Popular Yi County 4-star Hotels

Many years ago, I went to climb Huangshan and fell in love with Hui-style architecture. This time, I took advantage of the short holiday to drive to the ancient villages of Huangshan. I first came to the famous Hongcun and chose the Shilili Hot Spring Hotel. I felt relaxed when I came to Anhui. I don’t have to worry about the small amount of dishes when dining, and I don’t have to worry about people always hinting at you to buy things. The folk customs of Anhui are still worthy of praise! The hotel consists of seven or eight ancient Hui-style houses. Hongcun is just opposite. There are many people in Hongcun during the short holiday, but not many people in the hotel. The pavilions and corridors complement each other. The front desk and the manager are also very enthusiastic. The baby said that it is more interesting to appreciate the architecture in the hotel than in Hongcun.

The hotel is very close to Hongcun and Pingshan, and not far from the town. You can go out to eat local dishes at night. I am not used to staying in private B&Bs, and I think it is good to see this kind of regular star hotel with a good environment. There are not many varieties of breakfast, but the quality is good and not perfunctory. There are no shopping malls in the whole Yi County.

Because you need to stay in Hongcun, I booked this one on Trip.com. The facilities are very new and the sanitary conditions are very good. It is very convenient to drive to the scenic spot for ten minutes. The hotel staff are very warm and enthusiastic. There are many shops around the hotel and shopping is convenient, but it is quiet at night. Very good value for money, very satisfied.

We stayed at this hotel at 6 o'clock in the evening of November 11, because my wife and I were traveling by car. The original intention was to find a hotel where you can park safely. When you checked in, you got the warm help of the two girls on duty at the front desk. (I regret that I forgot to ask their names) I explained to us the famous scenic spots, driving routes, and surrounding food in Jixian County. It was really thoughtful. The parking lot of this hotel is large and safe (free for in-house guests). Thank you for these two front desk waiters. I will stay here in Jixian next time. 😊

Hongcun Yushan mountain scenery house is convenienly located near the South Gate of Hongcun Scenic area. We booked courtyard B which is located outside and behind the main hotel complex with breakfast included. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable, and had a small courtyard, but unfortunately no garden chairs or table to sit outside. In hindsight we woud book another room in the main complex next time. It has a lovely open garden and plenty of outdoor seating. I contacted the hotel before our stay and managed by using a voice translator to connect with the staff on Wechat. A friendly staff member met us at the entrance to the scenic area and entry is free of charge when you stay at the hotel. The hotel staff don't speak any English, but they were very helpful and friendly and we got along fine using Wechat and other translators. I won't recommend eating dinner at the hotel as there are many local Chinese restaurants in the ancient village. The hotel offers a coffee shop in the lobby and has a number of options, like Americano, Latte etc. The coffee is very good, but I felt it was a bit pricey for the cup size. The hotel breakfast is Chinese with no Western options, and it is served in unique way in a tray. I enjoyed the breakfast, but my husband would have liked more western options. On our arrival the room was already pre-heated and the beds in the room were comfortable. It was snowing lightly when we arrived and there were umbrellas available in the room. They also provide vanity items. We visited just before the Chinese New Year tourist rush at the beginning of the holiday and this was a very good location and time to visit despite the cold weather. The ancient village was not too crowded and it was nice to walk around in the evenings and daytime with the hotel is situated conveniently right next to the South lake. Drone flying is allowed which can give drone flyers an aerial view of the village. Depending on your iterinary a one night stay is sufficient to visit Hongcun and the nearby Xidi ancient village then move on to another hotel at the foot or top of the mountain or Tunxi village. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend this hotel to travelers wanting a good hotel experience in Hongcun.

