Fengji Hotel (Hefei High-speed Railway South Station North Square Branch)

Spacious and clean room. The hotel is located inside the railway station area so it’s convenient to go everywhere in Hefei. Highly recommend to everyone!

A Hotel You Literally Have to Find Underground Hefei South Railway Station I arrived in Hefei at night, impressed by China’s almost legendary punctuality — something my own country once specialised in, long ago. The airport shuttle glided through wide, perfectly straight roads lined with glowing skyscrapers. A good start. Then I reached Hefei South Station, opened Trip.com, and was told: “Your hotel is right here.” Technically true — but only if you know it’s directly underneath your feet. After wandering around the huge empty square, a very kind police officer rescued me, pointed to a lonely elevator in the middle of the plaza (it looked more like modern art than an entrance), and down I went into the hidden world below. The hotel is built inside the station itself — small clusters of rooms tucked between luggage areas and service corridors. From reception to my room it was about 300 metres of underground sightseeing. My VIBRAM-soled hiking boots even stuck to the floor at first (someone must have spilled a bottle of very enthusiastic orange soda), but the cleaning staff fixed everything with great care and many smiles. Breakfast was the most unforgettable part: served inside a convenience store full of police officers and station staff queueing for their morning noodles. No English menu, lots of friendly confusion, and eventually I received three cold eggs and a massive seaweed-wrapped rice block the size of two fists. I decided to spare myself — life is too short for certain experiments — and found a latte upstairs instead. Summary What I liked: Unique location inside the station Clean rooms Very friendly staff Great price Be aware: Entrance is hard to find (think: treasure hunt, but underground) No English spoken Breakfast not ideal for foreign travelers Verdict A memorable stay — perfect for Chinese-speaking guests or adventurous travellers who enjoy stories as much as comfort. If you don’t speak Chinese: bring patience, humour and your own breakfast.

Hotel is within the railway station, no need to go outside to get to the hotel. Room is huge & very basic but has everything one needs for a couple of nights. The staff at the reception was friendly & helpful.
