Jingjia Hotel (Huashan Scenic Area Visitor Center)

Quite close to the Huashan entrance, but it takes some time to walk there. There are some food options around the area. The owner and staff were kind, even though they couldn’t speak any English. There are several buildings for the rooms, so you might be placed in a different one from the photos — but it’s still okay.

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 had a pleasant stay here. Nice, clean rooms and friendly owners. They also have a restaurant nearby.

Really well located next to the scenic area entrance. Modern facilities, great shower.

This is a great little hotel to stay before and after hiking the mountain. The free pick-up and drop-off service makes life so easy. If you need anything just ask the owners. We used Wechat to communicate as my Chinese is very basic. The owners have a little restaurant just around the corner and I had a delicious meal there. There's also plenty of options a short walk to the mountain scenic area. I thought this was great value for money.

Very well located with the tourist center nearby. Nice host and helpful with every thing you might need.
