Great place in a little outside village, but not too far away to explore all Guilin sites. Perfect to do by electric scooter. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and arranges anything you need. The offered tours are great, as well, so you can see a lot in a short amount of time. If you want to visit Guilin, you have to stay in the Secret Courtyard Hotel!

Excellent stay with helpful hosts

Lovely hotel in a cute village area. The staff are really helpful and friendly with a free laundry service that really helped! Breakfast was basic but lovely and the room was comfortable. It is worth noting that the area here in Guilin is not the area that you see all the bamboo boats etc and famous photos - this is further south in Yangshuo and you can do day trips from the hotel if you don’t want to stay down there.

If you are looking for amenities such as swimming pool, spa, and gym, then this hotel may not work for you. This hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood across from the busy center city, which is just a quick 15-20 minutes ride. Front staff is very helpful.

Nice, quiet option for groups of family or friends

Very enjoyable stay in a quiet village about 5km from downtown Guilin situated close to the famous Reed Flute Cave and an easy 10-min taxi ride into town. The villa had four bedrooms all with ensuites so perfect for larger groups of family or friends. A couple of good restaurants in the village offering excellent food. Our host Ming was very considerate and responsive, while our guide Qing handled all the tour arrangements very well and with a minimum of fuss, including free pickup at and dropoff to the High Speed Rail Station at Guilin Xi. They were excellent actually.

This hotel was wonderful. The staff prepped a snack pack for my adventures. They were friendly and super helpful. They made an amazing Chinese breakfast (or Western) every morning with coffee and an amazing fruit platter. The Guilin noodles were amazing. They provided transportation to and from the train station, which was nice. There was a beautiful view of sunset outside my window, a tea service, and fresh fruit and water provided always. There was no bathtub but I loved my stay. I would definately stay again. And the hotel is surrounded by a lovely shopping area and restaurants and street food. Plus a path, "covered bridge" and local attractions. I enjoyed it.

中国語も英語も話せない日本人女性1名で2泊利用しました。結論から言うと、安全で清潔でアットホームな雰囲気の良いホテルでした。 空港へ送迎も利用できると記載がありましたが、実際には150元と高い金額がかかるので自分でタクシーを呼んだ方が良いです。近くに駅はなさそうでした。 スタッフの方々が優しく気さくでした。英語か中国語でしか会話できませんが、翻訳アプリとジェスチャーで十分コミュニケーションがとれます。チェックイン前に困ったことがあっても、ホテルの電話番号宛に日本語でSMSのやり取りができました。私以外は全員欧米のお客さんでした。 部屋は清潔にされていましたが、蚊と蛾が数匹入って来ます。何も伝えないと自動的に外出中にタオルの交換されます。アメニティーは揃っていましたが私は使っていないので使い心地はわかりません。部屋着としてバスローブが置いてありますが、着心地は微妙なので自分で用意することをお勧めします。 部屋に冷蔵庫がないので注意してください。ペットボトルの水はあります。シャワーはシャワーヘッドを固定する部分が壊れて使えなかったこと以外は問題なかったです。 繁華街から少し離れたこのホテルに決めた理由が"部屋からの景色が良さそうだから"だったのですが、悪くはないものの目の前が駐車場で少し残念でした。ツインで予約しましたが、チェックインの時に無料でダブルの部屋にアップグレードしてくれました。景色が良い方にして欲しいと伝えるとダブルの部屋になりました。 通常朝ごはんは7:30からで、米粉かパンか選べます。ツアーの出発時間の都合でお願いしたら時間を早めることも、テイクアウトにも対応してくれました(この場合パンになります)。朝ごはんを食べる場所にはバーカウンターがあり、夜に食事やお酒を楽しむこともできます。 周辺は街灯が少なく歩いて回る場所はありません。壁が薄いのか廊下の話し声は聞こえますが、ホテル周辺が何もなく静かなことと、利用客が多くなかったことからあまり気にならず過ごせました。また機会があったら利用したいです。

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel, et nous tenons tout particulièrement à remercier notre hôte qui a été absolument adorable, d’une gentillesse et d’une attention rare. Malgré une météo capricieuse, il a su nous proposer une excursion magnifique, parfaitement adaptée aux conditions. Grâce à lui, nous avons pu découvrir des endroits superbes que nous n’aurions jamais trouvés seuls. Un vrai sens de l’accueil et du service ! La vue de notre chambre était tout simplement magnifique et magique ! Le petit déjeuner était très copieux et délicieux. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter. C’était magique
