Mountain view Hotels in Tai'an

Just as I've reviewed before, the photos match the actual room perfectly. What surprised me most was the design of the bathtub. The room also had a weight scale, body lotion, and laundry detergent. After climbing Mount Tai (from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen, Nantianmen, and Yuhuangding), even after a massage (there's a spa downstairs with an 18% discount for guests) and stretching, my thighs were still sore. A hot bath was incredibly soothing. Not immersing my lower body completely really helped with lactic acid dissipation, allowing me to continue climbing the East Imperial Road the next morning. On the B2 level, there's a chain restaurant (Lucai Gen), and their double meal is more than enough. There's also a gym and a laundry room. I also asked the front desk if I could heat up my packed food in the staff microwave, which was great! The breakfast also featured local specialties like jianbing with green onions and qiangguo noodles. Very good! If I come to Mount Tai again, I'll definitely stay here.

The hygiene was good, and the service was excellent. The staff were very helpful, giving us tips for exploring Mount Tai and advising us not to drive to Tianwai Village ourselves. They told us to park at the hotel, which saved us a lot of time and hassle. It's about 5 kilometers from Tianwai Village, and getting a taxi there was quite convenient.

The guesthouse is perfectly situated at the foot of Mount Tai, just a short walk from the Hongmen Visitor Center. Our room was spotless and cozy, the small courtyard was wonderfully quiet, and the overall design was quite tasteful (I regret forgetting to take photos!). The owner is incredibly warm and cheerful, and even kindly offered pick-up and drop-off service near Hongmen. We had planned to climb the mountain the following day, but the weather forecast predicted rain, making us worried about our itinerary. To our relief, the owner checked a cloud map, confidently assured us it wouldn't rain, and even helped us plan the perfect route. True to their word, the next day was beautifully cool and refreshing, resulting in an absolutely fantastic experience. Thanks to contacting the owner in advance for some excellent packing advice, we were well-prepared and didn't have to carry any unnecessary luggage. Overall, a truly wonderful stay!

The room, bedding, and everything else were very clean, unlike other B&Bs with various issues (like a sagging part of the bed). There's also a washing machine available. The room didn't feel damp at all. Plus, the inn is right next to the Taishan Hongmen Tourist Center, which is super convenient. The surrounding area is also quite quiet. Finally, the two owners are genuinely wonderful people, very welcoming and enthusiastic. As a solo traveler, I absolutely loved it here!

It was pretty good, and the price was reasonable. The courtyard was quite nice. The breakfast selection was varied, but all dishes were freshly cooked. There was its own parking lot, so you could park there for an extra day if you were going hiking.

This hotel definitely deserves a five-star rating! My room was incredibly spacious, and they even upgraded my room type and gave a complimentary breakfast for my child, which had a great variety. The night view from the 24th floor was amazing. There's a mall nearby with a popular stir-fried chicken place (expect a queue!), and a small night market. The hotel has an adjoining ground-level parking lot; just give your license plate number to the front desk when you leave, and parking is free, which is super convenient. Even though prices went up during the May Day holiday, it was still very reasonably priced compared to other hotels. If you come during off-peak times, the value for money would be exceptional. The only minor downside is the lack of a mini-fridge in the room. It felt a bit odd, especially since they provided a Dyson hairdryer – you'd expect a standard amenity like a fridge. The hotel is about 9 kilometers from Tianwai Village at Mount Tai, roughly a 20-minute drive. You can park at Taishan Hospital, which is right across from Tianwai Village. Just make sure to park before 7:30 AM.

1. Two families traveled together and booked the same room type. We were offered a choice between a hard and soft bed, and we chose the soft one. However, we regretted it; it was too soft. Sitting on the edge, the bed sank in too much, providing no support. Lying down completely was fine, it didn't sink too deep. 2. I found hair and dust bunnies on the floor, which suggests it wasn't cleaned properly. 3. Everything except the dental kit and disposable face towels was charged, which was a first for me. There was no tissue box or complimentary water provided in the room. Usually, hotels provide two bottles of water and a small pack of tissues. I assumed they would, so I didn't bring any, which was very inconvenient. 4. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was broken. It only blew air, no cold air, so it basically functioned as a fan. Even then, it only reached half of one bed, and the airflow was unstable and intermittent. The other two people couldn't feel any air at all. We were sweating all night, constantly waking up and couldn't sleep. I had to stand under the AC for a bit to get some air. It's old and broken and needs replacing. The owner refunded some of the cost when we checked out early, but we didn't get a good night's sleep, and the kids were grumpy. We felt lethargic all day and still had to go hiking – it was a miserable day.

The room was very clean and I slept great. The breakfast was also very generous (I cleaned my plate, this picture was just taken before I finished eating). All in all, I have no complaints, and the price is very reasonable. I passed by this hotel many times as a child, and I finally decided to come and experience it myself.

The hotel has a great location, very close to the entrance of Mount Tai scenic area, within walking distance. The main building of the hotel is next to the reservoir, and you can enjoy mountain and water views from the rooms, which is very comfortable. The service staff are also very attentive, contacting you before check-in to explain some details. However, the water pressure in the shower in the room was a bit weak, making showering uncomfortable; also, the air conditioner was a bit noisy. The breakfast was quite plentiful, but it would be better if a buffet was offered, since everyone's tastes are different, and the set menus cannot cater to everyone's appetite.

The condition of the room was absolutely dreadful and dilapidated, with mould on walls and in the bathroom, multiple stains on the walls which looks like mud/blood/killed bugs, and the bathroom smelled really badly. We were given a room with blood stained duvet cover and bedsheets, which was promptly changed after we pointed it out. The only reason that I'm not leaving a one star review is because the receptionist was very kind and professional and he tried the best to sort out the bedsheet situation. We did not request a room change since even the corridors were messy and the courtyard was full of rubbish, so we assumed that the whole place would look like the room we were assigned, especially that we mentioned in our booking that we are on a honeymoon, so we expected to see some effort on hotel's side. The positives: kind staff, beautiful architecture (but the place is not cleaned often enough), central location so you don't have to climb more stairs as opposed to other hotels, free water and toiletries in the room (although I refused to shower in that bathroom), a beautiful location for the morning sunrise watching and a polite tour guide. Attaching the pictures of the beautiful sunrise. I didn't have high expectations since I was keeping in mind that it's a place that's difficult to access, and I rarely leave bad reviews for any accommodation, but I think that it's needed to point out to the property what needs improving so they don't go out of business. I have no idea how on earth they have a 4* ranking. Perhaps we were given a low standard room, however, we went for one of the cheapest options and I was still more expensive than staying in a 5* hotel in Shanghai (that's where we were before)
