2-Star Hotels in Hunan, China

The room was clean, spacious, and affordable. The owner provided excellent service and even helped us book discounted tickets. It's very close to the scenic area, just a 10-15 minute walk. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket, bank, and pharmacy, making it extremely convenient.

Host is a super nice guy and very helpful. He helps you book your tickets as well as with communication and he has many good tips for you. Usually people hang downstairs, there are also three cute cats. Usually people order food and have dinner together. You will easily meet fellow travelers here. The place is otherwise very basic and could need repairs and more frequent cleanups. But that is not the focus here. The hostel is also close to the starting point to Tianmen mountain. PS: The package for the avatar mountains has hiked to 450 RMB including cablecars and elevator (you can use the ticket on 4 consecutive days). 12 RMB to take the bus to its south gate. You need two days to finish the avatar mountains. Then one more day for Tianmen mountain. Another day for the canyon, if you want.

This stay exceeded all expectations! The guesthouse is a short walk from the East Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which made getting to and from the scenic area incredibly convenient. Downstairs, there's a great variety of breakfast spots, so all our meals were easily taken care of. The room was spotless, and all the toiletries and daily essentials were well-stocked, making for a very comfortable stay. The hostess was exceptionally kind and lovely. As soon as we checked in, she patiently helped us plan our daily itineraries and gave us detailed tips on how to avoid common tourist traps and overspending in the park. My glasses broke during our trip, which was a huge inconvenience, but without a second thought, the hostess rode me on her scooter to a glasses shop for repairs. I was deeply touched. Her warm and thoughtful service truly enhanced our trip. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit!

The bunk bed room I booked was quite spacious, but the window faced a neighboring wall, so the light and view weren't great. Plus, the outdoor AC unit was so noisy it was impossible to sleep. Friends, if you're considering this room, be warned! However, the owner was really nice and helped us with many practical issues; they were basically always ready to assist, which was great! That said, the room facilities could use some improvement, especially the lighting – it needs to be brighter, haha. Since they were fully booked, they moved us to a different room on our last day, which was generally good!

The location is good, right at a food street, so breakfast and dinner are convenient. The room is clean and tidy. The landlady is very nice; she gave a detailed introduction to the attractions and offered great suggestions. The room rate is moderate, and a taxi to the East Gate from just outside the hotel costs the minimum fare, only about 1 kilometer, but the room price is much cheaper than hotels right at the East Gate!

We had a great 2 night stay here, the location is perfect right next to the river and very convenient to all the local walks and sights. The room looks as good in person as online and was very clean, comfortable and modern. The family that runs this 民宿 could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. They helped pick us up from the car park and find and plan great walks nearby. The aunty is a great cook and we ate there every meal and tried all the delicious local eats. Thanks for having us! We really enjoyed staying here and having some fun chats over dinner, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone and will definitely stay here agai in the future.

Highly recommended!!! This homestay is located closer to South Gate of the National Park which I believe provides nicer views with much fewer crowds then the main East Gate. The room we stayed at was warmly decorated with everything you need. Shower was comfortable and it was quiet at night to sleep. We woke up to the sound of country birdsong and farm rooster, then looking out to beautiful mountain views and wildflowers blooming with crisp fresh air. The pick-up and drop off services made the whole trip so much smoother and saved us lots of time and money. The owner was super kind and helpful with planning itinerary around weather and purchasing discounted tickets for us. We managed to tick our whole list for Zhangjiajie and are extremely happy. Oh and did I mention the home-cooked farm dishes. They are sooo delicious with the freshest ingredients, at very reasonable prices for a touristy area. Must try the homemade sausages and barbecue! To be fair all of the other dishes were incredible too so you can't go wrong. They were so yummy and satisfying after a long day of hiking and adventures. If you want an true authentic local experience at great value, dont hesitate and book this place. The owner running this place is kind, attentive and most importantly trustworthy. It's a hidden gem! 老板，非常感谢您的细心招待！祝您和全家一切顺利，生意兴隆。如果下次还有机会来张家界玩，我们一定会再次入住观山别院！🫶💯💯

Loved this hotel. I didn’t want to leave. Even stayed an extra night instead of moving to Zhangjiajie for Tianmen mountain. Stay all of your nights here! The owner is super friendly and you can book all your park tickets through him at a discount. He will also give you step by step instructions in the day. Seamless visit. Locarion is PERFECT! The 2 month of kitten Mimi is absolutely a delight too and very friendly.

The hotel boss is very friendly and proactive. We checked in late at night and she waited for us till we were set. Moreover, she gifted us soy milk and free water. When we wanted to go to the national park. She helped us arrange a taxi ride that was as early as 06:30 am and the driver was waiting for us even before then.

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.
