Hotels With breakfast in Hunan, China

The butler and proprietress here are incredibly warm and welcoming. When the butler heard we were going to the scenic area, he immediately offered to drive us there without a second thought. In the evening, the proprietress saw we hadn't eaten yet and invited us to join them for a home-cooked meal. That pot of cured beef was absolutely divine, with an authentic Hunan flavor. Breakfast wasn't limited to just a few items; you could order whatever you wanted. The toasted bread deserves special mention – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Paired with a cup of their signature berry tea, that's what a peaceful morning in the mountains feels like. Stepping through the door, you can tell a lot of thought went into the design: solid wood complementing marble, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, rattan furniture, and a splash of red chair, all harmonizing perfectly. The dried lotus pods in the hallway and the photos of peaks on the wall are all Zhangjiajie through the proprietress's lens – stone peaks in the mist, terraced fields in the morning. Wang Wei's line, ”White clouds turn back and gather, green mist enters and disappears,” suddenly made sense. Treehouses are built along the mountain slope; stepping out, you're enveloped by mist, leaves, and the scent of the mountains. This place feels more like a mountain retreat lovingly nurtured. There are also thoughtful details that make you feel well taken care of: both a washing machine and a dryer are available, which is great because it's humid in the mountains, so you don't have to save clothes to wash at home. Toiletries, a first-aid kit, smart home features, and rattan diffusers in the room are all provided. The most remarkable thing is how clean it is – corners, crevices, bedding, everything looks spotless at first glance, and it remained that way even on our third day. Our experience at Cloudland Garden during our stay in Zhangjiajie completely exceeded expectations. The scenery itself is free, but the feeling of being genuinely cared for is what this place provides. Next time we visit, we'll definitely stay here again.

The room was spacious and clean, equipped with a mini-fridge and a projector. The best part about this guesthouse is its environment. Waking up in the morning, with mist shrouding the trees, you can really feel that picturesque 'purple smoke rising from the forest' vibe, and some rooms even offer mountain views right from the window. The owner's service was exceptional; they kindly dropped us off at the central gate in the morning and picked us up within minutes of calling in the evening. The guesthouse is very close to Zhangjiajie's central gate, which is super convenient for exploring Zhangjiajie without backtracking. If you have good stamina, you can even visit Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain all in one day. Although the guesthouse breakfast didn't have a huge variety, it was satisfying. The stir-fries had a home-cooked taste, light and delicious, and all the vegetables were home-grown. When we left, the lovely owner even personally picked some cucumbers for me to snack on during my journey – so thoughtful! Oh, I almost forgot, the guesthouse also offers farm-style picking activities. I'd love to come back during the off-season next time and stay for a few days, slowly enjoying some tea and relaxing!

Zhangjiajie East Gate Boutique B&B | 50 Meters from Scenic Area Entrance, Unparalleled Service, You Won't Want to Leave! For this trip to Zhangjiajie, we spent the first two nights enjoying a slow pace on the west side, then moved to the Guanzhi S B&B near the East Gate for the next two nights. This B&B positions itself as a boutique hotel, not just a regular guesthouse. From the moment you step in, you know it's something special – an artist's entrance, with an artistic atmosphere permeating every corner. The details are meticulously crafted. Many guests here are international tourists and discerning travelers who appreciate quality. It's no exaggeration to say this is the most thoughtful and attentive service I've ever experienced. 📍Location: 50 meters from the East Gate, 7-seater shuttle service provided The B&B is about 50 meters from the East Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, making park access incredibly convenient. However, because it's so close to the scenic area, it's located in a restricted zone. ⚠️ You MUST use Didi (ride-hailing app) to get directly to the B&B's doorstep. Plus, the hotel offers a 7-seater shuttle service, so transportation is a breeze for families. It's also easy to find restaurants after leaving the park, as the area around the East Gate is full of eateries. 🛏️Bathtub King Room: Refined Down to the Details We stayed in a bathtub king room. The room isn't huge but is exquisite in every detail. The bedding is comfortable, and a relaxing soak in the tub at night washes away all the day's fatigue. If you need anything, just scan the QR code by the bed, and it'll be delivered in minutes – a godsend for busy parents! 👶Parents with Kids Rejoice! All These are Free! Forgot kids' toothbrushes, slippers, or shower gel? The B&B has it all; just ask the front desk, and they'll bring it to your room. There's also a 5 sqm kids' play area with a slide, building blocks, and a small rocking horse. Once the kids are in there, they won't want to leave. ☕️Good Morning · Good Afternoon · Good Evening, Service is Superb! This is where the true boutique hotel service shines through: 🌅Good Morning · Huanchi – Exquisite breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. 🍰Good Afternoon · Afternoon Tea – Come back from exploring, enjoy tea and desserts, and instantly feel re-energized. 🌙Good Evening · Evening Porridge + Cocktails – Warm porridge for the stomach, a little nightcap, and finally some alone time for the adults after the kids are asleep. 📸Free Travel Photography + Ethnic Costume Experience! The most delightful surprise – free ethnic costume experience + travel photography! All original photos are provided, with professional touch-ups included! They even gave us a souvenir gift upon check-out. So thoughtful! ✅Countless Value-Added Services: Shuttle service | Free kids' amenities | Free travel photography | Afternoon tea | Evening porridge + cocktails | Souvenir gift… This is, without a doubt, the most attentive B&B I've ever stayed in. Ps: Remember to use Didi to get to the B&B's entrance~ 🚗 🏷️Tags: #ZhangjiajieTravel #ZhangjiajieB&B #GuanzhiSB&B #TravelingWithKidsInZhangjiajie #FamilyB&B #ZhangjiajieTravelPhotography #BoutiqueB&B #ArtisticB&B

