Zero Five One Seven Boutique Hotel (0517 Hotel)

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!

We had a wonderful stay at 0517 Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel welcome and comfortable. Our room was exactly what we expected—clean, well-maintained. On our first day, the hotel arranged a pick-up from the transfer area, which was a thoughtful and convenient service. The staff helped us plan our first-day activities and mapping out our route for exploring Huangshan. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at 0517 Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The combination of excellent service, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations made our stay memorable.

The Boys and Girls that run the hotel do a top job in helping for advices and assist in booking travel. They are honest operators and friendly. Highly recommend for location, amenities, services.
