I'm writing this as a budget backpacker who stayed in the dorm room of the hotel, not the even more ridiculously priced rooms. The hotel is at the top of the mountain in a decent location. All hotels here take advantage of people wanting to stay the night so all drinks, food and accommodation are overpriced and you don't get... More

This hotel, which opened in 1998, is located at the foot of Lion Peak in the Yellow Mountain region. Essentially, it's at the top of a mountain, accommodates hikers and has a very high throughput of guests (few stay more than one night). Thus, we didn't expect much. Imagine our surprise, therefore, when we discovered a comfortable, genuinely four-star hotel... More

Hotel room is a bit small but did fit an adult and 2 kids. Beds are ok, room is warm during the winter. You just have to bring your own toiletries as they charged you if you use theirs. Food on the hotel is a bit expensive but porters have to carry them up every single day. You will bump... More

Stayed there is past December and it was a nice hotel. The rooms were a little small, but suited us fine. I get the compliantly about it being a 4 star hotel while most likely comparable to a holiday inn, but you are on top of a mountain, and porters must carry supplies to it on a daily basis. The...

This hotel at the top of Huangshan Mountain boasts a 4 star rating from the Chinese government, but would only rate 2 diamonds in the US on the AAA scale. First off, it's a bit of a hike (even if you don't take the scenic route) from either cable car station. You can hire porters to carry you in a... More

The service and attitude of the staff was very bad. Through our agency we had bought one night incl. breakfast, not buffet just simple table breakfast. When we came to ask where it was, they said that it was not incl. and that breakfast was never incl. in any room types. Back home in Shanghai I contacted the agency we... More

Beware of the double bed room! It's just slightly bigger than the bed it holds within. Get the twin bed room if you'd needed a little bit more space to move around. Service is minimum. Get up early to beat the crowd if you want breakfast.

They say this is the best hotel up in the Yellow Mountains ... don't get your expectations up! The government-run hotel caters to large tourist groups which is an experience in itself. Especially during dinner where we being the only group of two were asked to join a Chinese family at a large round table for 10. Actually, that was... More

Otherwise you will be disappointed. The breakfast is very average, the service is just so so and the room is very very small. Still it's one of the four four stars hotels on the mountain. Don't take the four star seriously. My first two days are in Beihai(North Sea) area, the location is good. Anyway, I am ok with it... More

I was prepared not to expect much on the summit and boy did this place deliver. Not cheap, in fact one of the most expensive places we stayed in China. Literally the tiniest room in history, internal facing. Room had water marks on carpet and a highly suspicious stain on one of the cushions. Gross. Bathroom so small you can... More