I rarely write reviews, but I recommend this hotel. The location is very good, and it is convenient to go everywhere. Qishu Lake is just across the road. The layout of the public area is also unique. You can also enjoy the scenery on the roof. The breakfast is rich in variety. In addition to welcome fruits and snacks, they also gave me souvenirs before leaving. The service is also very enthusiastic, especially the waiters in the restaurant, who answered my questions very patiently. I must say there is a problem, that is, the sound of the air conditioner at night is still a bit disturbing for people like me who have poor sleep. The locking setting of the sliding door in the room is also a bit inconvenient

This location was perfect and right in the scenic area of hongcun. It’s a little difficult to find at first but once you find it it’s easy to come back to if you put it in the maps app. The town is so cute and we were welcomed with little Hand-made bookmarks which was so sweet and a wonderful surprise. The one thing that was off putting and probably a one off is it seemed that there was a large family staying in the Homestay and in the middle of the night there was screaming and doors slamming on and off throughout the night. I’m not sure if this is a regular thing or just happened to be a one night thing but it was a bit frightening. Other than that the location was very quiet when we got there and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had throughout our stay.

The area is large enough and the service is good enough. The first floor is dining. The second, third and fourth floors are guest rooms. It takes a few minutes to walk from the entrance of the scenic spot. The store also provides pick-up service. This is my final choice after comparing it for a long time.

As an authentic Huizhou native who left home when I was young, I came to Hongcun and met Zhang Gongguan for the first time, but I was amazed by the whole ink painting Qingming. After walking through the streets and alleys, I finally found the low-key house number. I opened a small door and opened a paradise. The antique Ming and Qing Dynasty old houses, restored in the Hui-style style, and simple and elegant furniture make people feel like they have traveled through time and space and returned to the prosperous ancient Huizhou of the past. In the front hall and back yard, the centuries-old mottled walls are paired with the black and white colors of Qingming rain, but it also has a sense of vicissitudes like ”in the old days, when kings went to the hall and swallows flew into the homes of ordinary people”, it was as if they were in a Chinese ink painting. This is an old house with a history of 300 years. It is located in the core scenic area of ​​Hongcun. It only takes 3 minutes to walk to Moon Marsh. There are many types of guest rooms with different styles. Almost all of them feature Chinese retro style. The carved wooden beds, wooden couches and dressing tables are all antique designs. The calligraphy, paintings and porcelain in the room highlight the famous Hui school. The door is an antique wooden door latch. key. The facilities in the bathroom are absolutely high-end. Dyson hair dryers and Hermès bath products are both rich in history and considerate. The owner lives with his guests and has four cats, several courtyards, and a beautiful swimming pool. The guests can drink tea and relax while leaning on the garden view. The butler's service was extremely attentive. He asked about the soundproofing at night, prepared a heart-warming breakfast in the morning, took our luggage all the way from the parking lot to the CI, dragged our luggage up the narrow stairs of the old house, and used a small electric donkey to carry our luggage again before we left. Return to the parking lot. I want to say here that the wooden stairs in the old Hui-style houses are narrow and shaky, and the sound insulation between the rooms is not very good. If you come to immerse yourself in the old house life, don’t complain and pay more attention to yourself. In short, this place really made my impression of Hongcun become more beautiful and full of nostalgia. It is undoubtedly the best private hotel in the village, and it feels like a dream that I will never wake up from.

Highly, highly recommend! 5⭐️ Service: The staff were extremely accommodating and welcoming! We were able to communicate via WeChat and organize transportation beforehand. Location: This guesthouse is a 5 minute drive from the main Hongcun Village entrance and the owners kindly drove us there! Although this hotel isn’t inside the village itself, it’s still convenient and in a quiet location! It’s a 1 hour drive from the Huangshan North Railway station and 1 hour drive to the Huangshan Tangkou Transfer Center. Food: There’s a restaurant on-site which has an extensive dinner menu. Honestly, you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner without leaving the premises! Very convenient and the food is good quality- highly recommend. Amenities: The guesthouse is newly renovated and has top notch furnishings. Everything is clean and comfortable. The floor heating was nice to have in December!
