Hostels in Anhui, China

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. One thing that impressed me the most was that they could communicate in English, which made everything much easier for foreign travelers. The service was excellent from check-in to check-out. Whenever I needed assistance, the staff responded quickly and professionally. They genuinely cared about their guests and made me feel comfortable throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this was one of the best hotel experiences I have had during my trip. I would definitely stay here again in the future and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to all the staff for your kindness and outstanding service!

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

I visited Mount Huangshan solo in the autumn. As the first stop of my hiking trip, the beauty of Mount Huangshan goes without saying. What's even more rare and wonderful is finding such a cozy place to stay right at the foot of the mountain. During my two-day stay at Kunlun Youth Hostel, I got great rest which gave me plenty of energy for the hike. The amenities and facilities are well-equipped, to start with. But what truly blew me away was the exquisite decoration of the common areas. The service attitude is fantastic; they provide free earplugs, bottled water, Huahongyou (pain-relief tincture), and trekking poles. Plus, it's very close to the Xiaoyaoxi Transfer Center—just a 10 to 20-minute walk away. Their dog, ”Haidao” (Pirate), is super cute and adorable. My roommates were also very considerate, switching to quiet mode early to ensure a good night's sleep for hikers. All in all, this place offers incredible value for money and wonderful human touch. If I ever visit Mount Huangshan again, this will undoubtedly be the top choice for backpackers and students, as well as my own go-to place. Mount Huangshan is a truly unforgettable place. (For the interior environment, you can refer to the photos taken by previous guests—they are unfiltered and completely trustworthy. I didn't take any pictures myself, but every word here is true and comes straight from my heart.)

I rarely write reviews, but this place is truly amazing! The staff are incredibly kind. The room I originally booked was a bit old, and since I was a solo female traveler, they thoughtfully moved me to another room. It was very clean, tidy, and odor-free, with all the amenities I needed. Even though I only stayed one night, you could genuinely feel the attention to detail from the moment I arrived until I left. For instance, many B&Bs and even hotels have hair dryers that blow super hot, making them uncomfortable to use, but here they have Xiaomi hair dryers which are infinitely better. Another example: one evening it was a bit windy, and I hadn't brought a jacket, so one of the staff members offered me his own. The next day, he even gave me a ride on his scooter to catch the bus! And when I checked out, he gave me two bags of Huangshan shortbread, among many other gestures. I could go on and on! Honestly, it’s no exaggeration to say this was the warmest and most welcoming stay I've ever had away from home!!

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!

The room felt great, very spacious and comfortable. The downstairs location was super convenient for transportation, and it was really close to the pedestrian street. The projector worked well too, and customer service was very patient with their replies.

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.
