Guilin Bravo Hotel

property looks new, grand entrance, everything seemed quite fresh and shiny. staff speak little english but not a problem. Rooms were well equipped bed was very comfortable. little disappointed in the gym, several running machines and a single multifunction machine. location nice, opposite a lake, peaceful and quiet. close walking to downtown. my only concern was breakfast. The restaurant is badly laid out, designed too small for a large hotel and has these huge chairs ( completely oversized ) which make walking around the dining area almost impossible. Went for breakfast at 7;30 it was full. hardly any place to sit and was chaos. you cannot pass by another person without moving chairs to pass. the buffet was a bit sad, most people forming a queue to get eggs which was around 6 - 8 people and one egg chef. I abandoned that idea and went for coffee however they are only serving tea and coffee from a drip machine which was emptied in about 5 minutes. suddenly there was chaos in the buffet area with no tea and coffee and a long queue was disrupting the flow. the chef and multiple staff where just standing in the dining area looking around in shock and not knowing what to do. I complained that tea and coffee was not adequate for so many people and they stated to serve drinks at the table because walking around and going back and forth was like trying to find your way though a maze of chaotic people all confused and bothered by the fact that carrying a plate of food was almost impossible. I would say the breakfast was a disaster and they need to scrap the entire design and change the tables chairs and layout. also provide a fully self service tea and coffee and have more people serving fresh products like eggs.

dining room... a total nightmare
