Mountain view Hotels in Huayin

The interior has the cozy charm of a traditional mountain chalet: warm, welcoming, and full of character. Excellent value for money. The manager personally picked us up from the train station and guided us to the nearby entrance for our Huashan hike, which was incredibly helpful. They also offer in-house meals (pictures), a great option if you prefer to stay in for dinner. The location is ideal right at the foot of the mountain range, with tourist spots and the temple where the middle route to the summit begins all within a 30-minute walk. The surroundings are peaceful and scenic, making it a perfect base for exploring Mount Huashan. Highly recommended for anyone planning a visit.

The homestay is run by a family, with the lady boss leading the crew. She’s pretty much OMO, and it will help if you can speak mandarin. And it explains why she doesn’t pick up calls at times. Me and my wife are Chinese by ethnicity, and we can handle the language, so it helps a lot with the arrangements. Her son picked us up at the train station and brought us to the homestay. It is a 3 storey building, no lifts, but well furnished, and overlook the mountain. Meals are not included in the package, but we purchased her home cooked food during our 2 nights stay. There is a menu for it. She managed to secure cable car tickets for us into Mount Hua after knowing we only got entrance and shuttle bus tickets. She also advised us on buying shuttle bus tickets exiting the mountain to the visitor centre. We bought them without incident on the spot when exiting. Complimentary gloves were provided. And on the actual day, she brought us to the entrance after securing all the cable car tickets. We were picked up by her son in the evening at the end of the trek, with the shuttle bus dropping us at a stop near the homestay. Communication throughout was via WeChat. We checked out the final morning, and she arranged to send us to the train station for us to continue our journey. Our thanks to her and her family for making our visit a smooth, comfortable and enjoyable one. 5 stars.

I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The location is a bit far from the city center, but it’s close to the Huashan scenic area, making it perfect if you plan to visit the mountain. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful environment, this accommodation is an excellent choice. The place feels homely and welcoming. They provide free shuttle services to the Huashan ticket office and the train station, which is very convenient. The common area on the first floor is also very relaxing. Tip: Call the accommodation in advance to arrange a pick-up from the train station. Didi taxi drivers at the station tried to overcharge me, so the free shuttle is a much better option. There is also a small strip mall near the Huashan ticket office with more shops and restaurants if you need anything.

The environment is good, a three-story building in a large courtyard, with enough space, air conditioning, hot water, etc. The boss and his wife are also very nice. They will help you with anything they can. They knew I was climbing Huashan and gave me a pair of gloves. They rode an electric bike to pick up a parcel for me early in the morning. Don't worry about staying here

Room is spacious and reasonably clean. Bed is comfortable. A family operation, is literally 3-5 mins walk from the Tourist Service Area, where one can purchase the entry ticket and is the entry point to ascend the north peak (including to reach the north peak cable car). If you prefer to hike all the way up instead of cable up, the start of walking trail is slightly more than 30mins walk away but seems like there is a free shuttle bus that would transfer people between this Tourist Service Area and the start of the walk trail. If you come by ”normal” train, you are about 10mins drive away. The husband of the hotel provides a one time service to either pick up or drop off to the train station. I suggest to use it for the latter as you would have hoards of cabbies trying to bring you from station. Currently the area where is the hotel is partially obscured by a major road expansion but don't let the cabby coax you to cancel this booking and move to their recommended hotels in the more touristic ”village centre”. On paper it sounds great but I find most eateries there sell the same choice of food and goods. For food, the wife of the hotel also operates a eatery on the ground floor of the hotel which I find tasty and reasonably priced. Note that this is budget hotel of simple fittings but I personally find of good value for money for a couple of nights after a long day up in the mountain. (I believe parking might be free there too but do check with owner to confirm).

We took the high-speed rail from Jingzhou, Hubei to the hotel where we stayed on the first night in Huashan, preparing to climb Huashan the next morning. The hotel is very close to Yuquanyuan, the starting point of the hiking trip, about a five-minute walk away. The shop owner was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce the precautions for mountain climbing and told me where to have a cheap breakfast.

We had a fantastic stay at the campground. The view of the mountain was absolutely stunning. The kids had a great time running around in the open space. One warning: Didi drivers will try and add a charge of 20 RMB to your bill for the Huashan Scenic Area parking. However, the parking is free for 30min - we had to contact Didi twice to get the parking fees removed.

The check-in for the capsule pods and the rooms are at Yingyang Cave (at the bottom of East Peak, next to Zhengxin Fried Chicken), not at Yaozifanshen on East Peak itself. **Important Note!** In mid-June, you can't see the sunrise from Yingyang Cave. You'll need to climb to the top of East Peak beforehand. There's a public restroom outside (hygiene is so-so). Inside the courtyard, there's running water and a hot water dispenser. In June, water is continuously available. The room has four capsule pods. I recommend bringing disposable bedding as it can be a bit damp. Definitely bring earplugs and an eye mask. The capsule doors only have two panels and cannot close completely. Inside the pod, the light, ventilation, and power outlet all work fine. Don't expect too much when you're up on the mountain. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Perfect for staying on the mountain without over paying. Close to the East Peak for sunrise. Go in without expecting much. I stayed in the dormitory room (bring ear plugs). There are no amenities, although there is plenty of food and drinks nearby. Clean, comfortable, would stay again anytime.

The location is great — it’s the closest accommodation, about a 20-minute walk from the West Cable Car station. The view is beautiful, and the room was clean. However, there was no water provided at all. The toilets were dirtier than the public ones around the mountain, and there were only two available. It was difficult to change clothes, and I even had to buy bottled water just to wash my face. The room arrangement was very poor. As a solo female traveler, I was placed in a room with two men, even though there was another room full of women with available beds. When I asked the female staff to change rooms, she refused. I then asked the staff at the counter, who allowed me to move to the women’s room. I understand it’s a mixed dorm, but placing one woman in a room with two men while there are open beds in a women’s room doesn’t make any sense and felt uncomfortable.
