Hotels With Pools in Anhui, China

My stay at Luming Valley Hotspring Holidays B&B exceeded every expectation from the moment we drove up the hill. My husband and I stayed in the Mountainscape Terrace Mountain View Suite, which genuinely felt like a 5‑star hotel room. It was spotless, beautifully furnished, and equipped with an incredibly comfortable bed, a fully stocked mini fridge, and a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. The smart controls operated by “Xiao Bao” were a fun and convenient touch. We were completely blown away and honestly wished we could have stayed in the room forever. Even before our arrival, the staff communicated with us via WeChat to ensure everything went smoothly. We were able to speak with an English‑speaking staff member who took care of every detail for us—booking the hot springs, arranging breakfast, dinner, and afternoon tea, and even offering to help us get to the train station on our last day. Their attentiveness went far beyond anything we’ve experienced at other hotels. We were even given a thoughtful bag of gifts upon departure. Because the hotel is quite isolated, we ate all our meals on-site. The cuisine is Chinese, which isn’t usually my preference, but everything was delicious, freshly prepared, and presented with great care. A standout was the afternoon tea we enjoyed on our second day. We could choose to dine in our room or at the restaurant, which was perfect depending on how we felt each day. The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot springs. There are four in total, and we used the two located higher on the hill, which offered an incredible view—even on a cloudy day. The temperature was perfect, and everything was exceptionally clean. The staff assured us that each pool is drained and refilled after every use, which gave us great peace of mind. Soaking in the hot springs in the heart of winter, surrounded by Huangshan’s beautiful mountains, was an unforgettable experience. The hotel is about an hour from both Huangshanxi and Huangshanbei stations and easily reachable by car or Didi. Due to the weather, we didn’t visit the mountain scenic area, but the staff were more than willing to help us plan if we wanted to explore the surroundings. This was truly a 10/10 stay. The staff make you feel like you’re the only guests there with their warmth and attentiveness. The design and architecture are stunning, and the hotel even smells amazing. I have absolutely no complaints and would rank this among the best hotels I’ve stayed at anywhere in the world. It’s a perfect romantic getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. I can’t wait to return!

Choosing this guesthouse for this trip was definitely the right decision! The owner's service was excellent. For both nights we stayed, there was daily pick-up and drop-off service, and they were always available whenever we needed them. The owner even accompanied us on our pilgrimage up the mountain, saving us a lot of time. The rooms were nice and clean, and they included free breakfast. There's also their own restaurant where we could order food, which was clean and hygienic. The auntie's cooking was delicious, so we didn't have to go out to find restaurants. The elders were very satisfied with this guesthouse; it didn't disappoint them. They all said they'd recommend it to their friends and that they would definitely choose this guesthouse if they ever come to Jiuhua Mountain. Highly recommended! Wishing the owner great success in their business! 🤝

I've stayed at The Langham multiple times, and it's always perfect for business trips. The room has great natural light, and the mattress is very comfortable. Butler Mindy was incredibly attentive throughout my stay, always efficient, and promptly brought anything I needed to my room 👍. The surrounding commercial area is well-developed, and both the facilities and service are top-notch, offering excellent value for money 👍. Whether for work or leisure, the experience is always super comfortable and worth returning to again and again. I'll definitely choose The Langham Hefei for my next visit.

The vibe here is truly special! The owners put so much heart into running this place. The rooms are spotless, and the moment you step in, you just feel completely relaxed. In the evenings, they invite everyone to the lobby for tea and conversation, serving delicious tea snacks and fresh fruit. For two days straight, they gave complimentary special drinks to the kids and homemade millet wine to the adults. It felt just like visiting a friend's house, and the kids absolutely loved it. All the food was fantastic – purely handmade and organic. The water they served was mountain spring water, and the air was so fresh. On our last day, we joined the owner for a sunrise trip to the tea mountain. The sea of clouds was breathtaking, and it was wonderfully cool. I highly recommend this guesthouse for its warm hospitality. I'll definitely be back with my girlfriends next time. Wishing the owners all the best with their business, and a big thank you to all the staff for two days of thoughtful care! ^_^

