GuYu Mountain View Hotel stands in Tieling village, 5 minutes from the "Eternal Love" natural attractions and the Yulong River — its distinctive pink, castle-style design makes the hotel a landmark in its own right. An ideal base for exploring the area without early starts or worrying about transport.
The rooms are done out in natural wood tones and white, with thoughtful details: different types of pillows, branded umbrellas, automatic curtain closing from a button by the bed, and a high-quality flushing system in the toilet. Family rooms have a slide for children — kids love it. There is a laundry and a clothes dryer.
Who it suits: families with children and couples who want a bright hotel, thought through down to the smallest detail, with a view of the Yangshuo mountains.
To be fair: in some rooms, especially on the upper floors, guests have noticed a strong smell — either damp or fresh renovation (possibly formaldehyde) — if you're sensitive to smells, ask for a well-aired room or check the floor. Breakfast is Chinese, without much variety — don't expect a wide choice of European dishes. Some reviews describe the staff attitude at breakfast as not the most welcoming.
