Scenic Hotels in Huangshan

"My husband stayed at Beihai Hotel 20 years ago, and it's certainly not what it used to be. For a hotel with these kinds of amenities at the top of the mountain, I'm extremely satisfied. We asked the butler for extra children's winter coats, and it's not too far to go to Baimashan Villa to watch the sunset. The buffet dinner was also very plentiful. We'll definitely choose to stay here again next time we come to Huangshan."

"Xihai Hotel truly exceeded my expectations! I'd always thought hotels on Huangshan were expensive with limited amenities, but I managed to snag a presale deal: one night on the mountain and one off for just over 800 yuan. So, my best friend and I decided to go see the sunrise. Xihai's location is excellent, right at the intersection of Danxia Peak, West Sea Grand Canyon, and Bright Summit, making it convenient to get anywhere. The hotel on the mountain provides complimentary down jackets and flashlights, which is a huge bonus for hiking and watching the sunrise – you can pack one less bulky item. On our first day, it was cloudy, and the hotel concierge said there was a 55% chance of seeing the sunset. We actually got lucky and witnessed a stunning sunset from Danxia Peak! The next day was perfectly clear, and in the morning, the hotel organized a sunrise viewing for guests. We saw the sunrise from Mushroom Pavilion – truly amazing luck! A special shout-out to the hotel's breakfast as well. To enjoy such a rich and delicious breakfast on the mountain is a rare treat."

"The service was excellent, and the environment was superb. The courtyard is beautiful; being there in person feels much better than just seeing photos. Since we were on our honeymoon back home, the owner specifically helped us decorate the room. The owner/manager has excellent English and is very thoughtful and attentive. The only minor flaw was that the bathtub stopper leaked, so the water wouldn't stay in if you wanted to take a bath. It's not a big issue, just needs to be replaced."

"This hotel is the 'golden spot' for watching sunrises, sunsets, and seas of clouds, making for an absolutely amazing experience! No need to rush in the dark pre-dawn; the hotel entrance opens directly onto an unobstructed viewing platform. You can wait for the morning sun to break through the mist in the mountain breeze, watch the evening glow paint the river red, and if you're lucky, even witness the surging sea of clouds – an unforgettable and majestic sight. At night, the sky is filled with countless stars, and the mountaintop under the starlit sky is exceptionally serene and incredibly therapeutic. The service was also beyond expectations and incredibly thoughtful! Upon check-in, the butler proactively informed us of sunrise and sunset times, hiking routes, and even thoughtfully prepared seasonal fruits and warm clothing. They thought of everything, right down to raincoats for a rainy day and hot water after a hike."

"Very good hotel close to Huangshan mountain. We were pleasantly surprised at the size and comfort of the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet with dark curtains so we slept very well. Location is very convenient and the staff were very kind. Only thing the room was missing was a fridge. Breakfast was also very basic. Would recommend."

"We are tourists from Indonesia with very little Mandarin speaking ability. And we travel with a 5 years old. We choose this place to stay during our Huangshan hike trip with little expectation. Turns out, even with language barrier they managed to assist us beyond 5 stars! The communication started before our arrival, they checked on us and making sure we have easy journey to their hotel. They offer very reasonable price for pick up & drop off service to Huangshanbei Railway Station with a comfortable Tesla. I had a really pleasant stay at their hotel. I have travelled few places before but my stay at Shanyu is something very memorable to us, especially for my daughter. Their warmth welcome, smile, hospitality, and kindness are communicated through the beautiful bedroom (they upgraded our room!), environment (they have tea plantation at the back), and their cuisines are amazing!! We had dinner at their restaurants each night and we like it so much (including my picky eater daughter). On my hiking day, they caringly prepared us raincoat, climbing stick, and takeaway snacks. They even drop and pick us up on the Huangshan tourist center. The only regret we have is we stay for 2 nights only."

"Extremely satisfied with this guesthouse! It offers great value for money and is very close to Namdaemun Market. They provide private shuttle service to and from the scenic area entrance. The breakfast selection is also very rich and starts early, which is perfect for friends who want to get an early start on hiking."

"This hotel definitely has character, and it's all in the details. The facilities are on par with a 4-star hotel, including a pool and five hot spring baths. There's nothing quite like a hot spring soak after a hike – pure bliss! 👍👍 Many aspects of the hotel are also very thoughtful. The elevators have buttons for children/guests with special needs, and the shower rooms include a small stone slab for easier access. 👍👍 The rooms come equipped with a capsule coffee machine, kettle, air purifier, and a mini-fridge, plus a JBL smart alarm clock. The TV is a smart TV on a movable arm, and you can even watch movies for free – the ambiance is just perfect! 👍👍 The hotel's exterior is all white, giving it a super upscale feel. Many nooks and crannies inside also have more artistic flair than what you'd typically find in a 4-star hotel. Where else could you find such a hidden gem for under 500 [currency]? It's currently off-peak season, and they even upgraded my room for free – that's what I call great service! Z👍👍 I'll definitely be back if I get the chance."

"A couple from Guangdong came all the way to Anhui for autumn! They stayed in the best hotel room they've ever had – a 1.8-meter tatami bed for two, practically a presidential suite! The price was great, and with each of them having their own bed, they had a wonderful time, sleeping peacefully without disturbing each other! The room was huge, with floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful views. They also included several complimentary experience tickets, including a free travel photoshoot. The photos turned out amazing, capturing their best moments! This hotel is perfect for taking photos in everyday clothes; the photographer was great at guiding the shots, resulting in dynamic and natural-looking photos that we loved! The hotel's surroundings are great, the owner is from Xiamen, and he's excellent at providing service and quality. Most importantly, the staff are not only beautiful but also incredibly professional – I absolutely love them! The large swimming pool gives it a resort feel, and there's a large terrace perfect for taking photos. Oh, and the hotel is located halfway up a mountain, so taking pictures along the roadside creates a wonderful atmosphere. While the breakfast selection wasn't huge, the food was good. I suggest adding more variety next time, hehe 😁. We stayed at the same hotel at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, but didn't want to climb it, so we went back to the Hidden Retreat in Tunxi. They didn't have any rooms with two beds, but we booked the 78-square-meter courtyard villa, which we loved. They even gave us a great discount for extending our stay, which was really nice. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone from Guangdong! A true Guangdong native wouldn't lie to another Guangdong native, hehe. I also highly recommend it to friends from other provinces – it's great value! 🥰 The longest review I've ever written."

"We stayed one night at this hotel. It is adjacent to the main bus station, probably one of the best locations in the city if you want to visit the mountains. The desk manager was one of the most fluent English speakers we met in China, and he was incredibly helpful in guiding us and suggesting a plan to explore the mountains. He also explained how to buy tickets, where to go, and how to reach the train station. The hotel has its own restaurant, which doesn’t appear on Google Maps or Apple Maps. The food is good, and guests get a discount. While exploring the city we found plenty of restaurants, but we ended up coming back to the hotel’s restaurant twice because it was so convenient and good. If you’re not staying on top of the mountain itself (you should if you have the means) but at the base, this hotel is probably one of the best choices you can make."
