Not recommended, the environment and facilities are OK, but there is no service throughout the whole process. My friend and I went there on a weekday, so there weren't many people visiting, and the room rate was very cheap. After getting off the station, I called the store and the older brother and sister who answered the phone were very nice (they should be a couple). They told me to take a taxi and get off at Tangkou Bridge. The taxi fare was about 12 yuan, which was very short, but it was very far to walk there. When we arrived at Tangkou Bridge, the store owner asked my mother-in-law to come out and pick me up. The store was halfway up the mountain, and it was very inconvenient to walk up two long steps. After my aunt settled me down, she hurried downstairs, saying she was going to cook. A foreigner really didn't know how to go to Huangshan the next day. The air conditioner had a small problem and didn't work well, and the heating effect was not good. The aunt left me aside. After I put my luggage in the room, I didn't know where to go and sat in the yard for a long time. Normally, after settling in, I would ask the store for specific check-in instructions, but my mother-in-law ran out to cook for someone. It wasn't until the evening that I couldn't hold on any longer, so I called and my mother-in-law asked me to go downstairs to find him. It turned out that their family had opened a restaurant diagonally across the street. In this case, the previous good reviews were a bit misleading. My mother-in-law said that their restaurant had moved downstairs, which means that the good reviews that others had given before were when they were still serving food on the mountain. My mother-in-law kept trying to sell me things. She told me to have breakfast at her store the next day and then arranged for me to take a bus. A bowl of noodles cost about 15 yuan, which was three yuan more than the inner street under the bridge. But we wanted to travel light when hiking, so we brought Snickers bars and didn’t feel like eating anything the next day. I asked him for the specific check-in instructions, but he seemed very impatient and asked me to look at the electronic map of the restaurant. He gave me a brief explanation and that was it. There is a big contrast between my mother-in-law's attitude and that of my brothers and sisters. It is recommended that the store add WeChat to the hotel’s guests so that if there are any questions, we can provide timely feedback. When I went to Putuo before, other B&Bs did the same thing and would make itinerary arrangements based on my time. After all, the store only has 8 rooms, so it should be possible to accommodate you. The overall feeling is that it's a bit of a pitfall. If you want to eat store-made food, you have to run downstairs across the street. After checking in, I was left alone, not knowing where I was. If I go somewhere else in the future, I'd still spend a little more money to stay in a chain hotel for more assurance. I hope the store will improve.
