Cheap hotels in Anji

We reached this hotel by car from Shanghai (hired a driver). We were there during a Chinese bank holiday, yet it was still very peaceful. Some of the main tourist spots were busier, but it’s easy to avoid those if you prefer. We didn’t mind, and everyone was incredibly friendly. The hotel area is absolutely stunning, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and bamboo forests. There are many activities available, and you can book them directly through the hotel: walking, hiking, cycling, rafting, paragliding, and more. The hotel also offers bicycles for rent. Nearby, there are a few restaurants. While there’s no Western cuisine in the area, you won’t need it— the local restaurants serve fantastic, fresh food. The owners are very friendly and patient, even with our poor Mandarin skills :) Your host can help you choose the best places to eat. The hotel itself is exceptional. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The beds are perfect, and the noise level is quite low. There are charming outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy drinks, coffee, ice cream, and more from the small bar. Breakfast is delicious, too. Bottles of water or free to grab. The hosts are truly outstanding—friendly, relaxed, and always willing to help. Whether it’s taking you to scenic spots, booking activities, or drawing personalised walking and cycling maps. Their laid-back approach made us feel at home. For us, the hotel and its surroundings offered everything we wanted: wonderful hosts, delicious food, tranquility, a relaxed vibe, breathtaking nature, and plenty of activities.

I liked everything, the person running the hotel was so helpful. It was a long way from shops and restaurants but he took us in his car which gave him extra pocket money save calling taxi.

The most wonderful host Ernest! Could not have been more friendly and accommodating to any needs asked for. Unbelievable food and service from the staff. Gorgeous location, beautiful views. I really can’t articulate just how good our stay at Arcadia was. Value for money in every aspect. Rooms were incredible and high end furnishings. One of the most comfortable beds I ever stayed on. Just another level of hospitality and comfort.

York Jiang is the manager, he give me excellent attention and help me with the didi! Very nice guy, and the hotel is very clean and the location is perfect, with a lot of restaurants near.

We loved that it was a private owned B&B with very nice hosts and not tourist crowds. The communication had to be with translation-app, but it worked very well. The owners' daughter replied all messages very quickly. Breakfast was authentic and tasty chinese food - and if you needed more, you could always get more. They served their own green tea which was very tasty. And if you wanted to go to a hiking tour, the husband lead you to an off-the-crowd-track alongside the bamboo forest and tea-plants. Down the village next to the lake there were some nice restaurants to have dinner in walking distance.
