XiaoBaLi (literally “Little Bali”) is one of three branches of the “Xiao Qing Mai” (“Little Chiangmai”) brand of hotels in Yangshuo, managed by an amiable local family. I think the older pictures posted in TA belong to a hotel under a different management previously – the address is the same but the hotel owners must have been changed and it has been completely revamped since.

Location :
In a quiet lane about 5 minutes’ walk from the river bank and about 10 minutes’ walk to West street. There are several other quaint-looking boutique style hotels along this lane (no convenience shops or restaurants on this stretch of the road) and the front of the hotel faces lots of greenery. I love the location for its proximity to the river and also the commercial West street without the noise and crowds. One end of the lane (nearer to the river) only becomes busy around 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm as it is close to the land transport pickup point for boat tours that arrive from Guilin. If you arrive at the Yangshuo Southern bus station, it will cost about 10 RMB by “motorbike taxi” to the hotel (10 minutes’ ride). Didn’t see any taxis at the bus station but I guess the hotel might be able to help arrange for your taxi or local car transport .

Room :
Various room types from tiny to family rooms. The ones with balcony (rather small) are the best as some of the rooms with windows look right into walls of nearby buildings! The entire hotel adopts a Thai/Balinese design style so you see a lot of teak wood furniture and Southeast Asian ethnic fabrics being used in the furnishings. All are done in a beautiful and tasteful style and you might forget that you are in China momentarily.….. well, a nice change if you’ve been in China for quite some time already.

Room is very comfortable and though quite small (I booked a mini double with balcony, located on level 3), it has all the standard amenities within (kettle, mugs, bottled water, hairdryer, toiletries, good quality towels etc.). Take note that the large toilet/shower-room does not have a door separating it from the rest of the room – only a linen curtain to protect your modesty : )

Overall :
The family members are friendly and helpful and the small lobby is a nice pleasant place to hand around with a drink (juices, coffee etc are sold there).
I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and thought this is a really good deal – great environment, beautiful interior and pleasant staff, all on a modest budget. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous interior and comfort on a small budget

We recently stayed here 3 nights, and we're the only foreigners in the hostel, the staff (a special mention to Yolanda!) really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay (suggesting activities and things to do, be sure to hire some bikes and go exploring :) ) and helped us with booking our bus back to Guilin, bike hire and finding a Chinese SIM card...It rained a lot while we were staying (in many ways the rain made the scenery even more spectacular) so be sure to take a jacket. The Hostel is located very close to where our boat dropped us off and a 5 minute walk to West Street. The Hostel is home to 2 cats and an older dog called Cocoa (he was a bit grumpy), at the time of the visit, the Hostel was going through some renovations, these were not disruptive to our stay. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here :)

 



A pleasant stay :)...

we had 3 days and 2 nights stay in yangshuo Dozycat youth hostel. This is definitely a lovely place to stay and the best hostel in our entire trip of 4 hostel. other than the price is cheap, the cleanliness and the comfort is above our expectation! yet the staffs (youngsters) are very friendly, they kind enough to give direction to place we want to go. the location is a perfect point too. this hotel around 5 minute walk to west street pedestrian (out the hostel turn right and walk straight, do no choose left side). the cats and dog there are cute, COCO the dog, and those cats will follow u to the room, play with u. we took a standard room with view, 205 room number if not mistaken, flowery theme.

Best hostel in yangshuo!
