Hotels in The Peak Of Mount Huangshan, Huangshan

Location is relatively close to bright summit (around 30 minutes climb). Room is clean, with heating and smart controls. Dinner and breakfast buffet was also included in my stay, which offered a good selection of food. The hotel interestingly offers a ”butler service” to guests, where they assign a staff to address questions/needs you have. The person assigned to me 星华 offered great service, checking in on my stay and providing some snacks for the road on the last night. Recommend staying here if you are looking for accommodation on huangshan.

Comfortable base for a sunrise run-and-gun. Staff added me to a handy WeChat feed that pushed real-time sunrise/sunset tips; thanks to that, Danxia Peak (20-min walk) delivered a great dawn view. Room was modern, warm, and clean; Wi-Fi and hot shower both fine. Food is flavourful and enjoyable but very “mountain canteen” and strictly Chinese—don’t expect pastries or espresso. Prices are high, as everywhere on Huangshan, but service is friendly and the views were great! Overall: solid choice if you want easy access to the peaks with hotel-level comfort. I’d stay again.

This is by far the most satisfying hotel I've ever stayed at. **Facilities:** The most remarkable feature is the hotel's powerful ventilation system. While other facilities were also excellent (and expected given the price point), even in our relatively compact room, after my kids enjoyed instant noodles and a hot pot, and all four of us dried our rain-soaked shoes, there was absolutely no lingering odor. **Service:** I truly appreciated the warm, yet professional service from every single staff member. The laundry and drying service, in particular, was a lifesaver in Huangshan's unpredictable weather, making it incredibly valuable. The hotel package also included mountain entrance and cable car tickets, which, despite the slightly higher price, made the overall stay feel like excellent value considering these bundled services. When we ordered wine, the server thoughtfully brought complimentary snacks. If there was one minor imperfection, it would be that some of the power outlets in the room were a bit loose, causing plugs to sometimes wiggle.

Room is cozy with everything you need. Better to stay overnight in mountain if affordable. Two days one night is a better itinerary for the tough walking trails. The room price is 3-4 times higher than the foot of the mountain. Good breakfast with reasonable spread of food. Near the sunrise spot. We started from Yungu cableway at 7am on day one, travel around the area and checked in the hotel. We woke up for the sunrise at 4:30 am. After breakfast and shower, we started our day two… quite tough for people not used to walk for a day ＞10 km with thousands of stairways…. 😅 we went down Yuping cableway around 4pm. We cover all the HungShan highlighted spots and very happy due to low peak travel season in China, less crowds. 😎

It's said to have just reopened in September of this year after renovations. After ascending the Yungu Cableway from the back mountain, it's a short, gentle staircase to the Beihai Hotel. Next to it is the ”Dream Pen and Flower” (Dream Pen and Flower). If you want to watch the sunrise, you can head to Shixin Peak, which is also not far away. The hotel staff were very warm, polite, and friendly, especially our housekeeper, Xinyu. We added her on WeChat before check-in and provided attentive and prompt service until check-out! The hotel's decor rivals that of a resort hotel, and the rooms include a capsule coffee machine, a leg massage chair, and a library. During my three-day, two-night stay, I enjoyed both lunch and dinner at the hotel buffet. The mountain hotel's lunch and dinner prices of 98 and 180 per person were quite good, which I found quite impressive! All in all, staying at the Beihai Hotel was definitely the highlight of my Huangshan trip!

