Inns in Hunan, China

I really appreciated my stay at the Barringo Inn. The service was excellent, and the entire hotel was spotlessly clean. A special shout-out to the guy at the reception—he was incredibly nice and went out of his way to be helpful throughout my visit. What really stood out to me was how reliable the hotel is. Before I even arrived in China, I ordered some parcels from Taobao and had them shipped to the hotel. They arrived early, and the receptionist kindly kept them for me for four full days until I checked in. That level of trust and care is truly unique and not something you experience everywhere. The location is another huge plus. The hotel is very close to many of Zhangjiajie's famous attractions, and practically everything you need is right nearby—supermarkets, restaurants, barbers, coffee shops, and traditional Chinese eateries are all within easy reach. If you're craving something different, you can even walk a little bit and find western options like pizza. It's incredibly convenient for any type of traveler. Overall, a fantastic experience—I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting! Next time I come back to Zhangjiajie, I will definitely book this hotel again without hesitation.

The accommodation is exceptionally clean and tidy, with complete facilities, and it's very close to the East Gate of Wulingyuan. The hostel owner is incredibly warm, friendly, and especially considerate. Despite the very hot weather, the owner always prepared chilled bottled water for us, which we deeply appreciated. Furthermore, we purchased tickets for various Zhangjiajie scenic spots (Tianmen Mountain, Grand Canyon, National Forest Park, Furong Ancient Town) through the hostel owner, and the prices were even cheaper than buying online. The owner also enthusiastically helped us with various aspects of our Zhangjiajie trip, making what could have been a complicated journey much easier. I highly recommend this hostel! If you're coming to Zhangjiajie, I truly suggest staying here!

We had a one night stay in this beautiful place. We received snacks, water, and watermelon upon our arrival (my favorite fruit!)) Everything was clean, bathroom was modern, and the hotel was able to get us a ride to the hotel at no charge. This was great as they helped with all the luggage straight into the room. They also booked a car for us to the train station. DiDi is difficult in this area so we appreciate the hotel accommodating us. Thank you for everything, highly recommend this hotel!

Great location with an amazing view, very close to the waterfall. It's super convenient that you can also dine on the terrace. The sound of the waterfall at night might not be ideal for those who prefer quiet when sleeping. Overall, it's a good spot, especially considering the price point isn't exactly cheap.

Floral Hotel has a wonderful atmosphere that feels like a perfect mix between a hotel and being at home. Many of the reviews mention the owners, and after staying here ourselves, we completely understand why. Mrs. Huang and her husband are truly wonderful people who made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. The room options were excellent, and our room was always clean, tidy, cozy, and very comfortable throughout our stay. Towels were changed daily, trash was taken out regularly, and the level of care and attention to detail was exceptional. We happened to arrive during several rainy days and unfortunately both caught colds while travelling. Mrs. Huang was exceptionally kind and supportive — preparing delicious and nutritious breakfasts for us each morning, helping us book attraction tickets at affordable prices, and giving us helpful advice and recommendations every single day. One particularly rainy day, while we were out sightseeing, she even turned the heating on in our room before we returned so we could immediately warm up and enjoy a hot shower after being out in the cold and rain. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly appreciated. What touched us most was the genuine care we received throughout our stay. On our final day, despite us leaving very early in the morning, Mrs. Huang woke up to prepare breakfast for us at 5:30am before our departure. We were also in the area preparing for a friend’s wedding, and Mrs. Huang kindly recommended local barbers, a nail salon, and a lovely local restaurant, which made everything so much easier for us. The neighbourhood itself has such a warm community feel, and the hotel truly feels like a home away from home. Although Mrs. Huang does not speak English, she has a fantastic translation device which made discussing more complex topics very easy. She made every effort to ensure communication was smooth and effortless, and we never felt uncomfortable or unsupported. The hotel also has washing facilities available, and during sunny days you can dry your clothes on the rooftop under a covered area, which is incredibly useful for longer stays or after rainy sightseeing days. Although Floral Hotel is not a large modern hotel chain, that is exactly part of its charm. The wooden and rustic design fits perfectly with the character and atmosphere of the wider Wulingyuan area, creating a peaceful and authentic place to stay. It feels warm, personal, and relaxing rather than commercial or impersonal. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, caring, and restful place with genuine hospitality. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and hospitality we experienced here and would happily stay again in the future.

