The Laojieyuan Boutique Hotel（Huangshan Area Tunxi Old Street）

Location is great because it's a short walk to the old street where all the shops & restaurants are. Staff were also friendly & helpful. There was also a notice in the room alerting guest of school noise every morning, so you can request for quieter room if you don't wish to get woken up by the school children. However, we didn't feel very comfortable as the hotel interiors looked a bit run-down & sleazy, despite it being opened only in 2021. Security also not tight, as anyone can go up to the guest rooms either via lift or the back entrance stairway. My room also reeked of smoke. 😞 The glass doors of toilet & shower are also translucent, not very ideal if friends are staying together in same room. Fortunately this was just a one night stay so we could move to Huangshan Tangkou quickly for the mountain hike the next morning. Guess can't ask for much at such pricing. 😆

TBH we were not impressed by the hotel (motel) because it was really old. The reception was quite pushy on getting us a transfer to Huangshan scenic area which we declined. Its location is actually very near the bus terminal (cheap n convenient) or if you are a didi VIP member, u may be able to get a better transfer rate. Good enough for a night rest / transit but don’t expect comfort. Soundproofing was bad.
