The room also has a large walk-in closet and a small lounge area. The standard TV, safe, and fridge in the room are well-kept, and everything in the room is complimentary, including soaps and shampoos. The drinks in the fridge and fruit bowls are restocked every day, including sodas, orange juice, beer, and water.

The staff are very polite and friendly. Most of them have good English, and they go out of their way to ensure guests are comfortable and happy during their stay.

The breakfast buffet is good, with choices of a full English breakfast, pastries, Asian breakfast, cereals, and fruits. Guests also have the option of enjoying afternoon tea in the restaurant, which is very nice.

The location is excellent, very close to all the tourist attractions in and around Guilin. It is also very quiet, and once in the room, you can't hear anything from outside, even though the hotel is very close to a busy road, the river, and the two pagodas.

Some guests have expressed concerns about the pool on the top floor, which is described as a large jacuzzi hot tub that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months.
