The bus dropped us off at the No. 1 Camp drop-off point, which is right in front of this hotel. I saw a long flight of stairs, and tons of moss on them. I thought, OK, it's just moss. Then we got up the stairs and went into the reception area. All was dark, it smelt musty, and looked deserted. It looked like a set for a horror film. I thought to myself, OK, the reception isn't important, it's the rooms that matter. We were then shown up many flights of stairs to our room - some of them not covered. It was raining, and we got wet. When we got to the room, it was very sparsely furnished, and the beds were hard. Worst of all, there was no heater!! It was freezing in the room even though it was summer! (A caveat, though, I live on the equator and what's cold to me might not be cold to those living in temperate areas. The hotel staff members were all wearing fairly thick jackets however.) The toilet is lit by only one light, which makes it rather creepy and dark to shower in. When we went down to the hot springs, it looked rather ill-maintained. There doesn't seem to be any one at the reception generally either - they all huddle in a small closed room next to the reception and you have to knock on that door if you want anything. The staff also do not offer you help with your luggage. There are spiderwebs in the toilet and the hotel rooms, and there might be dung lying around the hotel area - we encountered two lumps on our way to the hot spring. The TV is very grainy, and the toilet ventilator is incredibly noisy.
What's good about the hotel: The breakfast is decent, if you like Chinese food. There is no choice, the person in charge serves you whatever's on hand for the day - for us, a bowl of noodles each. The showers don't run out of hot water, and the water flow is not great but it's alright. The towels are clean. The rooms are alright as well - no mice or other vermin, except maybe a spider or two, and dead moths about. A very basic sort of hotel - I would say this is more of a hostel than a hotel per se. The hostels I stayed in in Japan inspired much more confidence than this hotel (and were cheaper to boot).
A word of caution: The staff here DO NOT speak English! They only speak Chinese!
I write this for the international traveller - stay away from Hailuogou generally. This hotel was bad, but all the other hotels in this region seem equally bad! We stopped by those hotels on the way up to the glacier, and they all seem pretty run down! The local tourists seem OK with this sort of standard - I overheard them saying that this hotel was pretty good - but I would think this isn't what the average international traveller is used to.
