Zero Five One Seven Boutique Hotel (0517 Hotel)

A great location to say in, restaurants just a stone throw away and host even send me to the foot of yellow mountain in his own car. Walking distance to yellow mountain station Host is great and helpful.

Great place to stay! Super nice people at the reception who are so sweet and willing to help with everything. Additionally, you are every close to the entrance of the park which is super nice. You can just get up early, walk for 10 min to the entrance and get breakfast along the way! Would recommend to stay here!

While the location was fantastic, the room itself was not clean (there was dust all over the place and the shower did not seem sanitized).

Loved our stay at 0517 Hotel! Perfect location in the old town, walkable to everything. The staff were warm, welcoming, and full of great local tips. Will definitely stay again!

I would describe this place more as a phenomenal bed and breakfast than a hotel, etc. Very hospitable and friendly host. They offer an exceptional breakfast which I have not experienced at my previous accommodations. Their place and rooms also have a nice and homely atmosphere with a lobby containing games and inspirational quotes on the walls and a cute cat. They also provide recommendations and guidance on which paths to choose on Mount Huangshan depending on what your goals are. The location is only a 10-15 min walk along the river to the Mount Huangshan shuttle buses which go to the cable cars to start your hike.

I chose the 0517 hotel after reading great reviews, and they were not wrong! Starting with the simple things, the location is so convenient being in the part of town nearest the park’s south entrance. You can walk there in ~15 minutes, passing several options for a street food breakfast along the way. There is also a good selection of restaurants for dinner, and a very nice bakery to pick up snacks for the day. The long distance buses arrive at a bus station a few km away, but the hotel will arrange the pickup for you, free of charge. The hotel’s design in the rooms and shared spaces is very modern & clean, in a style appreciated by westerners. The rooms are on the small side, but have everything you need. Leaving the best point until last – the highlight here is the customer service provided by the owner Timo and his staff. 11/10! Nothing is too much trouble, they will help you with everything from trip planning, to organizing local shared taxi to surrounding areas, to storing luggage, or whatever. On both the nights there, I had a long, friendly chat with him and a couple of others over a drink in the evening. Felt more like being his personal guest than being in a hotel. HIGHLY recommended!
