The hostel is about a 10 minute walk from the Wulingyuan enterance of the Zhangjiajie National Park - a fantastic location even for lodging that would cost several times more per night! The hostel and facilities are clean throughout. The host provided valuable info through WeChat, particularly on weather conditions in the park that affected transportation options within the park. Great value for your money given the comfort, cleanliness, and superb location! Just one note: make sure you can use Alipay - you can only pay for the laundry machine using Alipay.

Staff at the 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage. The hostel also provides tour and ticketing services. Guests can rent cars or barbecue facilities from the hostel. There is also a shared lounge where guests can watch TV.

Amazing stay. I was greeted by a lovely lady who spoke English and was really kind, enthusiastic and helpful, helping me with planning my route around the national park ans bookjng tickets in advance at no extra cost. As I stayed during quiet season I was the only one in the hostel, so she kindly upgraded me to a private room for free. Room was big, clean, comfortable. Location is great, close to the river and main street which are lovely day and night. A very enjoyable 25mins walk to bus station. I can only imagine its even better when there's more people there so more atmosphere and activities. Overall a great stay and super helpful staff.

Amazing hospitality and hosts - cozy room. If you are out late (past midnight) you need to let the hosts know to let you back in but they are very accommodating

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very smooth check-in and check-out and a clean room. The hostel is a walking distance to the Tianmen mountain shuttle, the main bus station, and many local restaurants. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie. Thank you Peipei for being such a friendly and helpful host!

    The location is brilliant, so peaceful, surrounded by tea plantations and just a few minutes away from beautiful big view at the back where you can see the sunset over the Zhangjiajie scene. There are so many advantages to staying in the park itself as the park doesnt open early enough for the sunrise. Weloved the guest house food as well, very tasty and cheap. They had a coffee machine too. The staff are really helpful, gace great advice and they send a video explaining how to get there, it was very clear. They can arrange cars too.

    I had an incredible stay here, it was perfect for my visit to Zhangjiajie! The place is in a great location to be able to access the National Park and the Glass Bridge Grand Canyon nearby. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and contain everything you need. The neighbourhood was quiet and was very safe. Our host, Rebecca, is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home. She helped us with so much, such as booking tickets, suggesting an itinerary and providing tips, arranging transportation and getting breakfast, and goes above and beyond!
