Guilin Tailian Hotel

T.he first night was sleepless, not due to the big comfy bed, but the FOUL sewer gas odor coming from the bathroom pipes. It woke me repeatedly. The following morning they quickly and graciously changed my room with the help of the bellman- no problems in the new room. Rooms are clean, amenities are great (condoms in the nightstand? lol) Included breakfast was delicious, fresh, an betwd hot. The on site travel agent has very good English and I scheduled the Li River cruise (on the big boat) and the Rice Terraces. Both were long, full days, but very worth it. I would recommend this hotel and the tours whole heartedly. The location of the hotel is perfect. It's a 10 minute walk to Elephant Trunk Hill where I spent the day between touring walking around the park, hiking up the hill, shopping for souveniers, and eating delicious food. Go back and see it at night, too- not to be missed! There is a pedestrian night street market not five minutes from the hotel, and a movie theater- I got to see two American films while I was in town, too. Guilin is a must-see place to visit. I would recommend this hotel and all of these activities to friends and family, for sure.
