Rooms were a decent size and clean. Breakfast runs out fast, even though they are supposed to serve until 9.30, they do not replenish when run out. Not much to see in the immediate area. I was on a escorted group tour, so this was ok for an overnight stay just to grab some sleep and a shower.

The rooms in this hotel are from good quality. Some reception staff are friendly & nice, but some others are rude (specially young male receptionists). The rooms with a view to the front of the hotel have a beautifull view onto the river. The breakfast is good, but you have to come early, when you come late, al lot is... More

We stayed at the Osmanthus Hotel for three nights in September 2012. The location of the hotel is quite convenient, right next to the river walk on the Peach Blossom River. The lobby is big but pretty unassuming. The staff doesn't seem to speak a lot of English and were not overly friendly, nor were they rude. The only request... More

The only good thing about this place is its location which is by the Peach Blossom River and central to Guilin. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. The rooms are dated, poorly decorated and one of the walls in our room was mouldy! The hotel staff are brusque and downright rude in some instances.

We had an occasion to visit Guilin on a short trip and we stayed at Osmanthus Guilin hotel for 2 nights.On reaching quite late in the night for stay, we had to wait for long time to get our baggage in the room. Upon entry, it took no time to notice that it was an average place to stay and... More

Dont expect any form of great service. Its a hotel in a good location with average decor and value for money. Staff does not have any sense of customer relationship. On checking out, they informed us about a missing laundary bag. We told them that it must be somewhere in the room. The staff caused a ruckus and we had... More

We stayed at the Osmanthus because it was booked by our tour company. The hotel's location is fine and the rooms are clean but it fails to impress in a number of small ways such as the free drinking water is just the local water boiled and put into a container in the mini bar. The toiletries are minimal and... More

We did not stay at this hotel, fortunately. But we did eat at the restaurant, and that was a disaster. The only occasion we had food poisoning while we travelled in China. First impressions count, and I have to say I thought this looked a little more than run down. It is a long time since a good maintenance programme... More

Our experience here was the same as the several other 3 star hotels we'd stayed at in China. It was more than adequate for our needs but does indeed seem oldish and in need of modernisation. The reception was a large spacious area. We found the reception staff to be welcoming and friendly and spoke English. The rooms were clean... More
