Hotels near Tai'an Old Street, 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 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!

Great location! After hiking Mount Tai, I got to the hotel in a flash. There are plenty of food options nearby, so I had a satisfying meal. The water temperature in the hotel was perfect for a nice, refreshing shower. The hotel was quiet, and I slept soundly until morning. It's also very close to the high-speed train station, just a few minutes walk to get inside. What a wonderful trip!

The hotel's breakfast is rich and varied. It also has its own parking lot on the underground level, which is very convenient. The front desk was very considerate and gave me a parking card. The room was large and clean, and the breakfast was perfect. It is recommended to stay here.

The B&B was a surprise. It is located by the water. The scenery is pleasant, quiet and warm. The room is comfortable and spacious. The boss gave me fruits. There is a large bathtub and a disposable bathtub cover is provided, so I took a nice soak. Breakfast is a fixed set meal, which includes boiled eggs, milk, grilled sausages, custard buns, rice porridge, stir-fried vegetables, pickles and noodles. If it is not enough, you can add more. The next day, they also made egg fried rice at our request, which was very considerate. The chef is very capable, and all the dishes he ordered taste great. I like the prawns braised with cabbage, beans braised with pork ribs, and hand-shredded cabbage. It's right next to the bus stop, and you can take the mountain bus in 10 minutes' walk.

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.

Pros: Nice environment, clean and tidy rooms; Very close to Hongmen, only a five or six-minute walk, convenient for hiking; The landlady is very friendly and proactive in resolving issues; Cons: Poor soundproofing; sounds from the lobby can be clearly heard from the first-floor room, waking me up around midnight; Limited hot water supply; barely enough for one person to shower at a time, requiring a long interval between showers for two people; Poor communication between the landlady and others; items that were agreed upon and placed in the refrigerator were all thrown away.

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)

The room was spacious and bright, with soft and comfortable bedding. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the toiletries were of good quality, with nice-smelling shampoo and shower gel. The location was also convenient for getting around, and the parking lot was quite large.

🚿 Hotel Name: Shenqi Hotel (Taishan Yuhuangding Branch) ⭐⭐⭐ 🚞 Address: No. 18 Tianjie, Yuhuangding, Mount Tai, Tai'an City 🚚 Parking: No vehicles on the mountaintop 🌈 Style: 2000s hotel vibe 💼 Room: 1. The rooms are relatively new; the dorm room is a 20-person room, converted from a large hotel suite. 2. No toiletries, no towels, no slippers, no power outlets by the bed. Everything is based on roughing it for one night on the mountaintop. 3. The bedding wasn't damp, but some beds didn't have sheets, probably because the bedding wasn't changed and washed in time. For 100 yuan, it's already considered good value for money. 👦🏻 Service: Average. The staff are all young, handsome guys, handling check-in and check-out normally. 🚫 Cons: 1. It's already great to have a hotel like this on the mountaintop, and it offers good value for money. 💡 Tips: 1. Book in advance, as both rooms and beds are highly sought after. 2. There's an in-house restaurant, and a small shop next to the front desk on the first floor. ❗ This is an honest review based on my personal expense, and the above represents only my personal opinion.
