The location is in the Guilin city centre.
The surrounding areas of the Inn are restaurants, shops, banks. It is very convenient. It is close to recreation places: Elephant Hill, Two Rivers and Four lakes, Twin Tower. It is also not far from Reed and Flute Cave and Fubo Hill, 10-15 minutes with Didi taxi. It is also 10 minute-walk to the Guilin railway station.
The room is big and clean. Hot water and heater worked well.
The inn offered many tours. We bought from the Inn the Li river 3-star cruise tour to Yangshou by paying 300rmb/person. We started in the morning by going to pier by tour bus and had 80 minutes in the cruise and the rest on the bus to Yangshuo and return to Guilin city. We only passed the Yangshuo city. We enjoyed the tour especially the scenery view along the Li river, 20rmb note view, Yulong River bamboo Rafting.
When I first arrived I was quite disappointed that my room didn't look much at all like the photos on the listing. My one recommendation is that this is updated so that people have appropriate expectations...
However, I could not help but enjoy my stay here. Overall the hotel felt exceptionally good value, laundry was done for me and I had access to a scooter. Breakfast tea and coffee all included as well. Xiaoming is also a fantastic and attentive host, who seems to look after all his guests well.
22morrowsworldRelatively cheap accommodation with window/balcony facing karst mountain, and just 100m from the Li River. Some nice Thai themed embellishments decorate the rooms. Bed is only a small 'double' and has one useable powerpoint near bed right side + light controls. Aircon works well (only small room so to be expected). Overall, OK for 100 RMB per night, but does have a few issues.
Booked the 'special promotion' room. Trip.com indicates a room size of 12m square metres, which is incorrect. I measured it at 9.5 square, including the bathroom. If including the small balcony (2.5 sq m), the total room area is 12m best case. Only large enough for single occupancy, with small amount of luggage. Two people would need to climb over eachother to move around. No where near enough space for two - luggage would need to be kept outside on the balcony!
Hot water works but is not properly calibrated. Either boiling hot or freezing cold. Extremely difficult to find the right temperature to shower with any comfort. I put full hot, and waited. Water got super hot after 40 seconds. Adjusted to reduce by setting at middle between hot/cold, but water temperature remained super hot. Then pushed to full cold. Water temperature transitioned to cold 29 seconds later. Then put back to middle position but water remained dead cold. Tested this both ways for at least 4 minutes each and remained either scolding hot or freezing cold!!
Hotel provides signs to indicate desire to 'please clean room' and I hang this on outer door handle for two days, but to no avail So can only assume the owners don't provide this service. This establishment is only rated as a 2 star hotel, and given the low price point, you really can't complain - on the condition that the tariff is low. Acceptable for 100 -120 RMB per night. Unacceptable for much more than this though.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Fantastic Stay - Made My Yangshuo Trip!
I just had to write a review for this wonderful hotel. My stay here was absolutely perfect, largely thanks to one person.
First off, the location is ideal. It's located very near West Street, which made it incredibly convenient to grab food, check out the party scene, and easily hail a DiDi. You're right in the heart of the action without being in a noisy building.
The room itself was so cozy and comfortable. After a long day of exploring, the hot shower was a lifesaver, and I appreciated that they provided complete toiletries—one less thing to worry about packing!
Now, for the highlight of my stay: the guy at the reception. He was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. He truly went above and beyond to help me. One evening, he even sat down with me over a cup of tea and helped me plan my itineraries, offering fantastic local tips. He arranged carpooling services for me, which made getting to the various sights so much easier and more affordable.
My entire stay in Yangshuo was smoother and more enjoyable because of him. That guy is 1000% great! Kudos to him and to the hotel for having such a fantastic employee.
I can't recommend this place highly enough!

EEatPrayTravelLocation of hotel is very convenient for travelers who take the tourist bus from either Chungzuo, Nanning or from Detian waterfalls scenic area. The room we booked had a nice view of the fields and karst mountains. What a beautiful sight to behold indeed. During the day, it can get noisy with all the comings and goings in the village and all around but at night, it was very quiet. The rooftop terrace was very nice and not busy when we were there. Breakfast was enjoyable with steamed buns, corn, soup noodles and boiled sweet potatoes- a healthy start for a very busy day. The very nice lady in charge of breakfast offered us breakfast on our check in day (we arrived at 10:30) and made sure we had enough to eat before sending us off to explore! We had never met a B&B operator who was so caring and generous. On our check out day, even though she was still busy with guests, she rushed out to bid us a fond farewell and a safe onward trip. Front desk and cleaning team were all very friendly, always smiling and helpful. All in all, a very warm and pleasant stay at Mingshi Scenic Area.
ゲゲストI would absolutely recommend this place, the owners were so nice, it was clean, and the view was stunning.
Service: If you contact them up front, they will also come to pick you up from the parking lot, and also bring you back to the parking lot the day you leave. I was also able to try on some traditional minority clothes and take photos from the hotel balcony which was great.
Room: I booked a room with a view. Having breakfast on the balcony while enjoying the view of the rice terraces was so relaxing and nice. The room was spacious, nicely decorated and I found everything to be very clean.
Location: Very convenient. Not too far from the road so luggage doesn't need to be carried far, and you can reach the Seven Stars and a Moon viewing platform (七星伴月观景台) , as well as the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewing platform (九龙五虎观景台) within 20-30 minutes on foot (if you're used to climbing stairs, otherwise it might take a little longer).
The views from both places were also truly amazing and I recommend going at sunrise or sunset too.
Overall, an amazing stay!

Qinzhou Haijiao No. 7 Hotel (Sanniangwan Branch)
Seaview Double Room double bed
Furnishings fairly new and light, giving a friendly impression.
View of street, trees and sea further on.
Nice hot water!
Bed lights did not work.
The glass wall next to the basin, shelf above it and tap, was quite dirty 😱. I cleaned it while the host fixed the lights.
Soap holder in shower and shower glass door also very dirty.
No shower mat, asked for another towel.
Sheet was torn. Rest of bedding clean. No extra blanket or duvet.
Air-conditioning making noise so switched it off.
No tea.
Hairdryer not at mirror.
Hotel:
We are just a very ordinary hotel here! There are not many facilities. Sorry.
There are good hotels at the entrance of the scenic spot. I can take you there.
Marna:
These issues have nothing to do with a small or big hotel!
Actually at a small hotel it should be better as there are not so many staff nor rooms to manage and should there be more time to give attention to cleanliness and condition of bedding.
