“Good hotel for Yanshuo city stay”

Nice hotel, but location is next to the West street, so it can get real noisy in the evening. Also breakfast can be a bit more diverse. The rooms are good as was the service- staff was quite helpful on more then one occasions. Thai restaurant on the 2nd floor as closed, only opened if you book it, … more

“Great location shame about the lack of guest service and noise”

The hotel is well appointed and our room was well equipped and nicely decorated. We had a small terrace which was nice to sit out early evening. We should have had 2 nights here but due to a flight change only had one so we didn’t manage to try breakfast and didn’t eat in the hotel. “Breakfast” wa… more

The hotel is well appointed and our room was well equipped and nicely decorated. We had a small terrace which was nice to sit out early evening. We should have had 2 nights here but due to a flight change only had one so we didn’t manage to try breakfast and didn’t eat in the hotel. “Breakfast” was a challenge as we asked our guide to ask for an early breakfast which was a no can do. She negotiated a breakfast box (given we had paid for full breakfast didn’t think this was unreasonable) and to save waste (as no desire to eat cold eggs and plain bread which was being offered) we asked just for fruit and yoghurt. Told no fruit other than a banana! Our lovely guide pointed out they clearly did have other fruit given it would be served at breakfast shortly after we left so in the end we did get melon, dragon fruit and a banana with yoghurt (oh and the eggs and a yellow croissant but we gifted those to the driver !). Likewise no help when we asked for fresh milk for a coffee in our room- “we don’t have milk”. As others have noted the hotel has a great location but with that comes a lot of noise and we had very loud music from the bar on the lower level of the centre blasting in the room until after 10. Then it was much quieter. In the end not so disappointed we missed a night here and an extra one in Lijiang.

“Great location but very noisy”

The room was beautiful and the central location within town was convenient - nearby shops park restaurants and supermarket. Breakfast was good. Laundry was good.

The room was beautiful and the central location within town was convenient - nearby shops park restaurants and supermarket. Breakfast was good. Laundry was good. However nearby West Street was very loud and noise prevented sleep until after1030 pm. In am there were loud jackhammers. We asked for and received earplugs. Ask for room in a section facing away from West Street. Future soundproofing of rooms in the far wing would be helpful for tired jet lagged travelers . Wi-Fi was slow.

“Good Hotel, good location but for a 5 star International Hotel needs work”

There are many good things about the Amari. The design of the hotel is lovely, rooms are carefully laid out with a Thai aesthetic and they are spacious. The location of the hotel is excellent near West street but it can be a bit noisy. Where the hotel starts to lose some points is in its staff. Re… more

There are many good things about the Amari. The design of the hotel is lovely, rooms are carefully laid out with a Thai aesthetic and they are spacious. The location of the hotel is excellent near West street but it can be a bit noisy. Where the hotel starts to lose some points is in its staff. Reception staff are friendly but this is a 5 star International hotel and so you would expect a) Chinese b) Thai and c) English given the clientele - we saw numerous visitors struggling with staff with limited language and the need to use google translate.

“Satisfactory.”

Stayed at the Amari Yangshuo for just two nights at the end of a Li River cruise.

Stayed at the Amari Yangshuo for just two nights at the end of a Li River cruise. Check in was fine but there are only two reception stations and a small lobby so would not want to arrive with a coach load of other tourists. Located virtually in the main town there is really good access to shops, cafes, restaurants and a large supermarket. This is a bustling town which is very exciting but as other reviewers have remarked loud music and people noise seriously invade the hotel. During our stay the nearby music did not cease until 11.00pm and street noise continued well after that time. Our Superior room was a good size with smallish double bed, easy chair, coffee table and short sofa. Entire room was very clean but there are a lot of mirrors and the lighting is dim. Complimentary water, mini bar, fridge, kettle, safe and tea/coffee. A small area with vanity unit and basin leads to the wet room/bathroom and there is a plentiful supply of toiletries and towelling. Bath robes were provided but they were extremely small. The WC cubicle is adjacent to the wet room. Adequate hanging and storage space for our short stay with an umbrella, iron and ironing board. Enjoyed breakfast in a dining room with pleasant views of the natural surroundings with a chef on station and a good variety of Asian and Western food. Service was hospitable and efficient. There is an outside terrace when weather permits. Did not get a chance to use the fitness centre in the hotel and our stay was perfectly satisfactory but you do need to cope with the nightlife. If time allows take a stroll in the nearby park and if you can venture further afield find The Secret Garden Hotel where we had a superb lunch in tranquil surroundings. In Yangshuo eat at Lucys Cafe and Bar which was recommended by our guide and was a great small family run enterprise. There is no shortage of eating places in this busy town and there are a few establishments serving more western choices. In summary if you like hustle and bustle a great place to experience.
