Hostels w: Anhui, China

Stayed here the night before we headed up to Huangshan. The owner was really kind and took his time to explain the hiking route on huangshan and gave us recommendations. The location is great, at just a 10 minute walk to the bus station to go up huang shan. The room was comfortable , spacious and cozy. When we came down the mountain, the owner offered to pick us up in the rain. Highly highly recommend staying here!!

If you're visiting Huangshan and looking for a hostel, this is a great choice. You can see Huangshan Mountain from the backyard. Head out the door, and a short walk straight ahead will take you to the South Gate of Huangshan and the Xiaoyaoyou transfer station, where you can queue directly for the buses to Yuping or Yunguxi Cableways. They also have printed Huangshan maps available. The hostess is lovely and provides excellent service. You can also arrange car rides through her. I stayed here for two nights and met a British guy and an Italian girl. It was a joy to use my broken English to tell them about ways to explore Huangshan and answer their questions.

Location is good, walking distance to old town and bus station, the bed is spacious but could be more comfortable. I needed to wait about 15 minutes at the empty reception until checking in, and I had to be the one to ”make a move” and say I wanted to check in when someone arrived there, otherwise I would be just standing there at the reception with my backpack and no one would approach me or say anything. They give bottled water daily, though

First time staying in a hostel, and it was a fantastic experience! 👍 The front desk lady was super friendly and patiently answered all my questions. The owner even helped me carry my suitcase 🧳 upstairs. They offer free luggage storage at the front desk, along with complimentary bottled water and snacks. Plus, at 8 PM, they have a session where they explain the routes for hiking Huangshan and answer questions, which was very helpful.

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Environment: Good Service: Good. No need to say more about extending my stay multiple times, it was just that good. This guy is like a senior butler, extremely attentive and makes you feel right at home. Here you'll meet like-minded friends.

I stayed in Hongcun for two nights, and this hostel was the most gentle haven amidst the misty rain. The plum rain season washed every leaf until it glistened, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass. I stayed in a wooden cabin, and the rain pattered on the eaves all night, a simple white noise from nature. Falling asleep to the sound of rain felt like returning to childhood, a long-lost tranquility. In the evening, the owner played and sang folk songs for us on the ukulele, their melodies blending into the sound of the rain. Outside, a fine drizzle wove through the air; inside, the lights were dim and warm. I held a cup of hot milk tea in my hands (it was made with real milk, rich and sweet, not a perfunctory powder mix – truly delicious 😋). A small cat sat under the eaves listening to the rain, while I worked on crafts, the rustle of needle and thread accompanying the lingering music. Rain, hot milk tea, folk songs, a little cat, and handmade crafts – these beautiful words layered together unexpectedly created a nearly luxurious stretch of time. Even luckier, I met several pure-hearted girls here. The plum rain didn't trap us; instead, it brought us together. We chatted, shared stories, and exchanged smiles. Though we were strangers meeting by chance, we shared a brief and wonderful time. Scenery tends to fade, and photos will yellow, but those moments filled with warmth will not disappear. They settle deep in our memories, resurfacing suddenly on a weary evening in the future, reminding you: this world is worth repeatedly venturing into. Travel isn't about escaping life, but about making life broader. To encounter mountains, rivers, and seas; to meet gentle people; to meet the light and authentic self hidden by daily routines. Resting by the water, listening to the misty rain, Dreaming of Huizhou.

Recommended by a friend, the little girl at the front desk was very patient and taught us how to buy tickets and how to save physical strength to climb the mountain. The sanitation is also very clean, and the toilet is dragged brightly. I checked in earlier. Auntie said that she would wait for her to change the sheets and quilts. The little girl at the front desk also gave me a small biscuit to eat and let me wait for a while. I felt that the attitude was really super good. And the disposable toiletries here are also very complete. In the peak season, it is already a bargain to be able to set such a hotel at such a price.

The room was spotlessly clean, and the cleaning lady was incredibly kind and welcoming. The room was huge, practically my dream room. There was a giant projector screen in the middle; I could order milk tea and binge-watch shows in the evening – it was absolutely fantastic!

This homestay is cost-effective, convenient parking, spacious rooms, there is a restaurant downstairs, and it is convenient to eat. After coming out of the highway, it is Qishu Lake. The proprietress and the little girl are enthusiastic. It is a homestay worth staying in Hongcun.
