Mount Lu Kuling Hotel

The rooms are comfortable, fairly recently renovated (within this Century) and the staff was nice if not very knowledgeable or accurate with the infoformation they give out. The young man sent to make the WiFi work finally succeeded after five eor six tries and I am writing this review from my room. This is no five star establishment but it doesn't't claim to be, and judging from the price of roughly 200 rmb per night it's not a bad deal. The hot water works, the heating system works and the location in the middle of .town is very convenient. Our room rate did not include breakfast and the charge at the hotel buffet was 20 rmb per person. It's not worth it. All in all we had a pleasant stay and would probably come back here again as we haven't seen or heard of a better alternative in Lushan.

Granted, I did not stay in the other hotels, but after taking a walk through the Gulin town, it seems that this hotel is more of the decent ones (compared to motel-ish that are scattered throughout the town) The hotel is pretty dated, the interior is not extremely clean - but after travelling extensively in China, I give it a satisfactory rating because of: 1. There is decent hot water 2. There is decent heating 3. Decent WiFi connection 4. Very helpful staff offering advice and arrangement for tours and such When you are climbing Lushan in the cold, these 2 creaturely comforts cannot be overstated. Other points: 1. The hotel doesn't accept overseas credit cards 2. The breakfast for 15rmb is nothing to scream at, but does offer a good filling with regards to the price. 3. Very convenient location - the sightseeing bus terminal is right next to the hotel, therefore after a long day at the mountains, you don't walk very far to the hotel 4. There is an outside section that is separate from the main building. There are no lifts in this separate building.

I love this hotel nice rooms good view of the lake for most rooms. Nice buffet on bottom floor for breakfast and a nice small bar. Big gym and swimming pool. Great location with lots of restaurants near by and hotel rooms have nice bathtub and shower, comfy beds, tv with lots of channels my favorite is HBO HD and also good room service.
