06 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is very good if you are going to climb Mounta Taishan and nothing else - its 2 mins walk from Dai temple and u can take taxi that costs you only 7 yuan from hostel to Red Gate and start climbing. It's also very nice that washing is free for you.

Disliked: Basically the staff were helpful, especially if its one of the girls, the guy however is a little 无所谓 and you have to ask him constantly to answer with details. Apart from that, it was all great.

22 November 2010

Liked: It is the only hostel in Tai'An. It is close to the spectacular Mount TaiShan

Disliked: This hostel is the worst we have stayed at in China in 4 weeks. The beds are as hard as wooden planks, there is no wifi operating in the rooms and the staff did the absolute bare minimum to help us with even the simplest of questions. It felt like we had checked into a soulless back street motel. Unfortunately there are very few other options for cheap accommodation in Tai'An so only stay here if you have to ......(fortunately climbing TaiShan is well worth it)

14 November 2010 Surina would recommend this property

Liked: Spacious and clean room in a good location to climb Taishan (which we highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing it), which is about half an hour walk away from the entry gate.

Disliked: We had some very noisy guests staying next door but this is not the hostel's fault.
