This place has a beautiful lounge with pool table, foozeball, TV, dining, etc. But don't be fooled! The rooms are horrible. It used to be an old hotel that was converted into a hostel, but they didn't do much renovation. So the carpet is really nasty, the TV's don't work, there's not hot water all the time, and the AC...

Room with AC and attached bathroom for 120 RMB. (Room 401). All tourists that visit Guanxi region sooner or later they will spend a night in Guilin. An international youth hostel is an easy way to book, by email, a room with an average quality. The hostel rooms were spacious and clean enough, there is a pool, a PS2, films... More

Located in a quiet corner of the city, this hostel had the feel of a budget hotel (I think it probably used to be one). The rooms were simple but spacious. It was easy walking distance to the sights around the city and about a 30 min walk to the bus/train station. We booked transport to the airport through them.... More

Near the city center and the river...the location is excellent. Peaceful area. The rooms are comfortable and reasonable with the price. You won't find a luxury hostel, but you have all you need. The staff is helpful and they offered us some typical products during the stay! We recommend it!

Location: good location, within close walking distance to the city centre. Right across the road from the river. Taxi drivers know how to get there with no problems. Room: large room with beautiful furniture (if you like natural wooden-style). Air conditioner works well! Large bathroom, so while there is no actual shower recess, you're not showering over the toilet either.... More

Guilin This Old Place is a welcome newcomer. Veterans of its sister backpackers in Xingping have revamped an existing hotel into a backpacker-friendly spot that takes the good things from Chinese hotels and adds a streetside terrace opposite a lake and garden, a clean, stylish lounge area with up to date movies, computer, pool table, dining area and bar, and...

We felt very much at home at 'This Old Place'. The room was comfortable and the location was very convenient. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and full of advice for travel in the area and further afield. We would definitely return to 'This Old Place' if we make it back to Guilin again in the future.
