Fairfield By Marriott Yangshuo is a large, modern, value-priced hotel in the middle of Yangshuo town, next to West Street, the pedestrian lane of cafés, bars, souvenir shops and street food that is the centre of the town’s evening life. With over two hundred rooms, a restaurant, a fitness centre and a 24-hour front desk, it offers the dependable standards of a global brand at a price that is usually well below the resorts in the countryside. If you want to walk to dinner, find a tour pick-up point or take a late stroll along the lanes, this is a convenient place to sleep. The appeal is simple. Yangshuo is a place where you spend your days out in the landscape on the rivers, bike trails and viewpoints, and you do not necessarily need an expensive room to enjoy it. A clean, comfortable base with good Wi-Fi and a decent breakfast leaves more of the budget for river trips, cooking classes and the evening show. It suits first-time visitors, families, groups of friends and independent travellers who like to explore on foot.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Yangshuo town, next to West Street, so restaurants, bars and shops are on the doorstep. The Li River boat docks, the Yulong River and the big viewpoints are reached by taxi, tour or bike, usually in 10 to 25 minutes, and Yangshuo railway station is nearby. Guilin Liangjiang airport is roughly an hour and a half away by road, and the hotel may not offer a shuttle, so arrange a transfer in advance. Check the exact route to the tour pick-up points when you book.
Rooms
There are more than two hundred rooms, simple and modern in style, with comfortable beds, a desk, air conditioning and private bathrooms, and family rooms offer extra space. Rooms facing West Street can be noisy on busy evenings, so ask for a quieter room or a higher floor if you are a light sleeper. Check the room types and bed options when you book.
Who it suits
First-time visitors who want to be in the centre, couples and groups of friends who plan to eat out and see the show, and families who want a hotel with a restaurant and room service. The hotel is also a practical choice for independent travellers who plan to join day tours. It is less suited to guests who want a pool, a spa or the stillness of the countryside, where hotels near the Yulong River are a better match.
Good to know
The hotel has a restaurant, a fitness centre, room service and a 24-hour front desk. Fairfield hotels usually include breakfast in the room rate, but check when you book, as offers vary. Parking is available at an extra charge. Check-in is normally in the afternoon and check-out around midday, and policies on children, extra beds and pets vary. Yangshuo is busiest around national holidays and in autumn, when rates rise, so book early.
