Eden Inn offers a European standard of Service and Cleanliness.

English, French, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken. We pride ourselves in the highest standard of Cleanliness and Value for Money in the whole Yangshuo area.

Yangshuo Eden Inn is an excellent place to explore the natural beauty of Yangshuo. Eric and Sammie helped arrange pick up/drop off at the train station, which allowed for seamless and easy transfer. In Yangshuo they gave me excellent recommendations for biking along the Yulong River and local niche hiking spots. Every night they also took me out for dinner to eat delicious local Guilin cuisine. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had plenty of amenities. The communal area had a bar, games, and relaxing spots to unwind after a full day of exploring. They were also kind enough to give me snacks for my travels to my next destination. If you come to Yangshuo, please consider staying here - you won't regret it!

Only steps from Xingping Bus Terminal, Hi Grey Hostel offers accommodation centrally located in Xingping Ancient Town, 50 metres from the main old street and 150 metres from Xingping Bus Station. Beautiful views of the mountain can be enjoyed on site and free WiFi is accessible throughout the entire property. Local vegetable market and the ticket office of Lijiang Bamboo Rafting is 250 metres away.

Very good location and has nice people. I can easily go to different places at Xingping. The services in the hostel are also good. I join RMB130(including all the ticket and travel fees) sunrise trip to Xianggong Mountain(相公山). The driver is a very nice young gentleman. He picked us up at around 5:30 am and bring us back to Xingping before 9 am. I recommend you all join it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A peaceful, relaxing sanctuary after a day doing activities or in the noisy town. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. They patiently discussed many options with us and helped book tickets and activities. The rooms are great for families, we were upgraded upon arrival to a lovely room with a small yard. The children enjoyed the hotel grounds (which included a playground and pool). A very cozy place and the food is delicious, we felt safe letting our kids (8 and 10) explore freely around the property.

    We enjoyed the trip a lot, the hotel has a great location to reach the city center in 20 minutes by walking along the river. If you are coming with the river cruise you can even walk to the hotel. The room with river view are very clean and has a nice balcony. But the best of our stay was the service, with fluent English they could help us with every question and request we had! We recommend this hotel :)

    The hostel is pretty close to everything in town, it has free (potable) water, and the beds are luxurious. It also has a little area for storing luggage, a hangboard, a set of rings, yoga mats, at least one TheraBand, and a couple of simulated two-bolt stations with two short lengths of rope where you can practise rope skills. My room had large windows, so it would probably stay reasonably cool at night in the summers.

    Firstly, the hostel is located a bit away from the main town centre, but I chose it for the quiet location; not to mention the views from the 5/F were amazing and you could hear the ducks quacking away in the morning. The bunk beds are one of the widest and comfortable I've slept in with lots of space. Free laundry usage on the rooftop were helpful. Friendly staffs at the reception and a cozy lounge and backyard area which even has a swimming pool, though I've not swam in it. Overall a very pleasant time there!

    I saw the reviews and almost didn't give this place a chance but eventually decided to go anyway, and I'm glad I did. The hostel is nothing like what the bad reviews say. The rooms were tidy, the linens were clean, and the best were comfortable. The rooms had AC and privacy curtains. I'm really not sure what some people expect from a cheap youth hostel because as far as hostels go across Asia, this one was decent.

    Best hostel for both climbers and non-climbers alike that want to experience the amazing Yangshuo. Lily was an amazing host and as a pretty inexperienced climber she guided me in all the best routes in area. I’m sure during peak season you would have no problem finding a climbing partner. Hotel facilities were prefect and great value for money. Definitely would recommend if you’re staying in Yangshuo.

    Great location in Yangshuo, very close to the Li River, and with great mountain views in the evenings. I stayed for one night and thought the hostel was decent for a sleep and a shower. Location is the main draw. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made themselves available. Overall, no real problems.
