Guest User: Very central location, right next to the metro. Decent hotel and everything is good
No. 265 Renmin West Road
From CAD 41
Guest User: Hotel is less than 10mins on foot to Yinbing Rd MRT (Line 2). Bed and pillow are comfortable that in the end we bought pillows from the hotel. Concierge staff and housekeepers provide excellent service. The rooms are spacious and clean. There are washing machines and dryers in the hotel. The staff will help to put the clothings into the dryer after the washing has done, and folded the clothings after the drying. One plus point, you can check the washer/dryer availability through the tv before going down to do the laundry. Breakfast is good, at least main dishes are not repeated. I like the oat soya milk dispense from the machine. Though the hotel deserves a 5* rating but I would like to give 2 suggestions to the hotel - to have a bench for the luggage otherwise we have to sit on the floor to pack the luggage. Second, to have more lighting points or replace some dim lights to white lights. Lastly, when you exit the hotel and turn left, there is a Cha Yan Yue Se. Besides Cha Yan, there is a local eatery selling noodles which is very good.

Guest User: The hotel rooms are clean, and the staff provide excellent service. The location is very convenient, as it is extremely close to the subway station—just a few steps from Exit 1 of Line 1 to the hotel elevator, making it easy to get anywhere. Between 8 PM and 9 PM, complimentary sweet soup is offered. The only inconvenience is that there is no place to hang the bath towels. After showering, one has to open the door to retrieve the towel. Additionally, the room's air conditioning is centrally controlled and tends to be very cold. However, it is better at night when the temperature is adjusted to a more comfortable level.
4th Floor, Jiadun Xintiandi Commercial Podium Building, No. 655 Wuyi Avenue

Guest User: This hotel may be small, but it truly offers warmth and comfort. In fact, it has a unique style that sets it apart from other hotels. Even though it's just a small establishment, you can sense a significant difference; the interior is clean, and the staff is very friendly. The front desk girls, 小梦 and 瑶瑶, are especially helpful. The location of this hotel is also quite convenient, as there are many restaurants nearby. I had an amazing trip here, and I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Guest User: We were greeted warmly by Ms 文韬 at check-in. She gave us an upgrade to both rooms to the river view! Her positive attitude impressed us when we requested for a late check out and also asked her for help to call for Didi. We would like to compliment her for going the extra mile to assist knowing that we are not familiar with the Chinese apps and do not have a local number.
No. 18, Section 2, Xiangjiang Middle Road
From CAD 73
Guest User: I had a truly wonderful stay at Iseya Hotel. The service was flawless, and every staff member, including the housekeeping team, greeted me warmly. I was especially impressed by 心心, who went above and beyond in assisting me, from helping with the complimentary laundry service to handling delivery collections. The room was not only aesthetically pleasing and in pristine condition, but the amenities and decor were thoughtfully selected. The view from my room on the 69th floor was breathtaking. Additionally, the hotel offers a variety of pillows to suit your preferences. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone—it's absolutely worth every penny!

Guest User: The room was very clean and smelled lovely. The front desk lady upgraded my room type. The window was large and let in plenty of light.
28th Floor, Dingwang Building, No. 88 Furong Middle Road Section 2, Dingwangtai Subdistrict
From CAD 33
Guest User: Excellent location! many restaurants right below, couple of food trucks at night perfect for us. just few minutes along the main road to the train station and huangxing street. one issue is that the cars can’t drive to the hotel directly so the pickup and drop off has to be at the road opposite, but it’s fine. Free laundry service, luggage delivery to the airport! 5 stars for that. Room is slightly small to open two large luggages. Breakfast spread was good and there’s fried egg! They also have free afternoon and night dessert available tho we didn’t try it. Gym isn’t big but has the main equipments. Receptionist 小陈和小杨 were professional and really helpful! Overall a comfortable stay, will be back if i’m back in changsha again.

Want to eat like a local? Don't miss out on these top Changsha dishes and foodie spots.
The light inside the gallery is dim and quiet, gently pressing a millennium of time into the display cases. The porcelain stands in rows, bearing both the marks of age and the lingering warmth of the kiln, evoking the afternoons they once knew. The Batu Hitam lies hidden in blue light. The hull is tilted, its sails like an unfinished dream. It once carried a cargo of porcelain toward an unknown horizon, only to be rediscovered a thousand years later, as if preserving a memory for time itself. Every glaze, every shard, and every trace left by the seawater seems to say: here, there was a departure; here, there was a voyage. Looking back at that silent porcelain, it still glows faintly, just as it did a thousand years ago. What moves us most is never the object itself, but the story it carries.
In autumn, you must visit Hunan Agricultural University in Changsha! A hidden gem of red maples on campus, free admission. Red, orange, and yellow colors intertwine.

Slowing down a little in Changsha 🍂 Some of my favourite travel moments are the simple ones: wandering through an old alley, stopping for something to eat and finding a quiet spot to sit for a while. That was the feeling at 6500 Sujiaxiang Branch, part of the 6500 family. Tucked inside Sujiaxiang, an old Changsha alley with stories of its own, it felt like a little pause in the middle of the city. Outside, there’s the everyday rhythm of the neighbourhood. Inside, a peaceful courtyard where I could happily spend an afternoon with tea or coffee and a book. Add a little autumn sunshine and suddenly there’s very little reason to rush anywhere. ☕️📖 I loved having time to notice the smaller things, too. The room’s local touches, the cosy feeling of coming back after a walk in the cooler weather, and those quiet moments before heading out again. It’s the kind of stay that makes you want to settle in and enjoy your surroundings. The butler team added to that feeling with their friendly, thoughtful service. Having someone around to help made everything feel easy and welcoming, especially when exploring an unfamiliar neighbourhood. Of course, my slow days still included plenty of food! Rice noodles, little snacks along the way and late-night bites nearby — there’s always something tempting when you wander around Changsha. 😋 Taiping Old Street, Pozi Street, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street and the IFS area are all within walking distance, so I could head out to explore and return to a quieter corner afterwards. What I enjoyed most was having space for both: the energy of Changsha and these slower courtyard moments. A warm drink, a good book, a little neighbourhood wandering… I could get used to this pace for a few more days. 🤎 Search for 449004 on Trip.com and book for your stay now! #6500Sujiaxiang #ChangshaBoutiqueHomestaystay #CityStaycation #LiveLikeALocal #ExploreCityCulture

