Boutique Hotels in Anhui, China

After getting caught in the rain during our Huangshan trip, we arrived at Baiyun Hotel near Bright Summit around 4 PM to check in. Thankfully, Baiyun Hotel was incredibly thoughtful, offering clothes drying, hot ginger tea, and even late-night snacks with fruit. They also had entertainment and massage options available. All the warm service truly helped wash away the exhaustion from the rain – we were so grateful! Our family was deeply impressed by the hotel's service and definitely give it a high rating. And to be able to enjoy such a rich buffet breakfast and dinner high up in the mountains was truly something to be thankful for. 🙏

This Hilton hotel, located in one of Wuhu's landmark twin towers, is incredibly beautiful. Hilton's maintenance standards consistently surpass competitors, and I really appreciate the sense of stability and tranquility here. The corner room is very spacious, offering unparalleled views of both the river and the twin towers at night. I'm so glad Wuhu's landmark is so well-maintained. I hope to stay here again on my next trip back to China. By then, once the Jihe Plaza downstairs is renovated, I doubt we'll see such great prices! Additionally, the room service and the offerings from the pastry shop were excellent. If you're not overly concerned with the fitness facilities, this is undoubtedly the top choice in Wuhu.

The room quality is excellent. They thoughtfully provide a clothes drying rack, down jackets, and raincoats, which are perfect for Huangshan's characteristic rainy and misty weather. The hotel's location is at the junction of the Xihai, Beihai, and Tianhai (Bright Summit) areas. It's about a 15-minute walk to Paiyun Pavilion for sunset and Danxia Peak for sunrise. Reaching the traditional sunrise viewing spot at Bright Summit takes about 45 minutes. It's very suitable for guests planning a day and a half or two-day itinerary. There are also special performances in the evening. The hotel's buffet quality is also very good. In addition to traditional Chinese and Anhui specialty dishes, there are also some Western-style options, making it very friendly for international tourists.

Great location, service and staff. A lot of restaurants and bars near by. Hotel is very luxurious and great for all types of travels.

Honestly, for a hotel on a mountaintop, there's absolutely nothing to complain about! Northern Sea Hotel has been recently renovated, so all the facilities are brand new, and the service is top-notch. There's no dampness in the room at all, the provided down jackets are very thick, there's underfloor heating throughout, and the bedding is super comfortable. The room isn't huge, but the layout is incredibly clever, and I love the design style. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet style. While not cheap, the variety of dishes for both meals is quite extensive. The taste is just average, but considering we're on a mountaintop, everything is forgivable. For watching the sunset and sunrise, there's a butler who leads guests. They send daily updates via WeChat about the sunrise and sunset times and meeting points, which is very convenient. The closest spot for sunrise from here is 'Monkey Watching the Sea,' and honestly, trudging there at 4 AM was a bit tiring 😝😝😝. The only minor thing was when I asked the front desk for three bottles of water on my second day, they said they could only provide two for free and the third would be charged. I thought about it and understood, as getting supplies up the mountain isn't easy. All in all, the experience was fantastic, and if I ever come back, I'd definitely choose this place again! 🥰🥰🥰

Overall, my stay at this hotel was great. It's super convenient being so close to Hefei South Railway Station. Plus, there's a large underground parking lot that's free to use. The room was spacious – I booked a king-sized bed and they upgraded me to a room with a bathtub. They even provided a complimentary bottle of red wine, a steam eye mask, and a bathtub liner. The smart home features throughout the room were a nice touch, and I appreciated the high-quality hairdryer provided. It was also cool to see them offer Luan Guapian tea, which is a local specialty. The breakfast buffet had a good variety, covering everything from drinks to fried foods and stir-fries. The service was quite attentive too; they even offer laundry service, which was a lifesaver – I had an attendant iron my shirt for me. I'd definitely choose to stay here again if I come back to Hefei.

Hands down, this is the best five-star hotel in Hefei! Especially the food quality, it's top-notch! 1. **Service**: They contacted me via WeChat a day in advance to confirm my needs. Upon arrival, everything was perfectly arranged, and my room was upgraded. I also received welcome fruits and drinks. From the moment I stepped out of the car to the lobby and then to the front desk, multiple staff members proactively offered to help with my luggage. Every staff member I encountered, from the entrance to my room, greeted me with a smile. When checking out, the doorman actively assisted with my luggage. 2. **Facilities**: The room facilities were all standard and complete, including an air purifier. The AC had low noise, and hot water was instant (within 3 seconds). I didn't find any damaged facilities or noticeable hygiene issues. The toiletries were InterContinental's standard, and they were decent. The toilet paper and tissue paper were comfortable to use. The toothbrush quality was acceptable, but the brush head was small and a bit hard on the gums; I suggest the hotel consider changing them. 3. **Dining (see pictures)**: The variety and taste of the food at the Executive Lounge's Happy Hour were the best I've ever experienced at a hotel – truly excellent value for money! The breakfast quality was also remarkably high, rarely seen even in standard five-star hotels; it was simply stunning. 4. **Location**: It's in the government district, with all amenities nearby and convenient transportation. It's also right next to Swan Lake, offering excellent views. I rarely bother to write reviews, but this time, I genuinely enjoyed my stay and had to give it a thumbs-up! I hope to visit again.

The overall experience of the hotel is particularly good, the location is excellent, and it is very convenient to travel and go shopping. The lobby is clean and atmospheric, the check-in efficiency at the front desk is high, and the service is warm and polite. The rooms are clean and spacious, the decoration is simple and high-end, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the sleep is particularly stable. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, the toiletries are complete, the hot water is sufficient, and the sound insulation effect is also very good. The breakfast is rich in variety, tastes diverse, clean and hygienic. The cleaning service is timely and intimate, the overall price is very high, the stay experience is full, and I will choose this one next time!

Where to stay in Luyang District? Shangri-La, of course! Don't ask me how I know, I've experienced it firsthand (quiet, clean, and fully equipped). The rooms are quite spacious, just a bit dated in terms of decor. They could definitely add an air purifier. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it's peaceful, which I really like. The coffee is decent, though there aren't many Western breakfast options.

Finally, we were able to experience the Grand Hyatt Hefei during this spring break, and it was a wonderful 2-night staycation! The Regency Deluxe Twin room was perfect - very clean, spacious, well appointed and with great city views. We enjoyed the onsen style bath in the room; the pool, steam and sauna facilities were all good. Room service was great, satisfying the midnight cravings of my family. Breakfast had an awesome spread - a balanced variety of local and western dishes. Dinner and drinks at the Club Lounge were pretty good, even for vegetarians. Drink selection was curated very well even if a bit limited. It was a great place to hang out after dinner and drinks, especially after we convinced our family friends to check in and join us the next nigh. Also, shoutout to the great service from the lovely club lounge staff! Special thanks to Lily, our WeChat contact, who went above expectations in being proactive and supported all our needs. We brought up something for improvement that aligns with current industry practice and she happily resolved it during our stay. Great customer service for sure!
