Huangshan Paiyun Hotel

Very nice and clean hotel though it is a bit small. Very good service especially 小吴 who helped me with the Huangshan routing even before I booked the hotel. It has restuarant and a common space for movie. Very satisfied with the hotel About 4h hike from Yuping cable car to hotel. Or about 1.5h walk from Yungu cable car.

The hotel was very clean, and the staff were extremely friendly.

What We Liked Service staff were very warm and friendly, and there's a WeChat where they update on sunrise timings at the nearby Danxia Peak. The path to Danxia peak was well lit even at 4am, and the room comes with thick jackets and a torch light for you to bring along. The staff made all the difference in our stay as they genuinely wanted to ensure our stay was enjoyable. As it is the closest hotel to Danxia peak, it is very convenient to get to within 20mins for both sunrise and sunset. However if you are looking to catch the sea of clouds, it is much further away. What We Disliked The room layout is quite odd, and our "window" faces the corridor and into the next unit. This meant that sound is very audible even with the window closed. But if the window is closed, there's no ventilation and makes the room uncomfortably warm. I guess it's not an issue on colder nights. If you manage your expectations that this is a hotel on the mountaintop, where heavy goods are hand carried by workers it is ok.
