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.

I had the most amazing time in Jijiehao Inn ! First, I was upgraded to a single room as the Inn was not full. Then, they helped me a lot to plan for my trip in the Zhangjiajie National Park & Tianman moutain, advised me on the restaurants in the area, booked me my taxi, etc They were so helpful ! Also, they were super super nice, I'll never forget how welcoming they were ! I felt like at home. Thank you again for this amazing stay in Jijiehao Inn !

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

I stayed there a couple of nights and it was nice. The beds were comfy, and the staff was really helpful. He helped me to find someone to visit with and gave me all the information I needed. The hostel is cleaned, and I enjoyed staying there, even if there weren't many people at that time.

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.

    Carol was so helpful. She arranged a taxi for myself and my friend when we arrived at the train station, and the driver took us to an ATM to get cash out. She was always on hand to help with any queries or concerns. The set up of the hostel breakfast/dinner allowed us to meet other people and have an enjoyable rural experience.

    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!
