There is little chance of a comfortable night at the Fubo hotel as the rooms and floors are grimey and the windows do not open so all you have is a noisy and dirty air conditioning system. At breakfast they have a buffet of all kinds of things but everything tastes the same or leaves an aftertaste. At breakfast the... more

Location is great. Nice view of Li River if you get the upper level rooms facing the river. Quiet but walking distance to the hustle and bustle of city center. A tad bit overpriced though considering Guilin is a city with lots of hotels. However I had a check out experience that puts everything into the dumps. A hand towel... more

The Fubo wasn't anything great. The staff didn't speak English very well and the lobby smelled horrendous. It smelled like some musty old basement that's just been opened for the first time in 10 years. The rooms were okay; small and serviceable. The location was okay - it's right on the riverfront and only a short bike ride away from... more

the bad: the hotel was a little dirty and also very far from things. If I was ever to head to guilin again, i'd get a hotel closer to the action. we found ourselves always walking far in the morning and night to get everywhere like the bus station, restaurants, breakfast, grocery store, etc. there was a cigarette butt by... more

We only stayed here one night and it was a basic, clean room with great views of the river and people doing morning dancing and tai chi. (check on the specific rooms which face the river) There were mostly westerners at this hotel so it was definitely a tourist hotel. The breakfast buffet was basic and only ok, nothing special... more

Not brand-new, but clean and comfortable, especially the bathroom. The air con was nice and cold. As with most hotels in China, the beds were very hard. We remedied this by requesting extra blankets from the front desk. Centrally located. At least one person at the front desk spoke fairly fluent English. There's a fantastic, cheap restaurant nearby called "McFound"... more

Hotel was a bit worn and musty. The room was good size, plenty of tables, and room to lay out belongings. Clean except for the rubber bath mat which was covered with black mold and they insisted on putting it in the tub! The location is great - right next to the Li River, close to Elphant Hill, and the... more

Guilin is a group-in group-out tourist town. (But it still retains a certain amount of integrity.) The same could be said for the Fubo. It's a bit shabby, but the room we had was pleasant enough, the breakfast was quite all right, and the front desk were especially friendly and helpful. (The view from our room gave a good picture... more

We stayed in Fubo in December 2006 with our family, parents and three sons from 2 to 7 years. We had standard room but it was ok, we were looking for more spacious suite but they were not available. Room was clean and ok 3 star room. Bathroom would love new silicons but otherwice everything was ok. Room fixed furniture... more
