桂林和舍度假酒店

Very tranquil location by the lake, great break from the stress of the city. Can go hiking up the mountain or biking along the river. Hotel will lend the bike for free. Warm and accommodating staff. Best to get a lake view room. Classic decor. Rooms are clean too. Three floors no elevator. While the hotel has a picturesque lakeside restaurant that serves Chinese and some Western food for lunch and dinner, there're a lack of shops and restaurants in the area. Guests will have to go to the city centre, which is about a 20-min car ride. Overall pleasant experience. Had suggested adding a fridge in the room and a convenience store. Will recommend and return.

Great boutique hotel near the flute caves. Its about a 20 RMB taxi ride to the downtown so not that bad. The room was clean and service great. The staff was extremely nice and helpful except their travel agent/concierge who tried to sell us on extra un-needed services. There are a ton of travel agents in town so we booked with one of them. They have a car service that will pick you up at the airport for 100 RMB which after checking is cheaper then didi and taxi. Our room was nice with a huge tub and amazing view. The only recommendation is to get one on the second level because the first is on a pathway. Not a deal breaker but wanted to note. If you are looking for a nice hotel near but not in the city this is it.