Manxin was the third boutique hotel I chose for my trip to Hunan. It's located in a village nestled in the mountains. The owner leased nearly a hundred acres of land to create the idyllic farm he envisioned. Several two-story buildings are artfully scattered amidst rice paddies and lotus ponds. An infinity pool offers unparalleled views of the distant mountains. The rice seedlings have just been planted, and in a few months, one can truly experience the scene described by Xin Qiji: 'A bountiful harvest is spoken of amidst the fragrance of rice flowers, as the croaking of frogs fills the air.' **Environment:** The hotel's environment is exceptional. Surrounded by distant mountains, perched on a gentle slope, every room offers expansive views of lush greenery. The rice fields are close by, and at night, the sound of frogs fills the air. Each room boasts a large balcony. Sitting there, breathing in the fresh mountain air, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, time seems to slow down. **Hygiene:** The hotel's hygiene is top-notch. Despite being surrounded by farmland, there are surprisingly no mosquitoes or other insects in the rooms, which is quite rare. **Facilities:** As a meticulously crafted guesthouse, it offers all the amenities of a high-end hotel, especially the infinity pool with its unbeatable mountain views – truly an inspired touch. Of course, as a 'wild luxury' (my own definition) hotel, to encourage guests to truly reconnect with nature, the rooms intentionally lack televisions. This thoughtful decision is commendable! **Service:** Being far from the city, service is particularly important for guests. The hotel provides dedicated butlers who promptly address guests' questions and requests. Their efficiency is high, usually responding to guests almost immediately. The hotel offers complimentary airport/train station transfers, as well as unlimited complimentary transfers to the Zimu Pass (middle gate) of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is incredibly helpful for guests. **In summary:** This is a uniquely positioned hotel. For travelers who love nature, appreciate peace and a slower pace, and have high standards for hotel quality, this hotel is definitely worth a short stay. **Final Suggestion:** Given its rural location, its own farmland, and the fact that it raises poultry and bees, the hotel should further leverage its unique advantages in terms of ingredients and cuisine. It could also appropriately guide local farmers to cultivate organic vegetables, fruits, and various eco-friendly produce, making a beneficial contribution to rural revitalization. I believe some guests would appreciate this.

I can't recommend this hotel enough! Beautiful property surrounded by the mountains. Rooms are huge and cozy. Bed is super comfortable! Food is amazing. Breakfast is included and lots of affordable options for dinner. They also drove my husband to the nearest pharmacy for medication. They go above and beyond! They do free pickup and drop off from airport/train station. They drive you to East gate of the National Park for free. Everywhere else you have to Didi. Laundry is free and they even fold it for you! Staff has great communication. We were so relaxed on our stay here while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie. We would definitely recommend Foggy Valley to everyone! Thank you to the staff that took care of us. Gonna miss all the cats in the property too 🥹

The standard room I booked was the largest I've ever stayed in at a Ji Hotel. It had a separate dressing area, a work area large enough for three people to sit in, a large TV, and was quiet, clean, and new – a very comfortable stay. It's only a 10-minute walk to the East Gate of Yuelu Mountain, perfect for those taking the route of entering from the South Gate and exiting from the East Gate. Exiting from the East Gate allows you to easily return to the hotel.

