Guicun River Hotel

The hotel itself is fine for a short stay. The location is excellent for the entry to the waterfall park, BUT you need to travel approx 20km back along S325 (X538/Yanbian Highway toward Nanong/Fujiao on Google Maps)to obtain entry tickets. Our rooms were clean, the beds (Chinese) firm and, lo and behold, the plumbing accurate..ie the cold and hot signs on the mixer taps were correct. I have marked down the services simply because there were few to be had and our rooms were not serviced after our first night. When my daughter queried this with the front desk the reply was that we did not request the service. Similarly facilities are marked down because they consisted solely of a bedroom, albeit very roomy BUT highly expensive for a hotel with so little to offer. There were no food services, neither breakfast nor dinner, availble for our visit, and none within walking distance - unless you fancy walking a county lane in the dark. The hotel suggested a small village approx 3kms along route S325. However parking here was 20RMB no matter your length of stay. This village is also the entry point to the waterfall park where you should be able to buy tickets - but the machines would not work for our Chinese citizen and would not accept foriegner details. We eventually drove approx 8km back past the hotel to the next village along S325 (X538/Yanbian Highway toward Nanong/Fujiao on Google Maps) that had open restaurants - sorry name of village not available but the food was excellent..local river fish. Apologies but I actually forgot to photograph the locale and rooms etc. Frankly I cannot recommend this hotel unless they develop their services to provide adequate restaurant facilities.
