Inns in Anhui, China

My stay in Tingquan Xiaoyuan has been absolutely delightful. I booked a long stay here as a retreat and break from the work and it is exactly everything I need to unwind and recharge. The guesthouse ran by a husband and wife team are so hospitable and go the extra mile to make sure my stay here is relaxing and I have everything I need to work and go about my day. The room i am staying in is very brightly lighted with a desk for me to work. I have to say the bed is also very comfortable and I have been sleeping well every night. The surrounding is so peaceful and tranquil, with gardens and flowers and mountain peaks in the distance. I am rather glad I am staying here in the valley instead of near the centre. In terms of service, the boss is very helpful and responsive to my messages when we need to ask any question or require a pick up after the hikes. The lady boss is similarly extremely friendly, warm and kind and ensure my needs and well being is looked after every day. She cared for me like her own family. I really appreciate them going the extra mile to help a foreigner like me who struggle with the language. I would strongly recommend this lovely and cosy guesthouse to any local and foreigner who is looking for an amazing visit to Huangshan for a few days or up to a month. They will ensure you are well taken care of and your stay is absolutely delightful.

This was our second time staying at this hotel, and once again, they went above and beyond to make our stay special. We requested a room with a good view, and they graciously upgraded us. The staff were incredibly helpful, assisting us with arrangements to and from the train station and even for our trip to Hongcun Village. We also appreciated the complimentary drinks and the thoughtful little gifts they prepared for us when we checked out. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so wonderful. We can’t wait to return!

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.

The accommodation has a free shuttle to/from the station, definitely a plus! It's only a 10 minute walk, but 10 minutes with heavy luggage is something you could miss. It’s a bit inconvenient that you have to call them to actually book the shuttle, because I don’t speak Mandarin and they don’t speak English, so a call would not be possible, but maybe that’s something that Trip could improve on. When I checked out, the lady told me (through a translation app) that she could drop me off at the station, which I was very happy about. When I checked in, I got a room upgrade as well. I was alone so I didn’t really need two beds, but the the huge room was very nice after all those bunk beds in hostels! They also offer a carpooling service to the ticket office/entrance of Huangshan for a good price! Just tell them the night before that you’d like to go to Huangshan and they will arrange a shuttle for you (mine was at 7 am in the morning and I just had to message them when I wanted to go back to the hotel in the evening). They can offer sightseeing tips, they can recommend you something to eat. Just ask and they will help you. Sometimes it was just a bit hard to communicate, the woman uses a translation app which works just fine, but the man doesn’t, he tries to explain everything in Mandarin by using gestures, writing it down in Mandarin … but then it’s obviously not easy to understand each other. That aside, they’re both so sweet and helpful. I would stay there again, if I ever come back! Side note, Trip does not give you the correct address of the hotel (in English). Whichever map app I used, it would send me to an open space in the street of the hotel. The hotel is actually located just a bit further next to a (very good!) restaurant, but just ask someone in the street and they will bring you to the reception of the hotel, if you can’t find it. 😉

Su House is not a regular hotel; it is history brought to life. The hotel is surprisingly located right beside the ancient town’s main gate, where the mystery begins. The moment you step through its entrance, you find yourself transported into another world. A lush water garden stretches before you, visually blending into the historic town square and the blue mountains beyond. Although the buildings are several centuries old, they have been thoughtfully restored and redesigned to offer all the comforts of a modern luxury hotel while preserving their original character. Staying here feels less like checking into a hotel and more like being an honored guest in the elegant compound of a noble family. The service is exceptional. Each guest is assigned a personal butler, and ours, Ellen, was simply outstanding. She assisted us with everything imaginable—from arranging transportation and handling in-house requests to booking restaurants in the next town on our itinerary. Nothing seemed too much trouble. More than that, Ellen felt like a younger sister to us—warm, caring, and always looking out for us throughout our stay. It is rare to encounter someone who combines professionalism with such genuine kindness, and she made our experience all the more memorable. The hotel’s restaurant serves refined Huizhou cuisine once enjoyed by the region’s wealthy merchant families. Every dish was delicious. All in all, Su House is a truly remarkable place to stay. It offers not only comfort and luxury, but also a rare opportunity to experience living history. From its beautifully restored architecture and serene gardens to its heartfelt hospitality, every detail contributes to an experience that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Highly recommended.

