Shanshui Boutique Hotel (Huangshan Tunxi Old Street)

If you are planning to visit Yellow Mountains (Huangshan) Shanshui Boutique hotel is conveniently located as it is just 25 min drive (by taxi) from high speed train station, also easy travel to the Yungpu cable car (about 45-60min) to access the Mountains, and less than 40 min to get to Xidi ancient vilage. The architecture is a must, you can appreciate the old facade mingled with the new avant garde design that faces the river and the swimming pool. It also has plenty spaces designed to relax while drinking some tea, coffee, etc as well as a playground -we always thank when traveling with small kids-. It also has a spacious library room where you can relax reading a book, playing cards or just having a cup of coffee. The swimming pool is also key attraction specially if you are lucky with weather. Breakfast is buffet with a very good mixture of Chinese and western options available. The hotel is situated conveniently near the promenade adjacent the river, cobbled stoned shopping street and Tunxi old street. But the best of all for us was Jerry, he personally guided us to visit some village nearby and also help with the Mountain tour suggestions. The staff also help us with some suggestions to eat local food nearby. So we definitely recommend staying in this beautifully designed hotel with friendly staff and service in English and Chinese.

I enjoyed my spontaneous trip to Huangshan especially because of this wonderful boutique hotel! Special architectural symbiosis of old and new, welcoming and supportive staff, and a great starting point in the mornings for all the sightseeings around! Highly recommended!

This hotel is a gem in Tunxi that I found on Trip.com. We regret not staying here for 2 nights at the start of our 4 day trip in Huangshan at the start of Chinese New Year in Jan. 2023 because it is near the Huangshan Bei (North) high speed train station (25 min drive by Didi) and an easy travel to the Yungpu cable car (about 45 min.) to access the mountain. I contacted the hotel and connected on Wechat and the English speaking receptionist Xiao Xi (he is an amazing host and an ambassador for this hotel) answered my questions and sent me the taxi/Didi location. When we arrived we received a warm English welcome and an unexpected upgrade to a spacious gorgeous, already heated room with a huge bath, and shower overlooking the river. Our original room price included breakfast, which was a mix of Chinese and Western choices. I recommend trying the preserved tofu. First time I tried it; it resembles blue cheese, and is surprisingly tasty. We loved the Japanese style design of the hotel. The hotel is situated conveniently near the promenade adjacent the river, Luping cobbled stoned shopping street and Tunxi ancient street. Xiao personally guided us to these streets and made some dinner suggestions. We decided to have dinner at the hotel and had a lovely meal of sushi and ramen. The hotel has many areas designed for guests to relax inside, and outside where you can have cups of tea on the house. It also has a library room where you can relax reading a book or just have a cup of tea. They also offer tea ceremonies which is included in the room price. The swimming pool is an added bonus if you visit in summer. The promenade and shopping street can be accessed from the gate at the outdoor seating area on the roof as well. I definitely recommend staying a night or two in this beautifully designed hotel with friendly staff and service in English and Chinese. The locals were friendly and a sandwich and coffee at the FFFFF café is a must. It is one of the most delicious roasted sandwiches (we call them jaffles) I have eaten in China. In the evening you can visit one of many wine houses, clubs or bars in Luping or Tunxi Old street, or just walk around and enjoy the scenery. We don't regret visiting in winter. It was chilly outside but we experienced windless days and nights making it a pleasant experience walking around.

We absolutely adored this hotel!! Just like it says in the description it’s a perfect mix of modern and old style. The rooms are very spacious and luxurious with a large comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom and bathrobes that are so soft they’ll make you fall asleep immediately. Breakfast in the morning is nice, it’s a cute little restaurant area. The manager gave us nice restaurant suggestions, but you don’t really need it as this hotel is literally on Tunxi Old Street so everything to do in the city is a short walk away. If we ever return to Huangshan we will definitely stay here again and will be recommending to friends!

very comfortable and beautiful place

Great place to stay in Huangshan city - cool rooms, good food, and right near the old street areas for good night life

Beautiful

Ever since our trip to Huangshan, my friends and I can't stop talking about how beautiful the Shanshui Boutique Hotel is! It is hard to explain how much we loved our stay at this hotel. The hotel is perfectly located near the Liyang old street and only a 10 minute walk to Tunxi old street, and we had a beautiful view of the river and bridge. The feel of the hotel interior is warm and is reminiscent of a lovely teahouse. The check in process was very easy and they were very accommodating to foreigners. The rooms were very spacious, clean and each room was unique due to the architecture of the hotel. The beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel staff left fresh fruit in the room for us. The breakfast buffet was also lovely. There were many options for food. You can choose from the buffet bar or you could also order some fresh noodles and eggs. Everything was very delicious. Many thanks to the hotel staff including Xia, who gave us wonderful recommendations on where to go and what to eat. I also need to say that the bathrobe in this hotel is the most luxurious bathrobe I have ever experienced. I had to buy one to take home with me at the end of my stay. I absolutely love this hotel, and when I return to Huangshan in the future, I will only stay at this hotel. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the city.

The service was amazing since the moment I got there. This hotel has magic. Starting from location, construction, decoration. I was really amazed for the beauty of it. The swimming pool is an incredible peaceful place. Also have different areas to drink tea, read or chat. Breakfast was quite good as well. With good coffee, and both chinese and western breakfast. No doubt I’ll stay again there if I go to Huangshan again. Also will recommend it to my close friends. Thanks for everything!!!
