We loved the hostel. It had more of a hotel feel than that of a hostel, but it was very nice. The couple that own the hostel are very friendly and very helpful. They always have a smile and were willing to do a lot more for us than we have experienced at other hostels. It's not as central as some other hostels and it was a little difficult to find, but Yangshuo isn't a big town so it's definitely within walking distance to everything in town.

I lived at the hostel for 2 days. As a Chinese, I would say that there are a host of hotels could stand at the same level as this one and ask for less paid. It's a standard 3-star Chinese hotel. I would suggest those who knows a bit Chinese to make the reserve. at taobao.com. It might be cheaper that way. In a nut, it's in generally a acceptable place to stay at Yangshuo.

Hotel was in a good location; not too close to the noisiest streets but within walking distance. HOWEVER, the second night we stayed there was horrible. None of us got any sleep. People slamming doors, on the phone, shouting in the streets, then what sounded like a delivery of chickens who then got thrown about. Horrible. Staff were helpful but it was all a bit odd as the whole family seemed to live in the front reception area.

Lily was great. She and her husband arranged all of our transportation and activities. Their location is central and it was easy to get to all the eating and other activities in town. We would recommend it to others, in fact some of our family is going to stay there next week.

WEST LILY is in good location,it's very easy to find it from YANGSHUO bus station.it's a hotel not a hostel,so you can't find hostel atmosphere.I like it,clean room,full facilities,and friendly staff,I get all but just pay very low price.The only drawback is the shower temperature unstable occasionally .

Very friendly staff. Excellent English. They wash my clothes there - excellent job. Also rent a bicycle, with none of the usual stress of ridiculous deposits (paid at the end of the day).

Nice place set on a road with almost no cars and lots of restaurants. It is about a 15 minute walk to the night market and under 10 mins from the bus station. Rooms are clean with decent showers, windows (in ours anyway) and good beds. No elevator. Would stay again, but would also consider somewhere in town (which is pedestrianised)

The place is in a good location, close to bus station and the main street. You can rent bike for good price. The staff speaks good English and they are really helpful. It is only missing the hostel atmosphere , is more hotel like.

80yuan per person for double bed room was not bad, but I prefer atmosphere in hostels rather than this kinda hotels. Would be more proper if they had named 'motel' instead of hotel. The owner was friendly. Not recommending renting a bike though since you can rent one outside with cheaper price+no deposit.

Good location, wasn't very hard to find if you read the instructions properly. Extremely kind and helpful staff, owner brought us to the bamboo rafts by car himself and helped us arrange everything we wanted to do. Bathroom had a small bathtub with shower. Pulling the plug sent the water over the bathroom floor :). Rooms aren't big but that's no surprise when in China.

Very good hotel at hostel prices. For 70 yuan the night we had a small cozy double room with bathroom and all the facilities, very clean and very well located. Staff were really friendly so... it's a good choice!

The West Lily Hotel is excellent value for money. The staff speak good English and were helpful and friendly. The rooms were good value for the price, very clean, reasonably quiet and safe.. The bed was double sized and typical Chinese rigidity. Bike hire available from the hotel with various types of bike available, good quality and reasonable price. Maps provided for free. Thankyou for a great stay.

This hotel is a gem, really. Located next to the bus station in a quiet alley, this place provides all you can ask for, with a smile and great English. The family who runs it is so sweet and always ready to help and recommend the best visits. They also give you fantastic discounts. A must stay for sure!