The hotel is located a stone throw away after alighting from the tourist bus at the entrance to scenic area (50RMB to n fro the foot of the mountain). Had already chatted with owner on WeChat n he fetched me after I alighted . Room is clean and functional . Am an easy traveller and very satisfied with the hotel. Of course you can walk around and look for a hotel (there are many many hotels !!!!!!) but I think if u pre book u will make your life easier especially if u have a luggage. He planned the itinerary for me. and it was a very fulfilling walking trip in nature visiting temples and paying respects to 地藏菩萨 . So many restaurants too!!!!!!!! He even sent me to the bus station . Thank u He is a kind soul . He quickly called me when he see me walking in “wrong direction” when actually i wanted to visit the temple next to bus stop .

Was pleasantly surprised to find such an authentic century old cluster of 4 buildings beautifully renovated with modern amenities and yet manage to create a Zen environment that has a historic vibe with a peaceful atmosphere of tree, shrubs, flowers and artifacts. It has a beautiful appointed common areas to relax in with individual rooms for tea ceremony, music, reading and more. The hotel is 40 meters behind the main pedestrian street with all the shops and restaurants but it is all quiet and tranquil in the hotel, like you just step back in time. The breakfast is a little spartan and limited choices. I was ok with coffee, eggs and toast, it has limited Chinese breakfast selection. But 40 meters away on the Main Street you will find Starbucks, Dairy Queen, and KFC in the same corner, that was a bigger surprise. A stay to remember, unique and a great way to relax and appreciate peacefulness after a day of sight seeing. The room is spacious, good bed, clean, has a kettle, mini fridge with high quality Chinese tea leaves to brew your own tea. Highly recommend place to stay in the area.

[English version bellow] Un business familial et ça se voit. Toute la famille est impliquée. À quelques minutes des bus pour la montagne n'hésitez pas à échanger avec les gérants pour avoir tout les informations. Magnifique vue sur la montagne. Je recommande le restaurant interne pour le petit déjeuner et pour un chaud repas en fin de journée. Petite épicerie sur place, idéale pour de l'eau avant d'escalader la montagne. N'hésitez pas à demander aux propriétaires pour organiser votre retour à la gare avec un taxi local. Cela vous coûtera moins cher que n'importe quel Didi. Le reste est classique et efficace. Grands lits, prises internationales, salle de bain avec tout le nécessaire. Et propriétaire joignable en cas de pépin. N'hésitez pas à prévenir si vous arrivez tardivement ! ENGLISH A family business, and it shows. The whole family is involved. Just a few minutes from the mountain buses, don't hesitate to chat with the managers to get all the information. Magnificent view of the mountains. I recommend the in-house restaurant for breakfast and a hot meal at the end of the day. Small grocery store on site, ideal for water before climbing the mountain. Don't hesitate to ask the owners to organize your return to the station by local taxi. It will cost you less than any Didi. The rest is classic and efficient. Large beds, international sockets, bathroom with everything you need. And owner reachable in case of a problem. Do not hesitate to let them know if you are arriving late !

Location: From Huangshan North Station, take bus No. 21 to Shangwucheng. Cross the street and the hotel is about two minutes away. The hotel is located next to Daizhen Park and adjacent to the old street, with convenient access to convenience stores and restaurants. Amenities: The room was very new, fully equipped, and clean. It features a smart home system, which adds to the convenience of the stay. We only wished the room had a small refrigerator to store food. Our family stayed here for a week and were very satisfied. We were able to take buses from the nearby bus station to various scenic spots in Tunxi. The owner was very friendly and attentive, and provided many valuable recommendations. I highly recommend staying here.

I had an outstanding stay at this hotel and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The service was first-class. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive and they made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I arrived. When I told them that I planned to hike 黄山 (Huangshan), they took the time to help me choose the best route based on my experience and preferences, offering valuable tips. My room itself was spacious, perfectly equipped with everything one needs and very clean. One of the highlights was the large window, which offered a beautiful view of the mountain range. Another absolute highlight is the rooftop terrace of the hotel. It is a wonderful place to relax after a long day of hiking, and it offers the best view of the mountain in the entire town. The location of the hotel is also extremely convenient, with several convenience stores and many restaurants right next to the hotel. The hotel staff can even arrange pick-up and drop-off at the next highspeed railway station with a cheaper fare than a regular taxi or a bus. I would definitely stay here again!
