5-Star Hotels in Hunan, China

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing attentive service. They offer free laundry service, which is fantastic – you don't have to worry about it yourself; your clean clothes are delivered right to your room. The breakfast was excellent and varied, with different dishes every day. The braised pork with preserved vegetables was delicious, and the dry-pot chicken was also exceptionally tasty. The chef was very kind and lovely. ❤️ The afternoon tea and late-night congee were also delicious and exquisitely prepared. Plus, the hotel is only a two-minute walk from the landmarks, which is super convenient! 👍

The environment, cleanliness, and service were all great – a quiet spot amidst the hustle and bustle. The only downside is that the entrance road is a bit too narrow, and with shared electric bikes parked haphazardly along the side, it makes it difficult for vehicles to pass through an already small road.

Great staying in Sunshine hotel. When we arrived, it was raining, their staffs made our staying indeed “sunshine”. Alex and Fanny were really kind and willing to introduce Zhangjiajie. We even followed Alex’s suggestion went to Furong village and Fox show. Breakfast selection is huge, all staffs are kind, especially Wang Jie, she helped us to write down our wishes for the year of the Horse as well :)

Traveling to Zhangjiajie with my family, choosing this suite hotel was such a smart decision! I absolutely loved the room facilities; the living room and bedroom were separated, offering ample space for the kids to play freely. The biggest surprise was the super-sized garden-view bathtub, where I could soak while enjoying the mountain scenery. The hotel is surrounded by mountains, providing a quiet and tranquil environment. After a hike, relaxing by the outdoor pool was incredibly comfortable. Parking was also very convenient since we drove ourselves. I have to commend their butler service; they proactively contacted us before check-in to offer travel tips and thoughtfully prepared fruit and extra dishes for breakfast. The attention to detail was impeccable. Visiting during the off-season meant fewer crowds and more tranquility, making it excellent value for money. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

So delighted with my stay at the Chaocong Ancient Street branch in Changsha! Tucked away on an old flagstone street, it offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. Step outside and you're surrounded by street food, and it's a short walk to Wuyi Square. The wabi-sabi style decor is chic and perfect for photos. The room comes with a Dyson hairdryer and Le Labo toiletries, and the bedding is so comfortable I slept soundly. The concierge service was attentive and thoughtful, breakfast was plentiful, and they even had a unique 'magic cube' event where you could swap for milk tea. So many thoughtful details! This is definitely my top choice for travel, I'll be staying here again next time.

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.

Staying at Forest homestay was the best decision we could have made during our trip to China. The service was truly 5 star. The staff at the lodge are so kind, helpful and efficient. We got personalised itineraries each day that changed a lot based on the weather, which was quite mixed! I was very impressed by their efficiency and flexibility. Each day we were driven to and from the park gate (for free). Pickup was within a couple of mins of us messaging that we were ready to leave. All of the staff were wonderful, but Guo Pu was a standout from our trip. Not only did he cart us around and respond to any questions via WeChat within minutes, but he made sure we got the most out of our time there - he pulled fruit from fruit trees at the lodge for us to eat, showed us the various animals they keep onsite, and took photos of us at the sky mirror. He was really great at giving instructions for getting the best effects! (Photos attached) The room was superb - lots of great features like a heated air function in the shower that was helpful for drying off wet clothes after we got caught in a downpour. The room is a rustic style and there’s a few places that could do with a lick of paint and tidying up, but this added more to the rustic charm! The view really was incredible. The location of the lodge might first seem far from the action of the park, but trust me, this is a blessing in disguise! The park gets incredibly busy, especially around Yuanjiajie. The busyness really can ruin the natural beauty. Being close to the Westgate allows you to access the park from the most uncommon direction which is actually marvellous as it means you are less likely to get caught up in crowds and queues as you are travelling around the park in the opposite direction of the vast majority of the tourists. This really makes a difference and maximising the time that you have in the park. Because of the mixed weather, we ended up travelling most of the top sights in the park again on the single good weather day and this worked really well because of our direction of travel. The Westgate is much quieter and the surrounding area is much more peaceful than the busy area around the east gates. This allows you to really enjoy the peace and beauty of nature when you aren’t exploring the park. I would highly recommend staying here when you visit Zhangjiajie, and I’d like to thank all of the staff for such a magical and amazing time.

I stayed in a wooden cabin villa with a huge balcony. The driver was very punctual for station pick-ups and drop-offs, and the front desk service was excellent. The auntie who made rice noodles for us at breakfast was also very kind. The staff and service here are all wonderful. Plus, the hotel is very clean. Even though it's been rainy these past few days in Zhangjiajie, the dehumidification in the room was great at keeping things dry! Waking up to beautiful views from the window every day really boosted my mood.

Traveling with my parents and children, I wanted to leave a review for the room and service. Our whole family, from young to old, was extremely satisfied with the hotel. We especially loved that breakfast was served until 1 PM, which catered to guests with various schedules. My parents were very impressed with the window view; opening the window revealed the misty Tianmen Mountain. The hotel's location is also very convenient, close to the city, making it easy to get around. I particularly want to commend our butler, Lily, for providing detailed itinerary suggestions for both Tianmen Mountain and Wulingyuan. Her tips were incredibly thoughtful and useful – with Lily's guide, we didn't need a tour guide at all! Thank you, Lily!

The lobby offers complimentary popcorn, popsicles, iced drinks, and American-style cookies, which was a nice convenience. The most commendable aspect was the staff's service. We booked a king room and were traveling with a 7-year-old child, and found it to be quite cramped for sleeping. We were prepared to sleep on the floor that night, around 10 PM. We decided to try our luck and ask the front desk if a twin room would be available for the next day. To our delight, the front desk arranged a twin room with two beds pushed together for us that very night! We were so happy! 🥳