I was kindly given a free room upgrade to a high floor with a fantastic view overlooking Orange Island and Yuelu Mountain. The room was clean, hygienic, and tidy, with complete amenities and attentive service. However, the large showerhead in the bathroom was damaged and unusable, though the small handheld one was fine. Downstairs by the river every afternoon, there are various street musicians and performers playing different music at the same time, which blend together into annoying noise. We brought this up, and the staff said they had also complained to no avail, so we just had to keep the windows tightly shut. We chose not to switch to a city-view room because of the superb river view. The hotel's location is super convenient, very close to the subway station—just one stop to Orange Island and two stops to Yuelu Mountain. There are several pedestrian streets and historic blocks nearby, and the Du Fu Jiangge Pavilion is also a short distance away along the river.

The place was nice , the host is very kind and speaks good English. You will find cute kitties living on the ground floor.the owner will help you booking tickets for the attractions if u need for just a small charge . There are always many guests both chinese and foreigners. You can have dinner all together for 30 yuan and experience various local foods. The rooms are clean , there is airconditioning and he will provide a set of sheets and blanket/pillow. He even took all the guests on an evening walk to some cave for free. Totally recommended

A very unique and memorable stay in Zhangjiajie! We stayed 2 nights in the Morning Glow King Suite Bedroom. The highlight of this homestay is its cave concept. The reception area is huge, impressive, and beautifully designed, creating a real wow factor upon arrival. The property also features a cave restaurant where breakfast is served, and dinner can be arranged with advance booking. There is also a cosy cave lounge for guests to relax. Our room was large, comfortable, and very clean. The facilities were well maintained and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Location is excellent. The homestay is hidden behind the famous theatre performance venue but only a short walk to the main street, making it convenient while remaining quiet. Highly recommended for travellers looking for a unique accommodation experience in Zhangjiajie. The cave setting alone makes it worth staying here.

(Excuse the photos of the room - we were so excited to get settled in so I took photos after we had already laid on the bed and put our stuff down) This is going to be a long review because we had such a fantastic stay, but tl;dr, highly highly recommend this hotel. If you’re looking for great service and beautiful views, this is the place. From the very start, before even checking in, the Hidden Hills Villa team reached out and let us know that they would be arranging transportation for us from wherever we were coming from (high speed rail station, airport, etc). They also asked us to add them on WeChat for the 24 hour butler service (we asked for some necessities one night and they delivered it within a few minutes). They added us to a group chat with the chef, front desk for amenities, and the owners Joyce and Ethan themselves. Before we even got to the hotel, our breakfasts for the next day were ordered and our itinerary was made by Joyce (more on that). We felt bad because we were checking in late at around 11:30pm because we were running late from our previous excursions. But Joyce and Ethan were more than accommodating and still greeted us to go through everything. Their warm welcome was much appreciated after such a long day. Since we got there at night, we couldn’t see the views yet but the hotel itself was already spectacular. The room was very clean and has a nice relaxing concept. The room was stocked with tea (grown in the mountains of Zhangjiajie), water and other beverages, and snacks, all of which are restocked everyday. The bed felt great, even for my mom who is very picky with her mattresses. They also have a regular pillow and a memory foam pillow, variety for all kinds of sleepers which I love. We booked 2 rooms and both were great. I tend to be picky with bathrooms and this one was very clean and the showers had great pressure and the soaps were stocked. On to the breakfast. We tried the western breakfast the first day and the Chinese breakfast the next day. We enjoyed both - fresh ingredients and great taste. The chef was also very kind and efficient - we gave them the time we wanted breakfast and he had them ready immediately upon entering the room. We unfortunately sat next to some guests who were slightly rude to the chef but he handled it gracefully and moved on. They also offer lunch and dinner options for purchase but our schedule didn’t allow us to try it out, but they have western and Chinese options that looked good. We loved that this place is far enough from everything that you still have that secluded feel but close enough to the city that rides there only took a few minutes. From the hotel, you have direct views of the Avatar mountains and we were always in awe by how beautiful they looked. Joyce is an English speaking tour guide so she was very knowledgeable with everything. She sent me a very detailed itinerary based on our preferences - we followed it exactly and saw everything we wanted to see in Zhangjiajie. She also educated us a lot on the local culture and shared tea and wine with us. She was so welcoming and a great host! Ethan was also incredibly kind and made sure we had our transportation in order when leaving the hotel. Joyce and Ethan have a wonderful concept here at Hidden Hills Villa, and we definitely will be back. The only thing we didn’t get to do was the calligraphy that they offer because we didn’t have the time. But we got a peek at the room and it looks very authentic and fun!
