Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also beautifully decorated. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very accommodating and friendly. The location was just perfect for a peaceful and relaxing experience, surrounded by stunning nature. The dining options were very good, and the facilities added great value to my stay.
Staying at this hotel was an incredible experience. The rooms were large and nice, with a view of the river that was just amazing, making it a beautiful place to chill out and relax. They were definitely worth the money, especially with a king-size bed in one room and a full-size bunk bed with a twin above in another room. The service was exceptional, catering to our family of five, including three teenagers, and happily arranging everything we needed. The location inside an environmentally-protected area was excellent for those looking to keep away from the crowds, right next to the river.
The hotel is like paradise on earth, located near the river with a view on the mountains. The rooms were warm throughout the night with the A/C temperature set at 16 degrees but a bit poorly lit for my taste. The service was outstanding with mostly women who seemed to work wonderfully well together as a team. The location is fantastic if you are looking for peaceful beautiful surroundings directly on the Yulong River. The dining experience was excellent with sets and a la carte rather than a buffet. The facilities were top-notch, with efficient service and an authentic feel.
I had a mixed stay at the hotel. The rooms offer a fantastic riverside terrace with breathtaking views, but they are on the smaller side and could use some updates. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The location is stunning, right by the river with picturesque mountain views, but there were some issues with flood conditions. Dining with river and mountain views was a highlight, though with limited options. Facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms are not only comfortable, but they also offer small patios with beautiful views, making the stay highly recommendable. The decor is so tasteful; it truly feels like paradise. However, there was a slight issue with a sewer smell.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic, with nothing to complain about in terms of bedding or bathroom quality. They were definitely worth the money, offering stunning views of the Yulong River and the passing rafts. One room had a king-size bed, while the other room featured a full-size bunk bed with a twin above it.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but they are in desperate need of renovation. While some rooms did offer a balcony, the view of the river was quite limited. On the bright side, the service was excellent, with staff always going out of their way to assist. The location inside an environmentally-protected area was exceptional, offering a unique and peaceful setting. The dining options were good, but a bit limited. Overall, a place with potential but could use some updates.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although charming with lots of wood furniture, were not very spacious and had a noticeable sewer smell. On the bright side, our room had a great view and a lovely 4-poster bed. The service was outstanding, with the staff being warm and welcoming, speaking excellent English, and always ready to assist. The location was simply breathtaking, right on the river bank with stunning mountain views, amidst an oasis of tranquility and beauty. However, the dining options were not included and a bit limited. Overall, a memorable but slightly inconsistent stay.
