Hostels in Hunan, China

Host is a super nice guy and very helpful. He helps you book your tickets as well as with communication and he has many good tips for you. Usually people hang downstairs, there are also three cute cats. Usually people order food and have dinner together. You will easily meet fellow travelers here. The place is otherwise very basic and could need repairs and more frequent cleanups. But that is not the focus here. The hostel is also close to the starting point to Tianmen mountain. PS: The package for the avatar mountains has hiked to 450 RMB including cablecars and elevator (you can use the ticket on 4 consecutive days). 12 RMB to take the bus to its south gate. You need two days to finish the avatar mountains. Then one more day for Tianmen mountain. Another day for the canyon, if you want.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel in Wulingyuan. The location is excellent—just a short distance from the entrance to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help with directions and local tips. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet after a long day of hiking. The common areas were cozy, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it easy to meet other travelers. It offered great value for money, and everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Wulingyuan and would happily stay here again.

The location is perfect, around the corner from the bus station, 200 mts from the bridge and main attractions and 1.2 km from East Gate. Plenty of restaurants and shops next to the hostel. Beds are huge and very comfortable, clean linen and lovely duvet. The room was big, as was the bathroom. They provide disposable towels. Shampoo and shower gel are included. The reason that I don't give an excellent in installation is because even when you have lockers, they don't work, so no place to put your valuables and also the bathroom lock is broken so you can't lock it. They provide drinking water and there's a fridge too. Minor details to be honest, definitely the perfect place to stay in Wulingyuan.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie. The room was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. There was no cigarette smell at all, and the room was quiet with no disturbing noise, which made it easy to relax and sleep well. The hotel also has an elevator, making it very convenient for guests. The location is excellent — very close to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. There are many restaurants right in front of the hotel, making it easy to find food and local specialties. What impressed me the most was the hotel staff. Every staff member was lovely, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout my stay. Their hospitality made my trip even more enjoyable. The room was fully equipped with everything I needed, including complimentary drinking water, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, bath towels, and slippers. The room size was perfect and provided plenty of space to relax after a day of sightseeing. Another great feature was the high -speed internet. The WiFi connection was fast, stable, and reliable throughout my stay, which was very convenient for planning trips, staying connected, and streaming content without any issues. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay. If I visit Zhangjiajie again in the future, I will definitely choose to stay at this hotel again.

This was one of the best hostels I stayed in China. The location is very convenient- a quick walk to the bus station, also very easy to reach the main attractions like Tianmen Mountain. The room was very spacious and extra clean. But the best part was the host- she was really nice, friendly, communicative and very welcoming, always ready to help, answer all the questions and give some recommendations about the area. I would highly recommend this hostel if you're travelling to Zhangjajie!

Location: excellent, 1min walk to the center of the river bank. Service: owner is a attentive, caring and understanding lady. I arrived FengHuang old town with a tired face, after 2weeks in the temperature of 3'c to -6'c, she quickly served me with her Chinese herbal tea, my body feels warm and refreshed. She continued boiling a new batch of herbal tea for me the next day and filled my thermos. She gave me a super detailed old town map, showed me the routes not to miss. I was recommended to taste the local delicacies. The experience in this hostel is amazing. My room was being upgraded as it was a low season. I was served with warm breakfast, some warm Xiaolongbao, two hardboiled eggs, soybean joice and additional of xiaomizhou. That's a lot of food for me, she even packed the food and drinks for me so I can enjoy them while wallking along the beautiful misty river. I feel so blessed to stay at this hostel. The owner is the BEST EXAMPLE of all hostels I'd stayed for the past few years

This was my first time visiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and I was a bit lost regarding accommodation and attractions since I'd never been before. I initially booked a Home Inn close to Tianmen Mountain, only to realize later that Tianmen Mountain is a good half-hour drive from the Forest Park. I quickly changed my tickets and hotel booking. Luckily, I found the ********* landlady here – she was incredibly enthusiastic and even helped me book tickets at a discount. As soon as I arrived, she immediately helped with my luggage and gave me a detailed itinerary for my upcoming trip, which saved me a lot of trouble. I booked a king room with a view, and the guesthouse was super easy to find, right at the intersection. If you need parking, you can tell the landlady in advance, and she'll sort everything out for you! The room was clean and tidy, the pillows were super soft, and the toiletries were standard disposables – feel free to bring your own if you prefer something different. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were all provided. There's also a laundry room and a drying room, though the drying room is a bit out of the sun. If you need to dry clothes in the sun, you can ask the landlady to help move them to a sunnier spot. If you don't want the hassle, there's also a dryer in the room… I had a fantastic time these past few days. The landlady also sells local specialty berry tea; if you like it, you can buy some. If it's too much to carry, she can even arrange for it to be couriered to your home.

I had a pretty good experience, much better than I expected. Chain hostels like this usually have better quality control, no matter what. I haven't stayed at their branches in other cities, but I'd recommend it for solo travelers. The beds are comfortable. The shower room had a slight odor, but it was tolerable, and definitely better than the Sum Hostel I stayed at in Jeju Island. The front desk staff were quite responsible; for first-timers, they'll even take you up to the third floor next door to show you your room. They provide disinfected slippers, but if you're particular, you can bring your own. You'll need to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and face towel, or you can purchase them at the front desk. They give you a bottle of Nongfu Spring water every day, so it's good value for money. I stayed in a 6-person dorm and it was pretty good. Oh, and don't bother with the pink bus food, it's terrible (this isn't a fake good review, it really is decent). If you have other recommendations, let me know!

Very nice little place. Owners are friendly and helpful. There is a common area and good wifi, many floors (8+) and many different rooms. Free laundry on the balcony and drinking water, microwave and hot water available, with a food steamer as well. The location is easy to find, close to the river and the main area for the night show. Although the humidity is insane in this little town, this hostel tries to fight it with these machines that dehumidify the air. So in the dorms you will see a bit of mould, but I think all in all that can't be avoided in a humid town like this. Overal it is a nice little stay, the only improvement would be for the cleaning to be immaculate. Recommend 100% if you are a low budget backpacker!

Very nice hotel, we loved the comfortable round bed. The bathroom was spacious and clean as well. The location is good, very close to one of the cable car stations, so depending on which route you choose, it can be very convenient. The area is okay too, with a few restaurant options nearby. The room itself was very large, although it also felt a bit empty. We really loved the mountain view though.
