Ubicación inmejorable y habitación espaciosa
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable. Las habitaciones son muy espaciosas y tanto estas como el resto del hotel está muy bien decorado. El personal es muy simpático y habla inglés. En el desayuno sirven también comida occidental y está muy completo.

Cons:

Aunque el desayuno acabe a las 9:30, fuimos a las 9:00 uno de los días y ya no les quedaba pan (era pan de molde, envasado). Tampoco reponían lo que nos acabábamos. Entiendo que no esperaban a más gente ese día y éramos los últimos, pero siendo 4 personas es normal que nos acabáramos algo de lo que queríamos repetir.

Disponibilidade e eficiência
Pros:

O hotel era excelente, e novamente o staff foi o que chamou nossa atenção!! Niki e Rose (não sei se escreve assim) foram de uma eficiência e boa vontade pra explicar tudo, os passeios, as possibilidades, sempre facilitando nossas decisões!! Elas definitivamente tornaram nossa estadia mais agradável em Guilin e no hotel, que era praticamente um museu de relíquias da historia da China!! Incrível o espaço dedicado a história e arte da China! Localização também era excelente, perto de um dos lagos da cidade, um lugar incrível pra estar tao perto!!!
