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.

All prices are given in Chinese Yuen. For checking the conversion to your own currency, please us our currency converter. The hotels we recommend have staff speaking English.

Green Lotus Hotel (Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star) The Green Lotus Hotel

The Green Lotus Hotel in Yangshuo is one of the few 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.

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.

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.

See our Sovereign Hotel Page for photos and prices.

Snow Lion Riverside Resort (Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star) Snow Lion Resort Yangshuo

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.

Magnolia Hotel (Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star) Magnolia Hotel in Yangshuo

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.

Dragon River Retreat( Hotel star Hotel star Hotel star)

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.

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!

More about the Morning Sun here with photos and prices for the different room types.

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.

The Paradesa is closed due to renovation.

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.
