THE noisiest + no breakfast
The Expedia description says “breakfast served for surcharge”, but I was told at the front desk that they don’t serve breakfast. There are many restaurants around but no bakeries or supermarkets that sell real groceries for picnics. I had to eat at Chinese restaurants x2 a day, and munched energy bars I had with me because going to a Chinese restaurant x3 a day was too much for me. The room desperately needed renovation: wall and furniture painting peeling off; plastic furniture lining crumbling + daily cleaning didn’t clean up this crumbling mess during my entire stay; taking a shower causing serious leaks on the bathroom floor; the bathroom sink had multiple stains; floor boards squeaking and with scratches everywhere (I was worried about the people staying underneath for squeaking noise problems). Also this was the noisiest place I have ever stayed. It’s on one of the main streets in Yangshuo (a 6-lane kind). If you are sensitive to noise, don’t expect to be able to sleep past 7am. You start to hear the noise of passing cars around 6am and many drivers honk. There is an apartment complex behind the hotel that has a playground. You hear children running around screaming and blasting music to practice some dance routine till 9pm or even later. You DO see those beautiful Yangshuo mountains but they are behind these apartment buildings, just to remind you. It is inexpensive, but I have stayed at many budget accommodations with much better conditions and surrounding.
