“Very welcoming and helpful family, nothing too much trouble for them.”
Excellent breakfast, location in the old town was perfect. 7 minute walk to the Railway Station that included bus stops and a large taxi rank. The hostel is in the centre of all daily needs. The best is the family feel of this hostel.

Great location, just 5-10min walk from Guilin Nth railway station. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The owner is very helpful with check in and tips for sites around Guilin Nth or getting into the centre of town.

Ideal spot for travelers and backpackers to experience local life with extremely kind and welcoming hosts. This guesthouse is ran by a family, you can feel the positive atmosphere as soon as you walk in. I totally recommend.

“Excellent stay in Guilin”
Excellent hostel - we had a private room for 4 nights with shower, very clean and comfy. The hostel is located a few minutes walk from North train station and about 15 mins by taxi from the city centre and tourist attractions for about 20 RMB on Didi. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. There is a washing machine on-site with space to dry for only 5 yuan. The hostel is run by Fiona who is a wee legend - very helpful for everything including booking excursions and providing an excellent breakfast. Highly recommended for a stay in Guilin.

“Thank you Fiona 😊”
Perfect staying in Guilin close to North station ( bei) . Whatever you need just ask to Fiona , she speaks English very well and she is kind and helpful. From here you can reach Yangshuo and Xingping with a day trip. Thank you so much!

We had a pleasant stay at Murphys. The hotel is not that central located, but there is no problem to commute to the sightseeing spots in Guilin. Especially the staff is awesome. You get a warm welcome, good travel advises and the English is super (noooot always the case in China). Would stay here again, if I end up in Guilin.

The receptionist was very nice! Generally a very friendly atmosphere. The location is close to the East railway station (high speed train, around 6min to walk) The city centre of Guilin is farther away, but easily to reach with the bus (35min ride but busses go very frequently).
