Guilin O-LIVE Social Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at this hotel! The room was spotless and well-maintained throughout our visit. The location couldn't be better — close to everything we wanted to see and easy to get around from. Staff were friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out, always ready to assist with a smile. Breakfast was a highlight — good variety and quality to start the day right. A special shoutout to the local travel agency desk in the lobby — they gave us so much helpful advice on getting around and what to see, which made planning our days so much easier. It's a small touch that made a big difference to our trip. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area!"

Holiday Inn Express Guilin City Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staffs are excellent and super kind. After checked out the hotel and I was on my to next city, I received a test message from the front desk staff and was told that I left a bag in the room I didn't even notice. They sent the bag to my next destination so I didn't need to worry about it. Unfortunately I didn't ask her name, but everyone works there deserved a hat off for the excellent job they've done."
