    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    Perfect location — the trekking route from Huashan ended right next to this place. Beautiful, new, spacious, and clean rooms. An incredibly kind and helpful host — he spoke fluent English, drove us to the ticket office free of charge, and allowed us to store our luggage at the hotel while we were hiking on Huashan. As a bonus, he even let us use the showers after we returned from the hike. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

    The bed sheets and room are clean. Bathroom inside the room. The owner even accompanied me to the bus station at 0530 hrs in the morning. Also very good to stay before and after climbing the mountain.Just Infront of the main entrance. A lot of restaurants nearby.

    Good place to overnight when visiting Mount Hua

    • Queen Room

    Bear in mind that this is strictly a place to overnight, leave your stuff while visiting the mountain, stay the time you need to rest, and use wifi for internet. Don't expect anything else than basic standards. And yes, you have to look for a shop amidst many others in a street.

    The family running the place is friendly and supportive. Certainly, if you are able to communicate in chinese, that improves and eases your experience, but they know that foreigners may show up and make their best to provide the accomodation you are looking for. There is specially one kind girl with English skills, which is very helpful for the essentials. If you plan to hike the path from the foot of the mountain, just need to cross a street to reach the entrance. Moreover, the visitor center is within a 20-30 minute walk, going directly through an avenue, and a taxi ride costs around 10 RMB.

    it's super difficult to find if you don't have the name of the shop behind which the hostel is located - ask the owners for the shop name and tell the taxi or didi driver that they have to go to this shop.

    Very nice place run by a family close to the Huashan mountain. Please be aware this hostel is behind a shop - and by behind I mean you need to go into the shop and walk out on the other side to get to the hostel part so when you are trying to find it, find a shop, don't look for the hostel:) Room was nice and clean and located on the main street with many restaurants, shop with nice assortment is actually downstairs from the hostel but there are also other on the same street. Very close to the free bus to the national park, the staff showed us the way as again the bus stop is accessible via a (different) shop :D The lady owner is great (and her small daughters are super cute - teach them English if you stay there!:) and she was so kind to drive us to train station for free after we checked out, very helpful.

    Kommunikation, especially over booking.com would be better in English. We had a hard time translating Chinese to English in a country that blocks Google translate.

    First of all: this is a hostel, so know what to expect. We were very happy with our stay there. We got exactly what we booked:a room with a bed with a private bathroom. The room was clean, had an ac and a western style toilet. It was in great condition, if you don't forget that this is a hostel and not the Hilton. The staff was very friendly, helped us with our trip the next day and even picked us up from the train station for free, as we were getting in late.

    I found a cigarette bud and hair from previous guest on the bathroom floor.

    Location is superb, very near to the entrance of Huashan trail (especially if you can buy ticket online). Lots of eateries nearby. The hostel itself has a big store. One of the staff speaks English and was very helpful for our hike.

    The location and the staff. I have been beaten by a wasp during the huashan hiking and the daughter of the owner helped me to get cured. She brought me to the closest hospital and she stayed with me during my recovery, taking care of relationship with doctor and nurses. I really thank her.

    100% would recommend for budget travelers
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Cleanliness could be a little better, especially in the bathroom. There was a wet cigarette butt in the shower when I came in, the whole bathroom smelled bad. This is not actually a 'Youth Hostel', just a budget hotel. If you're expecting a hostel vibe, you'll be disappointed. These misnamings are quite common in China.

    The staff is great. Nini drove me around, picked me up from the train station and took me there again when I left. All for the sake of providing a good service, she didn't charge me for that. Location is good - a 2 minute walk to where you get the free shuttle to Huashan Tourism Center, and it's on a street with dozens of local restaurants. There is also a convenience store on the ground floor

    toilet flush didnt seem to work well.

    The hotel owners were very helpful. I had phone network issue and the owner willingly lent me his local phone to call my telco customer service line. The elderly grandma also helped us hail a taxi after check out so that the taxi driver would not overcharge us. I bought some items from the grandma's stall and she gave me 2 goodluck red string to tie up in Mt Hua. I brought the strings back and turned them into lucky stars instead.

    Address and nap in booking.com is not correct. The staff tries to help in English but it is still very difficult to understand. The staff does not answer the messages to arrange details before arriving.

    Excellent price for value The staff were always ready to help.
