Cheap Hotels in Tai'an

"My trip to Mount Tai was full of surprises, starting right from check-in – a free room upgrade! The front desk lady smiled and said I was lucky, but I thought to myself: this isn't luck, it's this hotel warming my heart. The free parking also won me over. Once I parked my car, I didn't move it again. I used the money I saved on parking to treat myself to some Taishan fried chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The room was so clean I actually wondered if the cleaning staff used a microscope. The bed was so comfortable that the moment I lay down, I felt like I was glued to it. I had planned to get up early to climb Mount Tai, but the bed 'kidnapped' me until noon – oh well, the mountain isn't going anywhere, comfort comes first. The location is absolutely unbeatable. It’s so close to the high-speed rail station that I was there before I even knew it after getting off the train. It’s also near Taohua Valley, so I could avoid the crowds entering the mountain, and it was even within walking distance, saving time and effort. In summary: This hotel is so good, I want to recommend it every time I stay there."

"Our stay in the family suite was absolutely fantastic! The room was spacious, bright, and well-laid out, spotlessly clean with no strange odors. All the facilities were complete and well-maintained, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent. Eris provided warm and thoughtful service, responding promptly to our needs. The location is convenient and it offers great value for money, making it perfect for family trips. We'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!"

"Location: I chose a hotel close to Mount Tai Scenic Area for hiking. It's about a 30-minute walk or a 15-minute electric scooter ride to the Hongmen Tourist Center. Plus, directly across from the hotel is the popular Mount Tai Night Market. So, it's super convenient for both sightseeing and dining. P.S. There are lots of shared e-bikes in Tai'an, making it easy to get around by scanning a code! 😁 Cleanliness: The hotel amenities were very clean. 👍👍 Dining: The hotel breakfast was plentiful. 👍👍 Service: The front desk staff had excellent service, explaining the hotel facilities very thoroughly and even prepared a small gift. 🎁 I'll definitely be back next time! 😋"

"The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and they even upgraded our room for free! The hotel's location is excellent, making transportation super convenient. Our room was spotless, the TV had screen mirroring, and the whole room was smart-enabled. They even deliver takeout directly to your room. The breakfast selection was extensive, and the restaurant offers a great view of Mount Tai. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. It's also a short walk to Dai Temple. We'll definitely be back!"

"They claim to be five-star, but this might be the worst Wanda Realm I've ever stayed in. All the upholstered furniture was tattered and worn out. The carpets were also covered in a lot of dust. The hotel has a 'hui'-shaped corridor design, which means the corner rooms have two doors right next to each other, making it very disruptive when people enter and exit. There are large gaps under the doors, allowing you to see shadows of people walking by, and there's absolutely no soundproofing. The hairdryer was the cheapest kind; completely useless for anyone with long hair. The only positive was the bath amenities, a full set of Acca Kappa."

"This hotel is excellent, truly a great hotel. I was climbing Mount Tai with my parents and worried about not getting enough rest, so I spent a long time choosing a hotel. We stayed in the Cozy Family Reunion Suite, which offered great value for money. It had a large heated bed (kang) that was more than spacious enough for three adults. The room was on the second floor, had no strange odors, and featured a private bathroom with hot water. There was a window that could be opened for ventilation, and on good weather days, it even caught the sun from 6 to 8 AM. Despite being street-facing, the room was very well soundproofed, and my parents slept soundly through the night. The hotel service was also excellent; every staff member greeted us with a smile. I even asked the front desk to break some large bills into smaller change. Next time I climb Mount Tai, it would be even better to bring more 1, 5, and 10 yuan banknotes. The breakfast here was absolutely delicious. Perhaps it was due to the mountain spring water, or maybe the chef's excellent skills, but we ate heartily and felt very satisfied. After watching the sunrise and sea of clouds in the morning, enjoying such a rich and delicious breakfast truly brightened our entire day. The millet porridge was thick and creamy, the stir-fried noodles were very fragrant, and the soy milk was also fantastic. They even specially prepared hot mountain spring water, which I found very tasty. The hotel has its own dedicated sunrise viewing spot, which is not at Riguan Peak. For those over 60 or with mobility issues, it's probably better to go to Riguan Peak, which is more crowded but has better infrastructure. The hotel's viewing spot is a bit far, and there's a place where you need to crouch down and crawl through a one-meter-long tunnel using your hands and feet, which isn't very suitable for elderly people. The hotel's location, at the Qianlong Imperial Palace, is likely the quietest among all the mountaintop hotels, perfect for rest. It's right next to the Taohuayuan cable car station and very close to Tianjie. From Nantianmen to the hotel entrance is probably only about 100 meters. At night, there aren't many people walking around outside the hotel for night climbs, which is a big difference from other hotels. Friends who aren't in good physical condition should ideally take the bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen, and then take the cable car up the mountain. For seniors over 60, tickets are free, and bus and cable car fares are half price. Note that you need to book and pay for tickets in advance via the WeChat official account to enjoy the free and half-price benefits. I'm not sure if seniors can still get half-price tickets if they buy them on-site. Remember to bring your ID for ticket verification before boarding; the process is quick. If you get motion sickness, bring motion sickness medicine and plastic bags in advance, as the mountain roads are quite winding. The cable car might occasionally be suspended due to weather or maintenance. Also, the sunrise and sea of clouds might not meet expectations due to bad weather. So, before climbing, be sure to check the weather conditions before deciding to go. When we climbed on May 20th, it was cloudy with light rain, but May 21st was a rare clear, sunny day. Both the sea of clouds and the sunrise were incredibly beautiful. On the bus, we encountered a family with an 87-year-old grandmother climbing Mount Tai. We also saw many elderly people climbing up from the base of the mountain. As long as you have a plan to climb Mount Tai, just go for it!"