When choosing a hotel with a bathtub, it's easy to end up with a cramped room where the tub is squeezed into the bathroom, making it hard to get a good photo. The room layout at this Howard Johnson Club on Wanbao Avenue perfectly solves this problem. Featuring 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, a circular bathtub is placed right by the window. As night falls, the entire city skyline lights up outside the glass, offering an expansive view that's perfect for photos.

It's fully equipped with a gym and a self-service laundry room. If you're traveling in Changsha for several days, you can take care of laundry and get in a quick workout right at the hotel. Perfect for those who love the ambiance of a window-side view and value practicality in their accommodation. Sitting by the tub at night, watching the city lights spread out outside, you can wash away the fatigue of a long day.

Didn't want to deal with the crowds at Wuyi Square this weekend, so I escaped to the heights by the Xiang River... Finally checked out this hotel that's been in my favorites for a long time.

The hotel is located on the 8th floor of the Rongcheng Garden Elegant Building, backed by five-star property management, making it quiet and peaceful.

Orange Island is a bit of a mixed experience, and I'm honestly not entirely sure whether I'd consider it a must-visit in Changsha.It's a large, green, and pleasant park, with beautiful riverside views and plenty of space for walking. If you enjoy places with historical significance or simply want to experience a different side of the city, it's definitely worth considering.Most visitors seem to take the sightseeing train to the southern end of the island, where the famous Mao Zedong statue is located. That's also where you'll find plenty of people taking photos, so don't expect a particularly quiet experience.The main downside is that visiting the island takes quite a bit of time, especially if you want to explore it properly. And while it's certainly a nice place, I'm not sure the experience justifies spending several hours here if you have a limited amount of time in Changsha and other places you'd like to see.On the other hand, if you're simply looking for a relaxing walk through a green park, with opportunities to stop by the river and enjoy the scenery, it's a lovely option.Overall, I'd say it's worth visiting if you have some extra time or are particularly interested in Chinese history. Otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily put it at the very top of your Changsha itinerary.
YazonDinAltThe Hunan Provincial Museum boasts a magnificent collection of artifacts, connecting the Hunan civilization from Shang and Zhou bronzes to the Mawangdui Han Dynasty tombs. The museum houses a large number of national treasures, witnessing the splendor and legend of southern civilization. What makes the Hunan Provincial Museum unique compared to other museums is that it has replicated the tomb pit of Lady Xin Zhui from the Mawangdui Han Dynasty tombs at a 1:1 scale, extending across multiple exhibition halls. Visitors can see from above ground to underground, from everyday scenes to coffins and remains. Being there is truly awe-inspiring.
尘尘During the National Day holiday, the crowds were immense. Our tour guide, Xiao Xiang, led us along the way, providing lively and engaging explanations that saved us from taking unnecessary detours and greatly improved efficiency. He also clearly outlined the key locations.
118***58I have visited Orange Isle multiple times and always had a positive experience. The scenic area boasts beautiful natural scenery, a magnificent view of the Xiang River and the head of Orange Isle, and a rich cultural heritage. Historical sites such as the Mao Zedong statue are well-preserved. The management is orderly, the tour routes are clear, and the supporting facilities are comprehensive. Overall assessment: As a core cultural landmark of Changsha, it possesses both natural and cultural value, and I highly recommend it as a priority visit for tourists to experience the charm of Hunan culture.
Anonymous userA must-see art museum! You can deeply experience the artists' lives and creations. It's a beautiful place and free—how could anyone not want to go! The artists' works have depth of field, requiring a certain distance to appreciate them more clearly. Some works are even more moving when the light is off. This time, I was too rushed to have a proper in-depth experience; I recommend allocating 2.5 to 3 hours or more.
202***07Tongguan Kiln is divided into two parts: the ruins area and the ancient town scenic area. The ruins area is the core, where you can directly see the remains of the Tang Dynasty dragon kiln and understand the unique position of Changsha Kiln in the history of ceramics. The ancient town is a restored cultural and tourism street with a variety of amusement projects and performances. History buffs should prioritize visiting the ruins museum, while those who just want to take photos are best to come in the evening.
M42***58The National Day holiday was incredibly crowded, thankfully we hired a guide, otherwise we wouldn't know what to see. Our guide, Xiang Kexin, explained things in great detail, catering to both the young and old, and the audio was crystal clear through the headphones.
szly_liuyThe land-based amusement park is so-so, but the children's playground is quite nice, with special sunshades so kids can play even on hot days. The children love the Mango Water Park, definitely worth a visit!
米卡和米娅May Day Square is so much fun! The atmosphere is amazing, and a stroll there makes you feel so relaxed 😄 The photos are so stunning, the scenery is breathtaking, and every spot is perfect for taking pictures 📸 Hahaha
时代江河Changsha Tianxin Pavilion boasts an elegant environment with many ancient trees. It is divided into two parts: a park and a pavilion. The park is beautiful, and from the pavilion, you can see the ancient city wall. In short, I recommend that you take the time to visit and take photos. The beautiful scenery is not to be missed!
