Huangshan Paiyun Hotel

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.

Excellent location The rooms are pretty small and not sound proofed. Don’t expect to sleep a lot if you have noisy neighbors.

Best location, friendly staff😊

Beautiful hotel, clean, perfect position, near Danxia peak (about 15 min upstairs) to see both sunset and sunrise. Very nice breakfast with multiple options and even western options. There are also two heavy jackets in every room you can use for free due to lower temperature at night. Recommended.

The location of this hotel us top-tier, sadly the price performance ratio is a bit low. To have a room with no window facing outside on the mountain is not great. It means no fresh air in the room and in such high altitude makes the room so stuffy that it‘s impossible to relax in the room.

Positive: Wonderful location in the Yellow Mountains, ideal for avoiding the crowds in the evening and morning. Friendly and caring staff. Soup and an apple offered upon arrival. Clean room with comfortable bedding. Breakfast is varied and plentiful, though not particularly tasty. Negative: Rooms are small and feel more like a camping bungalow than a hotel (plastic shower cabin). Poor sound insulation – bring earplugs. Poor value for money (you're mostly paying for the location).
