Retro funk all the way The Starway Grand Hotel 0773 is a tired old building from the outside, and the lobby is showing the wear and tear of the years, despite the addition of some retro furniture; however, the rooms have been renovated, the furniture is new (albeit it very retro 80''s!) and the room size reasonable. Both the room and bathroom were clean, and made up daily. The airconditioner worked a treat and was welcome. The bed firm (expected in China) but not uncomfortable. Extra pillows provided.The hotel offers free transfers from the airport. They also have a very helpful tour desk. If you''re there, ask for Lily, she will help you and is full of good advice. She arranged two tours for me; Longji terraced rice fields and Yao village, and a Li River cruise on bamboo boat. Both tours were very good, with English speaking guides. Lily was also very helpful regarding the immediate area ie where the nearest bank ATM was, the twin pagodas, and general safety advice (like hanging on to your bag in front, not on your back, always recommended for tourists in a strange city).The Twin Pagodas are very, very nearby (less than 5 minutes walk). Same goes for the main road of Guilin (including a KFC and MacDonalds if you need an escape from rice and noodles).My only negative observation would be that the area is clearly geared to the Chinese tourists. Eating options were few. Somewhere down near Binjiangnan Road (by the river) seems better set up for the Western tourist. If you''re looking to ease yourself into your China trip, or have children with you who need a more subtle approach, then the down near the Sheraton and Back Street Backpackers may better suit your needs.Stayed - October 2011Duration - two nightsRoom - Superior Business Queen Room
