Huishang International Hotel

The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with traditional Chinese decor, reflecting the local culture of Anhui province. The menu features a variety of authentic Anhui dishes, with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Highlights include the famous Huangshan Maofeng tea-infused dishes and the savory stewed bamboo shoots. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, often showcasing the umami and earthy tones typical of Anhui cuisine. Service is friendly and attentive, though English menus may be limited.

Amazing food in the restaurant, large rooms with not much heating but it was cosy somehow.

Definitely not a "5 star hotel" as advertised. My family (3 separate rooms) had to move to a different room due to them overbooking rooms with double beds. Staff were not polite and did not speak a single word English for an "international hotel". The hygiene/cleanliness was questionable as I got a nasty rash on my skin the night I moved in (I've been in the area for about 4 days prior so I doubt it's my body not adapting). Also, the rooms reeks of cigarettes and I can find stains and burn marks on several furniture. My bed skirt had a sketchy stain on the corner as well. For a dry'ish environment, mildew was present all over the washroom and the cleaners did not clean the washrooms (I can tell they only wiped like 10% of the glass, you can tell which parts was cleaned with the steam after a shower). Also, the hotel is extremely sketchy after the lobby, they try to cut corners everywhere including not turning on hallway lights (even the high end rooms wing), my mini fridge was unplugged... Worst of all my safe did not work (only 1 of the 3 rooms had a working safe); the safe was simply out of batteries as the screen won't power on, the hotel turns off your Ac even with your card in the power slot. The executive room on the 5 th did not have hot water and the maintenance staff says its normal and to keep the water on to get hot water; it took 15 minutes of running the faucet to get hot water. Security procedure is questionable... All the key cards had the room number on it, so if you dropped the card or it was stolen the person know which room it can open. I reported a lost card for my room and they gave me a temp card, but did not change or deactivate the lost one... (they never asked for my second card to update the security code or figure which one is the lost one). Sadly enough they will deactivate your cards from what appears to be in a random fashion as my entire family had their key cards get rejected on random days. I'm still giving it 2 stars out of pity and that I wasn't hospitalized or mugged/robbed.
