SYYF Gallery Yard Hotel,Yangshuo(Shili Gallery Yulonghe Branch)

A hidden gem in Yangshuo! Excellent service and clean room with fantastic views of the Karst mountains

The stay at SYYF was one of the best hotels I’ve ever been to. The room is cozy and spacious, with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows with a great view of the mountains. It’s also a hi tech smart room with a voice controlled assistant, Xiaodu, that can control the lights and open/shut the curtains (though it only understands Chinese). There’s also a cute tea set which is great for relaxing by the window. The room is equipped with AC and heat that works great, and the lights can go from bright to a dimmer evening mode, as well as sleep. We also got complimentary sodas, extremely cozy robes and nice house shoes for lounging. The breakfast is served 8-10AM is was definitely one of the best we have experienced in China while traveling. It was robust and offered both regional and western cuisine. There is a lot of ongoing construction on the street that the property is on so be careful. It may be a bit of traffic congestion due to large machines, however the noise was not heard from our room. It might be challenging for Didi drivers to access but there are also e-scooters for rent for about 30 yuan per day. The hotel is surrounded by mountains which are lit up at night for a gorgeous landscape at any time. The welcome photoshoot was fun, with traditional clothes you can borrow. We spent about 30-45 minutes using different props across 3 locations on the property, and got tons of photos that we loved. The staff is so accommodating and responsive and they helped with every little question. The bring lots of thoughtful small pleasantries which added a special touch and made us feel very cherished. They also offered a free shuttle for our departure ride to the train station at the end of our stay. We came in early January and the weather was chilly at night and pleasant during the day. With a jacket it’s not too bad and on a sunny day it’s pleasant with a cool breeze. We had a massage too, which you can order to your room or go to the spa which is close, and they provide shuttle service. The massage was good but a bit pricey even with the 50% off. There are less expensive places in the town not too far away. West street is a popular tourist spot which is also close, about 15-20 minutes away by e-scooter. There’s plenty of shopping, restaurants and a little night life, but we didn’t go out during this trip. 10/10 experience and I would definitely recommend staying here! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when I come back to Yangshuo, and this place makes you REALLY want to come back!

The hotel was very clean with spacious, modern rooms looking out to the picturesque 10 Miles Gallery. But what stood out was the impeccably attentive service. The staff would make sure no wish is left out. Felt very well looked after and would definitely highly recommens this hotel. It is well situated and a bit away from the noisy town center but close enough to all attractions.

Very personalised and responsive services by the Hotel Service Team. Room is newly furnished with smart devices. We could contact the Hotel Service via WeChat for enquirers and requests.

We are a family of 4 with 2 young children who stayed for 4 nights at SYYF. This is easily one of the best hotels that we have stayed in. The staff’s service was impeccable, warm and prompt. Our room was clean and faced amazing mountain views. The location at ten mile gallery was peaceful yet perfect for travelling to other sights in Yangshuo. Our children absolutely loved the lavish breakfast buffet spread and we had delicious dinner at the hotel for 3 nights straight. When we went out to West Street and had difficulty getting a taxi back to the hotel, a staff personally drove the hotel car to pick us up. The hotel even arranged for a complementary transfer to transport us to Yangshuo train station at the end of our stay. I cannot compliment the staff enough for their amazing service and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
