Find Hotels in Yangshuo, China

After a few weeks exploring the fast paced cities of Korea and China I really needed a place to stop. Alila Yangshuo was the perfect last minute decision I will remember for a while to come. From the moment I stepped off the plane and was greeted by Aaron and our driver to the attentive Mark at checkin my welcome was seamless and warm. Personal touches like the GM coming to meet me at breakfast the first morning to all the smiling faces of the staff as they treated me by name each and everything day really made me feel looked after. Thank you Alila Yangshuo you are beautiful.

All the hotels in Yangshuo are better outside the town for fresher air and this is no exception. You will need to arrange transportation separately to the hotel and hotel staff are more than happy to help. The rooms are nicely decorated with so much old furniture put to use. The view is breathtaking from the balcony too. You actually feel like you are reliving in the old China like in those movies. With modern facility like hot shower, bath tub, TV and most importantly bed warmer and heaters. Food at their restaurants are also amazing and freshly prepared and all staff members are patiently always there to help you from arranging tours and explaining about facility to recommendation. The only downside maybe climbing the stairs to higher floor as we stayed in 4th floor but we do not mind the climbing. Dont forget to drop by their backyard garden and play with the little pug they have running around.

My husband and I just returned from 4 days/nights at this hotel. We rarely stay in one spot that long, but as soon as we arrived at the Moondance, we decided to book our last 2 nights here as well. When traveling, it is always difficult to gauge the quality of a hotel online. I was particularly worried about China, having never been there and reading lots of terrible reviews of the hotels and staff generally around the country. Moondance was the first stop on our 3 week trip (after a night in HK), around China and we were so happy we booked the property. First, the rooms are enormous and the balconies are a perfect and peaceful way to take breakfast privately in the mornings. We regretted not bringing cigars, as they would also have been perfect for a nightcap and cigar. The location is wonderful- Yangshuo itself is a mess- a loud, party machine with lots of Chinese tourists. We are westerners from New York City, and appreciated being outside of the city but close enough for a short taxi ride out to dinner/drinks at night. The hotel is only 8 kms away, and we made use of the free bikes to go in during the day. The service was standout, as well. Although some of the staff were a bit young, they tried their best to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. I asked a million questions to the one girl that spoke the best English, and she patiently answered and assisted us in every way. The cons- The food was mediocre. We only ate breakfast there since it was included and we were too far out of the city to grab something else. We also had underwhelming sandwiches the night we arrived. However, we were happy that they at least offered eggs for breakfast, rather than just a Chinese option, so we didn't get too bothered by it. Also, you can't really walk to anything, if that is important to you.

This is the most luxurious resort in Yangshuo, but don't expect the Shangri-La though you'll pay the same price. No electricity issues like a lot of the smaller countryside hotels in the Yangshuo area. Beautiful blended modern/traditional Chinese architecture with very nice large rooms with outdoor balcony and patio bed. Most beautiful views of the karst mountains and river. Hotel is located at one of the waterfall breaks in the river, so you can swim in the river and hangout at the waterfall and watch the bamboo rafts go by. Also a humongous beautiful pool if you don't care to swim in the river. The riverside grill served great lunches, though the spaghetti was probably the best dish on the menu. Food is pricy though. They have a free shuttle to/from town which is very convenient. Downsides - Free breakfast was the worst quality I've had in a hotel at this price tier (extensive, but barely edible). Almost non-existent fitness room (a few machines does not make a fitness center). Worthless spa. It is only open by appointment, and no A/C. Wireless connectivity in the rooms was weak, so you have to go to the lobby. They do have free bicycles though. Staff was ok. Not the friendliest in China, but they responded to all our needs. Come here to enjoy the luxury, location, and views, just curb your expectations on the rest.

Alf and his staff took such good care of us. The rooms were very clean and beautifully designed and the beds were the best I've seen in China. This hotel is a short walk out of the centre of Yangshuo and is in a calm and relaxing setting, a nice break from the loud city centre. The restaurant is also excellent. We will definitely visit again. You can't go wrong by staying here!

