Only a 5-minute walk from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Destination Youth Hostel features private guest rooms and simple dormitory rooms with free Wi-Fi. It offers a tour desk, a library, a games room, a shared kitchen and convenient guest services.

Everything! The room and the bathroom were clean and spacious (at least for one person) and it’a near the entrance of the national forest park. The place doesn’t have an elevator but Ralph helps the guests with their luggages. He also asks the guest what they need prior to getting into their room and he helped me book my visit to Tianmen Mountain!

Staff at the 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage. The hostel also provides tour and ticketing services. Guests can rent cars or barbecue facilities from the hostel. There is also a shared lounge where guests can watch TV.

Where to start? The decor was cool and traditional, it’s in a perfect location- close to some places to eat and buy snacks and such, but a quiet place to have peace. Walking distance to the park, the bus station, and anything you need. The breakfast was absolutely delicious- they know I loved it so much hahaha! They upgraded my room to a private room since it was low season and no one else was in the hostel. The private room had a heater which was soooo nice, the bathroom was great and the bed was so comfortable. Most of all, I loved the staff. The owner and Emer, the woman currently working there, made me feel at home. They were so generous with me. From deep conversations, eating together, having tea together, laughing together, hiking together, buying snacks together, every moment felt natural and bliss and I leave knowing this was the best part of my trip in China. Emer helped me plan my whole week and book my tickets for the week as well as my future trains! I couldn’t have asked for a better week in Zhangjiajie, and I will miss them dearly. If you can, get a custom piece of traditional writing from the owner! I did, and I can’t wait to display it in my home. Thank you for everything!!! No words can express my gratitude!

Offering free bikes and a hand-drawn map of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie April Inn is located in Wulingyuan, just 500 metres away from the lush Zhangjiajie National Park. Free WiFi access is available in all areas. It features a shared kitchen, a garden and a sun terrace.

It has a perfect location, basically 300m from the entrance of the national park and very close to good restaurants. The included breakfast was daily fresh made by the owners (although unusual for us - a very good soup with spicy pork dumplings). The owners are very helpful with booking tickets (they even have a discount compared to the internet). It has nice bathrooms.

Complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, all guest rooms at Floral Hotel · Baihui Living Zhangjiajie have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and certain rooms also offer a balcony.

Amazing hospitality and hosts - cozy room. If you are out late (past midnight) you need to let the hosts know to let you back in but they are very accommodating

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Carol was so helpful. She arranged a taxi for myself and my friend when we arrived at the train station, and the driver took us to an ATM to get cash out. She was always on hand to help with any queries or concerns. The set up of the hostel breakfast/dinner allowed us to meet other people and have an enjoyable rural experience.

    If you are going to TianMen this is a great place to stay. Its close to the cable car that will take you up. The downstairs and room are nicely decorated. The hotel is pretty cheap, so great for keeping a budget

    I had an incredible stay here, it was perfect for my visit to Zhangjiajie! The place is in a great location to be able to access the National Park and the Glass Bridge Grand Canyon nearby. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and contain everything you need. The neighbourhood was quiet and was very safe. Our host, Rebecca, is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home. She helped us with so much, such as booking tickets, suggesting an itinerary and providing tips, arranging transportation and getting breakfast, and goes above and beyond!
