Taishan International Youth Hostel Reviews

Hostel was well signposted. In an interesting area and close to Dai Temple. Staff had enough English to communicate most information. Dorm was clean and a/c worked. They don't book train tickets but give directions to the place one can buy tickets a few blocks away. Map given out by hostel is adequate for most purposes. Need to add directions for arrival by EXPRESS Train. One needs to take the #18 bus to the regular train station. Then #1 or #7 bus per their instructions on the website.

very conveniently located just south of the dai temple, very friendly and helpful staff, great place to stay when visiting tai an

I only stayed here for one night before heading up Taishan and it seemed really nice. The facilities were very good and it was clean. Beware, the directions given to find the hostel are terrible and the buses that you can take to get to the hostel stop running at 7pm. It is only a few blocks from the station and some walking directions would be really good to post on the website. I finally had to ask a Chinese person who even needed to call the hostel for directions. Other than that is was good.

The thing I felt missing was the restaurant common to many of the hostels we've stayed in, here in China. It allows for mingling of customers, and provides it's own entertainment during the evenings. We saw many foreign people come through the door, but weren't able to sit down and chat over a beer or dinner.

It's a wonderful staying experience, the all staffs are very kind. I like the architectural style, but the equipments of shower should be improved quickly.

very nice hostel with big rooms and big beds. staff really nice and helpful, although the communication was a little bit difficult.

Staying at Taishan international hostel was a great choice for climbing Taishan! It is centrally located in the small city and the staff were great with helping us to re-organise our train tickets and friendly. Wi-fi was good. Good common area although didn't see any foreign travellers. Would recommend for another stay!

It's a cold time of year and the hostel didn't really provide a nice warm haven from the winter freeze. I slept with my jacket on. Other than that, it's a nice place and I imagine pretty nice out of the off-season. The perfect location for starting your Taishan climb.

Big Hostel with big rooms and big beads, cold in the winter but enough near to everything. Good price for the service. A suggestion, print out the city maps before arriving because the taxi's driver don’t like work for so less distance (hold rail station- hostel)
