Sheraton Guilin Hotel
It’s a nice hotel, and the staff is great. However, with no air conditioning in the room, temperature control is nearly impossible. You are either hot with the windows closed, or cold with them open, while the traffic noise disturbs your sleep

Li River Resort
An excellent stay. The views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. The staff were lovely and fantastically helpful. They spoke good English and were able to arrange all the trips we needed including transport and tickets. Not only that but they ensured the drivers took us to the right entry ...
