Mount Hua East Peak Hotel

It is the main building on the East Peak so very easy to find. Clean rooms and the heaters were very warm. I went during winter (0 degrees Celsius) and it was icy outside but the rooms were so warm I didn’t need to bring the extra clothes layers! Check-in through the window in the archway. Lots of other travellers (solo, couple, families) there to also see the sunrise. The sunrise platform is a 5min walk away. Toilet is the public one (squat toilet). Recommended bringing lots of tissue and water if you want to wash up a bit. Free hot water in the reception room.

I liked the capsule, it was very comfortable. It is down a long staircase from the hotel so you need to take that into account in the morning when you wake up to go see the sunrise. The toilet was ok, the only thing was that the sink didn't have water so bring what you need to clean your hands.

Staff is not polite and helpful. He didn't answer me that I make sure to stay this accommodation. And I couldn't ask anything to let me know any more.

What you want to know: bathrooms are effectively fancy squat style port a potties. They're up the hill just past the restaurant. Check in down the stairs from the food area at the window in the breezeway. Gentleman there was very helpful. For hot water in the morning, just push the flap aside and enter reception, it's just inside the door on the left. Yes the attendant is sleeping right there. Everyone does this before sunrise, so you're good. The restaurant workers were fairly cold toward us. If you intend to do the plank walk in the morning, for us in May, sunrise was at 530, we arrived at the plank walk entry at 625 before they open at 7, line was over 50 people long, we still waited 3.5 hours until we were on the walk. ENJOY.

The location is great, but the dorm is small and they even put two people sharing a bed, so a 10 people's dorm became an 11. The restroom looks like it's never cleaned and I couldn't find running water to wash my hands or brush my teeth. Anyway, it's your best shot to sleep at the top of the mountain, due to the location.

It rained when I reached the peak. The reception was kind to allow early checkin. There is heater in the 10-bed room. Hot water provided for own sachet of coffee and noodle cup. 1 cup of coffee costs 30 yuan. Breakfast as per photo attached. No water provided. Use cooled hot water for cleaning. . Good comfy bed.
