Hotels in On the mountain, Huangshan

We stayed at Huangshan Baiyun Hotel for one night, hoping to catch the famous sunrise. Although it ended up raining (we later learned the area gets over 200 days of rain a year!), the experience was still absolutely worth it. We took the Yungu cable car from the back of the mountain and hiked about 4.5 hours to reach the hotel. While we originally planned to visit the Xihai Grand Canyon, we chose a shorter route due to the rain—passing Flying-over-the-Rock and Bright Summit. When we arrived, we were soaked, but the hospitality was immediate. Staff gave us bags for our wet gear and greeted us in the lobby with hot ginger tea—such a thoughtful and comforting gesture! The hotel itself was spotless and well-equipped. After checking in, Xiao Ye (小叶) led us to our room and introduced all the amenities: umbrellas, warm jackets for chilly mornings, a foot bath bucket, tea and coffee with a kettle, and my favorite—a clothes-drying heater. She also added us on WeChat, which made everything super convenient. Through WeChat, she updated us on weather conditions and available hotel services, including a complimentary 20-minute massage chair session. The buffet dinner and breakfast were both tasty with a good variety, and we enjoyed a lovely staff performance in the lobby that evening. Later in the evening, Xiao Ye surprised us with local Huangshan snacks and fruit—a small act of kindness that made us feel genuinely cared for and welcomed. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, the hotel made our stay feel warm and memorable. I’d definitely stay here again—hopefully next time under clear skies to finally catch that beautiful sunrise!

A much better hotel comparing to BaiYun hotel in terms of the condition of the facilities and rooms. It is just newer, better and serve better FOOD . But since Baiyun is located in the Front Mountain , and Xihai on the back mountain , one would still have to stay at BaiYun if they are planning to climb front mountain , and one have to stay at XiHai if planning to climb Back Mountain. Remember Huangshan is divided into 3 areas , Front , Back and DaXiaGu with 73 peaks in total ! If you dont mind the cost , XIhai hotel is the best hotel if you are climbing the Back Mountains. Note : Huangshan is just too big , you need to see the map and plan properly before attempting ! The photos i posted is the view from the hotel ! Also not forgetting manager 小聂 who been providing me with all the precious weather info , Thank u !

After walking across the whole mountain, i can safely say shillin had the most convenient location. Super friendly staff and fresh clean rooms. Even provided free utensils such as water and toothbrushes even though this was not promised due to the difficulty in transporting goods to the location. Went up to see the sunrise at the monkey peak which was amazing. Only minus is that the optional dinner was mid for a fairly high price, however this can be overlooked considering the circumstances!

Good size room and comfortable bed. Room provided sunrise watcher with 2 jackets, blankets and flashlight. Hotel have WeChat group keep you update on weather and time of sunrise. 小管家小夏is very helpful and informative, even provided good tips how to treat the knees and ankles after long day of hiking. Will definitely come again!

Great hotel to stay on the top of the montains. very close to the cable car and the main attraction. Be awere, you still need to walk quite a few stairs. perfect location, 5 on 5. Entering the lobby, the hotel is clean and the reception was helpfull. They have a balcony for customer that has an amazing view. The hotel provided water bottles in the room. They also offer sunset tour. For the service, 5 on 5. their staff are nice ! For the price point (1500 rmb per night) this hotel doesn't meet the 5 stars criteria as requested by wechat for their review ;) .The room are small, outdated and humid making it hard to keep the chlothes dry. They provided a fan to help with the temperature, since there is no AC. The walls had stain on them as well as the carpet on the floor. for this reason, facilities gets a 3 out of 5. Once the cablecar close, your only food option for dinner is their buffet at 160 rmb per person. it's good. but lot's of flies around the food and tables. cleanliness could be improved. Overall it was a great experience..

The room layout is good and the outside environment is beautiful. The service was considerate, they greeted us from a distance, and quickly contacted the porters and the cable car to the station when we left. The breakfast was unique, the dinner chef was very good, the ingredients were fresh, and the taste was excellent. In short, I was very satisfied with the experience and it is worth coming again. I drink Huangshan tea every day. Maofeng and Houkui are very delicious. The view of the sunset and rising clouds is unforgettable. Very beautiful cliff house, great service, very delicious meals, in short, a very worthwhile living experience in life~

The hotel is elegant in style, with coffee machines, massagers, humidifiers, tea bars, beverage counters, delicious pastries and fruits, good floor heating, good insulation and soundproofing, and customized large down jackets. Meals are available in set menus or a la carte, and can be delivered to the room while watching TV series. At night, my legs were sore, so I took a comfortable hot bath in the room, and then used a massager to massage my legs, which made me feel a lot more relaxed. The housekeeper service was meticulous, and made very detailed recommendations and introductions from the recommended routes up and down the mountain, weather conditions, things to bring, to delicious restaurants. The location of the hotel is also great, halfway up the mountain. I went out at 6:20 in the morning and walked for about 20 minutes, and just saw the sunrise 🌅. After breakfast, I checked out and got two small boxes of tea souvenirs. It was a very satisfying accommodation experience, recommended~

The room is a bit old, which is understandable because it is on the top of a mountain. But the service is very good. The lady is very enthusiastic and answers all your questions. You can watch the sunrise in the room and avoid the cold. If you are naked, you are already invincible.

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

Facilities: The hotel has complete facilities and is properly equipped.
