Huangshan Paiyun Hotel

Great location, and superb amenities and service. Worth the cost! Great location to see the sea of clouds

Nice and clean hotel, with pretty and awesome food.

Hotel was great - particularly as it's on top of a mountain - and that in itself is special! Costs for everything are expensive but fair considering the location. The room is fairly small (but very functional), you won't need space as you won't have luggage. Room comes with warm jackets and a torch so you don't need to bring those things for a sunset/sunrise. We were in what seemed like a newer block so the interior was modern. Shower was hot and decent. Breakfast and dinner (180 yuan per person) had impressive variety considering everything gets up the mountain on a cable car and then manually carried to the hotel. Location is good as it's next to the Taiping cableway but we walked from the popular Yuping cableway carrying small overnight packs. It is very possible in one day! We descended the next day via the Yungu cableway which was a much easier walk. Note the closest lookout for both is a 20min uphill walk with the path starting from the hotel (and another path for those who aren't staying there.) We saw a spectacular sunset and not much of a sunrise. Both were well worth it but of course you're at the mercy of the weather. Receptionists could speak basic English and will also give you bottles of water and communicate weather and sunset conditions to you via WeChat. If you can't understand Mandarin you can use the translate function in WeChat. Free laundry service too but we didn't use it.

Very nice place at the top of mountain. Near the peak to view sunset and sunrise. Staff can use English to support on Wechat very well. Food in restaurant is good. Staff also nice. Recomment to buy the buffet ticket for dinner (180y/pax) instead of À la carte (same food with buffet).

Excellent location. Just 2 mins from north cable car station. Very considerate staff who went out to provide room service during peak hour as we have an unwell member who did not want to go to the restaurant.

the lobby staff is very helpfull.
