Riverview Hotel

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.

Simply the best place to stay in Yangshou for food and a boat ride to Guilin

Our room was lovely on the 3rd floor with a lovely view of the mountains of Yangshou . Very spacious, clean and got clean daily . Provided with everything needed . The hotel location was the best ! In front of the the river a block away from the Main Street , first floor had a restaurant, you could order on your room and reception tell you to come down when your table was ready . All personal was friendly and helpful. We book some tours with them too all totally worth it ! We had a great time we will definitely stay again .

Perfect location, immediately at the river, West Street just a few meters away. Good restaurant, which is always very busy in the evening, nice café next to the hotel. Rooms a bit loud, you hear other guests and the street can be a bit loud too but there are also rooms to the back but I prefered the street side. I did not care the busy road. In the night it became quiet. The view on the river is hidden by the old trees but I likes it and would go there again.

Staff was very helpful and very well trained. They treated us very well, great customer service. The room smelled a bit, I think this is because the rooms are above their hotel kitchen which has poor ventilation so the food smell comes into the room.

Perfect hotel

A great location with friendly and helpful staff, this hotel is good value. It has a very good restaurant with a good breakfast available to purchase. The amenities are also very good.

VERY RECOMMENDED! Everything was amazing since day 1. Great service from each member of the staff, the location is very convenient to get everywhere.
