The hotel rooms have a beat layout, are clean and quite comfy. We had a nice big shower, big comfortable bed and a projector! We had a balcony that was underused as it was kind of chilly in December but the heat was enough. The lobby/restaurant/bar area was quite inviting but a little bit drafty. They only turned one overhead heater on at a time and understandably both in the evening. Highlight was how accessible it was and the friendly hotel staff. We were near a bus station that took us to the Huangshan Hot Springs and we were the first stop in Tangkou Town coming back from our Huangshan Mountain hike. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and helped contact the hot springs to make sure our visit there would be hassle free and arranged a ride for us to the bus station where we could buy tickets and get up to Huangshan Mountain. The staff even sat with us for half an hour with a ma top help us plan our hike! The breakfast at the hotel was pretty good and there are quite a few Chinese style restaurants and shops nearby. Get snacks at the supermarkets as the food on the mountain is brought up by hand and can be two to three times the price it is in town. I would also recommend bringing your HDMI adapters to hook up phones or computers to the projector in room.…
This is perfect place to stay the night before going to Huangshan mountain. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well designed and clean room. Great value for money. The staff speak good enough English and provide good input on how to plan your days up on the mountain. On top of that they have western breakfast!
We stayed here for two nights in order to visit Emerald Valley and Yellow Mountain. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and arranged a driver for us who we went on to use several times. The location of the hotel is quiet but only a short walk from the restaurants and shops, making it a very convenient base. They have nice décor throughout the rooms and common areas and it was a pleasant space in which to have breakfast and a late-night drink. We have two suggestions: (1) The in-house menu could be a bit more Chinese fusion rather than purely Western (2) The shower area in our room was due for a bit of TLC Overall, the accommodation is outstanding value and the rate is less than half of what we would pay for an equivalent standard in Australia. We would also highly recommend you try their in-house teas - we liked them so much we purchased them to have with the breakfast!…
It is a small hotel, with two handicaps: there is no lift and the food menu quite limited. Anyway our stay was completely satisfactory. They solved and helped us in everything we needed or wanted. I wish every hotel staff would be half as helpful and as fluent in English. The room decoration is minimalist, the bathroom was big, clean and cozy. They can serve food any time of the day and the beers were the cheapest you can get served around. They even offered us to use their washing machine. We reccomend it to young people who want to climb but us, being elder people, found ourselves at home.
This is a fantastic little hotel. It is very modern and wonderfully clean. The hotel is two years old and has lovely fixtures and fittings. Beds are very comfortable and linen and towels are all really nice. There is hot water, a TV and a kettle, some rooms have balconies. The hotel is in the centre of the town in the shadow of the mountain and a short walk from the mountain first bus station that will take you directly to the cable car and ticket office. As many people have said, the very best thing about this hotel is the staff. All staff are really young , energetic and helpful. The real star of course is Timo, who speaks excellent English , he is the manager and not only will he collect you from the bus station on arrival and departure is an expert on the City and more important the mountain tracks. The mountain itself is stunning, it is all paved but is very challenging indeed, 6/7 or 10/11 hour hikes, ,mainly up and down stairs. Exhilarating and Challenging. The hotel has a bar, good coffee, and some food, there are about 50 local restaurants in the town serving great food. This is without doubt a fantastic option for the Town of Tangkou and perfect base for hiking- will be sorry to leave these lovely people.…
Timo & his staff were incredibly helpful & friendly during our stay. Rooms & hotel exceptionally clean & attentive to small details. Highly recommended for a few days visiting the mountain. Tangkou Town has an old world authentic charm!
I never write reviews online but this hotel and its staff deserves it. Timo and his partners run this inn with a great attention to service and detail. - they speak English - they helped me plan my entire entire stay and were helpful with every question I had - the rooms were well equipped, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated, with all needed amenities in the bathroom. - the bar/restaurant has basic "western" food which can be nice after spending a few days eating only Chinese dishes. - if you're travelling alone, their common area is also a good place to relax and socialize - I stayed there before and after spending one night on top of the mountain, leaving my suitcase at the inn. When I came back for my 2nd check in, my luggage was already placed in my room. Again, I highly recommend this hotel to anybody planning a trip to Huangshan Mountain! A lot of luxury hotels don't achieve this level of personalized service.…
We highly recommend this place to anyone who is heading to Huangshan hike. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They gave us a map and walked us through the route in details. We did exactly what they suggested and the hike was great. The room was equipped with everything. Instead of a TV we had a projector installed in our room, it was a nice surprise. The breakfast was okay, there weren’t a lot of people and people were quietly having their breakfast. Very nice atmosphere. I wish they had more food selections but we only stayed one night so that was okay. The overall experience exceeded our expectation. I will definitely stay here again.
Me and my brother have been backpacking through China for the last few weeks.This hotel was an oasis. The rooms were spacious and pristine. The staff couldn't do enough for us, they planned our route up the mountain, helped organise transport to our next destination and even drove us to the bus station. Brilliant people. Many thanks.
The staff were so friendly and helpful! They gave us advice about the town and mountain and even picked us up from the bus station! Rooms were lovely and well kept Breakfast every morning a and a nice modern bar- even a projector area to watch films Would 100% return again!
