Secret Courtyard Hotel

This is a gem of a hotel. It’s situated in a small contained village outside of downtown but easily accessible. It costs c15rmb and 15-20 minutes to get downtown. There are bikes and ebikes you can scan and use at the bridge entrance of the village and plenty of restaurants if you prefer to be close to the hotel in the evening. The room was large, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. I had a patio and view of the mountains. The host is absolutely amazing - he does everything he can to make you feel at home and your stay comfortable. When he knew mozzies loved me and I’m always hot he kept a room keycard permanently in my room with mozzie repellant plug-ins on and the air con so my room would be bug free and cool. He found out I loved watermelon and bought them especially for me offering them at meals and when I returned from sightseeing. I got home late one night and hadn’t eaten and he made me dinner at 10pm. He gave some small gifts to remember the place by when I left. He doesn’t speak English but between my survival Chinese and apps we were fine. If you want rest, quiet and super friendly service I’d definitely choose here. The style is Chinese homestay and the environment in and around the hotel is wonderful.

早餐豐盛，非常適合帶家人孩子，有家的味道，停車也很方便，酒店位置也非常好找，就在停車廠邊上

Breathtaking view with quiet a**osphere. Owner is helpful and kind. Highly recommended.

Lovely boutique hotel with wonderful staff in a quaint neighborhood. Limited but delicious and filling breakfast - recommend getting the Guilin noodles. The room and view was nice. I would stay here again when in Guilin.

Excellent hotel, great location and the owner is very friendly and helpful. The room was exactly suited to my needs and was a great place to explore guilin from.

It lives up to the expectation.

The owner makes this place perfection! Anything to do to help he does! He helped organize a day trip to Yangshuo for me and my friend. He always welcomed us with water and watermelon. Breakfast is toast and jam with eggs and tea/coffee or Guilin style noodles. Location is in a small scenic area. Rooms could use a better scrubbing down and bathrooms become quite humid. But beds are very comfy!

The location of the hotel is very convenient. It is close to most attractions in the city . The room decor was nice. The owner of the hotel was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast included with the room. We enjoyed our stay there .

Wow, the hotel was very lovely and the owner really made it a wonderful experience. He was warm and welcoming. He helped me and my friend book a trip and helped us locate a place to get a PCR test. On arrival, he prepared some fresh watermelon, and when we came back from a long day of sightseeing, he delivered more watermelon and water to the room. On the last night he invited us to join him and his friends for some delicious 烧烤! It was a lovely experience! The hotel is around 10-15 minutes to down town or you could cycle, rent an ebike to get around. The area is quiet and you can see the mountains all around. There is a nice walk way and cycle path near by.
