Gongcheng hotels from HK$238

"Best hotel ever."

"Pros: the grounds are beautiful, the location is great and close to many natural sites, and our room was large. Cons: food was pretty bad, service was generally bad, HVAC in our room didn’t work well, and the staff didn’t speak much if any English."

"An excellent stay. The views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. The staff were lovely and fantastically helpful. They spoke good English and were able to arrange all the trips we needed including transport and tickets. Not only that but they ensured the drivers took us to the right entry points and were clear about where to pick us up from. We were able to have a ‘tab’ and pay for all our food, trips and massages in one payment at checkout. They were able to take Visa and not just Alipay as was the case with other places we stayed. The building and garden are well designed and all the furniture and fittings have been carefully selected and are tasteful and attractive. The rural location means the views are spectacular but does mean it’s a 50 minute walk from town, but it is possible to get the free shuttle or arrange for a taxi. The food is good quality home cooked fare and there were plenty of vegetarian options and both western and Chinese food available. We had a fabulous stay and are grateful to the lovely staff for all their help"

"Room was phenomenal and came with a massage chair. Location is a bit further from main town but a very quick and cheap car trip away. Highly recommend."

"We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is conveniently located between the Li river and the Sickle Bay. To the west, the pier is only a mile away, and the motor raft is easy to book to enjoy the magnificent waves rock scenery. To the east, the Sickle Bay, a world natural heritage site, is great for hiking to have the breathtaking overlooking on top. The hotel has the scenery nicely blended in. Whether you enjoy a nice dish at the restaurant, or just enjoy a book with a cup of tea at the tea house, you will lost in time. The staffs are very friendly and courteous. We got a huge local grapefruit to take back home, which was a nice treat. We definitely want to come back again to enjoy."

"Spacious, modern and clean - had a perfect stay"
