Huangshan Tong Ju Lou Xin 'an banquet hotel

尚可

I generally liked staying there in the past. The hotel is managed like a state-owned company rather than a private firm. However, if you adapt to Chinese standards it is ok. However, I will never lodge there again in the future as during my last visit my 5 yr old son spilled some watermelon on the duvet and was asked to pay for the damage. I told them they could easily wash it (watermelon juice...) but they seemed surprised about it... so now I get the doubt they may just not wash their duvets... also, I generally spend the equivalent of 6-8 months Chinese salary every year there (I also dine at their mediocre and expensive restaurant pretty much every day) and yet they wanted to charge me an extra £30 to clean the spot of fruitjuice on the duvet. - In my case they just lost a customer. They just had a short term gain of £30 and prevented themselves to earn another £2,000 next summer, let alone the amounts in the years to come (I spend a lot of time in Huangshan).

周りにコンビニ等がないので少し物足りないけれど、その分静かで落ち着けます。駅や老街まではタクシーで１０元以内ですので、それほど不便は感じませんでした。

PLUS: helpfulness of staff, position MINUN: customers smoking in the corridors, smoking at the restaurant, in the halls... everywhere! Alos, the hotels is somehow managed amateurially. I would not say it is a bad hotel, but it can improve, especially because I am a non-smoker and hate eating and sleeping among smokers.

PLUS: Good hotel. Friendly staff. Good position. MINUS: Freezing cold restaurant (in Winter).
