Yangshuo Yikesu Hotel (Yulonghe Shanshui Avenue Branch)

This is a homely, family-run hostel with very personalised service. The location is slightly out of town as we preferred peace and quiet. It’s also nearer to the Ten Mile Gallery and the Impressions show. West street is just a ten minute taxi ride away. The room is beautifully appointed with even a washer cum dryer inside. We were upgraded to a family room as two old folks in our group found it difficult to climb up the stairs to the 4th floor. The staff will help with luggage as there is no lift. The only minor imperfection is that the shower is only half separated from the bathroom and water tends to run out across the entire toilet due to the powerful shower. The family room is one of the rare places offering 4-pax accommodation in China. They even provide a tent, kids toilet seat and kid stool in the bathroom, and all sharp corners are protected with soft covers. It’s perfect for families with young children and can comfortably sleep two adults and three kids. Food wise, I highly recommend ordering the food in-house. The best meals we had in Yangshuo were cooked by the boss himself at a very reasonable price. Do note that meals need to be ordered at least two hours in advance as they purchase ingredients and cook to order, so do let them know earlier if you plan to have a meal upon arrival. Service is impeccable and the lady boss is the loveliest host we’ve had in our entire trip across Guangxi, so kind and friendly and helpful with all sorts of travel tips around Yangshuo. Thank you very much and we hope to come again.

We had such a great time at this hotel, the owners couple are the sweetest and so helpful with everything. They even taught us how to make beer fish one night in their kitchen! The rooms are clean and the view is amazing, I would definitely stay here again 😊
