Xihai Hotel

The hotel has a good view, it's clean and the service it's good. The cheaper rooms (considering the price on the mountain goes around 1000RMB) are in the older building (B). At night, they prepare a few performances to entertain the guests. Notice that the check in is done in the building A.

The hotel’s location is fantastic—perfect for catching sunrise and sunset, and just steps away from Xihai Great Valley and Danxi Peak. Rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. Reception staff are very helpful, sharing weather updates, maps, and hotel details via WeChat. We stayed in arewa B and check in and resto are in area A. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The buffet dinner felt bit pricey, so we opted for the à la carte menu, which offered plenty of plant-based choices. Jackets and torches are provided for guests, which is a thoughtful touch. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended!

We were allowed to check in early at 11 am. It took us 1 hour and 20 minutes to hike to the hotel from the Yungu Cable Car, which wasn’t too strenuous. We requested, and got a Mountain View room, facing the front, at the very end. Our room was large, clean,  nicely-furnished, and comfortable. I don’t think the mini fridge worked. The path to the Cloud Dispelling Pavilion was pretty short and easy, so we spent a lot of time there. We saw the Sea of Clouds and the sunset. The dinner buffet, which was pretty good, was crowded from 5:30 to 6:30, but uncrowded after 7. There was a 20-minute show at the front at 7:30 pm. The breakfast buffet was OK. The hotel was pretty busy, and there were a lot of tour groups.

Place was convenient as it was in the middle of the mountain scenic points. But the section B was old and not that clean.

Great stay on Huangshan mountain, great access to route on the mountain. Dinner buffet are delicious.
