Qiyun Shanju Hostel

This hotel is pretty much the closest you can get to the scenic area! For hotels around Huangshan, if your room isn't on the ground floor, an elevator is absolutely essential – anyone who's hiked there will understand why! But the service truly deserves special praise! During check-in, they provide a super detailed explanation of the Huangshan hiking routes, which was incredibly helpful! Huangshan's paths are notoriously complex, so this guidance alone justified the room rate. What's more, if he had the time, the owner even offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off from the South Gate transfer center! They also lend out hiking poles for guests to use! Seriously, what more could you ask for? This place is absolutely fantastic value! Highly recommended.

Fantastic service, and the owner was incredibly kind! They even provided walking sticks and gave us a map with clear directions. The hotel itself was very quiet and peaceful, which was exactly what I needed.

I booked this hotel based on its excellent Ctrip ratings, and it definitely didn't disappoint! The service was great, the room was quiet and spotless. Most importantly, its close proximity to the Xiaoyao Stream Transfer Center made getting to and from the mountain incredibly convenient. A special mention goes to the owner of the ground-floor restaurant, who always greeted us with a big smile. Plus, the food there was absolutely superb!

The guesthouse was spotlessly clean. The hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming. Their restaurant served absolutely delicious food, especially the authentic Anhui cuisine. It's also conveniently located very close to the South Gate of Huangshan Mountain.

The room is quite spacious. It's just a 6-minute walk to the scenic shuttle bus stop, and you can even catch a glimpse of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) in the distance. There are restaurants conveniently located downstairs. Plus, it has a tatami area, which is great for families with kids. And to top it all off, it offers excellent value for money!

I booked this hotel based on its high ratings on Ctrip, and overall, I was quite satisfied. Huangshan had been experiencing heavy rain recently, making the climate quite humid. The hotel is conveniently located at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, just a few minutes' walk from the South Gate, which makes transportation incredibly easy. However, perhaps due to the prolonged plum rain season, the room felt a bit damp, but the bedding was very clean. Additionally, the room featured a small courtyard with a nice view. Most importantly, the service was exceptional! The host was incredibly helpful. As it was my first time visiting Huangshan, I was a bit unsure about planning my trip. Coincidentally, after a period of continuous rain, today was a rare sunny day, which meant the crowds were absolutely massive – I heard it was the busiest day of the year so far. The host sat down with us face-to-face to help us plan our itinerary and even arranged a guide and a bus for us. Our entire trip was completely stress-free. What's more, the guide wasn't overly expensive or exploitative at all; on average, each person paid just over 20 yuan, and for a few of us, the total guide fee was only slightly over a hundred yuan, which is truly excellent value for money. The host also offered free rental of hiking poles and other equipment. The service was absolutely superb!
