My Husband and I really enjoyed staying here. This Hotel is very close to everything and there is a Beautiful lake that you can walk around or see in a boat ride . We did both while there.  Thank you to the awesome Bell Boy who took our bags up to our lovely room and even if this was his job he was awesome. The Ronghu Hotel seems to be an older one but we enjoyed everything one thing we would like to point out is that it was hard for us as we are English speaking and No One at the Hotel could actually speak any English with us.  We did however manage to get around anyway as we have a  wonderful Chinese Friend who lives in the City that the Hotel is situated in and does speak English and couldn't do enough to help us in every way day and night in getting around the Beautiful City..

Thank you again for Looking after us.

Holiday 

I had room 9525 on the fifth floor, at the end of the corridor. The room overall was facing the rear, so it was quiet. There was no mini bar, which a four star hotel generally has. No english stations on TV. No hand lotion. The shower was in bathtub, and showerhead in very awkward low position, and since no shower curtain, water ended up on floor. Breakfast had no cereal or orange juice and limited fruit & vegetables. No brewed or ground coffee. The room lighting was okay. The room had no central heat, so I requested an electric heater which made the temp comfortable. Overall i would return to the Ronghu of they take care of the above concerns.

A bit antiquated but comfortable in nov 2018

In a city as big as Guilin this hotel and location has as lot to offer.  Food, including the smorgasbord,  was really nice, fresh, with a vast choice for all tastes. Food could be ordered elsewhere if needed eg coffee bar.
Location right on the lake: walk out the back and stroll around the gorgeous lake at all hours, at night with the pagodas lit up, stunning.
Short distance by taxi to the caves that are mind blowing.
Used this as a base before doing the trip on the Li River to Yangshuo. A totally mind blowing experience.

Could write a book on this one!!

The highlight of the hotel is one of a president of China stayed there. They don't say which one but my guess will be that it was about 30 or 40 years ago. Since then the main part of the hotel hasn't been renovated. It's old. Even for Chinese standard that's definitely not a four star. Changed room twice and both rooms stink horribly with no possibility of opening the windows. Most of the plugs were broken, it's dirty, bed-sheets with holes... Breakfast was also definitely not up to standards. Even fruits were unripe, no real coffee. A wing has been renovated. If you really have to stay there asked for a room in that one. The staff was helpful but definitely not rushed. In two words: never again.

My experience at the Ronghu Hotel, Guilin is different to recent reviewers.

The lobby area is a nice enviroment and, depsite what others have said, there was always someone who spoke decent English at reception and I had no problems.

Our room was on the 4th floor of the main building and was a decent size and clean. Though smoking was allowed (this is Chine, you just have to get used to it), the room did not smell of smoke at all.

The amenities were fine, a safe in the room an there was free wi-fi in the lobby and restaurant and LAN internet in the room.

The included breakfast was a bit disppointing, being mostly Chinese fare and not very inspiring but the hotel does cater for mostly Chinese tour groups,

The hotel location is quite good in Guilin and most places are walkable or a short taxi ride away. There are some nearby restaurants. There is a spa in the hotel which we used for a foot massage and, though more expensive than on the street, was good quality and relaxing.

Overall, a pretty decent place to stay though there isn't a gym or pool for exercise.

Decent hotel in Guilin

we didn't even last through the first night at this hotel - we had to move to a different one around midnight. booked a lake view room for 490rmb. at check-in we were told that we were upgraded to a suite in the building across the parking lot from the main building. it was a suite all right, but with no lake view. heavy smoke smell. when the a/c was turned on it was even worse. 

after we came back from dinner at a local restaurant we were trying to get some sleep. however the strong smoke smell prevented us from falling asleep. we got up and started to call around, even the Sheraton didn't have non-smoking floors! when we called guilin hotel (used to be a holiday-inn property) we found what we wanted - a non-smoking room on a non-smoking floor! the rate was cheaper than ronghu hotel. 

when we went to the front desk to check out the front desk person offered another room in the main building which was also not satisfying. they promptly told us we wouldn't get a refund. I didn't expect one and I was just happy that there was a better hotel a few steps away. we spent four nights at guilin hotel, everything was wonderful and we left very happy. 

we will never stay at ronghu again.

the good:
- location. right in the city center. 

the bad:
- bad a/c system which doesn't filter out cigarette smoke or doesn't provide any ventilation. the air was toxic. I felt like I smoked two packs after staying in the room for a few hours.

- front desk people short changed us by not giving us our reserved type of room.

- it seems the hotel is mainly catering to tourist groups and conference participants. not friendly to individual tourists.
