Hostels w: Anhui, China

Facilities: The hotel has everything you could possibly need. Cleanliness: The room was spotless, and the entire hotel is decorated with great style. Environment: The room decor has an industrial feel, and the lobby on the first floor is perfect for photos. They also offer cocktails, coffee, beer, music, booth seating, a reading nook... At night, it feels more like a rustic foreign pub. There's also an incredibly cute, chubby tabby cat that the owner adopted. During my stay, there were many foreign guests, and the owner and staff spoke excellent English, communicating entirely in English. The owner is very thoughtful; before my hike, he was worried I might scrape my hands and gave me two band-aids, which were a real lifesaver! Trekking poles were available for free use, and he even proactively lent me a flashlight for fear of it getting dark on the way down, and recommended restaurants popular with locals... Although I only stayed for 2 nights, the experience was fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Plus, the location is excellent! It's just a short walk to the transit center. After a hike, there's nothing better than being able to walk a few steps and be back at the hotel!

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

This hostel is truly exceptional nationwide, offering incredible value for money, and better service than even much larger chains like Atour or Ji Hotel. Planning to hike Huangshan? At 8 PM, there's a fantastic, half-hour briefing on the Huangshan routes. I'd arrived from Shangrao, heading straight for the Celestial Capital Peak, and just went with the flow. After the briefing, I understood everything and received great advice. No hiking gear? They provide free trekking poles – just grab one! If you're in a rush, you can even take it with you, just return it later for others to use. Forgot supplies? They have everything you need for hiking – food, gear, gloves, you name it. Worried about prices? They're cheaper than any supermarket outside! Best of all, water is complimentary; grab as much as you need as long as you're not too tired from hiking. Solo traveler with no friends? After the 8 PM briefing, you can easily team up with others. There's no shortage of groups here! While other hostels have dormant chat groups, this one is vibrant and truly fosters a communal, friendly atmosphere. Worried about checking out after only one night if you're hiking all day? Just leave your room card at the front desk in the morning before your hike, store your belongings in the communal luggage room, and pick them up after you descend. That's exactly what I did. After a sweaty hike, I planned to pay for a shower before leaving, but the owner told me I could shower for free! He even offered me a bottle of water before I left! The location is superb. In the morning, it's just a 15-minute walk to the Xiaoyao Stream transfer station. After descending, it's only a 5-minute walk back from Tangkou Bridge. I've stayed in nearly 30 hostels across various cities and provinces, including Atour and Ji Hotel, but this one left a lasting impression. If I ever return to Huangshan, even if other places cost tens of yuan a night and this one hundreds, I would still only consider staying here. I'm truly grateful to the owner for allowing me to clean up after my hike without having to extend my stay. The last two pictures confirm the authenticity of this review.

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.

This hotel was very clean and comfortable. It is nearby to Tangkou (5 minute drive) where you can get the bus to Huangshan. The owner of the hotel was very kind and helpful - she helped me buy all my tickets for Huangshan which as a foreigner I was not able to do myself. Also she dropped me off and picked me up from Tangkou for free. The hotel serves food which is tasty and reasonably priced. I had an excellent stay at this hotel and would recommend it to both local and foreign tourists!

This hotel boasts a fantastic location with excellent surrounding amenities; a large shopping mall is just across the street. What I appreciated most was the Hema Fresh supermarket inside the mall – incredibly convenient for dining. The customer service representative was very welcoming and proactively upgraded my room. The room was spacious, fully equipped, and even had a washing machine. Special praise was due to the bedding and incredibly comfortable pillows. The hotel was also impeccably clean. In short, this hotel excels in location, amenities, service, and cleanliness.

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.
