Hotel Romantic di Anhui, China

Pros: The location is incredibly convenient, the service is warm and attentive, and both breakfast and dinner were plentiful and delicious. The shoe dryer in the room was a lifesaver on a rainy day. We booked a deluxe triple room and were given one on the second floor. Although it's called the second floor, it's actually quite low, and the window faces a wall (Picture 1). However, the promotional photos showed a beautiful view outside the window, and I assumed that for the price, the view would be a major selling point. There was also a musty smell from the bed closest to the wall. Each room comes with a butler, and their service was very enthusiastic. After checking in, they sent many messages, offering afternoon tea, juice, massage chair service, and a performance (I didn't go to any of these because they all required leaving the room, and I was simply too tired and just wanted to rest quietly). Finally, they delivered a bag of fruit to the room. However, the musty smell at night was very unpleasant and kept me from sleeping well, so I really can't give a full five-star rating, I apologize ☹️ Still, thank you for the wonderful dinner and warm service~

Great location! It was easy to find, not far after entering Mount Jiuhua, and very close to the Baisuigong cable car and other attractions. The parking lot is also spacious. We stayed for two nights and received complimentary fruit each day. The service was excellent; they even helped us with our luggage. If I visit Mount Jiuhua again, I would definitely choose this hotel. It's really good.

The best decision I made on this trip was choosing this B&B! It completely exceeded my expectations; the actual place is even better than the photos. The location is very convenient, offering a quiet escape despite being in a bustling area. Every detail in the room showcases the owner's taste, from the quality of the furniture to the lighting of the bedside lamp, everything felt incredibly comfortable. The bedding was also very carefully chosen; even I, someone who usually has trouble sleeping in new places, slept wonderfully. Plus, the entire B&B is very photogenic; every snap turns out like a magazine shot. The owner (landlady) and the front desk staff were incredibly nice, everyone at the B&B was friendly and welcoming! The breakfast at the B&B was especially delicious, and you can also order lunch and dinner there. They offer noodles and home-cooked dishes, prepared by local aunties, and they're much tastier than what you'd find in outside restaurants – absolutely no regrets. I highly recommend this place to anyone who values quality accommodation!

During the National Day Golden Week, I took my child to climb Huangshan Mountain. Luckily, we stayed one night on the mountain. In the morning, we slept in until we naturally woke up at the foot of the mountain, then took the Yungu cable car up, avoiding the large crowd of day-trippers from Yuping in the South Gate. After about an hour's leisurely walk from the cable car station, we could first go to the hotel to drop off our luggage, freshen up, and then head to Danxia Peak for the sunset. The hotel service was excellent. For check-in, there was a dedicated one-on-one butler who added us on WeChat and provided guidance on dining, performances, and viewing the sunrise and sunset. The butler even personally escorted us to the elevator to Building B. The room wasn't small; although it's an older hotel, it didn't look run-down. Prices were a bit higher during the Golden Week, but considering all supplies on the mountain are carried up by porters, it's understandable. I'd recommend staying at a good hotel, and for food, you can bring some instant meals yourself.

This guesthouse is located right inside the scenic area, making it super convenient for resting after an evening stroll. The decor is charmingly traditional, perfectly complementing the Huizhou architectural style. The guesthouse itself feels like an integral part of the scenic area, featuring a garden restaurant and a coffee bar where you can even pet cats. The owner is fantastic, offering luggage pickup and drop-off services right from the bus station. It's a highly recommended place to stay.

I came for the location to catch a sunset and sunrise over huangshan and the hotel is perfect for that. The cozy solo room had everything I needed and a nice view to top it up. The hotel is super confortable and provides everything you need including warm jackets and torchlight for sunset / sunrise viewing (meaning you don't need to bring any of it with you on the mountain, I wish I had asked before). The concierges were super helpful and gave me advice for sunset /sunrise viewing (the hotel also provide the local weather forecast including time, visibility probability and sea cloud probablity), all of which less than 20 minutes away from the hotel. I was to catch both and then come back to the hotel for dinner / breakfast (both of which were very good with a wide variety of dishes). Everything (room and dinner) was pricier than in other cities but given the location at the summit and the benefits of enjoying the mountain late afternoon and early morning without the huge crowds of the day, it was worth every single euro and allowed me not to rush the trip.

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.

Banyan Tree Huangshan 💚 For my dad's birthday, the hotel prepared a delicious strawberry mousse cake! We couldn't finish it because the portions were so generous 😋. There are three peacocks 🦚🦚🦚 in the courtyard (they are super smart and will come right up to you for food), and the scenery from the balcony is picturesque (the sunset was absolutely stunning) ❤❤❤. The entire hotel is filled with the Banyan Tree's special essential oil scent, and there's an essential oil diffuser in the room too. During check-in, the butler offered Huangshan Maofeng tea and special pastries and then introduced the hotel's evening ceremonies: 'A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance' and 'Intangible Cultural Heritage Iron Flower Display' ✨. Even though I've seen them many times on TV, the shock of seeing them in person is still indescribable!!! We also received evening gifts: a small Banyan Tree turtle doll and cookies. Since it was a birthday celebration, the Baiyun Restaurant reserved a central scenic table with breathtaking views. The hotel's signature dishes — Huizhou Maofu Tofu, Huizhou Smelly Mandarin Fish, and Huizhou Daobanxiang — were all incredibly delicious and perfect with rice! 😋😋😋 The important thing is that they weren't spicy at all! I feel like this is probably the best hotel in Huangshan City at this price point! Finally, a shout-out to our butler, Amy!

The room was nice, the service was great. The lady boss invited us to drink tea, she has her own tea garden, we drank Taiping Houkui, it was good! We were lucky this time in Huangshan, we saw the beautiful Huangshan, my daughter and son liked it, the fish in the boss's house was very fresh, the food was refreshing, we ate at the boss's house! I will come again if I have a chance

Comfortable stays and delicious food are already the least noteworthy things about Shuguangli. This is the first review I've ever actively written, and unlike the perfunctory ones requested by other hotels, every sentence comes from the heart. Every butler at Shuguangli is incredibly warm and thoughtful. They remember even casual remarks and surprise you at unexpected moments. We originally planned for one night on the mountaintop, but after experiencing the warmth of Shuguangli, we decisively extended our stay for another night and even invited our friends from downhill to join us. The butlers try their best to fulfill every request; their common refrain is, ”Just let us know if you need anything at all.” I must also specially mention two unique butlers, the cat Yun Dou and the dog Yun Bao, who also warm every guest with Shuguangli's hospitality. I'm already looking forward to reuniting with the 'family' here, probably in winter~
