Elephant Trunk Hill Hotel

Elephant Trunk Hill Hotel is a mid-range hotel at No. 52 Minzhu Road (Democratic Road) in Xiangshan District, Guilin, Guangxi, China, a few minutes' walk from the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area. Elephant Trunk Hill, a limestone formation shaped like an elephant drinking from the Li River at its confluence with the Peach Blossom River, is the emblem of Guilin, and staying nearby allows early-morning visits before tour groups arrive. The riverside promenade, the Two Rivers and Four Lakes circuit and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are all within a short taxi ride or a longer walk, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is also close. The hotel is a straightforward, practical property rather than a design-led boutique, with Standard Room and Twin Room categories, wifi and air conditioning. Rates follow the typical Guilin four-star level of roughly 425 yuan (about 63 US dollars) per night. Guest feedback is strong: the hotel is rated 9.6 out of 10 on Trip.com from more than 3,000 reviews, which converts to about 4.8 out of 5, suggesting consistent cleanliness and service for its price. Restaurant, pool and spa facilities are not listed in the available information, so meals are usually taken at the many local restaurants and noodle shops around Minzhu Road and along Zhengyang Street. The service character is that of an efficient, location-focused hotel suited to independent travellers and couples who want to walk to the main sight. Staff can generally help with Li River cruise tickets and onward transport to Yangshuo, as many guests use Guilin as a base for these trips. Because the hotel is near a major attraction, streets close to the park can be busy with tour buses during the day, though evenings are calmer. Checking the exact room orientation when booking helps with noise.