"I've stayed in hotels for twenty or thirty years, and this is the first time it felt so much like home. Bringing the whole family to the hotel was exhausting, and I thought check-in would be complicated, but it wasn't. The front desk lady was incredibly gentle and patient, even giving us little gifts and fruit. As soon as we entered, the greeter on the right was fantastic; seeing I had elderly folks and kids, he immediately took our luggage, brought it directly to our room, adjusted all the equipment, and then left. I was going to tip him, but a cleaning lady came in to get something, and he just turned and left, so I felt awkward. The next day, we were climbing Mount Tai, and halfway up, I suddenly realized I'd lost my pair of 999 pure gold earrings. I called the hotel's customer service, half-heartedly asking if they found them to contact me, otherwise, no big deal. To my surprise, the hotel staff called in the afternoon saying they'd found them! Five or six staff members, all for a pair of not-so-valuable earrings, turned the entire room upside down multiple times, searching for hours. They found one in the bathroom and another under the bed. I am truly grateful. Although it's a small thing, it made me feel that the environment and human quality in Tai'an are truly exceptional. I usually dislike visiting Beijing and Shanghai the most, so I never expected the service quality at this hotel to be so good, and it's not because the earrings were less than a gram and not worth much. After descending the mountain in the afternoon, my legs were giving out, and I was in a hurry. My sister went to retrieve the car from the parking space, so I didn't even get a chance to properly thank these staff members. I can only express my gratitude through this review. You all worked hard, thank you! Thank you all so much for leaving me with such wonderful memories in Tai'an, making me want to come back again. Thank you, everyone, for your hard work! 🙏"

"The room is quite large, the smart toilet, the water pressure is very high, but it will not flush the skin pain. The service is super good, I am super big buffalo, and I sent 6 bottles of water at one time. Every staff member is very enthusiastic, the environment is good, and you can see Mount Tai directly outside. The location is also very good, close to the university, a lot of snacks, close to Mount Tai, convenient for climbing, praise and praise!"

"Very nice place, close to the mountain entrance and also the Train station. The staff was super helpful and nice and provided us with walking sticks for the hike. The bathroom was not 100% clean but good enough. The rooms were very spacious with very big windows! I would definitely recommend staying here."

"Here are the things I liked about the hotel: 1. The location is pretty good, right next to Shenghe Shopping Plaza. There are a few stir-fry restaurants nearby that are really tasty. I recommend Guanghe Stir-fried Chicken; we got a coupon online for a 79 RMB double meal and couldn't even finish it all! A taxi to the Tianwaicun Tourist Center at Mount Tai was only 13 RMB. 2. The hotel room was well-maintained, and the bed was quite comfortable. 3. The service was also great. We received welcome fruit upon arrival, and water and snacks when checking out. They even upgraded us to a mountain view room, and we could see the Mount Tai scenery as soon as we entered. 4. Breakfast was quite substantial, and they even had roasted sweet potatoes. My only minor complaint is that the air conditioning was a bit loud. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs. Also, the hotel lobby decor felt a bit dated. Just my personal experience, hope it helps!"
