We stayed one night, before heading up to 黄山 in the morning - location was convenient and peaceful, tucked away further up from the main hubbub of the transfer hub but only 10 min walk from 南大门 to get on the mountain shuttle bus. The local town is charming to walk around - lots of restaurants and shops to stock up on walking snacks and local produce. The hotel manager spoke fluent English, which helped my English partner feel included. He helped us plan our walking route with useful must-sees, how to avoid closed off sections, areas of heavy foot traffic etc. Room is well equipped and comfortable, we had a romantic balcony overlooking the stream! Only downside is our room was next to the stairwell, and a large family was playing and shouting up and down the stairwell late into the evening (but this is not the hotel’s fault).
Would recommend visiting 黄山 on a weekday, or even in slightly rainy weather if you don’t mind getting wet: Thu-Fri it was rainy/misty but beautifully tranquil and peaceful, almost no queuing at all on any parts. When we left on Saturday it was sunny but also extremely busy with big tour groups and aggressive crowds (luckily this was our leaving day).
