Hotels near Yangshuo Painting and Calligraphy Academy, Yangshuo

Stayed in the duplex room - favourite hotel throughout our month long trip! Clean, huge, spacious, comfortable, had an extra bed downstairs etc. lots of food options around, walking distance to west street.

Room is ok, not exceptional. I can’t understand where all the high ratings came from. Location is far from west street. Definitively not within walking distance. Cleanliness can be improved. Facilities are run down and not maintained. Staff used bare hands (no gloves and hands not sanitised) to handle and cook rice noodles for guests in morning, unhygienic and not following basic food handling procedures. Not once but over 2 mornings and with different staff on different occasions. Lift waiting public area on 8th floor was not lit at night. Do NOT buy Guilin Romance Park tickets through hotel. We made the mistake of buying the tickets from hotel. We were told by hotel front desk staff that the tickets were VIP seats in the middle, but in fact they were not and seats were to the side. What’s more, only after we bought the tickets from hotel were we told to collect them from a cafe (frequented by many touts) and not at the park entrance as legitimate tickets should be.

Location It's 'in' West Street rather than 'on' West Street. Surrounding the hotel is the Pedestrian shopping area. It is filled with street vendors and evening activities. Despite this the noise level in the hotel room is fine. You cannot hear anything from outside even during the evenings. Great location. Room The room itself (we were in the Cinema projector room) is large enough but it did lack a fridge. We were only there for 2 nights but any longer and this may be an issue. The room is clean. Daily housekeeping provides bed tidying, trash emptying, and new towels each night. One issue thing is that housekeeping turned off the AC and unplugged my charging plugs (to be fair, nothing at the time was actually being charged) but I do like coming back to a super cold room after a hot day so I didn't like the AC being turned off. If you are deciding on the Cinema room, be wary. It is a good movie-watching experience and there are lots of Chinese and Western films. But, it has to be in low light. You must close the curtains..... but the curtains still let in light through the bottom. You will also have to turn off the lights and this is another problem. Normally one light switch controls one light. But this hotel has smart switches where one switch can control several lights and there was no combination that we found can allow the room to be dark enough for the screen but allow some light so you are not sitting in total darkness. This meant we turned off all room lights and turned on the lights in the bathroom. The bathroom is large but a few issues here too. The toilet is not a smart bidet toilet. Just a normal one. No big issue.The shower is a bigger issue. There are two showerheads, a tall one high on the roof and a handheld one, pretty normal. But the handheld one is tiny, and as a guy who prefers the handheld one, it takes forever to use it thoroughly enough. Another issue with the bathroom is the fact that if you sit in the room you can look inside the bathroom and see whomever is showering. The glass is frosted so its not clear and as I was with my wife, its not an issue for us. But if you have a twin room then maybe its an issue if you don't want someone to see you showering. But the bathroom has a heated towel rack and large heated mirror and good shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided The bedroom floor is an issue. I weigh 75kg and in places on the floor you step it feels as if the floor is flexing under you. Then I saw that part of the seam of the wood looked like its coming up and if you were not wearing slippers then maybe you could cut yourself One last issue with the room is the level it is on. As mentioned before the hotel is on the street. So if you keep your curtains open, anyone on the street can very easily see into your room. It lacks privacy. Breakfast: I must say this was disappointing. You have mini-croissants and plain sliced bread for toast. You have rice, noodles, mini chicken sausages and eggs. There's a noodle station also so you can get some cooked to your desire. But it just seemed lacking in options. Service: Very warm and friendly and patient staff. You can ask questions (in English) via WeChat and they often reminded me about times for breakfast and if I was okay so far. Common Areas: The hotel is very modern. Lots of places to sit and every surface is designed well with interesting and modern materials and furnishings. Extras: Laundry room is good. 4 modern washer/dryers. sinks to do hand washing and an excellent steamer to iron clothes The hotel has a spa but we never used Overall: The only other hotels that may be better than this were much more expensive and in a worse location. So with BO Hotel, you get a very pretty hotel with a modern look, a large room with nice features (cinema screen), great service from staff and all for a low price and in an amazing location. Yangshuo then for 3-4 days or less I would return. Any longer and I would want a fridge and a gym

