Eeril Hotel (Guilin Elephant Trunk Hill Two Rivers And Four Lakes)

Great hotel, nice, clean, modern, central location. We had a good view from the room and the room was spacious. There is a person available near reception that helps with tours. Breakfast is not very diverse but a normal mix of international and Asian cuisine. Definitely recommend this hotel.

It was nice to be upgraded to theme love room however the check in process took us 40 minutes to begin with. Upon entering the room was really hot and stuffy and after checking with its technician they said it’s centralised air conditioning and only at a later part in the evening will the temperature be turned down. Advised us to leave the hotel room for 3 hours and come back in the evening. We didn’t as we needed to rest a while and was sweating and stuffy with a tiny window to just open to allow for cooler air to come in. Returning in late evening just to bask into the room temperature of heater of 20c! It was truly truly hot! Why even turn on heater centralised conditioning??? There is no air conditioning to cool down the room such a horrible and worst hotel of our entire stay. Truly disappointed for the first night and even wanted to check out the second night but we are leaving Guilin so it was not worth the hassle. Location was on the spot however the room air conditioning is the most horrible in our entire stay and only heater was turned on. Burning sleep in the night and even burning during the day. Both was equally hot and sweaty night. Disappointed truly. Can’t even have a proper rest at this 4 star hotel. The outlook is not new it’s just inside was new probably. It’s bad not to have air conditioning and even worst when it’s central air conditioning turned to be heater mode day and night. It’s not really cold at Guilin either it’s hot there was sun. It was unpleasant stay sadly although the nice room was given on our honeymoon rest stop here.

Hotel facilities are good, new, and the room is big. Everything in the room is modern and especially the beds and pillows. Both the queen size and the double size, pillows, are very comfortable and all family members were able to sleep within 10 minutes on the beds. Location is excellent, many scenic or historical sites are within walking distance.

We stayed for one night only, the hotel is alright overall. The good thing is the room is clean and some of the rooms has good view. And I think they hotel has two sides you should be able to see either sunrise or sunset from your room. The location is right in the city center very close to the main attractions. Here are things that I didn’t like, the room design is a bit strange as they have strangely big bathroom, almost as big as the room. The flushing button on the toilet is a bit inconveniant. The building itself is very old though the hotel is newly renovated. I also didn’t like the air con design as it’s not good at cooling the room, the bed near the window feels quite hot compare to the bathroom and the other bed. Some of the galss are sound proof glass but some are not, so there is slight noise if you sleep near the window.

Very reasonably priced hotel in a great area in the centre of Guilin. As the listing says, it is only a short walk from the scenic areas. There are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance that serve the local dishes like rice noodles and oil tea. Nice Chinese breakfast and a free late night snack at the front desk every night. There is also a tourist desk at reception for booking tours. We were able to buy tickets for the Li river cruise and a shuttle bus to the Longjing rice terraces here. The staff do not speak English but with a translator it wasn’t much of an issue and they were generally helpful. The name of the hotel on the listing also isn’t the same as the actual name of the hotel. It’s actually called Eeril hotel on the sign outside and some maps list it as Huiyu hotel not Slang hotel. We found it in the end but it was a little confusing at first.

Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. We mainly used their laundry service which was excellent. There was a great variety of food for the breakfast buffet which we did enjoy.