The location of this beautiful boutique hotel is perfect, very nearby to the central West Street, but on a separate alley so away from the noise. I stayed here for four nights with my brother and from the start we were delighted with the beautiful room we had here and the cozy boutique charm of the accommodation as a whole. Cheap 5rmb washing machine upstairs also very useful for travelers like us that don't like to carry too much clothing around. The supply of free snacks in the room was also awesome! Great friendly service from the staff and a much enjoyed stay in Yangshuo. Highly recommended!

this hotel location is great, we can access the famous Yangshuo West Streer just outside the hotel. But if we go to this place by taxi / car, we need to take a walk for only 3-4 minutes to reach this hotel. the receptionist speak english very well. they inform us clearly about how to flush the WC, turn on the TV, about how to take the bus from hotel to Yangshuo railway station, etc. We used this hotel service to the station costed RMB 30/ person. It is much better than go by bus for RMB 22/person (a liitle bit cheaper but we will find difficulty because only few person can speak english well in China). I think Yangshuo is so much better than Guilin. More person here can speaks english.. the view is great.. really love our stay in Yangshuo in this hotel..the room is comfortable and the private jacuzzy is great.. I've never seen any hotel with that price which can provide us private jacuzzy inside the room.. Thanks a lot!

Although our stay is not long. But I can tell that the owner was really friendly and helpful to all guests. She give us suggestions of where and how to go. Also when at the next morning it's raining, so we cannot go anywhere, we are having a great tea time. The place was clean, facilities was beyond expectations compare with price. Only missed one thing is a lift. Location also good, not far from West Street. Highly recommended stay at Yangshuo.

The Yangshuo Morningsun Hotel is a great find. The hotel has large rooms with large comfortable beds. The location is excellent (1/2 block off of West Street) on a quieter street. The staff spoke reasonable English. Obviously an older building but rooms had modern plumbing, separate shower and tub, ample hot water (not always the case in China, even at pricey places). Plenty of dining / drinking options for every meal or time of day just steps away. Hotel is five stories. Only drawback for some would be the lack of an elevator (lift). After climbing 250 ft rock spires, the three flights of stairs to my room were inconsequential. Air conditioning in the rooms worked great and was sorely needed and very welcomed in this hot and humid area. This hotel is a fantastic value. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone

I think this is the best place to stay in XingPing. Recommendation, if you not speak Chinese, batter to talk with stuffs:) the price for a renting a bicycle it side hotel more expensive than outside (the price outside 15 per day, in yangshuo 10 per day). The stuff is always ready too help, very good breakfast inside hotel, we loved it! In hotel a lot of foreigners, view from my window was the best!!! Ins easy to take a bus to Yangshuo 阳朔 8RMB per person! And I'm propose you to rent a biceckles at this cities, as yangshuo and other cities around are so different! Thanks to stuff:) we will come back again!

we are so happy we booked our stay at the yangshuo tea cozy hotel! it is located in a serene and idyllic setting alongside the yulong river, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and countryside from the room, yet only minutes from the bustling downtown (more touristy part) of yangshuo. this is a quaint hotel (similar to a bed and breakfast in the us) that provides a warm and familial setting for guests - it is attractively designed resembling an ancient chinese teahouse that features modern and stylish design elements. the on-site hotel restaurant features a vast menu with both chinese and western cuisine (the noodles, steam bun and ginger tea were my favorite). it also has a wood-burning fireplace, books and games, providing a welcoming setting where guests can relax and lounge around. the best part about this hotel is the staff (english-speaking) - we were greeted each time we walked by and given reliable guidance where to go each day (referred to credible, good-quality vendors: restaurants, shops, bamboo raft vendors, legitimate and clean day spa, etc.) i definitely recommend travelers who appreciate nature or are looking for a relaxing vacation (whether solo, couples or families) to stay at the yangshuo tea cozy!

