Hotels in On the mountain, Huangshan

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 !

Irreplaceable Location: Right near Guangming Peak, it’s the prime spot for sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds! Watching the sunrise requires no long trek in the morning, saving significant energy. Just a short walk (about 15-20 minutes) from the hotel door gets you to the best viewing point – friendly for families with seniors/children or anyone wanting to avoid exhaustion! Clean & Cozy Rooms: Mountain-top conditions are limited, but the room was exceptionally clean and tidy. The bedding was dry and comfortable (crucial in the humid high altitude!), and being able to take a hot shower and sleep soundly after a day of hiking was pure bliss. Window to a Fairyland: Our room window faced the valley. When mist swirled, it was like a fairyland, on clear days, we could admire the majestic, overlapping mountain peaks. Lying in bed enjoying the mountain views – it's totally worth it! Breakfast: The variety at the mountaintop buffet breakfast was impressive for such a high altitude. Getting a hot, filling breakfast like this at 1,800+ meters to fuel up for the day's adventures was absolutely essential and deeply satisfying! Special praise for Steward Huang(黄星华)! Her service was super warm and attentive, providing loads of practical information from check-in guidance to itinerary suggestions. Upon checkout, she thoughtfully gave us a small gift. While not expensive, this gesture felt incredibly warm and heartfelt.

Location at the top of the mountain cannot be faulted and close to quite a few scenic spots. They also organise sunset & sunrise tours for guests (min 5 people) and if there are enough people, a photography workshop. We didn't have enough people for the workshop which was a shame. Service and attention was top notch and very friendly staff (shout out to Mr Li, 李管家 who was extremely helpful with all our questions and provided suggestions on the hiking routes). The actual building is a little dated but it looks like they're carrying out works to make improvements. As it was after peak holiday season, they also upgraded our no window room booking to one with a window. 👍

What We Liked Service staff were very warm and friendly, and there's a WeChat where they update on sunrise timings at the nearby Danxia Peak. The path to Danxia peak was well lit even at 4am, and the room comes with thick jackets and a torch light for you to bring along. The staff made all the difference in our stay as they genuinely wanted to ensure our stay was enjoyable. As it is the closest hotel to Danxia peak, it is very convenient to get to within 20mins for both sunrise and sunset. However if you are looking to catch the sea of clouds, it is much further away. What We Disliked The room layout is quite odd, and our ”window” faces the corridor and into the next unit. This meant that sound is very audible even with the window closed. But if the window is closed, there's no ventilation and makes the room uncomfortably warm. I guess it's not an issue on colder nights. If you manage your expectations that this is a hotel on the mountaintop, where heavy goods are hand carried by workers it is ok.

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 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~

Hotel is at a convenient location where you can end your hike at for the day. Value for money as you get to view the sunset, star-gaze and see the sunrise all in one location! Receptionist Hu Shan was extremely helpful and even sent us messages on Weibo to alert us of the sunset/sunrise timings. 酒店的地点非常方便。上了山就能立刻休息。也能在酒店的台阶看日出日落，还能看银河!! 前台小姐胡珊也帮了我们不少- 在微博上给我们发消息让我们知道日出日落的时间。非常感谢！

A 3-generation family of 6 visited Huangshan for 3 days, Yupinlou was our 1st stop. Because of the weather, we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor as wishes, but we received very considerated services from the staff. The front desk ladies provided us with the best 3-bed family room and added the 4th bed to accommodate us without additional fee. My son didn’t feel well, their staff provided valuable assistance, especially gentleman 徐海忠 provided soft rice and followed us through departure. Appreciated.

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

Service: The service is warm, thoughtful and considerate. The front desk staff Xiao Hu is dedicated and has high professional quality. Facilities: The hotel has complete facilities and is properly equipped. Hygiene: Hygienic, clean and tidy, cleaned up Environment: The surrounding environment is good and the transportation is convenient Convenient parking and rich breakfast
