Would definitely come back and visit and stay in this guesthouse.

Only a 5-minute walk from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Destination Youth Hostel features private guest rooms and simple dormitory rooms with free Wi-Fi. It offers a tour desk, a library, a games room, a shared kitchen and convenient guest services.

Read it if you're not Chinese 👇 Perfection location. It's just right next to the park entrance. You can buy Zhangjiajie Park tickets (valid for 4 days) and go in and out every day. The hostel owner will help you buy the tickets. If you travel to Zhangjiajie or Zhangjiajie West train station there are buses that'll take you to Wulingyuan. They start running at around 7:30. Don't get scammed by expensive taxi drivers. Then it's a short walk to the hostel from the Wulingyuan bus station. You can contact the owner of the hostel beforehand and he'll let you know how to get to the hostel. Download WeChat so that you can communicate easily without using VPN. Also, download Amap (works with WeChat location and doesn't need VPN to run). The hostel owner speaks good English, but Chinese definitely makes things easier here. Hope this helps my fellow travellers from outside of China.

Situated in Zhangjiajie, 19 km from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Travel of Swan International Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. The property is around 100 metres from Yuanjiajie, 2.5 km from Zixia Taoist Temple and 3.2 km from Suoxiyu. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

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.

Where to start? The decor was cool and traditional, it’s in a perfect location- close to some places to eat and buy snacks and such, but a quiet place to have peace. Walking distance to the park, the bus station, and anything you need. The breakfast was absolutely delicious- they know I loved it so much hahaha! They upgraded my room to a private room since it was low season and no one else was in the hostel. The private room had a heater which was soooo nice, the bathroom was great and the bed was so comfortable. Most of all, I loved the staff. The owner and Emer, the woman currently working there, made me feel at home. They were so generous with me. From deep conversations, eating together, having tea together, laughing together, hiking together, buying snacks together, every moment felt natural and bliss and I leave knowing this was the best part of my trip in China. Emer helped me plan my whole week and book my tickets for the week as well as my future trains! I couldn’t have asked for a better week in Zhangjiajie, and I will miss them dearly. If you can, get a custom piece of traditional writing from the owner! I did, and I can’t wait to display it in my home. Thank you for everything!!! No words can express my gratitude!

Offering free bikes and a hand-drawn map of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie April Inn is located in Wulingyuan, just 500 metres away from the lush Zhangjiajie National Park. Free WiFi access is available in all areas. It features a shared kitchen, a garden and a sun terrace.

It has a perfect location, basically 300m from the entrance of the national park and very close to good restaurants. The included breakfast was daily fresh made by the owners (although unusual for us - a very good soup with spicy pork dumplings). The owners are very helpful with booking tickets (they even have a discount compared to the internet). It has nice bathrooms.

At the hostel, the rooms have a patio. Complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, all guest rooms at Floral Hotel · Baihui Living Zhangjiajie have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the accommodation all rooms include bed linen and towels.

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.

    Good Location. Room was very clean. Boutique type of hotel with very nice and relaxed atmosphere. Girl at the desk Anine, was extremely friendly and helpful. She has organised for me 5 days of activities in all must to see places around Zhangjiajie. And everything was done by Chinese-English handheld translator. I couldn’t have asked for more helpful and friendly staff at any hotel. Love the place and highly recommend to anyone traveling on the budget.

    Friendly staff and functional room/facilities for a good price. Each evening there is a hostel meal that you can pay for and is a good way to meet other people at the hostel.

    We had a lovely stay at Easy House. Rebecca was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to help us with booking of tickets and also gave helpful suggestions on arrangements of activities through Zhangjiajie. With her guidance, we were able to travel independently. The guesthouse was well maintained and has a homely feel. Her whole family was welcoming. The location was good and we felt safe even when walking back through the streets in her neighbourhhod at night. Highly recommended. Good value for money.

    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!
