Riverview Hotel

Kamar oke. Tidak ada lift. Untung ada yang bisa membantu membawakan koper. Ruang makan ada di lantai bawah, sangat nyaman. Tapi Anda harus memberi tahu meja depan terlebih dahulu untuk memesan meja. Suara isolasinya terlalu buruk. Mulai bertiup pada pukul enam dan mulai bertiup di luar pada pukul tujuh. Ada orang-orang yang berjalan, dan suara orang-orang yang berbicara di luar terdengar jelas pada pukul delapan atau sembilan. Jika saya tidur nyenyak, saya akan benar-benar meledak. Sayang sekali balkonnya terbuang percuma.

Lokasi luar biasa, di depan Sungai Li dan sangat dekat dengan jalan pejalan kaki, di tengah Kota Yangshou namun tanpa kebisingan kota. Kamar-kamarnya didekorasi dengan indah! Sarapannya enak!

Nice room and clean. Strange smell of outhouse deodorizer in the hotel but I smelled it other times in the town so it may be in the septic system for the area. Exceptionally friendly staff.

The staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. The restaurant on the ground floor is a very popular place. Hotel guests have seating priorities and discounts. We also received a parting gift of their special blended tea.

The hotel's in a great spot and the staff are really nice. Rooms have good amenities but sometimes noise and bugs can bug you. Just a heads up, there's no elevator. Overall, it's a decent pick for convenience, especially if they sort out the bugs and noise.

HOW TO REACH: The local name of this hotel is “Wang Jiang” tower or building. This helps if you are traveling from Yangshuo Railway Station by taxi. I traveled with my friends – 3 families (with kids), and we are non-Chinese. Typically, several taxis are available at the exit of Yangshuo Railway station. Someone approached me who can speak English – so took a 10-seater. The cost is about RMB 20~25/person & takes about 40 minutes. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The balcony view helps, depending on which side the room is located on. I chose the front side view, which has both a river view and a mountain view. HOTEL: Although the hotel doesn’t have a lift, the staff delivered the luggage to the room. If you need help at the time of checkout, they may help. But I did it on my own at the time of check-out. It is conveniently located close to West Street (10 min walk). HOTEL-RESTAURANT: very good restaurant in 1F (vegetarian options as well!). It is very popular among the locals & we liked it too. But it gets very busy during the weekends. So, if the room is close to 1F, it will be loud till ~ 22:00. HOTEL STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to help foreigners. Many staff can speak English. In my case, YAWEN is worth mentioning, as she helped us a lot in planning our local trips. Even before arriving at the hotel, we had a plan. But our interactions with YAWEN (& her feedback) made it very convenient & time-effective for us. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: It is possible to book tickets for the Ruyi scenic spot, Silver Cave, Hot air balloon, Li-river cruise (from Yangshuo), Xinping (hot air balloon), Bus-trip to Longji Ricefields, & many more at the hotel.
