I stayed in the hotel for 3 days in 2 different rooms. In both rooms, it was very clean. However, the 1st room had spoilt air-conditioning and shower facilities. I was then switched to another room. The aircon was working in this room. However, the shower head was not very good as the water came pouring out like a tap!

Stayed 5 nights then later a further 3 nights. Found the staff were eager to help. Enough English to aid my inquiries. Could not fault the service. The food is very Chinese but thats what you come to China to experience. Well done to management and staff. I will stay again

Contrary to the disparaging remarks I have read here, my stay for 9 nights could not have been better. I also arrived late at night, and I also had booked online using a credit card. I produced a copy of my booking, and the staff immediately confirmed that all was ok. I found my room (economy rate) to be above average, with a partial view of the river. Everything was clean, and everything worked perfectly.
As for the restaurant. It was HUGE !!!! Now, I'm Australian, and accustomed to western food, but having travelled a bit, I learn to adapt to local cuisines. I found the FREE breakfast (no-one else seems to mention that fact !!), was more than adequate. with plenty to choose from, including many plates of fresh fruit.
The hotel service? Exceptionally good. Wherever I went, the staff was always smiling, and willing to help (even late at night). You know, it does help if you put on a friendly face too. And remember, we are visitors to their country. Pity more travellers don't appreciate that.
I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Nanning.
By the way, my visit was in May, 2006, not 2009, but this site did not allow me to go back beyond 2009.
