Huge clean room with comfortable double bed. Large bathroom with a hot shower with high water pressure. They even let us check out late (4pm) so that my wife, who was feeling ill at the time, could stay in the room until our train left that evening. All in all I couldn't fault it on anything.

I stayed here a very short time: came from Yangshuo at night, and left at 6 AM to the airport. I reserved a private ensuite room. It was nice, modern, clean and spacious. However, I specifically asked - on email - for a quiet room, but the one I got was actually close to some kind of a bar and... More

Stayed in Guilin for 3 nights in a 6-bed bedroom. First and foremost, the staff are super friendly and very keen to help guests. Besides, I would say that they don't force you to book trips which is usually the case in hostels. Also, the staff are english-speaking and willing to negotiate prices when it comes to tour guides etc.... More

Our stay in Guilin @ Riverside Hostel was excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The locations is very good; close to the city centre and next to the river. Besides, the services they offer are very convenient: very interesting tours, ticket service, laundery service, free wifi, etc.

Strongly recommend this hostel. It is excellent value and the rooms are large and clean. Our bathroom was a tad basic and in need of refurbishment but all the facilities were there and for £11 per night...... The location is lovely and quiet although very central. Breakfast on the patio, overlooking a tributary of the nearby Li River was delightful.... More

We spend 3 nights in Guilin. The hostel is really good. Service is excellent and rooms are clean and wide. I recommend this hostel for everyone but, actually, Guilin city is not as nice as we expected. Maybe should be better expend a little less time in Guilin and move to Yangshuo where there are the most beautiful landscapes in... More

The staff were fantastic. The room was clean and the bed quite comfy if you like hard beds. The bathroom was clean and the shower fantastic. The breakfasts were ok except for cold hard fried eggs but the friendliness of the staff made up for it.

We stayed here before and after we went to Yangshuo. The first private room was really really nice. Clean, cosy, comfi. But the second room was dirty, old and not like the other one. You should be prepared to have a small distance to the ''downtown'', where the most western restaurents are placed. You need to go for around 15... More