Beautiful location, disappointing stay The location of this guesthouse is excellent, right in the center of Dehang Miao Village, with a lovely view of the river that runs through the village. The village itself is very charming and picturesque, and the setting could not be better. Unfortunately, our experience with the accommodation was not as positive. Compared with other places where we stayed during our trip in China, the room was not particularly clean. There were hairs on the bathroom floor and dead insects, which may have entered through the window after cleaning, but they were still there when we arrived. Our room was on the top floor, where renovation work was apparently still ongoing. Water was dripping from the ceiling directly above one of the beds. The owners had placed adhesive tape around the ceiling light where the water was leaking, which looked quite unsafe and raised concerns about a possible electrical short circuit. The larger double bed had an extremely hard mattress, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. The air conditioning unit was positioned so that the airflow blew directly onto the bed. However, turning it off was not really an option because the room quickly became hot and humid. The owner was kind enough to pick us up and drive us back to the village entrance with his car, which we appreciated. We had also asked about breakfast for the following morning. We were initially told to wait until the next day because the owner’s wife was not available. The following morning she kindly offered to prepare breakfast for us, but unfortunately we had already planned to leave early. Communication was difficult because the only way to contact the property was by telephone. As we do not speak Chinese, we had to ask the receptionist at our previous hotel to call on our behalf. What disappointed us most was the complete lack of information provided about the village. Nobody explained what there was to see or do, nor did they provide any information about Miao culture, local traditions, or typical dishes. We discovered by chance that there was an afternoon performance taking place in the village, and we found the trail to the waterfall only after searching online ourselves. Despite the positive reviews, our stay did not meet expectations, and we would not choose this property again. On a positive note, we had an excellent meal at the restaurant in the main square, the one with the hanging corn cobs and fans outside. The two ladies working there were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was among the best we had during our visit.

Extremely satisfied! This hotel offers exceptional value for money. It's a grand and impressive building, clearly managed with great care and attention to detail. The room facilities are comprehensive, and I especially appreciated the high-quality toiletries. After exploring the scenic area, we realized our choice was absolutely perfect! The experience was fantastic, and the breakfast had a unique and delicious flavor. Highly recommended!

I originally booked the arena-themed room, but since it was off-peak season and there were plenty of vacancies, the owner let us choose between two rooms on the second floor. We opted for the larger pirate-themed room. The owner was incredibly helpful and even offered discounted tickets at the hotel. We were able to check in early and store our luggage on the last day, which was a huge convenience. The owner was really nice, and there was an adorable little cat on the sofa next to the front desk. We also had beautiful clear weather, and the Grand Canyon was stunning.

We had a fantastic stay at Forest Homestay at Sunrise and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. The room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Waking up to the scenery each morning was a real highlight of our stay. The food in the restaurant was excellent. We ate there multiple times and everything we ordered was fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced. It was a lovely place to relax after a long day exploring the park. What really made our stay exceptional, however, was the staff. They were incredibly kind, patient and helpful from start to finish. Before we arrived, they helped organise our transfers to and from the hotel, making the journey completely stress-free. They also took the time to plan our itinerary for Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, explaining the different routes and helping us make the most of our time there. Thanks to their advice, we managed to avoid the long queues and see all of the major highlights efficiently, making our visit far more enjoyable. The genuine warmth and hospitality of everyone at the hotel made us feel very welcome. We would happily stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

I can said is a free tourist guide provided from this hotel from A to Z. From tickets admission, car rental to Grand Canyon and to Zhangjiajie High Speed Train Station. (East Station). Even map in Wulingyuan also provide by the hotel and very details cover our 2 days visit to Wulingyuan and Grand Canyon. Above my expectations the guidance tender by the hotels. This is really value added service provide by the hotel. The owner even wait us at the exit in Wulingyuan to make sure we board the car rental connecting to Grand Canyon. The next day also guide us to the car rental to make sure with catch up the transfer connecting to the high speed train. I really recommend this hotel because they are very kind and helpful.
