Zhangjiajie Ruyuan Homestay (Wulingyuan Landmark Store, National Forest Park)

It was a great stay, one of the best we've ever had The hotel was conveniently located near the East Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. A short walk to the main road has access to many convenience stores, fruit stores, and restaurants. The owners were very attentive and helpful, from offering free airport pickup service to laundry service and even supporting with recommendations on the best way to secure tickets. The room is exactly as the photos shown in the booking page and very comfortable, good soundproofing and cozy. There was great breakfast every morning, warm welcome and send off every day, and they even gave us a heads up on the weather forecast each day. Highly recommend and would come back if we're visiting this area again.

This hotel really has been a highlight of our trip in China. The hotel owner and staff are so helpful and delightful. They really go the extra yard to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They offer a free pick up service from the airport and train station which we gratefully accepted. The hotel is situated in the town and was a key reason why we chose this hotel as it was a short stroll to all the local food spots - extremely handy for dinner. The hotel is a 15-20 minute flat walk to the entrance to the Park. All the amenities are extremely luxurious including C.O Bigelow bathroom amenities, Doewe Egberts filtered coffee, Dyson hair dryer set, Smart TV and room integrated with an AI assistant (Chinese language), soft velvety bathrobes, toilet with a bidet, and Bamford bath salts. Breakfast is made fresh daily with the choice of wontons, rice noodles and shrimp noodles. Complimenting this is a selection of delicious fruits, steamed buns, sausage, dumplings and rice congee. Eastern and Western diets are catered for with many seasonal fruits on offer. We also had toast and fruit juice. They also offer a free laundry service and did the laundry for us on our last evening and the clothes were ready early in the morning on our departure. Of huge importance to us was them taking the guess work out of organising our trip to the Zhangjiajie National Park. The owner sat down with us and provided a large map of the park and skillfully explained which parts to visit and which transportation to take between each site and sketched it on the map for us to keep. We paid for a park-wide ticket that covered all the internal transportation and access fees - something we highly recommend and is extremely efficient and economical. On the day of our visit to the park it was terribly cold, rainy, windy, and foggy. We were unsure which bus to take at one of the sites and they promptly replied to us on WeChat (this program is a must to use when travelling in China and most hotels use this to communicate with you when not face to face) after we took a picture of the signs and asked which bus to take. They also turned the temperature up to 26 degrees in our room so we were welcomed with a warm, toasty room. So considerate!! The room also had shoe dryers for wet shoes. On our last day during breakfast, at the communal table were guests from Hong Kong, Australia, Russia and Africa. This hotel is extremely foreigner friendly. We are so glad we chose this hotel!

Very kind people and availability Excellent breakfast Ultra modern clean room with domotic Quiet room Efficient service Thanks a lot

This hotel was absolutely wonderful — and I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world, so I have plenty to compare it to. If I had to rate it on a scale from one to ten, I’d give it 11 points — no, wait — 12 points! The owner of the hotel is a very kind person who provided us with lots of useful information while we were exploring this beautiful region. I could turn to him with any request, and he was always ready to help. The hotel is beautifully furnished, with great attention to every little detail. If I come back to this area again, I will definitely stay here.
