I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while a bit tired and dated, were clean and comfortable. The sound of horns and diesel engines from the river was a constant background noise, but since I didn't spend much time in the room during the day, it was manageable. The hotel staff were very friendly and always had a smile, but their English skills were quite basic.

The dining experience was a mix of Chinese and Western food, but the quality was subpar with stale pastries and cold eggs. It was buffet-style, and the staff could improve in their service.

The hotel may not be the most luxurious, but it offers a comfortable stay with beautiful river views from the rooms. The location is excellent with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby, and the Li River just a stroll away. However, the service can be lacking, especially in communication skills and payment issues.

Rooms

The rooms were basic 3-star rooms, not lavish but comfortable. The hard Chinese mattresses may not be for everyone, but I found them fine. The big bay window overlooking the river was simply beautiful.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms, although showing their age a bit, were plain and comfy, and that big bay window with views of the river was just beautiful. However, being on the unrenovated floor meant we heard the sound of horns and diesel engines all day and night. The service was hit and miss, some staff were very helpful while others struggled with English. The location was fantastic, right in front of the river with stunning views, although a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was good with a bit of a crowd in the mornings, and the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room, although a bit on the dark side, was very big, clean, and comfortable. However, the noise from the river could be heard all day and night. The service was a mixed bag; they had some issues with the credit card machine but the room maid was particularly friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, right by the river with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was subpar, with stale pastries and cold eggs. The facilities were average.

I couldn't have asked for a better location! Being right by the Li River with its beautiful pagodas and local activities was a dream. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, though the old-style TV was a bit odd. The service was a mixed bag, with some language barriers, but the staff were efficient and hospitable. Dining was decent, especially the fresh cooked eggs station, but it could get crowded. The facilities were good overall, offering a comfortable stay.