Facilities: This hotel looks particularly beautiful at night, creating a fantastic ambiance from the outside. I booked a terrace room, which had lounge chairs outside the door – super cool and absolutely dust-free. The room's hardware was excellent, with smart home features throughout, and the mattress was really soft. The king-size bed was so comfortable, even for three of us with a child. The only minor downside was the slight dripping noise when it rained at night, which might be due to the building's exterior design. Overall, I'd give it a 9.5/10. Hygiene: The cleanliness was spot on, and there was no strange smell when entering the room, which made for a great experience. Environment: It's close to nature, so you might encounter small insects, but the room provided mosquito repellent, so it wasn't an issue at all. Very good. Service: The front desk service was excellent and very thoughtful. The staff proactively helped me with my luggage. My child loved the Huangshan shortbread at breakfast, and they even gave us some to take away – truly considerate! They also offered free hiking poles and maps, plus a free shuttle service to and from the South Gate. Everything was just perfect. It was a bit of a shame that it rained during our visit, but I've already made plans with friends to come back again when the weather is clear in autumn. We'll definitely book this place again.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, purely because of its location. For its spot, the amenities still offer great value for money. However, this time I booked a king room and was given one facing the street. My much-anticipated holiday, a relaxing mountain escape in southern Anhui, was ruined by a night of noise. I understand that the Yellow Mountain entrance/exit sees a lot of traffic, but the reality is I didn't sleep a wink. I'd suggest upgrading the windows on the street-facing side to high-standard, soundproof ones – it would make a real difference. The breakfast selection also seemed a bit limited. Overall though, it's still consistently good and remains one of the top-tier options in this town. These are my honest thoughts, hope they're helpful.

Before checking into Banyan Tree Huangshan, my expectations were really high, but I ended up quite disappointed. Let me start with the positives: 1. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options, quite decent for a star-rated hotel. The fresh juices were squeezed on demand, and the fruit quality was excellent. Most importantly, the staff were very efficient at clearing tables and setting up, so there was never any waiting for a seat, everyone could get seated promptly. 2. The service throughout our stay was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive and patiently listened to guest feedback and suggestions, making adjustments proactively. The downsides, however, were quite noticeable: 1. The hardware is terrible and doesn't match the price point at all. The air conditioning in the room was very noisy and just barely passable. The bathroom was particularly bad; I've never encountered such poor bathroom facilities, especially not in a five-star hotel. The shower pressure was very weak, and so was the water flow from the bathtub faucet. The toilet height was incredibly uncomfortable; even for someone of my 175cm height, it was awkward to use. Plus, the quality was poor, and due to the bad glaze, flushing was a hassle. The central air conditioning in the lobby was practically useless. Walking into the hotel lobby, it felt only a few degrees cooler than outside. We didn't want to spend any time in the public areas; with outdoor temperatures at 37 degrees Celsius, the heat in the lobby was unbearable. 2. The hotel's main selling point is its 'getaway' style, and while the environment is indeed deep in a valley, quiet and secluded, it lacks the simple recreational facilities that would make guests want to stay. I went to the pool table three times and couldn't play because there was always a queue. Besides that, there weren't many other good leisure activities. For example, the coffee and tea area wasn't appealing because the public area AC was too high, making it uncomfortable, and the cafe environment itself didn't match the price of the hotel, falling far short of many five-star hotels in scenic areas. Although the hotel advertised iron-flower performances, they were only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and we perfectly missed them during our two-day stay. In summary, the hotel's promotional pictures are very attractive, but the reality is quite different. If you're just looking for a secluded getaway, it can meet that need. For everything else, there's a lot of room for improvement.

This was a spontaneous trip, just an hour's drive from Hefei. The environment is exactly as advertised, truly the best hotel in the Daiao Mountain scenic area. The most pleasant surprise was the service; someone came to help with our luggage as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, and welcome fruits were already set up in our room. Our two days at the hotel were quiet and relaxing. We even made traditional Chinese medicine sachets, which had a very healing scent, and enjoyed a singing bowl session. The distant sound of the bells 🔔 was quite memorable. A special shout-out to Buyun Restaurant – we ate there two days in a row! The breakfast had a wide variety and beautiful presentation, and the specialty dishes for lunch and dinner were delicious. There was a 30-minute wait for food, which just showed that everything was freshly cooked to order. On the second day, we hiked up Daiao Mountain, reaching the summit in 30 minutes – the perfect amount of exercise.

The hotel lobby is grand and it's located near the administrative center, surrounded by many shopping malls like Impression City and Intime. Getting to the old city by taxi is also convenient. Although the hotel is a bit older, the room facilities are very well-maintained. The executive room I stayed in offered excellent value for money; it was spacious and had a view of Swan Lake. The executive lounge offers afternoon tea and a buffet dinner. The hotel staff are incredibly welcoming; a staff member even personally delivered my takeout order to my room. I felt right at home and it's definitely worth staying here again.

The room I booked had a private hot spring, and the auntie would fill it beforehand to ensure the perfect temperature. Breakfast included wontons and noodles, simple yet delicious. A special mention to Mr. Yu, our shuttle driver. He picked us up from the high-speed rail station and took us directly to the scenic area, then picked us up from the mountain and drove us back to the hotel. Mr. Yu is a retired tour guide, very knowledgeable about the local attractions, and his private car service is reasonably priced. His service and commentary were excellent, and the restaurant he recommended was delicious. A perfect trip, thank you!
