Ronghu Lake Hotel

My Husband and I really enjoyed staying here. This Hotel is very close to everything and there is a Beautiful lake that you can walk around or see in a boat ride . We did both while there. Thank you to the awesome Bell Boy who took our bags up to our lovely room and even if this was his job he was awesome. The Ronghu Hotel seems to be an older one but we enjoyed everything one thing we would like to point out is that it was hard for us as we are English speaking and No One at the Hotel could actually speak any English with us. We did however manage to get around anyway as we have a wonderful Chinese Friend who lives in the City that the Hotel is situated in and does speak English and couldn't do enough to help us in every way day and night in getting around the Beautiful City.. Thank you again for Looking after us.

I had room 9525 on the fifth floor, at the end of the corridor. The room overall was facing the rear, so it was quiet. There was no mini bar, which a four star hotel generally has. No english stations on TV. No hand lotion. The shower was in bathtub, and showerhead in very awkward low position, and since no shower curtain, water ended up on floor. Breakfast had no cereal or orange juice and limited fruit & vegetables. No brewed or ground coffee. The room lighting was okay. The room had no central heat, so I requested an electric heater which made the temp comfortable. Overall i would return to the Ronghu of they take care of the above concerns.

In a city as big as Guilin this hotel and location has as lot to offer. Food, including the smorgasbord, was really nice, fresh, with a vast choice for all tastes. Food could be ordered elsewhere if needed eg coffee bar. Location right on the lake: walk out the back and stroll around the gorgeous lake at all hours, at night with the pagodas lit up, stunning. Short distance by taxi to the caves that are mind blowing. Used this as a base before doing the trip on the Li River to Yangshuo. A totally mind blowing experience.
