Best Hotel so far on our trip. Beautiful surroundings & location. Would definitely return
Pros:

We loved the location across from the lake, we thought the singing & instrument playing by the local retired people was magical. The staff were extremely helpful organising our driver & tours. Breakfast was wonderful situated on the top floor with views. The property was beautifully decorated with an amazing collection of antiques belonging to the owner. Would highly recommend this property

Cons:

Everything was wonderful

Eine fantastische Wohlfühl-Oase in Guilin
Pros:

Wir hatten einen hervorragenden Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel. Die Einrichtung von dem Hotel war fantastisch, auch die einzelnen Zimmer (wir hatten zwei) waren sehr gut ausgestattet. Ich war mehr als positiv überrascht und würde auch jederzeit wieder hierher kommen. Der Ausblick vom Frühstücksraum ist fantastisch. Das Hotel ist nicht im Zentrum, etwas abseits, dafür aber sehr ruhig am See gelegen. Beaonders toll ist auch das Personal. Es geb keine Frage, die sie nicht benatowrten oder sich kümmern konnten oder wollten. Es war schlichtwegs perfekt! Vielen Dank!

Cons:

Nichts, alles war gut
