Everything was beyond expectations. I say this as a customer, a hotel owner customer. I recommend Holiday Inn Express on the Bund, for its services, decent prices and last but not least, for its location.

Very good hotel, we loved it! It has a good location, near the metro station and you can reach any popular place quickly. Service is perfect, food is mostly Chinese, but you will also find some European food at breakfast and dinner. Rooms are big, clean. We would like to recommend this hotel!

We are from Colombia and had a wonderful stay at Magnotel Guilin. The location is excellent — close to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions of the city. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Special thanks to Vito, our amazing host, who assisted us with everything and made our stay very pleasant. Spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms — highly recommended!
