📍 No. 7 Longzhu Road, Diecai District, Guilin
★★★★★ 9.7 (7,661 reviews)

"Upgraded to a balcony room for one night, directly facing the beautiful Li River and Fubo Hill. The evening breeze was so pleasant. The double sinks, toilet, and shower room were all separate, which was very convenient. Later, we moved to a 180-degree river view room, where I could just relax on the tatami mat and gaze at the river – truly a stolen moment of leisure. The oversized bathtub was perfect for a relaxing soak and stress relief. The mini-bar was free, and the complimentary fruit at night was delicious. The butler and front desk staff were all so kind, polite, and provided excellent service, always ready to help. They proactively asked daily if we needed anything, if the room temperature was comfortable, or if we wanted to choose different pillows. We slept wonderfully every night. The hotel breakfast offered a great variety, including two types of rice noodles (dry and soup). There were also two kinds of herbal teas daily, like luo han guo and goji berry. We had dinner à la carte, and the food was delicious, the ambiance beautiful, making it perfect for photos. The hotel package included a photoshoot with a good selection of outfits. The photographer was patient and meticulous, and selecting the photos was a smooth process. My mom absolutely loved the hotel's cultural handicraft experience; she made three phone charms and really enjoyed it. I also tried the hotel spa. The masseuse was quiet throughout but worked hard, and her technique was very good. The most memorable part of our Guilin trip was our stay at Lijiang Courtyard. We felt completely at home. We'll definitely book here again next time!"

Sheraton Guilin Hotel ★★★★★
"This truly lives up to its five-star rating! Emily at the front desk was absolutely wonderful, incredibly friendly and even went out of her way to recommend local noodle shops and scenic routes to avoid crowds – she really made a fantastic impression. They even gave us a cute elephant souvenir, just like the iconic Elephant Trunk Hill! The hotel's public areas are stunning, with mountains, rivers, and lush greenery everywhere you look. Every photo you take here turns into an amazing, atmospheric shot, and it's so relaxing to take a stroll. The room was an even bigger surprise: spotless, fresh, and free of any odors. After a long day, lying down instantly melted away all the stress. You can see the vibrant green trees and the Li River right from the room, allowing you to experience Guilin's famous landscapes without even stepping outside. The soundproofing was excellent, and the facilities were comprehensive; every little detail showed careful thought. Honestly, I couldn't find a single fault with the service, the views, or the room. The value for money is incredible! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Guilin, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting!"
