Atour Hotel Tangkou Huangshan

Huangshan

We stayed at this hotel on 23 Dec 2015. I lost my wallet at somewhere,  either at Huangshan or Xi Di Town. During check-in, my husband checked with receptionist how to make police report there. All staff very helpful. There has 1 lady at front desk, I forgotten to take her name. She help to checked by phone to police station, even brought us by hotel´s vehicle to police station and accompany us. Sadly, I cannot make police report there since I not sure where I lost it. 
Very surprisingly, on 19 March 2016, I received a letter from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs about recovered of my personal belongings. The local police in Huangshan City, China, had sent my wallet to Singapore Consulate General at Shanghai. My wallet still in process returning to Singapore, I do not know about the contain, but from what I heard from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff, inside have some money as well. Another surprise I got it.
Through this review, I want to thanks all staffs at Tangkou Yijing Junlai Hotel, especially a lady, whom accompany us went to Huangshan police station. Thank you very much for your sincere services. One day, We will go and stay at your hotel again.
Last, Hangzhou is not only a nice place, but Hangzhou people also very honest. We went to Hangzhou on April 2014, my husband forgotten his backpack in the taxi. We did not know the taxi´s name and plat number. A half hour later, a taxi driver came to our hotel and return my husband backpack. He refused to accept token money, told us, Hangzhou´s people are honest. He was right, absolutely right, I lost my wallet in December last year in Hangzhou, again, I not dream will get back my lost wallet. But again, your honestly very amazing. Keep it up and thank you very much.

Excellent staffs and services

This is a hard hotel to review. I stayed here for an evening prior to ascending Huangshan, there was no heating in the room (Late December), the room and entire floor smelt of smoke, yet it was supposed to be a non smoking floor?!? At 7am our room door was opened by what i can only imagine was cleaners, as it was closed as soon as they realised someone was there. There was hot water in the evening, but no hot water in the morning. 
All of these things would usually make me warn people away from staying at this hotel, but taking into consideration where I was, what was available to me and how cheap the hotel was. I got what I paid for and it served its purpose. I would even consider staying here again.
If you walk out of the hotel and turn left, follow the street down and around. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from, its a cute little town, and everyone is friendly and helpful. 
The bus station that takes you to Huangshan is a 10 minute walk from the hotel, the locals point you in the right direction.

Served its purpose

Went there as a young Western couple the night before ascending Huang Shan.
Overall, this is an OK hotel offering good value for its low price (300 RMB for a standard double, purchased on a Japanese travel website)
Overall hotel appearance is unappealing (very dark, shabby outlook), but the room was OK, clean and with very large bed
We met an extremely nice, English-speaking staff member who proved very helpful (booked a bus ticket to Huang Shan quite effectively, helped us locate the bus station).
Location is not optimal : the city of Tangkou is a ordinary, small rural Chinese city ; there are plenty other hotels closer to the mountain (though probably more expensive).

Cheap, servicable hotel with nice staff - better location may be found

I can see why it's billed as a "designer boutique" hotel with backing from some Hong Kong investors but frankly, this property falls pretty flat on its face. The location is on a rather run-down street, and not the most pedestrian-friendly as it's off the main road. Dimly lit lobby, saw few cockroaches scampering around while we waited for the elevator (by the way, if you don't speak any Mandarin, good luck getting any useful information outside of checking in) which was littered with cigarette ash. Our first room was pretty dirty by all standards--stains on the carpet, scrapes and markings on the walls, a smashed mosquito on the bathroom mirror. We had to switch to another room because the room keycard didn't activate the lights or AC. The second room was no different in terms of cleanliness, and while the keycard did activate the lights the AC unit didn't work (we decided not to bother since the temperatue seemed cool enough and we wouldn't be in the room during the day). At least the bathroom was clean. The silver lining in this was perhaps the shower: instant, hot water. There is no Wifi in the rooms, but there is a signal in the lobby that you can pick up. Our rate included breakfast in the mornings which consisted of cold, watery congee, microwaved mantou, some hard boiled eggs and some miscellaneous cold plates of vegetables (picked) to go along with the congee. At 150RMB/nt it's hard to complain as you pay for what you get for, but hopefully this will help future travelers know what they're paying for. It's about a 15 minute walk into the "town" depending on which part you are traveling to. It's closer to a 30 minute walk to where the buses depart for the cable cars if you're hiking Huangshan, which is probably why you're staying in Tangkou. All in all, it's a cheap room with a decent bed and much-appreciated hot shower for those hiking the mountain.

At least it wasn't expensive...

A good location if you are going to visit Huangshan. Arranged for an airport transfer from Tunxi airport, unfortunately they had the wrong name for us on their placard. Staff at reception know very limited english. 
Rooms are basic but clean. There is no wifi available in the rooms, only in the lobby.
The lady at the "tourist" counter probably knows the most english. She was able to offer us advice as to what bus to get to Huangshan and what route to take when walking. Her advice was much appreciated!
We ate at the restaurant twice for dinner. There is no english menu and the menu with pictures was interesting. We ended up ordering a plate of fried rice and noodles. This was plain but nice and came with a complimentary clear soup.

A comfortable stay

We stayed 1 night in a standard double room with 2 beds. Everything is quite new and clean yet simple and functional. The perfect bathroom with a good spirit and accessories. So we saw in the village of Tangkou, it is one of the best local hotels. There is no minibar. At the reception they speak enough English. Getting to the hotel is not easy since the direct bus from Hangzhou (the best way to get there: 3 hours and a little for about 10€) leaves you right at the other end of the village. You will immediately get one of the many Mr. Chen de Tangkou that will be offered to take you to the hotel by car if you get to a small restaurant and you will need your help with what you need to do. There is no choice. Facing the hotel there is a small bus that adores you to a double room. There are prices for the most expensive nights to the western station.

Acceptable hotel in rural areas

The hotel description on the Internet (4,5 stars!!!) blinded us and we booked the hotel for 2 overnight stays with friends. The price of about 50 euros per room and night seemed to us to be an I.O., but what we found there struck everything. The rooms all smelled very muffled and were dirty (carpet beds etc. ), cockroaches and spiders in the room rounded the whole thing up. The beds were not made, the bathroom wasn't cleaned. The fruit floor was worse than the original chin. Standard.