This stay has completely reset my benchmark for domestic accommodation in China; it's currently my absolute top pick. I'm not sure whether to categorize it as a hotel or a guesthouse, but frankly, it doesn't really matter. It's located directly opposite Beihai Hotel, next to Mo Bi Sheng Hua, and right beside the police station. You'll find a discreet wooden door, easily missed, down a hidden path. Once you step inside, it's like entering a whole different world. The entire property is designed like a quaint little village, with all rooms thoughtfully nestled on the mountainside. All buildings are beautifully renovated historical structures. I booked the 'Yun Yi' room, which comes with a private courtyard featuring a small soaking tub. After a day of hiking, soaking in the tub to soothe tired muscles, with the stars and moon as your companions above, was simply wonderful. From the moment you book, you won't have to worry about how to get up the mountain or how to explore; your dedicated butler will arrange everything. They offer VIP access to the mountain: a driver will pick you up from your location at the foot of the mountain at the appointed time and take you directly to the cable car station, where you'll use the VIP lane to board without any wait. You won't have to concern yourself with the crowds at the South Gate or the queues for the cable car – none of that affects you. We visited on a Saturday during the summer holidays. The driver picked us up at 7:30 AM, and we genuinely arrived at Yunjia before 9 AM. You get the picture? While the room amenities and finishes might not rival the luxurious villas of Banyan Tree, Aman, or Six Senses, it's important to remember that the property is located within a scenic area, meaning construction and footprint are restricted. Moreover, every single item has to be carried up the mountain by porters from the foot of the mountain. However, the service here is absolutely exceptional – truly top-tier. It's not just one or two staff members who provide excellent service; it's the entire team. Their service is entirely proactive; guests barely need to voice a request as the staff anticipate your needs before you even think of them. This level of intuitive and attentive service is genuinely rare and incredibly difficult to achieve. Given that Yunjia's rooms are almost always fully booked during the summer, it's clear that the price isn't the issue when it's truly worth every penny. I will absolutely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Huangshan. Thank you, Yunjia, for an unparalleled and truly exceptional accommodation experience.

The Huangshan Shilin Hotel is very convenient for visiting the mountains, and they also organise trips to good viewing spots and some days photography workshops, in spite it was included in our booking there was not workshop that day. The hotel itself is not located at a very high altitude, and the sunset spot where the staff took us was not the best, the sunrise however was amazing (tour leave the hotel at 5:15 end of August) Dinner and breakfast are served buffet-style, with a variety of options, and are good, when we see the cross the poor Sherpas bringing the food up (as well as clean sheets, building materials etc.) we can complain about options. The hotel is a bit old, and there is no air conditioning, though this is probably not an issue in most seasons. The staff speak English and are very helpful, which makes things much easier for international visitors. It’s worth noting that a huge new high-end hotel is currently being built just opposite. Once completed, it will likely bring many more visitors to the area.

The location is absolutely unparalleled, right within the scenic area. Step outside, and you're greeted by the famous Guest-Greeting Pine (Yingkesong). Behind the hotel, you have an expansive view of the East Sea, making it the closest spot for sunrise viewing, all without the need for strenuous hiking up and down. The hotel thoughtfully provided dinner, which was quite delicious. Their mini hotpot was a delightful surprise; I never expected to enjoy such a comforting and warm hotpot up in the mountains. The small tea room at the back, overlooking the breathtaking scenery, is also a beautiful spot to unwind, whether you're waiting for someone or simply lost in thought. But my absolute favorite was sitting by the room's window, sipping tea, reading a book, listening to music, and simply soaking in the view. It was utterly sublime.

As a senior citizen, I took the Yungu cable car up Huangshan Mountain in the morning, then traversed through Shixin Peak, Ring One, and Ring Two to the Xihai Grand Canyon, before taking the mini-train up the mountain. After a strenuous climb, I finally reached Bright Summit Hotel to check in. To my absolute delight, I was upgraded from a corridor-facing room to a spacious room with two-sided views! I was absolutely overjoyed, beaming with happiness! What made it even better was the clear, sunny weather. The sunset could be enjoyed directly from the hotel's large viewing platform, and for sunrise, we only needed to walk about 50 meters. This setup was absolutely perfect for us seniors! The hotel breakfast was also very generous, offering milk and yogurt, and the fried rice was particularly delicious! On the second day, upon check-out, they even gave us candy and mineral water. Such a thoughtful gesture!

The first time I have such a desire to evaluate, the hygiene is really bad! I won't complain about hardware decoration, but the focus is on hygiene! Even in a homestay, shouldn't bedding hygiene be the most basic? The sheets and quilts have hair! It also looks dirty, although there is no smell, but I feel itchy all day long! The air conditioner is leaking and sprays water continuously, like rain, and the toiletries are also very poor. Choose carefully
