We stayed three nights at the resort, which was ample time to enjoy the nice surroundings. We were keen to stay outside Yangshuo but close enough to visit with ease. (It's a maximum ten minute drive to West St/Xi Jie, the main dining and souvenir shopping zone for tourists). The grounds of the resort are lush and nicely maintained, the rooms are huge, and the staff is polite and strives to be helpful. The resort does not currently cater well to non-Chinese guests. It seems to want to attract them, given the booking sites it is listed on. There are steps management could easily take to improve the experience for those who don’t understand the language. Our room was an 'immersion' room, on the ground floor. The other types were apparently all taken when we made our booking. We would have preferred to stay on a higher floor to take advantage of the view of the karst hills out the windows. Since the main walking path goes past the ground floor rooms, we kept the blinds shut most of the time. And when they were up, there was bamboo - helpful for ensuring privacy - shielding the view. The interior was very spacious. In fact, there was a lot of redundant space. The decoration would best be described as eclectic. It's perfectly comfortable, just not especially user friendly. Other guests have commented on the openness of the bathroom to the bedroom. There is a blind to pull down for a degree of privacy but a door would not go amiss. The breakfast could do with a revamp. It's not that the food is bad, it's just an odd collection: ham, bacon, eggs, salad, white toast, sometimes without spread, and coffee. Identically served to each diner daily. By Day Three we decided to give it a miss. One remedy would be to offer some choice, e.g. tea or coffee, continental or cooked, meat or no meat, rather than assuming everyone has the same taste in breakfast food. Perhaps guests could tick their preference on a pre-printed list, rather than muddling through verbal order-taking with the cook./waitress. We were told that the resort will soon provide meals at other times of the day. That is a promising development. Early evening when we were enjoying sitting in the nice outdoor area behind the reception we sometimes would have liked to dine in, not have to travel back to Yangshuo. Helen, the manager, and one other staff member spoke enough English for us to organise transport and did their best to make sure we were taken care of. Management ought to prepare a folder for each guest room containing English language information about the resort and sightseeing possibilities, including maps, e.g. of cycling or walking routes. An English version of Lonely Planet to borrow from reception would be a good starting point. If we were able to speak Mandarin to staff and tap their expertise about the local area, our experience would likely have been greatly enhanced. Even in the absence of a shared language, Ikkyo Resort can make small, simple adjustments that would really improve its attractiveness to a wider range of guests. The resort is a good concept located in an idyllic environment and we hope it can reach its potential.…
This hotel lies approximately 10 minutes away from the centre of Yangshuo. It is located in a very quiet area but the area in itself has nothing special... The hotel consists of three 5-story buildings. We were in building nr. 2, on the fifth (top) floor. One should be aware that there are no elevators (86 steps to be precise!). The rooms are quite large (approx. 30 sq meters excluding the bathroom), have a television and are quite nice. There is a terrace with a bathtub, but frankly not very attractive as mosquitoes and other insects are flying around. The bathroom is also quite nice but has a glas window which means that you can see everything from the room. If you like privacy in your bathroom this is not the place. In addition, a lot of things have not been built "according to the book" and the bathroom door could not remain closed anyway. The staff does not speak a word of English, which makes it really difficult. The breakfast was really awful (and we mean it!): cold fried eggs with two cucumbers and a tomato, white toast barely roasted and one piece of butter... One very positive point to mention: they have brand new mountaing bikes which are excellent and the hotel is uniquely located to start a nice bike ride along the river.…
