Mount Hua East Peak Hotel

The views from the top of Dongfeng Mountain are stunning. You can watch the sunrise a short walk from the hotel. There's a snack street with food available all day, plus coffee shops and souvenir stores. We booked a deluxe double room, which was about 15 square meters and included a water set, but it didn't have a drain or a private bathroom.

This place is very close to the East Peak for sunrise and the 'Hawk's Back' Plank Road. I found out upon checkout that the room I checked into actually had a water heater, which was great for hot water. The oil-filled heater in the room kept it very warm, almost too warm! There was a sink near the window in the room, but the water barely trickled out. The bathroom was a temporary public toilet nearby, and the smell and the door mechanism were really something else – not in a good way. After 5 PM, they even removed the sinks there.

The room was very clean. The front desk staff were friendly and I could get hot water there. Even though it was cold outside, the room was warm. The only downside was that the shared bathroom wasn't very clean, but that's just how it is.

Booked a capsule, and given the limited conditions on the mountaintop, it was fine for one night. The front desk staff was very welcoming, and there was hot water available. The sunrise viewing spot is right outside the door. The restaurant offered a good variety of food, a bit pricey, but the taste was good.

The capsule hotel is right inside the Dongfeng Hotel, so the location is fantastic. You can literally step out onto the platform and watch the sunrise. The capsules themselves are new and kept very clean. The views from Dongfeng are absolutely stunning, with panoramic mountains below – it's so picturesque, you almost expect to see a hero's shadow pass by.

Excellent value for money for a hotel on Mount Hua. It's clean and hygienic. If you're planning to watch the sunrise early the next morning, the hotel's location is fantastic. Hot water supply is plentiful, and the service is really attentive. Thumbs up!

I booked the East Peak Hotel to catch the sunrise. At 5 PM, I was still at the North Peak, and it started snowing again. I quickly contacted the front desk, and they confirmed I could check in. I hurried there through the snow, arriving almost at 7 PM. It was a great place to rest and refuel after a hike. It's a 10-person bunk room, but it was very clean, and the oil heater provided plenty of warmth, so I slept very comfortably. The hotel has a large courtyard, and the front desk staff were very welcoming. They told me the sunrise would be at 6:55 AM the next day and even provided bottled cold and hot water, perfect for instant noodles. Alternatively, there were various snack stalls and baozi shops in the back courtyard for dinner. The sunrise viewing platform is just a few minutes' climb up the hillside right next to the hotel. I watched the sunrise after the snow, and staying at the East Peak Hotel was definitely worth it.

While the facilities are average, the hotel has a great location on the mountain.