In my opinion, everything is perfect. At the hotel you will be met by an attentive and kind reception worker who speaks english. They will tell you everything and answer your questions about the hotel and the sights in the area. The hotel is located not far away, within walking distance from the busy and noisy west street, but at the same time it is very quiet and calm near the hotel itself, which is important for a good sleep. The breakfast at the hotel is good and delicious. Also in the afternoon, the hotel offers to enjoy a drink with fruits and cakes on the roof with a charming view. It is possible to rent a bike right in front of the hotel to explore the area. I recommend this hotel to everyone!

My favorite hotel in China. I wish I could live there. I stayed multiple times, 3 different rooms. It's well located, in one of the loveliest areas but be mindful of the crowd and music noise in the evening. I actually loved the liveliness of the area. Rooms with balconies are comfortable. Not all have a fridge so again be mindful when booking. The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Outside motorbike vendors are the best. I will book here in the future again.

Always this hotel my first choice at Yangshou very good location ,clean ,excellent staff specially hotel manager Jenny,front desk XU Jarvis and XU Caroline very friendly helpful . I totally recommend this hotel @ Yitian west street Hotel. For all kind of travelers. Thank you

Some rooms have smoke smells left by guests smoking. When there are enough rooms, the service staff will take the initiative to adjust the rooms to non-smoking rooms. Give good reviews. I hope there will still be non-smoking rooms. The environment and hygiene are very good. In the design of the washbasin, I hope to add a shelf for placing items. The overall cost performance is still very high.

Excellent hotel in an awesome location tucked away 1 minute walk from the busy area of West Street and right next to the river. The family that looks after is amazing, they provided such high level of service with checkin and out just super friendly. The hotel is well maintained, clean with a very cool rooftop. The room and bathroom was really tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. We are not sure about the reviews from the smelly drain or worries of walking down an alley. It was a cute alley and China is safe when it comes to alleys unlike much of the world.

This place is absolutely magical. Me and my friends drank coffee on the roof every morning, the views are stunning. Lily the host is just an immaculate human being with a wonderful heart made of gold. She was so helpful with finding all the crags and good local food! The place has a real character that should not be missed out on! This was the perfect place to meet other climbers and get connected to the community in Yangshuo. The location is perfect for access to good food and good routes. I climbed every day but one! She has scooters, guidebooks and rental gear if needed. The place is legendary! 10/10 would book again! Thanks for the great time!

HOW TO REACH: The local name of this hotel is “Wang Jiang” tower or building. This helps if you are traveling from Yangshuo Railway Station by taxi. I traveled with my friends – 3 families (with kids), and we are non-Chinese. Typically, several taxis are available at the exit of Yangshuo Railway station. Someone approached me who can speak English – so took a 10-seater. The cost is about RMB 20~25/person & takes about 40 minutes. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The balcony view helps, depending on which side the room is located on. I chose the front side view, which has both a river view and a mountain view. HOTEL: Although the hotel doesn’t have a lift, the staff delivered the luggage to the room. If you need help at the time of checkout, they may help. But I did it on my own at the time of check-out. It is conveniently located close to West Street (10 min walk). HOTEL-RESTAURANT: very good restaurant in 1F (vegetarian options as well!). It is very popular among the locals & we liked it too. But it gets very busy during the weekends. So, if the room is close to 1F, it will be loud till ~ 22:00. HOTEL STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to help foreigners. Many staff can speak English. In my case, YAWEN is worth mentioning, as she helped us a lot in planning our local trips. Even before arriving at the hotel, we had a plan. But our interactions with YAWEN (& her feedback) made it very convenient & time-effective for us. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: It is possible to book tickets for the Ruyi scenic spot, Silver Cave, Hot air balloon, Li-river cruise (from Yangshuo), Xinping (hot air balloon), Bus-trip to Longji Ricefields, & many more at the hotel.
