Good, clean place to stay with great location. Staff was average, helpful enough - only complaint was the (mountain) bikes we rented from the hostel were pretty bad. Nice heaters in the room.

Had a very enjoyable stay here. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Large and clean hotel style room with excellent wi-fi. Staff were very helpful in booking tours and arranging bike rentals for a good price. Did the cooking course which we would highly recommend. Very hot shower too which is good in the cold of January. Would stay here again if back in town so definitely recommend!! Has a nice roof-top bar which in the warmer months looks a great place to hang out. Nice lounge downstairs!

The hostel is very nice for backpackers. The location is in a small alley near the main walking streets. They also have a rooftop bar but there was nobody. So for partying with other westerners better go to Monkey Janes. The rooms are clean and also the bathroom is very good for that price. The staff helps you a lot for getting around in Yangshuo.

Everything was better than I expected, great place to stay. Clean, convenient, great staff.....etc. If I had to pick fault, maybe the security could be just a little tighter, there is a rooftop bar which is open to non guests and there doesn't seem to be any screening of who goes up there. Everyone I met up there was really mice though......I'm staying again.

The receptionist was the friendliest person we met. She was extremely helpful and spoke perfect english. She was very honest and pointed out when she made a mistake on our bill and gave us back our money the next day after she checked the till and cctv even though we didn't notice! She was very friendly and gave us advice on where to go and how to get around the city. Very approachable. The hostel was clean, although at night you can hear if people are being loud in the corridor.

Location was brilliant - just off West Street (main street) and right next to the river. View from rooftop bar was beautiful. Rooms were cleaned daily and the beds were very comfy, staff spoke excellent English and were always trying to help. There are keys for the rooms and lockers provided for each person, you have to provide your own lock. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay, especially for the price. Highly recommended.

We only stayed for 1 night in Yangshuo, and regret that we didn't stay longer, because there were a lot of things we wanted to do. Also we got really great help from the lady who worked in the hostel (unfortunately i forgot her name), but her service was excellent!

A great hostel right in the middle of Yangshuo, so much so I've been twice in the 12 months. The roof bar is the stand out feature, be it sitting having a coffee in the morning, or drinking late at night (and playing pool). The view is great. The hostel is really nice and the staff are really nice.

Excellent roof terrace!!! Had a room on the 2nd floor, which was not too loud at night, I don't know how the rooms on 5th floor are... I would definitely recommend the hostel!

The double room we had on the first floor was a bit damp and our clothes never dried once wet. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke very good english, making our short stay a lot easier. The roof top bar was superb for views and socializing.

Showbiz Inn is in a great location close to the river and off an alley on West St. The roofbar has awesome views and was a fun place to spend the night. The staff were kind and helpful, and the free laundry is the first I've seen in China! I wish the roof bar offered some food..simple snacks or something to order and enjoy the view while eating. Overall, great place! Stay here!
