Hotels in Yangshuo
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.

Yangshuo Village Retreat (
)
The Yangshuo Village Retreat is a hotel that opened its doors in 2011.
The location is just outside the Yangshuo city center, a few km into the
countryside north of Yangshuo. I know we say this about a lot of hotels but
in this case it's special. The hotel offer an extremely good value for the
money.
Food and service are excellent, in our view, this hotel should deserve to
be a 5 star but it lacks the swimming pool. It's the highest quality hotel
in town, there is little doubt about it. It beats in every aspect also the
two 5 star hotels in Yangshuo and it is for that reason we place it above
all other hotels.
Green Lotus Hotel
()
The Green Lotus Hotel in Yangshuo is one of the two 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.
Although the Green Lotus is a 5 star hotel, several reports from guest
tell us the hotel has problems with the service. Problems include carrying
suitcases, keys that don't fit or are lost which can take a while before new
keys arrive and lack of room service (one customer was told it would be
better to eat outside the hotel than ordering room service!).
Here is more about the Green Lotus Hotel
Yangshuo. We also have added a selection of photos in and around the hotel,
check them out here.
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 Riverside Resort 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.
We have a lot more information about the
Snow Lion Hotel here, and more about the
resorts' history. The Snow Lion
Resort has special activities no one
else offers. As the Snow Lion Resort is build nearby the little village
Mushan, we offer a page about Mushan and
an additional photo page about Mushan.
Already convinced the Snow Lion Resort is the best choice?
Yangshuo Secret Garden ()
The Yangshuo Secret Garden is a unique boutique hotel in the
Yangshuo vicinity. The boutique hotel has at the moment 6 rooms available
and will expand in the near future to 18, which are all located in
beautifully renovated Qing/Ming dynasty houses in Jiuxian Cun neat the
Yulong river.
Magnolia Hotel
()
The Magnolia Hotel is located 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.
Convinced the Magnolia Hotel will be your choice?
Sovereign Hotel Yangshuo
()
The Sovereign Hotel in Yangshuo is a relatively new 4 star hotel in town
with 286 rooms.
Located in between Yangshuo's famous town center West Street and the Liu Sanjie
Impressions lightshow, the Sovereign is a wonderful choice.
River View room of the VIP building of the Sovereign Hotel Yangshuo
Compared to other
hotels in town, the Sovereign offers probably the best view over the Li River
and combines comfort with what you can expect from a 4 star hotel. Rooms are
specious, well maintained (we highly recommend the rooms in the VIP Building).
Breakfast (excellent Western and Chinese) is included in the price.
Dragon River Retreat
()
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.
Here is much more about the Dragon
River Retreat, photos and price and much more plus
an additional photo pages

Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Hotel
()
The Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Hotel is another beautiful hotel in the
surrounding countryside of Yangshuo. More then any other hotel, the Yangshuo
Hidden Dragon Hotel breaths typical QIng/Ming culture.
The spectacular lobby of the Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa
If you want to experience some of China's legendary culture, this is an
excellent place. Although new build, the hotel has a lot of antiques but the
modern facilities are not forgotten. Rooms with spectacular views both to the
river and village belong to some of the best in the area. This is a much
recommended hotel!
Morning Sun Hotel
()
The Morning Sun Hotel is located at the quiet side street of West
Street which is just a minute away. It is a family hotel, open since 2002.
The 23 rooms are build around a Qing/Ming dynasty courtyard.
Although the Morning Sun Hotel has no official star rating, it is considered
to be a 3 star with AC, hot showers, western toilets etc. There is a restaurant
though this is breakfast only.
7th Heaven Cafe & Hostel
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.
Paradesa Yangshuo Resort Hotel Guilin
The Paradesa is
permanently closed.
Long regarded as number one hotel in
Yangshuo, the Yangshuo Paradise (or Paradesa) is was one of the more
up market hotels. 3 years ago the hotel was closed with the idea of
renovations.
However, it seems the Paradesa is now permanently closed and, when I was
in Yangshuo in May, no one really knew what is going to happen.
