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

The riverside hostel is well located, not far from the bus and train stations and actually next to the river. Having breakfast on the terrace was lovely. I went for a "couples" en-suite room (travelling alone) and wasn't disappointed for the price. Its verging on a hotel in terms of layout. Only negatives would be a slightly in-need-of-a-clean shower curtain... More

The description in the latest Rough Guide is correct for this hostel; it's like a Bed and Breakfast in Europe. Staff are friendly and have good knowledge of the local area too. If you stay in the winter expect low prices on rooms and trips. I recommend the Li River cruise and a visit to the rice terraces in Ping... More