Yangshuo Riverside Retreat Hotel, is a lovely hotel with a very relaxed ambience with lots of outside spaces to sit in the gardens and enjoy the view or swim in the pool, the food was very good at a reasonable price and there was facility to sit outside or inside to eat. The staff spoke very good english and were very helpful with information, booking taxis, and activities, they could not be more helpful. The rooms were very spacious with a large double bed and single bed, with a balcony, and a very large bathroom and sit down toilet. The hotel looks out over the amazing mountains, and below is the river which is about 5 to 10 minutes walk away where you can get a ferry very cheaply across the river to Yangshuo if you want to get amongst the shops. There were families with children enjoying the Hotel facilities, would be a great place to give children space to play. I would definitely stay at the Hotel again.

Our stay at this hotel was a quiet interlude during our 4 week trip through China. The owners have designed a classy little boutique hotel that took us back to the era of the building's heyday as a farmhouse. Actually, there are several connected buildings that the owners have lovingly restored, and we enjoyed exploring the village and countryside where we got to see real people at work and living their everyday lives.. It was nice to be away from the tourist hordes in Yangshuo, about 20 minutes away by cab. We took the boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo, then a cab to the hotel. Woke up to singing birds and the occasional distant crow of a rooster, which we loved. The staff was fun and we enjoyed their cute hospitality. Beds comfy with a light to read by........lots of hot water in the shower.......food great. No TV but we didn't mind a bit! The silence of the night was so peaceful...as was the sound of raindrops on the roof overhead. Hope to return someday....

I fully enjoyed my stay at the Yangshuo West Street Residence. The people at the front desk are fluent in Chinese and English and was able to help me plan my few days around Yangshuo. They were also able to help me get some laundry done at a very fair price per kilo. The location is great (right in the middle of West Street) and easily accessible by scooter or car via the alley behind the hotel.

I stayed at the Magnolia Hotel in Yangshuo for three wonderful nights. The location is superb just few steps from the river. The rooms on the first floor are big, clean and comfortable. The patio outside on the same floor relaxing and lovely. The decoration was very eye pleasing. The young ladies at the reception always smiling and helpful. The restaurant joined to the hotel "Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant" the best vegetarian restaurant; and I know, I am a vegetarian. We ate there every night. It was a little noisy early in the morning when the traffic started but not bad...it was worse because I prefer to open the windows instead of turning on the air-condition. There is free computer access at the ground floor.

The hotel was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The rooms smelled amazing, unlike most hotels which carry a moldy cigarette scent. The surrounding mountains took my breath away. The hotel staff provided everything we needed from free shuttle to and from Yangshuo Station, car to Yangshuo West Street, scooters for rent and free push bikes. They also assist in hiking tours, river boat tours, water rafting etc...which we didn't get the chance to enjoy. I've lived in china for 4 years and I must say the food is the best I've ever had. It was phenomenal. The breakfast was simple yet satisfying. The small town nearby was quaint and the gift shops were ok. I highly recommend XY-YunHouse if you're looking to take in the scenery and for a location to relax away from the city. However if you want to find a place to party, this isn't the location for you. Important note: I speak enough chinese to communicate with the staff. So I had no problem getting the information I needed. They may not be english friendly. But GREAT HOTEL!

The hotel is on the third floor of the small shop market. To get to the hotel lobby, one has to goes up 2 floors of dirty, dimly lit and narrow stair cases typical of local Chinese markets. The worst part is that right in front of the second floor stair case landing, there is a public bathroom that smells like, well, a Chinese public bathroom in a cheap market place. But once you get into the hotel, the halls ways are well lit, clean and pleasant. The room is big and very clean. The bed is comfortable. The room I had faced the inner court so it is not noisy at all. But this is really a hostel, so there are shared rooms and probably smaller rooms for less money. To answer the question of value, it would depend on how much negativity you assign to the stair case in accessing the hotel. If it does not bother you that much, it is great value as compared to the other hotels in YangShuo. For me, it is still great value, because I can hold my breath for 2 flights of stair case.

