family trip in January 2011, we stayed here for five nights. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. The location was wonderful, close too all Yangzhuo has to offer, but far enough away to be comfortable. The staff was AMAZING. Sharon and the rest of the staff went above and beyond, including serving as our interpreter at the... More

Not able to find a hostel, so I booked this hotel with a balcony (mountains view) to pamper myself for three nights. The hotel is right beside the river with beautiiful mountains infront. When I arrived, the lobby hall was cold. The room is descent size with regular size tub and shower but the water and room take awhile to... More

At the end of a travel day we found this hotel and its staff very welcoming. We enjoyed our 3rd floor room with balcony, although after the first night it was too cold to ever open the balcony door again! The room was well-appointed and clean. Nice touches with lighting and bathroom fixtures. Hot water and tea were instantly ready... More

We booked here last minute after another hotel did not meet our expectations. The staff were very helpful and let us see all the types of rooms so we could get the right ones for our group. The rooms are big and face the river with private balconies. The staff responded quickly to our requests for extra blankets and provided... More
