We have no choice but to pay $150 a night at this run down hotel since there is hardly any other better choices on top of the mountain. We also understand everything including the clean towels are brought up by the porters. But what we can't accept it's the poor service by hotel staff. They all seem like they hate their job. Food at the hotel restaurant was very expensive and not good . The room carpet was dirty and and really hard bed to sleep in. We arrived toward end of Oct. and at night the temperature dropped down to low 40's and no heat in the room. When asked the hotel about turning on the heat they told us to use the extra blanket in the room to keep warm at night. No hot water until 7AM and the shower leaked everytime flooding the small bathroom. The only reason why I gave this hotel two stars because of the location. It's the only hotel on top of the mountain that is close to all the sightseeings. The other two hotels are worse in condition and farther away.

Despite being the "most stars" hotel in the Huangshan peaks, it was pretty poor in almost every way. Service was minimal and lackadaisical (for example, the bellhop who was supposed to show us to our room just took us to the base of the stairs, pointed up them, and turned and walked off). The room was small with minimal storing space and extremely hard beds; the carpet was quite stained in many places and the shower door was lacking seals so there were large puddles in the small cramped bathroom after every shower. The view out the window was of a nearby wall. It was pretty noisy, since the room doors were thin with a big gaps underneath. The one decent thing about it was that the room was clean (other than the stained carpet). They were surprisingly "cheap" in how they handled guests, despite being a quite expensive place for China; for example, you have to pay a substantial cash deposit for the electronic key card when you check in, the breakfast buffet had no juice, the room heat didn't come on until 6 to 7 in the evening (when it was near-freezing outside, and darn cold in the room), and they leave only one 1/3-size roll of very cheap toilet paper in the room each day, which wasn't always enough for us. (The second day, we asked the maid with the cleaning cart for an extra roll, and she wouldn't give us one, but told us to call "Customer Service" on the phone. We eventually just went to the convenience store downstairs and bought a normal-size, normal-quality roll ourselves!) At that time of year (October-November) there's nowhere to eat nearby except at the one restaurant in the hotel, which was quite bad. After the first night, we only ordered non-meat dishes because the meat was nearly inedible. The breakfast buffet was unappetizing, and there was nothing to drink except tea, awful coffee, and cola (in what would anywhere else be an orange juice dispenser). Still, being up among the peaks is far better than staying down the mountain and walking or waiting in lift lines every day, so the location was good. Next time, I'd try a different hotel up there, though.

Normally I would not pay usd140 to stay in a hotel like this. But up in huangshan where difficult for vehicle to reach and they said mostly men labor carried the furnitures etc up by foot so probably that's the normal price here. This is the nearest hotel from yungu ropeway. When we arrived at noon the lobby was full of tourist but check in quite fast. We were very lucky it was a sunny day as we were told the day before was raining. The room however was very standard and old. quite clean. But the worst part is no heater at all, not even an electric heat blanket and it was freezing at night. Food was super expensive on the mountain, in the hotel restaurant u hv to pay CNY 280 for a fish, the cheapest is CNY 60 for a vegetable dish. Cny 25 for a big bottle of mineral water is standard. Lucky we brought along some food like oatmeal, apples, and biscuits to save money.
The best part of this hotel is to see the sunrise you only need to walk about 50 m from the lobby. If I returned I probably will stay here again
