Chongzuo Hotels with Bars

The room, facilities, and views were absolutely perfect. For a luxury hotel, I usually look forward to the service the most, but this time I was a bit disappointed. I was contacted by phone the afternoon before, but after failing to connect on WeChat, there was no follow-up regarding booking any hotel activities. Upon arrival, after calling to ask about parking, the butler helped arrange a welcome ceremony, which was very local and unique, and offered me some 'bingfen' (a local dessert) to try. Check-in was handled in a separate area. The front desk lady wasn't very chatty, didn't smile much, and after confirming my reservation, didn't provide any information about the hotel. Perhaps she assumed the butler would cover that. There was a brief introduction to the room, but no explanation of the Wi-Fi or mini-bar usage. All of this was later conveyed through standardized messages via the butler's corporate WeChat. My suitcase had two wheels damaged from rough handling. I asked the bellhop if the engineering department could temporarily glue them, but he simply said it wasn't possible. The Eggs Benedict at breakfast weren't very good; I'd suggest the restaurant management taste them themselves. I also asked for a celery mixed juice, and two different staff members immediately said they didn't have it. Eventually, a lady in a blue uniform said it could be made, but there would be an extra charge. Since I was only staying one night, I wanted to have some clothes ironed, but it turned out they needed to be sent to a laundry facility in Nanning, which was quite unexpected. I tried the rope-making activity, but the instructor didn't seem to fully understand it herself. I had booked it hoping to bring home something handmade, but it ended up being an awkward experience. The hotel actually has quite a few activities, but I suggest they take them more seriously, especially given the price point. I came into this trip with high expectations, but these experiences were a bit unacceptable.

Because I played Funa Secret Land and wanted to find a nearby homestay, I was cheated to set a huge and huge homestay. I could call the police. After seeing the room, I decisively retired (a hidden lightning), and hid into this homestay hidden near the Heishui River. The name is very good, ”bo'an”. It probably means that the journey has been so far that you can finally stop at the shore. 🍃 Regarding the environment: Its architectural style is very restrained, is a large pure white wall with minimalist lines, no redundant decoration. This design is not for conspicuous, but for ”invisible” - so that the sight can penetrate the glass without obstruction, directly on the outdoor karst forest and green field. The vegetation in the courtyard is very ”barbaric”, with huge banana leaves almost poking under the eaves, and the white walls form a strong visual contrast. Walking in it creates an illusion: not people live in buildings, but buildings are gently wrapped in rainforests. The most touching are the designs of ”borrowing”. Whether sitting on a wooden chair in the living room or on the terrace of the room, the end of the line of sight is always the continuous green hills, winding rivers and open fields. Here, the building itself is like a picture frame, setting the most essence of Guangxi landscape into the background of daily life. 🥢 About that dinner Originally, I didn't have much hope for dinner at the hotel, but I was surprised. The sweet wine and fish are sour and sweet, and the roast chicken is very good without condiments. Other ingredients are also fresh with the mountains. Especially sitting in the warm light of the lanterns, the window is the ink mountain shadow, the atmosphere is more impressive than the taste of the food itself. Be sure to eat in the evening when the lights are on. At this moment, I feel that I am not eating, I am participating in a private banquet in the mountains. 🛏 Regarding the living experience: The room is large and very transparent. The bedding is the kind of soft cotton texture, the toiletries are full of details, the toothbrush 🪥 are all covered with dust cover, and there is floss. The boss wants to come to be a Virgo. ～ There is no need for any strategy here, and there is no need to hurry. Wake up by birds in the morning and fall asleep with insects at night. If you want to find a place to really calm down in Chongzuo, this may be the right place.

This hotel is located within a scenic area and boasts its own private section. The river runs directly behind the hotel, offering immediate access to bamboo raft tours. If you want to see the rice paddies, it's best to visit in October; by November, they'll all be harvested and replanted with canola. The service is exceptional; you can park your car in the designated parking lot within the park, and the staff will pick you up and drop you off at the main gate using electric carts. The hotel hasn't been open for long, so the facilities are quite new, and it covers a significant area. The guest rooms have a rustic charm, and desserts are served in the evenings. We booked the 'stargazing' room, which features a full glass ceiling, allowing you to lie in bed and watch the stars on a clear night. Just outside the park's main gate, there are numerous dining options, with roasted suckling pig being a local specialty.

Extremely satisfied with this guesthouse! I initially chose this location because the electric scooter parking at Yu Lin Ba (Fish Scale Dam) costs money, so I figured I'd stay here, see the dam, and then rent a scooter. That turned out to be a great decision – the location is incredibly advantageous, and currently, this guesthouse offers the best value and is the prettiest in the area. The hotel rooms come with washing machines, there's a 'Sky Mirror' on the rooftop, and a kids' pool downstairs. What really stands out is how attentive they are to every detail. Every corner is spotless. When I went to the Sky Mirror at noon, an auntie even specially cleaned the glass. The swimming rings by the pool were all nice and new, not tattered at all. The room also had a Tmall Genie, and the cleaning was impeccable. I arrived early, and they opened one room for me, and I practically watched them prepare the adjacent one. When we checked in, the staff immediately took photos of our license plate to link it to the parking system. The service was incredibly thoughtful, and we even received brown sugar as a parting gift when we checked out. A truly delightful stay!

The room has a nice view, is clean and hygienic, is spacious, the bed and mattress are comfortable, and the rooms in the back row are quiet. The lobby is also worthy of the price. The disadvantages are: the air conditioning in the room cannot be adjusted by each guest, it is fixed at 25 degrees, and the quilt on the bed is very thick. In short, it is hot when covered with the quilt, and cold when not covered with the quilt. It is not a good sleep at night. The room does not have a small table, so it is impossible to make tea. There is a Shanye Mixiangcai restaurant near the hotel, which is delicious, and the average consumption per person is about 100 yuan.

The hotel is a little far from Chongzuo but you can hire a Didi for about 380RMB from the chongzuo train station. The hotel is located in a beautiful park where you can take a walk and see the 100 doors (I think it was called) and walk all the way to the border post 3. It's was surreal. Across the river you can see Vietnamese house and people. we waved. a drone showed up we left. To go to the waterfall we walked from the hotel to the tourist center. About a 45 minute walk. Not bad once you get there. The hotel is old and starting to show the tear. You can tell it was once great but no renovations have been made in forever. The carpet had stains on it. not tiny ones. The little mini balcony was dusty. The bed was big but on the hard side. The towels are frazzling it was unbelievable. The breakfast , if you are not full on on Chinese breakfast its a no no. AND no coffee EVEN though the COFFEE MACHINE looked like it had just been plugged off. sign sating being fixed. come on .It's a 4 diamond rating but it felt more like 2. It's also smaller than it links in the video and pics. There's an awesome restaurant at the entrance on the right. It made a whole lotta difference. Highly reccomend eating here. And we did!Twice. Food was not bad. definitely order the ribs. The staff is nice especially the restaurant lady. Would I stay again? NO
