“Highlight of our trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Yangshuo and Magnolia Hotel was definitely the highlight of our China trip.

We stayed in the "Imperial Room" at the hotel which was a very beautiful and tastefully decorated room. The bathroom had a big, nice new hot tub as well which was a bonus. Fresh bananas were provided everyday in a fruit basket in our room which was a nice touch.

The hotel is located near the hustle and bustle of West street, making it a very convenient location, and is also literally a two minute walk to the Li River.

Across the street is a handy laundromat with very speedy service which was extremely convenient.

The staff were all very friendly and spoke excellent english. They were very helpful in helping us to organise several activities in Yangshuo.

The hotel has free wifi and there is also some computers in the lobby for internet access as well.

There is also an excellent vegetarian restaurant that is part of the hotel, definitely worth checking out as well.

Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay, better than a lot of the "5 star" establishments we stayed at around China.

“Excellent choice if you don't mind noise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

The room was very comfortable and well-furnished. The same goes for the whole hotel. The location is great, with the only drawback being its proximity to noisy bars

“Excellent location and great price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

Visited YangShuo a years or so ago with a buddy of mine and we both stayed at Magnolia for a couple of nights as recommended by our guide. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at this nicely decorated hotel. The hotel location is excellent, right next to West Street. Also, there is a laundry and lots of great restaurants nearby.

Service was good and the room were clean. Rates were very reasonable and definitely good value. Will definitely stay there again if I ever have the chance to visit.

“Too noisy!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

This is a very good, well-priced hotel - but the nightclub next door makes sleep difficult!

“Central location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The other reviewers have done a pretty accurate job of describing this hotel. Our group was here in the first week of October, China's national holiday and Yangshuo Town was swamped by hordes of domestic tourists. As a result, the surrounding streets were packed with people and the (very) nearby karaoke bars and nightclubs played extremely loud music until the wee hours, denying sleep to any who wanted it (mere silicone earplugs were no match for the pounding bass).

Of course, this is not Magnolia's fault. The rooms were quite comfortable and very clean, with staff that were extremely friendly. A nearby cafe provided a breakfast far better than typical breakfast buffets. Unfortunately, individual rooms do not have a safe, so be sure to put your passport in reception's safe.

Perhaps the hotel is quieter outside of holiday week, but once the music stops there is nothing to worry about.

Room Tip: Preferably something facing the street. The nightclubs' loud music is from across the canal.
