The owner and the receptionist really tried to be helpful to me. They were so patient and I love when they tried to teach you thighs about the place. I loved the city and my stay was one of my best in china. It is pretty close to everything.

Staying here is like staying at a friends house.
It might not be superclean,
and the breakfast might not be superexciting,
but you are só welcome.
The staff is the most wonderful you'll ever meet on your travels, they help you set routes in the parc (listen to them, they know all the tricks) and try to make your exploring perfect.
The hotel has more of a "hostel" vibe, then a "hotel" vibe, but for us, that was a big plus.
You can wash your clothes after a long day exploring the mountaintrails, your bed is supercomfy, the shower is hot and you get a clean towel everyday. The pool is just nice to see, in the winter.. probably nobody swims in it. But yes, beautiful. There is a terrifying glass rooftop terrace, might (for some) also be terrific, but i stayed on my own level, which was cozy and perfect.
Would recommend this place if you like hostels, but also the benefits of a private room, want to explore the national forest and caves, and be able to wash and dry your clothes for your next day adventure.

The Maosao Inn in Wulingyuan
A really great place to stay
The Maosao Inn in Wulingyuan is conveniently located just off the main road, not far east of the Zhangjiajie National Park entrance. It’s easy to take a pleasant evening stroll, with several restaurants just around the corner.
The inn is quiet and has an authentic charm without feeling overwhelming. Everything is simple, easy, and straightforward — no unnecessary frills. It clearly caters well to international travelers. Breakfast is sufficient and served from around 6:30 a.m., perfect for an early start at the park.
The team is fantastic — genuinely friendly and extremely helpful in providing all the guidance you need for visiting the park. Don’t worry about figuring out routes or logistics; they’ll explain everything clearly.
Please note that this is not a typical chain hotel. Maosao Inn has its own unique character and welcoming atmosphere. Just go there and enjoy the experience!

The staff was very friendly and helpful by helping us plan our stay in the national park. The room was very spacious and clean! Bed was really comfortable. Free laundry room to clean your clothing, such an amazing add on to the hotel! Pool was very clean but a bit cold for me! The location is great, lots of food places around. Just a 20 minute walk to the east gate!

This hotel is excellent, offering great value for money and a convenient location. It's easy to get to all the attractions and the train station, and there are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance downstairs. The facilities include a laundry room, swimming pool, and gym. The front desk staff were very welcoming and promptly provided medical supplies when needed. It definitely deserves a five-star rating, and I'll be booking this place again next time I'm in Zhangjiajie!

Super helpful with booking activities. You needn’t worry beforehand and can speak with the staff. They are very used to dealing with tourists! The room is pretty decent for the price and the laundry is free. The only thing is restaurant options are limited, through no fault of the hotel. I hope you have a mist free trip!

The room was clean, with a long window facing the interior of the hotel. Breakfast was simple. It's about a 6-minute drive from the East Gate. Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain, Grand Canyon, National Forest Park, and Golden Whip Stream are all must-see attractions.

Very simple , dirty look , staff unable to speak and understand English , they tried to used translator but is not always working well, very slippery stairs, swimming pool only open in the evening, the breakfast is awful, drinks as well , I would recommend to find another hotel it’s plenary of them around
Response from Property: I'm truly sorry for the unpleasant stay you had. Our inn is decorated in a simple and retro style with solid wood. Everyone has different aesthetic views. As for the staff not being able to speak English, we are actively learning it now. The swimming pool is available from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day. We need to disinfect it in the morning to ensure that guests can enjoy a clear and clean pool every day. For breakfast, we offer toast, several kinds of pastries, over ten varieties, freshly ground coffee, juice, and local specialty berry tea. Compared to hotels, we may have many shortcomings.The inn is centrally located within the Wulingyuan District, approximately 1.5 kilometers from the East Gate of the Forest Park, 22 kilometers from the Glass Bridge, 7 kilometers from Huanglong Cave, and 3 kilometers from Baofeng Lake.

This is a really charming inn. The pool is about 1.4m deep and 20m long – perfect for a relaxing swim or just splashing around.
During check-in, I noticed quite a few international guests who'd booked via online platforms. I imagine the existing meals might not entirely suit their palate. My suggestion to the owner would be to consider stocking some frozen croissant dough. Baking these fresh in the morning would undoubtedly garner much more positive feedback from international guests than the current offering of small buns.

Response from Property: Haha, thank you for your review. Our water depth is 1.5m. Haha. Indeed, there are many foreigners in the hotel. Our restaurant promotes the eight major Chinese cuisines, including Hunan cuisine, so most of the breakfast is Chinese-style, mainly to let foreign friends, including friends from all over the world, taste the delicious Hunan cuisine. Of course, we also have some Western breakfasts. Thank you very much for your high evaluation. Thank you. Our hotel can arrange tickets, parking and other services. You are also welcome to come home often.
