Huangshan Lotus Hot Spring Hotel

Great service at the hotel and very cheap fpr the quality. It’s also very close (walking distance) to the bus station for the South Entrance to the mountain. Unless you stay on the mountain itself I would assume this is the best hotel. We stayed in January. The ”hot springs” are great after a day on the mountain. The bigger outside pool was not in use, as would be expected.

We had an amazing time staying at the Huangshan Lotus Hot Spring hotel. The hospitality was incredible and a very convenient location. There is a shuttle about 5 min walk away from the hotel that will take you to the Ciguang Pavilion/Yuping Cableway to begin your hike up Huangshan (required to take this shuttle to visit Huangshan as taxis are not allowed up there). There are also plenty of restaurants, convenience stores across the street to buy snacks for the hike. The hotel has every amenity you could need: breakfast, dinner, massage. The hot spring itself is very clean and relaxing. If you're coming to Huangshan, I'd highly recommend you stay here the first night and then wake up early to catch the first shuttle up the mountain (starting at 6:40 am).

We loved our stay at Huanghan Lotus. The staff are all very friendly and sweet, and communicative through chat apps even though we do not speak Mandarin. They helped us plan our route up and around the mountain, arranged a taxi for our return, and let us leave our bags here while we travelled up the mountain for a night. When we returned to pick up our bags, we decided to get a massage at the spa and they gave us both half an hour extra. About the room — we were upgraded and the room is gorgeous, beautiful wood and a very comfortable bed and shower etc. The hot spring is also very comfortable, the perfect way to unwind. We will definitely choose this hotel the next time we visit. Highly recommend!
