Guilin Hotels with Gym

Amazing hotel, I guess it has been renovated recently . The room is magnetic, and the staff can speak English quite well . Swimming pool, jacuzzis (3 of them), sauna and steam room, excellent gym with table tennis 🏓 equipments makes this property and excellent place to stay. Breakfast was excellent as I am a huge fan of Chinese food, not much of western food, but there are kids station, bread, coffee (good one) , sausage and bacon, and several other options of pastries such as croissants and danish. Thanks XiaoWu小伍 for the amazing service guiding us around the rooftop, taking pictures of us, and giving assistance providing all the important information on how to enjoy the hotel facilities . the only bad thing is the costumers , a huge amount of them smoke everywhere although there are signs saying the whole property is forbidden to smoke. The hotel should remove the ashtrays in front of the elevators . Unfortunately it is a problem in China when you go to hotels and makes very unpleasant the shared ventilation bringing smoking smell into other people’s room.

We spent 2 nights at Sheraton hotel in Guilin. The hotel is located very centrally in walking distance to most major tourist attractions and close to Guilin railway station. The staff was very attentive and absolutely accomodating for all of our wishes making our experience very memorable. The interior design of the hotel is well thought out and gives it a simple but elegant touch. The facilities include small swimming pool which we couldn't try due to the weather situation. The gym consisted of a handful of cardio treadmills and machines for resistance training from Life Fitness with an area in the corner with dumbells and foam rollers, yoga mats. The changing room came with a sauna. We can recommend the breakfast buffet which is a mix of Western breakfast and local specialties from Guilin. Out of the available package options we really enjoyed the photo shoot where they provide makeup and clothes(classy/elegant and Guilin traditional) to capture the amazing moments from the trip.

I picked this hotel because his location is face directly to the elephant mountain. The service and facilities are excellent but the breakfast is kind of simple. According to the price, they should add more choices for breakfast. The staff are trying to do a good job, I saw they have a training class for English. However, details need to do care. For example, a guy in the breakfast restaurant who coughing all the time but never cover his mouth. I stayed for 5 nights, I saw him every time. For them, they don't realize that is a problem.

A pleasant stay overall - The staffs are friendly and helpful. You can even notice that they are very attentive to their guest. It is great that this hotel does not allow smoking inside their facility (allowed outdoors only). Their gym is embarrassing but other than that, everything else seems nice. One thing that I am very disappointed about is that the photos of the Cozy Room (King Bed) has a river view. However, we did not have that. We had a full view of the buildings and streets instead.

This hotel was in the heart of the most famous area in Guilin across from Guilin Central Square. There are many restaurants and a thriving Night Market with food street vendors. We were in Hongkong last week and went to the Temple Street Market. This area is superior in every aspect. Better food and better souvenirs and a more vibrant atmosphere. It was also walking distance from Solitary Beauty Peak which we stumbled upon. It is a 5A cultural attraction with artifacts and history going back to the Ming Dynasty.

My first impression of Shangri La Guilin is that many staff speak English proficiently or at least the basics that are required for their job. I arrived an hour and a half before the check in time but they promptly checked me into my room without any long wait. My luggage was taken to my room by a bell boy whose English was even better than the front of the house. My initial thoughts of the room was that it was quite old fashioned and the interior design & amenities were dated in comparison to most 5 star hotels. The view however was exceptional. I could clearly see the garden, river and mountains. After my first night I was woken by some loud music. Though the staff tried to tell the dancers that playing the music was disruptive to their guests, they continued to play it which further frustrated me. I informed the guest manager Edward who was very helpful in rectifying this. He upgraded me into a much nicer room that he ensured me should be quieter. They also gave me complimentary fruits in the room which added to the nice gesture. This is exactly the kind of quality of service that earns them a 5 star rating. Carl at the front desk was also very competent and was very helpful when I had to pay for something through wechat. The room I came with was a package deal that included breakfast, spa voucher, photoshoot and club privileges. It was worth the extra cost as the all inclusive club buffet during happy hour was filling and tasty (photo attached). Breakfast was a Chinese buffet with a fusion of western basics such as cereal, toast and bakery items. If you have the time, I would highly recommend seeing Kelly (English name) for a ”signature Asian” massage at the spa. She applied the perfect pressure for me and was very kind. The photoshoot was organised through wechat and included 6 photos. The photographer was lovely and the final photos made special memories of my time in China. Suggestions for improvement: several items in the room are in need of repair or replacement eg. old hair dryer that lightly blows air (useless), flickering lights when you turn it on and the phones. I also think if they were to refurbish the pools outside then the place would appear less worn down. Overall, the service and reputation is what made this stay worth it. I look forward to staying at Shangri La again

We stayed here for 1 night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was clean, big and spacious, and did not smell of smoke. It was quiet through the night. I loved the design of the hotel room, the light blue theme with the wood, and the tea set in the room was a nice addition. There are lots of lights to choose from in the room to create the perfect ambience. We had to leave the hotel at 7am so couldn’t enjoy the buffet breakfast, but the hotel kindly arranged a packed breakfast for us which consisted of bread, boiled eggs, bananas, sweet potato, sweetcorn and milk. The location of the hotel is super convenient and given how close it is to the main streets, we were surprised how quiet the room is! The shampoo and shower gel also smelt sooo nice and luxurious.

If you are looking for confusion and stress this hotel is not for you . We were enveloped at our entrance by fusion music and environments of ancient rural China. The possibility to enjoy a terrace overlooking the Li River, next to the village of real fishermen. The jagged mountains of the region while drinking coffee in the morning will transport you to a lost China. Fantastic breakfast and very comfortable rooms. On the front of the hotel a walking area keeping you aside from traffic Will bring you to the ancient Town of Daxu , a small Village beside. The restorant on River level Will complete the offer for your staying. The rest is by photos attached . Strictly raccomanded if you wanna relax.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel from the beginning. When I arrived the staff were super helpful and polite from the minute I stepped out of my taxi. The staff at the front desk were very polite and efficient and the receptionist also upgraded my room for a room with a better view. They could barely speak English but went out of their way to use a translator to ensure that I understood what was going on. When I got to my room, it was beautiful and matched the theme of the hotel which is a fusion af antique and modern. When the receptionist entered my room, he instantly got a strong cigarette smoke smell and immediately offered to get it fixed. The buffet dinning area was well set up and offered a wide array of dishes, drinks, pastries and desserts. I ate dinner which was an added cost of 99rmb which is reasonable considering the huge variety of food that was offered. The breakfast was just as good as it also had a huge selection of food. The location of the hotel was great as it was very close to downtown and the surrounding area was lovely to go walking. The hotel also offered in house entertainment every day which was a huge plus. I'm very pleased with my stay at the Grand Bravo.

The parent-child room is big enough, with some dolls, picture books, and tents for children to play with. The children had a lot of fun! I suggest that the hotel replace those towels, which are old and yellow and look distressing. After all, the hotel has been open for so long, and it is understandable that the hardware is a little old, but other details should be improved.
