Mountain View Hotels in Tai'an

Facilities: The room had two 1.5-meter beds that could be pushed together, which was perfect for our family traveling with two children. It also had a refrigerator, a balcony, and a separate wet/dry bathroom – the room's amenities were excellent. Ambiance: The hotel is in a newly built and renovated building. The lobby is very grand and offers mountain views. Service: Upon check-in, I realized they are part of the Hanting Group (like Home Inn), and this seems to be their upscale brand. Most guests here are climbing Mount Tai, and the front desk provides complimentary hiking poles, prayer ribbons, portable raincoats, and bottled water – a thoughtful 'four-piece set' for hikers. They were extremely well-prepared. Cleanliness: The restaurant is integrated with Lu Cai Gen on the first floor. Breakfast was very rich, maintaining chain standards while also featuring local Tai'an specialties. Overall, I was very satisfied. This was the best hotel we stayed at during our 6-day, 5-night trip to Shandong.

Reception staff as well as cleaning ladies are very considerate and polite.. local hotel but has nice touches.. the midnight snack for you is simple but thoughtful. I like this local hotel as it is next to local apartments and shops, sipermarket and all..it feels nice living a short period of time with locals to experience their way of life. Bed and pillows are good..many hotels pillows are not to expectation. Laundry service is great.

We were thoroughly satisfied with everything: the facilities, cleanliness, ambiance, and service. The owner's family truly embodied the renowned hospitality of Shandong. Just as other reviews mentioned, the wontons made by the owner's mother were absolutely delicious, generously sized with plenty of filling, and excellent value for money. The only minor drawback was that we arrived during a heavy rainstorm, which resulted in the mountain being closed. We didn't hesitate to extend our stay, hoping for better weather tomorrow so we can finally take in the breathtaking panoramic views. (I didn't manage to take photos of the room from our first night, so I'm including two photos of our extended stay room.)

The room was very clean, and the landlady was very kind. Since I checked in very late at night and had a cold, I felt the landlady took great care of me 🥺. When I mentioned wanting to hang my laundry to dry, she even got me a clothes rack.

The location is great, just a ten-minute drive from Tai'an Station. There's a shopping mall and an old street right next to the hotel with plenty of restaurants and snack options. The staff at the hotel lobby were very friendly and helpful, answering all my questions. The breakfast was rich and varied. I was also able to store my luggage while hiking Mount Tai and pick it up after I was done. Everything was perfect except for one thing: there's always a truck parked in front of the hotel entrance, making it impossible for ride-sharing services with luggage to pull up directly to the door. Guests have to get out nearby and drag their luggage in themselves, which was the case both when I arrived and when I left. It seems like this truck is permanently parked there. I don't understand why the hotel entrance, designed for guests with luggage, isn't kept clear for easy drop-off and pick-up. I'm docking one point for this and hope the hotel can improve it! Otherwise, the hotel is really great and I highly recommend staying here!

Hotel room is lovely - the color scheme and concept are so refreshing. The layout is great and a good size for a couple. I like the dressing table for ladies with two mirrors. Furnishings are high quality and amenities very good. Breakfast was a good spread with a good balance of both local and international selections. Location is right next to the Hilton and opposite Wanda Mall which has a wide selection of food.

I was incredibly lucky to book a room during the peony blooming season. The moment I entered the courtyard, I was greeted by the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. The design and arrangement of the courtyard's small bridge, flowing water, and greenery were truly delightful. The service was excellent; the receptionist was incredibly friendly and welcoming. While the breakfast wasn't extensive, it was delicious, and it was the energy that sustained me through my 7-hour hike up and down the mountain. The hotel environment is very tranquil, and it's very close to the Lihongmen trailhead—only 18 minutes from the ticket gate—a perfect warm-up after breakfast. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the experience and highly recommend staying at the courtyard in mid-April; it truly is a garden bursting with the fragrance of flowers!

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.

To be honest, my initial reason for booking was to make my Mount Tai trip less rushed. I was also a bit worried that the courtyard layout might be noisy. However, all the guests that night were very quiet, and the guesthouse staff spoke softly. Plus, the guesthouse's location is truly unique, offering a rare sense of peace and comfort. It was lovely! 😌

Given the limited resources on the mountain, having a room with hot water was truly satisfying. The food we ordered was delivered to our room, and it was delicious and generously portioned. We got a wake-up call to see the sunrise the next day, but unfortunately, there were too many people, and we couldn't keep up with the main group. We found our own spot to watch it, and it was an unforgettable experience. A big thanks to the front desk staff for providing hot water; carrying a hot water bottle made watching the sunrise much less cold.
