Right opposite Two Rivers and Four Lakes, Guilin Rong Lake Aroma Tea House, formerly Jing Guan Ming Lou Museum Hotel, is located in the city centre. It features collections of ancient Chinese antiques, modern art galleries, a Chinese-style courtyard and accommodation with free wired internet access.

If you are looking to enjoy what Guilin has to offer, do not hesitate to book this hotel. Everything was excellent, and I was made to feel very welcome. The receptionist "Juuga(?)" was most polite, kind hearted and helpful; sending me various locations of spots to go (pagodas, flute reed cave, night markets, famous goose restaurant, lakes / elephant trunk hill) and helping me set up the Yangshuo cruise tour. I would not have enjoyed Guilin as much as I did had I not come to this hotel - I would've been clueless. I also have an extremely cut figure at the moment and am on a ketogenic diet, they prepared breakfasts for me as well to meet my needs, which was included in the price. The room was beautiful, cosy and warm.

Right opposite the iconic Elephant Trunk Hill, Jolie Vue Boutique Hotel Guilin(Golden Oriole Hotel Guilin) is located by the picturesque Li River. WiFi access is available in the entire property.

Guests can reach the Two Rivers Fours Lakes Cruise Terminal in 5 minutes' walk. The famous Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas and the lively Zhengyang Pedestrian Street are both a 10-minute walk away. Shangshui Delicacy Street is a 7 minutes' walk away. Guilin Bus Station is a 5-minute drive away. It takes 40 minutes‘ drive to Guilin Liangjiang International airport.

Pleasantly surprised that Jolie Vue Boutique Hotel was clean and modern in literally the middle of the city right on the river and a block away from the pedestrian walking street. Hotel staff were kind and helpful. Agree that there’s no need to go into Elephant trunk hill park because you get a great view from the hotel rooftop eating breakfast. Exceeded our expectations!

    The view from the room was amazing. The location directly at the lake is beautiful and in the night the colorful lights are really beautiful. The breakfast was compared with the other breakfast. We had quite good don’t expect a five star European or an Arabic breakfast. We don’t know why the comments on booking are so ambitious. We can only recommend this hotel and we have been staying in many hotels in China and all over the world.

    Location was great, just facing the river, and close to a pedestrian street, with lots of restaurants and food options. Our room's view was stoning! And the room was comfortable and modern. The front desk team was outstanding, very helpful, and helped us with a minor issue we had at this trip. I highly recommend this hotel!

    The location is very quiet and relaxing. The hotel is located in a cute little village, walking distance from the reed flute caves and there are many options for nice walks along the river. The hotel is very beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly. We also did a tour organised by the hotel staff and it was superb.

    The receptionists ( 2 young ladies ) were absolutely delightful. They tried to make our stay comfortable and gave us invaluable information. The only disappointment was that we could not get the 4 star VIP boat seats for the day we wanted, but they made sure that we did get the tickets for the next day!

    Superb hosts! The whole team treat us as friends - they are responsive, caring, and always thinking from our shoes. Spacious room, decent design, and comfortable bedding. Bathtub is the highlight. Excellent breakfast - the best Guilin noodles with fresh fruits and juices every morning. Wellness guide - they recommended and brought us to nice cafe and great bath places.

    Amazing hospitality, great host (doesn‘t speak English but very accustomed to dealing with foreigners), booked us a didi to town and good deals for tours, washed our laundry for free, gave us watermelon to cool down after hot days - more of a guesthouse feeling than luxury hotel! we really liked it!

    The Spa was outstanding! Great massage from Carol and Kelly! The outdoor pool was also a lovely place to spend the afternoon. The downside- you couldn't sit directly at the pool as there was a large wall surrounding the whole perimeter.
