Homestays in Hunan, China

Finding concentric circles means finding true love! The owner and the proprietress of this B&B are simple and capable. They treat people sincerely and show love to every detail of their guests! The hotel has a great design! Eat as many fruit snacks as you want! The room is big, clean, nice and well divided. There is a large sun terrace where you can drink tea, and it is also equipped with comfortable rocking chairs! The homestay is very close to the entrance of the scenic spot. If you go out to eat or play, the owner will pick you up and drop you off! Recommended place to eat, the view is great! Anyway, I like this homestay very much. Very worth it!

Located in a small alley, you’ll need to walk down some steps to get to this alley from 豹子灣 (Baoziwan Jetty). The hotel is in the quiet corner of FengHuang Old Town, the popular nightspots and pubs on the other end of the river. Our room is on the 4th floor (entrance and reception are located on the 2nd floor, bizarre) overlooking the river, giving magnificent views during the entire stay. Room is small, but comes equipped with a powerful air conditioning. Bathroom is a bit tricky as it is a step up, and the drainage is not very efficient, if you have the shower running for some time, there’s risk of water overflowing into the room.

This hotel must be rated 100 points. It has a good location and is very close to Bailang and Gaoyiling. Downstairs is the riverside for a walk, the air is fresh! The boss has put a lot of effort into the B&B. The bath towels, face towels, toilet seats are all disposable, as is the projector.... There are also steam eye masks, tea leaves, fruits, and dried small items. They are really thoughtful! The most important thing is that the room is very clean! I want to emphasize that the boss is very enthusiastic and talkative!

Four friends traveled together and it was a very satisfying stay. The room was very large, and the boss also prepared welcome fruits, coffee, and afternoon tea. The room can directly see the core attraction Laladu, and the ferry crossing is right downstairs. It's very convenient. The hotel is in a very central location. It's so comfortable to have a late night snack and stroll around the old streets of the ancient town! The boss is very nice and knows everything about the local area. He knows everything you ask. Awesome Must praise!

This place is actually nice, very clean and inside everything is modern and quite new. No English at all whatsoever, but staff is highly careful and helpful via wechat translations. The location is really great, just right in the scenic area. The view from the room is wow. After a day exploring the city grab a bottle of something from the convenience store and enjoy it on the balcony (very few restaurants have red wine, the bars are just a few and the prices for drinks if you are not a beer person are extremely overpriced). In the evening it is quite noisy from the bars around but around 22:30-23:00 it will get quiet. Also city lights are turned off after midnight. You’ll sleep well. Ask taxi to stop at the Hongqiao gate, then there are few minutes walk. In the scenic area no cars are allowed, streets are paved with rough stones so dragging a heavy luggage can be sketchy. There is no lift, so you’ll do your workout for the day. The old city is nice exploring on foot, so a full day is to be spent here to enjoy everything. Recommend also the Phoenix park nearby the Tourist Center (it’s also the hotel with the same name).

The rooms are decorated in a minimalist style with white tone. No tables and chairs (square-shaped table and round cushions on the windowsill), no wardrobe (with a ”its” font wooden frame), bath towels on the wooden pier in front of the wooden frame. This room type is never suitable for business. In the morning, there is still a distance to walk to Xiaodongjiang. It is more labor-saving to play Didi, but it may be necessary to tip the driver (we are 15 yuan) to get out of the car. Personally, the overall feeling is that the price of the room is not high.

I had an unforgettable experience at Xuanyun Viewing Country B&B in Furong Town. From the moment I arrived, the host was warm, welcoming, and extremely helpful. One of the standout touches was the free pick-up service from the high-speed train station, which made arriving super convenient. The B&B itself is in a perfect location only 1 minute walk to the entrance of Furong Town, making it incredibly easy to explore. The room was absolutely perfect: very clean, comfortable, and offering stunning views of the surrounding area. The atmosphere throughout the B&B is peaceful and inviting, a true escape from the hustle of daily life. I truly loved my stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Furong. It’s the ideal blend of comfort, hospitality, and location.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an outstanding piece of architecture that blends so well in the ancient city. All the modern amenities you could ask for. The tranquility environment gives you peace when you stay there. The service was exceptional over and above what most hotels give. Our special thanks to the owner who provided us with generous and wonderful hospitality. Thanks to the girls who helped us to move our luggage out to the main road. She also recommended restaurants and nearby attractions. The room was modern, spacious and luxurious. The lighting and decor in the room was so thoughtful. The mattress was so comfortable and everything was sparkly clean. The breakfast was freshly made, it was delicious. The location was at the centre of the ancient city but you wouldn't hear the noise. A lot of people come to take photos at the main door. We love this place and will come back again, ❣️

Room view is amazing with Fenghuang ancient city view. You can simply stay here and watch the city without heading out. It's a small hotel but cosy. The balcony room is the best choice with a swing and settee area to chill by the river. Owner is helpful too. The only complain we had was the toilet seat cover had stains and is small which is not a big issue at all since they provide seat covers. Tips: walk out of ancient city to eat for half the price

A Mixed Bag in Fenghuang. My stay in Fenghuang offered a blend of excellent hospitality and comfort with some notable drawbacks. On the positive side, the staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, which truly enhanced the experience. The room itself was a haven of comfort; the beds and linens were top-notch, and the couch and desk provided a truly comfortable and functional space. The hotel's location was absolutely perfect, placing us right in the vibrant heart of Fenghuang's action. We also enjoyed a cool view from our room. However, there were a few significant points of caution for future travelers. While we could connect to the Wi-Fi, there was no actual data connection, rendering it effectively useless for internet access. A more concerning issue was the pervasive and foul sewer smell that intermittently filled the room, particularly late at night. It wasn't constant, but when it appeared, it was quite strong and unpleasant. Regarding the view, I had assumed from photos that the hotel was directly on the river. In reality, it's set back about a block, meaning you have to look over some dilapidated buildings to see the river. I suspect lower floors might not have any river view at all. Adding to this, as of May 2025, there's a pretty large construction project occurring just a few meters from the front of the balconies, which could impact the ambiance and noise levels for some guests. Overall, if you prioritize comfort, a central location, and friendly service, this hotel has a lot to offer. Just be prepared for potential Wi-Fi issues, the intermittent sewer smell, and manage your expectations regarding the river view and nearby construction.
