"During the Dragon Boat Festival, we brought our child to Guilin and it rained continuously, making it very inconvenient to go out. Luckily, we chose this Qixing Holiday Hotel. The family room was spacious, with separate areas for play and rest, equipped with a small tent and play mat. Since we couldn't go out to play due to the rain, our child had a great time playing in the room. The hotel also has an indoor children's playground, which was perfect for letting the kids burn off energy on a rainy day without having to brave the outdoors. The breakfast offered a wide variety of mild options, suitable for children. The hotel environment was quiet and serene, not noisy at all. It was only about a ten-minute drive to city attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area, and parking was convenient. For a family trip during the rainy season, staying here was stress-free and effortless. We would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Guilin."

The hotel boasts a prime location with stunning, direct views of the Li River's scenic beauty, and it's right next to the core Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area. From my room's floor-to-ceiling windows, I could admire a picturesque blend of peaks and rivers – verdant hills and clear waters by day, and a dazzling display of lights along the banks with cruise boats gliding across the lake at night. It was easy to snap some truly atmospheric photos. Transportation is incredibly convenient.

She patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions, providing truly attentive and warm service. My room was spotless and tidy, with soft and comfortable bedding. The five-star facilities are comprehensive and complemented by thoughtful, human-centric service. Combining beautiful natural scenery with excellent service, I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Guilin."

"I had a great time at this hotel. The location is great next to a shopping street and the room was beautiful and was kept very clean. The hotel staff were very accommodating and helped me plan an amazing overnight trip to Yangshuo. I’d high recommend this place to anyone traveling in Guilin/Yangshuo! I’d recommend riding around the city with the rental e-scooters and taking a river cruise to spend the night in Yangshuo while you’re here (you won’t regret it)"
