Hostels in Anhui, China

"This hostel is truly exceptional nationwide, offering incredible value for money, and better service than even much larger chains like Atour or Ji Hotel. Planning to hike Huangshan? At 8 PM, there's a fantastic, half-hour briefing on the Huangshan routes. I'd arrived from Shangrao, heading straight for the Celestial Capital Peak, and just went with the flow. After the briefing, I understood everything and received great advice. No hiking gear? They provide free trekking poles – just grab one! If you're in a rush, you can even take it with you, just return it later for others to use. Forgot supplies? They have everything you need for hiking – food, gear, gloves, you name it. Worried about prices? They're cheaper than any supermarket outside! Best of all, water is complimentary; grab as much as you need as long as you're not too tired from hiking. Solo traveler with no friends? After the 8 PM briefing, you can easily team up with others. There's no shortage of groups here! While other hostels have dormant chat groups, this one is vibrant and truly fosters a communal, friendly atmosphere. Worried about checking out after only one night if you're hiking all day? Just leave your room card at the front desk in the morning before your hike, store your belongings in the communal luggage room, and pick them up after you descend. That's exactly what I did. After a sweaty hike, I planned to pay for a shower before leaving, but the owner told me I could shower for free! He even offered me a bottle of water before I left! The location is superb. In the morning, it's just a 15-minute walk to the Xiaoyao Stream transfer station. After descending, it's only a 5-minute walk back from Tangkou Bridge. I've stayed in nearly 30 hostels across various cities and provinces, including Atour and Ji Hotel, but this one left a lasting impression. If I ever return to Huangshan, even if other places cost tens of yuan a night and this one hundreds, I would still only consider staying here. I'm truly grateful to the owner for allowing me to clean up after my hike without having to extend my stay. The last two pictures confirm the authenticity of this review."

"The traffic nearby is very good. It is very convenient to buy things. It is close to the train station. The first time I lived in this kind of youth travel, I couldn’t find it. I called the boss at night. The boss went down to pick me up. The air conditioning effect was also very good."

"Location is good, walking distance to old town and bus station, the bed is spacious but could be more comfortable. I needed to wait about 15 minutes at the empty reception until checking in, and I had to be the one to ”make a move” and say I wanted to check in when someone arrived there, otherwise I would be just standing there at the reception with my backpack and no one would approach me or say anything. They give bottled water daily, though"

"If you're visiting Huangshan and looking for a hostel, this is a great choice. You can see Huangshan Mountain from the backyard. Head out the door, and a short walk straight ahead will take you to the South Gate of Huangshan and the Xiaoyaoyou transfer station, where you can queue directly for the buses to Yuping or Yunguxi Cableways. They also have printed Huangshan maps available. The hostess is lovely and provides excellent service. You can also arrange car rides through her. I stayed here for two nights and met a British guy and an Italian girl. It was a joy to use my broken English to tell them about ways to explore Huangshan and answer their questions."

"Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Environment: Good Service: Good. No need to say more about extending my stay multiple times, it was just that good. This guy is like a senior butler, extremely attentive and makes you feel right at home. Here you'll meet like-minded friends."

"Advantages: The provincial exam did not increase the price [God] Men and women in different suites, sisters rest assured Stayed here for 2 days, the quadruple room was 35, the next day the boss took the initiative to find, said that today is the provincial exam, the room is tight, remind if you continue to live, hurry up and place an order Overall relatively clean, everyone is of high quality, no noise After eating takeaway in the public area, the tables are kept clean Very close to Hefei South Station, convenient transportation Get up early to catch the high-speed rail, take a taxi for 10 minutes Disadvantages: shampoo shower gel can't foam, haha, and the boss is a boy, there will be time to come to the suite or room, everyone pay attention to pull the curtain when resting"

"I stayed in Hongcun for two nights, and this hostel was the most gentle haven amidst the misty rain. The plum rain season washed every leaf until it glistened, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass. I stayed in a wooden cabin, and the rain pattered on the eaves all night, a simple white noise from nature. Falling asleep to the sound of rain felt like returning to childhood, a long-lost tranquility. In the evening, the owner played and sang folk songs for us on the ukulele, their melodies blending into the sound of the rain. Outside, a fine drizzle wove through the air; inside, the lights were dim and warm. I held a cup of hot milk tea in my hands (it was made with real milk, rich and sweet, not a perfunctory powder mix – truly delicious 😋). A small cat sat under the eaves listening to the rain, while I worked on crafts, the rustle of needle and thread accompanying the lingering music. Rain, hot milk tea, folk songs, a little cat, and handmade crafts – these beautiful words layered together unexpectedly created a nearly luxurious stretch of time. Even luckier, I met several pure-hearted girls here. The plum rain didn't trap us; instead, it brought us together. We chatted, shared stories, and exchanged smiles. Though we were strangers meeting by chance, we shared a brief and wonderful time. Scenery tends to fade, and photos will yellow, but those moments filled with warmth will not disappear. They settle deep in our memories, resurfacing suddenly on a weary evening in the future, reminding you: this world is worth repeatedly venturing into. Travel isn't about escaping life, but about making life broader. To encounter mountains, rivers, and seas; to meet gentle people; to meet the light and authentic self hidden by daily routines. Resting by the water, listening to the misty rain, Dreaming of Huizhou."

"The room is spacious and tidy, with air conditioning, and the bathroom is clean and tidy without odor. The boss's service attitude is very good. Convenient to travel, there are countless foods nearby. It is a pedestrian street. It is very close to Hefei Station. It is the subway to go out. This price is super cost-effective. The whole Hefei can't find a second one so good."

"Out of inertia, whenever I see the word ”youth hostel”, I just skip it: isn't it just a six- or eight-person room with bunk beds? This time I accidentally browsed the information of this store and found that there are standard rooms here and the user reviews are very good. Place the order decisively. After two days of experience, I had a very good experience: (1) It is no less than a budget hotel. The quality of hardware facilities and services is quite good. It is only one elevator away from being a express hotel. This hotel should change its name; (2) The rooms are large. When I placed the order, I knew the nominal area was 26 square meters, and when I saw it in person, it was indeed that big. The bathroom is spacious enough and has separate wet and dry areas; (3) There are many lamps and their configuration is reasonable. There are eight lights in six categories, including main lights, downlights, wall lights, spotlights, hall lights and bathroom lights. It is very convenient to use on demand; (4) Convenient transportation. Jixi North Station is right opposite. Diagonally across to the right is the ”Passenger Transport Hub Parking Lot”, where bus No. 6 to Longchuan Scenic Area (5A) departs."

"The room was clean and simple, the proprietress was kind, and there were questions and answers. She took the initiative to introduce the nearby play route. There were supermarkets and restaurants downstairs. You can go to Meiganling rapeseed fields along the water street. Stayed for another two days."
