Hotels in Yangshuo are easy to find. But which is good,
and which is not so good? Many travelers
in China find it difficult to go there
and get a hotel on the spot. And sometimes it is
difficult when you find the staff doesn't speak English, can't
make you understand what they can offer. Therefore I thought
it was a good idea to give you a few ideas about hotels I know and I can recommend.
The following hotels in Yangshuo have an English speaking staff,
a good service and clean rooms. You may find cheaper accommodation
when you do search a bit more, but for sure you will not find nicer
accommodation then the following hotels.

Snow Lion Riverside Resort (***)
The Snow Lion Riverside Resort is very new Yangshuo retreat just outside
the town center. William and Linda
run this great hotel which located near the Liu Sanjie show
They have worked very hard over the years to fulfill a dream, to own one of the real
classy hotels in Yangshuo! And, I have to admit, they have succeeded. Few places in
Yangshuo offer a better and more spectacular view over the limestone mountains. With
their dream coming true, William and Linda offer such a lovely hotel.
The Snow Lion Riverside Resort, as located 2.5 km outside the Yangshuo town center, has
a good restaurant with Chinese and Western food available. And in case you want
to organize a barbeque, these facilities are also available.
The Snow Lion has wireless internet facilities so you can
bring your laptop computer and work in the spectacular scenery.
Comparing price and quality, this Yangshuo retreat is an excellent option.
The Magnolia Hotel is a new hotel in Yangshuo town center. As Yangshuo has
many hotels you may ask yourself why staying right here? If you need a room with
style and class and you want to stay in the city center, there's no other
option.
I stayed in the deluxe double room which is so spacious you could ride a
bicycle around! The Magnolia is by far the most unbeatable hotel in Yangshuo.
The hotel is conveniently located within 3 minutes walking from
West Street and the Li River boulevard.
There is a very good vegetarian restaurant: Pure Lotus Vegetarian
Restaurant which is worth to try out.

The Green Lotus Hotel in Yangshuo is the only 5 star hotel in town. It's
located very conveniently in between the famous West Street and the new area
with East Street and the Liu Sanjie Lightshow theatre.
The hotel offers a range of facilities including a beautiful swimming pool.
About 80% of the rooms have spectacular views over the Li River and the
limestone mountains behind.
The Green Lotus Hotel is certainly worth the money you will spend.
The Yulong river provides Yangshuo with some of the most spectacular
sights in the region. Therefore alone the Dragon River Retreat is worth a
stay. This Yangshuo retreat is brand new. With excellent views over the surrounding
limestone mountains and a sneak view into Moonhill
(!), the Dragon River Retreat is certainly one of the finest hotels in and
around Yangshuo.
The entrance of the Dragon River Retreat, the Yulong river is on the
other side
The hotel is located 8km from Yangshuo but that should not turn you off
as transport to and from Yangshuo can always be arranged. For local
exploration there are bicycles for rent and you can easily board one of the
many rafts passing by at the Yulong River.
Yangshuo has plenty of cheap hotels, hostels and guesthouses. My favorite
over the years has always been the 7th Heaven Cafe & Hostel. Originally
located at West Street, but now the cafe has moved to a more quiet area 2
minutes away from West Street.
The 7th Heaven has only a few rooms and they're often full so make sure
you book in advance. The food is since long of very descent quality,
especially the western food is much better then many of the other places
where I have been eating.
The River View Hotel is one of the older hotels in Yangshuo town center.
It is located right at the Li River boulevard near the Sun Yat sen statue.
The hotel is slightly more up-market but with what the hotel offers, it's
more then worth the price.
The rooms on the front have all views over the Lijiang River and in front
of the hotel you will find on a daily base a tourist market with all kinds
of typical tourist stuff for sale.
The famous West Street is just around the corner.
The price for all rooms is Y250 (Golden Week Y450), breakfast not
included.
Already convinced you want to stay in the Dragon River Retreat?
Conveniently located opposite of the local bus station is the Yangshuo
New West Street Hotel. It's hard to find a more central
location then the Yangshuo New West Street Hotel.
Travelers find this hotel convenient and comfortable. I have to admit, I
never stayed in this one but I have seen the rooms and they are nice,
spacious and with all comfort you can expect.
The rooms are certainly a good value for your money.
Long regarded as number one hotel in
Yangshuo, the Yangshuo Paradise (or Paradesa) is still one of the more up market hotels.
It's conveniently located right in the heart of Yangshuo at the beginning of
Yangshuo's famous West Street
The Paradise is over the years one of the most constant hotels in price and
quality. It is also much used for honeymooners and wedding receptions.
The
Yangshuo Tangrenjie Hotel Guilin is located is located in the newer
part of Yangshuo, north of the market and the Tourist Information. It is a
modern and new hotel within a few minutes walk from
Yangshuo's West Street.
The hotel has all the modern facilities and, of course, air-conditioning

disabled people which makes the hotel especially interesting.
Price of the rooms start around Y250.

The Ai Yuan Hotel is a 4 star hotel located in East Street, near the

the location may be a little further from the famous West Street, it's a
convenient hotel with all the luxuries you would expect from a 4 star hotel.
Guilin is the gateway to the limestone mountains of Yangshuo. However,
Guilin itself has attractions worth a visit for a day or two. Here are some
hotels you may want to check out:
Xingping has a few hotels and it's worth to stay in Xingping. The best of
all is The Old Place, despite its name a recently build hotel with all the

hotel.
