I have to say that this hotel is great value for money. We stayed in a standard room but I think that if we go again and stay for longer, which we would do, we would upgrade to a panoramic room as the views are stunning. The rooms are large, clean and the bathrooms good. Ours had the shower over the bath but it had good pressure and was very hot unlike a lot of places in China. The beds were a little hard but again thats typical of China and they had extra duvets that you could put under you if needed.
As a foriegner I found the staff very friendly, they spoke enough english and the location is one of the best in Yangshuo. It is right on the corner of "West Street" which has lots of western cafes and bars so if you need a bit of a "fix" go and chill out. No matter how much you love China sometimes its just nice to have a bit of home around you and this can be found in Yangshou but mixed nicely with the Chinese too.
The only criticism I have is that the hotel doesnt have a lift and we were on the 3rd floor with an 83 year old mother. It wouldve been better for her to have a lift. Having said that we managed and the staff carried the bags up to the room for us.
