Kunlun International Youth Hostel (Huangshan Downtown) Reviews

I traveled to Huangshan from Shanghai (originally from Beijing) to climb the mountain and I found myself on Trip.com looking for a hostel that is clean and affordable. My search landed at this Kunlun Hostel in the downtown area. I love how accommodating the front desk people are. They only spoke a little English but they helped me out in booking my bus from downtown to the scenic area. It was already 10 p.m. but still they accommodated my request. I booked a bed in a six-bed dormitory but it was full when I arrived so they went ahead and gave me a room with three beds and an ensuite bathroom. Later, my two roommates arrived and made a new friend with one of them. She doesn't speak English while I speak basic Chinese. Stil,l we communicated in Chinese and shared our views and opinions about life, travel, and womanhood. It was wonderful! I love the cleanliness of this hotel and the free water every day. Toiletries were provided in the room as well as towels. The common area is quite spacious and you can buy refreshments at affordable prices. I took a Didi car from Huangshan North to this hostel. I love how convenient it is to do that! On my last night, I stopped by the Ancient Street for Mandarin Fish and foot massage. It was blissful! I am glad I booked my two-night stay at Kunlun Huangshan Downtown.

Everything is good !

Nice hostel with decently priced private rooms, and friendly stadf not far from the center of Huangshan city. Good jumping off point to explore the Huizhou region.

Nice place to stay. Close to the bus station and easy to walk to the town. Common area very pleasant. Gentle staff.

Its a very awesome place 😇😇

location is not bad but not near to old street. but there is bus stop right outside hostel. funny thing is reception only opens at 8am so when we had to check out early before then we had to leave the key card with the adjoining hotel who arranges to send to them later. clean and comfy room spacious too. worth the price.

Hostel reception and manager were excellent host, they were very hospitable. The location of the hostel is very good for those doing day trips to Hong cun, Xidi and Huangshan as it's just a short walk to the main bus station to these areas (long distance bus station). It's also about 2km from the Huangshan old town which is walkable for an evening stroll. I will visit Huangshan Hong Cun/Xidi and stay in this hostel again.

It's safer to take the taxi outside the station to go to the hostel if you don't want to be scammed. The taxi drive was around 30 yuan. To not waste time and because it was alright late at night I took a taxi and not a bus. The hostel is well located to take the bus to Huangshang mountain. I was traveling in low season so only met local travelers, most then don't speak English but it's nice mingle with them even if we need to use translation apps haha I had a tight schedule, but I would have liked to connect more with the people in the host. Thanks!

wonderful, cute little hostel - really nice that they do group meals and a FANTASTIC location if you want to visit Huangshan (daytrip) and nearby ancient villages such as hongcun - it's a 5-10 minute walk to the bus/coach station, super convenient. the staff were very accomodating and let me switch rooms in order to stay and extra day to catch the good weather for the mountain

Nice big room, plenty of space for luggage and desk included. Bed was comfortable. You put on your own bedsheets so you know they're clean which is nice. Bathroom was a good size, not super clean, but fine. Common area seemed nice, although it was quiet so there wasn't much of an atmosphere and barely any foreigners, but I'm sure it's more social in busier times. Great location near bus station, also the bus from the train station stops just outside too (on opposite side of road). To get to Huizhou Ancient town from the bus station is 1.5hrs on bus 6001 (¥5), taxi would be at least ¥80. Not many food spots nearby but a few mini stores and small restaurants on nearby streets. Overall pretty good stay, no real complaints and great price/value.

Mr. Leu, Ms. Lieu & Ms Yei are wonderful staff at reception. I am well looked after by them. Thank you for the hospitality that the Hostel has extended on me. Shall come back again for stay when visiting Huangshan city. A lovely and memorable experience with them.

Great location to catch busses to the national park. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hostel seemed kinda empty and low-seasonish, but had really great vibes with everything backpackers need. Room was huge, clean and nice. We came back for another night and I would definitely recommend it if you wanna visit the mountains. We did not go to the city center because that was too far to walk. No problem with a bus though!

Clasica hostel with basic series. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Convenient locaion, six minutes walk from Tunxi bus station. Quite good quality/price ratio.

Amazing experience. I was there only for one night but there was a problem with my booking and they solved it so well.