My family and I currently reside in HongKong from USA and we were looking for a place to chill for the weekend without having to fly. We picked Yangshuo because of its newly built Banyan Tree where we planned to stay at first. Somehow we ended up choosing Sudder Street and it was clearly the right choice. We hesitate at first since we've never stay in a guesthouse in China. Didn't know what to expect. Also, guesthouses seem more appropriate for young teens. Neither I nor my family were teens. I'm surprised to find out the owner was a famous book writer in China and he speaks perfect Cantonese, him and his wife (a cheerful Japanese lady)'s love story was written in one of his books. The couple was nice and friendly. Humble folks. Industrial style throughout the guesthouse. Rooms were clean with awesome view. Guests were from around the world, mostly teens. Nice to chat with. Most of them were traveling during their gap year. We enjoyed staying at the Sudder Street guesthouse a lot, perhaps more than Yangshuo itself...

This place was recommended to me by a friend so I chose it to bring my BF on a surprise week-end - as we live in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It was just perfect, really quick (we arrived Saturday at 11AM and left at 2PM the day after) but so nice! The hotel is wonderful, room charming, bathroom perfect and the all old farm is warm and welcoming. The local staff is absolutely wonderful, every person is helpful, polite and very nice with guests. They also offer a lot of activities and services: we managed to rent bicycles 2 times, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner (just next to the fireplace!) at Gligging Tree, and we even got Chinese massages which were very good. I highly recommend this place and we definitely come back next time we want to escape the city or even bring family and friends discover Yangshuo area.

The hotel is really clean. You can feel that it’s almost new. It’s really well located (only 2 minutes from the main street), but really quiet as it’s located in a small alley. The roof top terrace have a nice view over the city. Also, the staff is amazing! Always willing to help! I had a bike accident and needed to go to the hospital. One of the guy took me to the hospital and stayed with me to traduce everything and made sure I was alright. Thanks! 😊 It’s a little difficult to find as there are no English signs. If you arrive by bus, the bus will drop you on the corner of West street. Go on the other side of the street by crossing the street by using the red bridge. Exit the bridge on the left side. Walk for 1 minute until you arrive at ICBC. Take the alley on the corner of ICBC. You’ll need to climb some steps. You’ll pass 2 hotels before to arrive to this one. When you see colored steps, continue, it’s on your right. In the top 3 of the best hotel I’ve been on this trip!

This hotel is unique in terms of location and ambiance. Getting to the hotel requires some efforts but it worth to do and it isn't bit very difficult. You need to go to xingping pier and then to cross the river with the boat (each 10 mn). The owner comes to pick you up at the pier, and the other side of the river. Then start a 10mn way on a car, with a road quite bumpy, but it is quite fun and will lead you to a place unique where you can see the stars in the night. To go for walk to Xingping down town , we walked and to come back too we walked back in the dark night, . It was very amzing to see the stars in the sky as usually we cannot see it. The personnel is very helpful to indicate you the best place ti visit and take time to go with you to climb on the peak not so far to the hotel. The view is absolutely unique and amazingThere is 2 dogs and 3 puppies, you walk and climb the montains with the dogs, it was a real plus to have them with us. The foods is good and fresh.

The hotel rooms were very clean and modern. The staff were lovely however spoke almost no English. We had a guide whom helped to translate when she was around. Otherwise it is all about the sign language. They tried very hard to help but don't except to get recommendations for activities or explanations about the area. This is not a complaint just a heads up. We stayed in the rooms on the top floor which were beautiful (5 flights of stairs to walk up). They were missing some amenities that one would expect at a "5 star" hotel. No closet or drawers, no safe, no hooks to hang towels, no mini fridge to store food or drinks. Nothing to ruin your holiday by any means. The location was great! It is on the other side of the river from the main town so you could relax. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Perfect for watching the sunset and all of action along the river. There is a ferry just outside the hotel to take you across the river to the town. It cost RMB $1 in the day and $2 at night. Breakfast was very basic but was enough to get your day started (boiled eggs, toast, corn and noodle soup). If you have any special dietary requirements then go prepared with your own food. Overall we had a lovely time staying there and would recommend it.

More unique experience being away from the more touristy parts of the town. Resort is situated at a more secluded part along the river - a perfect getaway from the hordes of tourists but still easily accessible to the town as well as hikes around. the rooftop was quite nice especially at night and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, food was also very good here! thanks for the great stay!
