Jolie Vue Boutique Hotel Guilin

Hotel itself was very nice. Location, variety of breakfast was excellent. There were lot of Asian and western products. Elephant trunk hill view from the restaurants balcony. But 10 points and smiley face goes to staff at reception. They were amazing. Without them the whole stay would been big mistake. Reception was the place who fix problems etc.

Elevator works without room key card. First day we were out of the room like 5h. Some one slipped escort service business card under the door. We asked that from receptionist that was it "complimentary offer" for western tourists or did all rooms in that floor get that "offer" as well. They say NO. So pimps and hoes can walk at the hallway free and randomly. Security must check their procedures. Because the restaurant staff don't speak English at all or very little. You have to know your benefits/rights and stay strong. Otherwise they will charge what ever they want. They event don't know hotels discounts to the guests. Even there's a huge promotions at elevators wall. Big thanks to the receptionist to help us. Also 3th floors corridor had a huge moldy smell. Thankfully it's OK to smoke at hallway so usually cigarettes smoke went over that. And the grossest thing what I witnessed was that chef sneezed booger of his nose to the floor in the middle of the breakfast!!

Its an outdated hotel in the city center of Guilin. The room is spacious, the extra size double bed clean and cosy, The rainshower was quite good but needs more cleaning. The views from the sixth floor towards the elephant hill were spectacular. Just 5 minutes walking distance to the temple and a restaurant area.

The furniture has got a lot of scratches. The air condition is very noisy and spreads a decayed smell. So therefore the room needs to be refurbished . The breakfast is mainly focused on chinese taste.
