Hotel 4-Star di Anhui, China

The best hotel during my trip to China. The room was clean, well-organized, and new. The breakfast was excellent, delicious, and varied. The staff were extremely helpful. It was a snowy day, and they offered me hot water upon arrival and turned on the heating before I entered the room. On the second day, they kindly helped me arrange a taxi. Small gestures, but very important. By the way, I travel a lot and stay in a different hotel almost every day, but I truly felt the need to thank this wonderful staff. Mercure Hotels will always be my first choice.

I stayed at the Funley International Hotel in Hefei's Economic Development Zone, and overall, it was a great experience. The location is very convenient, with Metro Line 7 providing direct access to the hotel. There are plenty of attractions and shopping malls nearby; Huizhou Garden and the Oceanarium are right next door. A two-stop metro ride gets you to Sam's Club, and the Zhengda Plaza and Zhonghuan City offer a wide variety of dining, entertainment, and shopping options. The room was spacious and didn't feel cramped, and the cleanliness was meticulously maintained. The front desk staff were warm and polite; they even offered bottled water on a hot day. The restaurant's food was delicious, and with three meals included in the room rate, it offers excellent value for money and is definitely worth staying at.

Jiuhua Mountain comes as soon as you think of it! Before coming, I did some homework. There are old hotels on the mountain, and many design B&Bs have also grown up. And this one is the most emotional. As soon as the order was placed, the butler contacted us on WeChat and arranged for a car to pick us up when we reached the mountain. We ”rejected” the housekeeper's kindness and walked all the way into Jiuhua Old Street. When we were about to get lost in the dotted alleys, the B&B suddenly appeared in front of us. ”Alley”, as its name suggests, is hidden among alleys. The afternoon sun was just right. When we walked in, the snow that fell last week had not completely melted. The white walls and green tiles, a small courtyard, and a big tree shone in the warm winter sun. After getting familiar with the terrain, I found that the location of the B&B is very good, with major temples, the cable car to the Centennial Palace, and the bus to the rooftop for transfer all nearby. What also left a deep impression on me were the three young girls in the B&B. They were full of laughter, very cute, and felt like family.

Huangshan Baiyun Hotel truly lives up to its reputation as an excellent accommodation choice on the mountaintop! ✨ Its location is simply unbeatable! It's just a 10-minute walk to Bright Summit (Guangming Ding), making it incredibly convenient for watching the sunrise. You don't have to rush there in the early hours, which is a huge relief, especially if you're traveling with elderly family members or children. The entire hotel offers thoughtful and attentive service, and the staff are gentle and friendly. They patiently answer any questions you might have. After a tiring day of hiking, it's wonderful to return to the hotel and rest well. Given the difficulty of transporting supplies up the mountain, the facilities are quite good for a high-altitude hotel. Opening the window in the morning allows you to feel the mountain breeze, and you avoid the hassle of going up and down the mountain repeatedly. If you want to leisurely enjoy the sunrise and sunset of Huangshan, staying here is the best solution. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Huangshan!

The vibe here is truly special! The owners put so much heart into running this place. The rooms are spotless, and the moment you step in, you just feel completely relaxed. In the evenings, they invite everyone to the lobby for tea and conversation, serving delicious tea snacks and fresh fruit. For two days straight, they gave complimentary special drinks to the kids and homemade millet wine to the adults. It felt just like visiting a friend's house, and the kids absolutely loved it. All the food was fantastic – purely handmade and organic. The water they served was mountain spring water, and the air was so fresh. On our last day, we joined the owner for a sunrise trip to the tea mountain. The sea of clouds was breathtaking, and it was wonderfully cool. I highly recommend this guesthouse for its warm hospitality. I'll definitely be back with my girlfriends next time. Wishing the owners all the best with their business, and a big thank you to all the staff for two days of thoughtful care! ^_^

The hotel boasts a modern Chinese-style decor, with simple yet elegant rooms, new and smart facilities, clean and comfortable bedding, and a quiet, well-insulated room for a good night's sleep. The hotel's service and management are excellent, combining standardized management with a warm, home-like feel. It's conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the west gate of Hongcun Village and also close to Lucun Village. We got up around 6 am to go to Hongcun, returned to the hotel at 8:30 am for breakfast (a wide variety of options), rested in our room for a while, and then went to Lucun Village – it was incredibly convenient. Upon departure, the hotel gave us Huangshan sesame seed cakes as a souvenir, which touched us deeply and gave us a great start to our journey!

After hiking Huangshan Mountain, the hotel even arranged a shuttle for us, and there's a charging station in the parking lot across the street. We were so exhausted from a day of climbing that we decided to have dinner at the hotel, and to our surprise, it was really delicious! The only minor drawback was that the room felt a bit damp, but otherwise, it was nearly perfect.

The service was absolutely 5-star. Since my main purpose was photography, I received excellent advice from resident teacher Yao on the best timing and spots. Teacher Yao, who lives on the mountaintop, is more accurate than the weather forecast when it comes to predicting sea of clouds and sunrises. We stayed on the mountain for two days, and the forecast was for heavy rain or downpours. However, during the few brief clear intervals, we witnessed the spectacular 'Monkey Gazing at the Sea' sunrise, the vastness of the West Sea's sea of clouds, and the majestic panorama from Bright Summit.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, purely because of its location. For its spot, the amenities still offer great value for money. However, this time I booked a king room and was given one facing the street. My much-anticipated holiday, a relaxing mountain escape in southern Anhui, was ruined by a night of noise. I understand that the Yellow Mountain entrance/exit sees a lot of traffic, but the reality is I didn't sleep a wink. I'd suggest upgrading the windows on the street-facing side to high-standard, soundproof ones – it would make a real difference. The breakfast selection also seemed a bit limited. Overall though, it's still consistently good and remains one of the top-tier options in this town. These are my honest thoughts, hope they're helpful.

The front desk girl Vicky has a very good attitude, the hotel environment is also very good, the price is not expensive, you can also see the sunrise over the lake in the morning, it's great, I recommend everyone to stay at Ao
