Yangshuo Sudder Street Guesthouse

Lovely guesthouse, very aesthetic, clean, and comfy rooms. Laundry is free however there is no lift so a lot of stairs to walk up to the top floor! There is a cosy common area downstairs and lots of outdoor seating where the views are stunning. Lots of international guests and was a lot more sociable than anywhere else we’ve stayed in China. The reception staff speak English and are both very helpful when booking tickets for the attractions, they have lots of information on display about local activities and scooter/bike hire from the hostel. Location is a bit of a walk to West Street but worth it and there are lots of shops and restaurants on the way, notably Jane’s restaurant almost opposite which does western food and breakfast.

I booked the hotel somewhat hastily, recommended by some YouTube influencer. In the photos and videos, it really looked beautiful. The hotel's biggest advantage is the excellent view from the balcony, and the location is very convenient, close to West Street pedestrian street. However, the room feels like it hasn’t been maintained for a long time, with the entire guesthouse using old village style doors from the countryside. While these doors have an antique charm, they aren’t very comfortable to use, for example the long bench. Additionally, there are strange stains on the walls, and the bathroom feels old and not very clean, with accumulated dirt staina and watermarks that haven’t been cleaned. It gives the impression that even the owner doesn’t seem to care much, as everything in the guestroom hasn’t been well-maintained. There are no clothes hangers, tissues, or bottled water in the room, which feels a bit stingy. Good luck 🤞

Very good hotel. Great views from the rooftop. Also the staff was really nice and helpful on booking tours.

I’m kicking myself for choosing this place over somewhere that was closer to the center of town/tourist area… I prefer walking over biking/scooter so that was my downfall. As of August, they rent out scooters for 30Y/day (but max 30km, or 50Y/day with outside scooters) and bikes for 10Y/day. On the bright side, this place would be perfect for relaxing with the pool and the quiet away from a bustling street and the clean shared spaces - the dorm seemed to be solid beds but mine was a bit dusty in the corners. I saw they also had multiple free washing machines on the 6th floor with a large drying area for guests, so that would also have been convenient to use if needed. My room was a walk up (but I bet a majority of the buildings around there are) so after the adventures of the day it was pretty exhausting going up and down. If you’re set on renting a scooter or bike or even wanting to settle in Yangshuo for a longer time, then I really would recommend this place.

Enjoyed my stay here. Service was really good and the room was comfortable. Would have preferred to be more located near the West Str., this stay was a bit far out of the city, but bicycles were available to rent.

The location is very good for exploring yangshuo, and the people in the reception was very helpful!
