“Exceptional stay - lovely staff and view.”
Shelly was amazing - her English was very good and she was incredibly helpful and friendly- she even took us on the back of her scooter to the ferry and arranged all our taxis. We left too early for breakfast and she left us a lovely packed breakfast. Very kind . The room was amazing - clean and bright with a beautiful view. I enjoyed my swim in the pool.

Very beautiful location. Quite as it is opposite of the Li River and out of the very noisy and busy Yangshuo. It's easy to reach by taxi or Didi. Take care you get the chinese hotel name from the staff for ordering a driver. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good. The rooms are big and modern. We had a room with a breathtaking Mountain river view , see picture of the sunrise. Highly recommend family business. Thanks to the Hotel team.

“Fabulous hotel with a wonderful family looking after you.”
Everything! Stunning location, wonderful kind and caring staff. Super clean modern room. Mo (at reception) guided us through Alipay and didi and gave us a great deal of help suggesting things to do, renting bicycles etc. His lovely mum, did some washing for us, the cook made a lovely breakfast for us every morning! Was actually very sad to leave, wish we had more time there.
