Huangshan Shilin Hotel

Mainly stayed at this hotel to watch the sunrise and sunset, make sure to check the weather if you decide to to make this hike worth it

The staff was very friendly. The room was comfortable. My only complaint is that the walls were very thin. I could hear everything the neighbors were doing, too late at night and too early in the morning. 

Clean but Standard hotel. Location is ideal since its inside the mountain, but the service is subpar. Hotel is a bit older than other hotel in the area. If you have more budget maybe stay in a much high end hotel like Guangmingding.

The Huangshan Shilin Hotel is very convenient for visiting the mountains, and they also organise trips to good viewing spots and some days photography workshops, in spite it was included in our booking there was not workshop that day. The hotel itself is not located at a very high altitude, and the sunset spot where the staff took us was not the best, the sunrise however was amazing (tour leave the hotel at 5:15 end of August) Dinner and breakfast are served buffet-style, with a variety of options, and are good, when we see the cross the poor Sherpas bringing the food up (as well as clean sheets, building materials etc.) we can complain about options. The hotel is a bit old, and there is no air conditioning, though this is probably not an issue in most seasons. The staff speak English and are very helpful, which makes things much easier for international visitors. It’s worth noting that a huge new high-end hotel is currently being built just opposite. Once completed, it will likely bring many more visitors to the area.
