4-Star Hotels in Hunan, China

The hotel fully lived up to our expectations! The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking. The smart room controls were very convenient and easy to use. The hotel grounds are lovely, with scenic walking paths and swings that create a very relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was not extremely varied, but everything was delicious — be sure to try the shaomai! In the evenings, you can order local Chinese dishes prepared by the chef. The food is excellent, although many dishes are designed for sharing and the portions are quite large. There are also snacks available at the reception desk. The weather in the park can change quickly, but the hotel sells both raincoats and shoe covers for rainy days (surprisingly useful!). The hotel also provides a shuttle to the park entrance, which is only a short distance away. I would also like to give special thanks to the hotel staff for the airport transfers and for their invaluable assistance throughout our stay. They helped us plan our sightseeing itinerary, purchase tickets, and were incredibly responsive to any questions we had — whether about the room or even our travel plans during the day. Their support made our trip much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you so much ❤️ When planning the trip, I recommend allowing at least two full days for the park itself, plus another one or two days for Tianmen Mountain and the Glass Bridge. Keep in mind that these attractions are about an hour’s drive from the main park and the hotel. I would also highly recommend visiting the 72 Wonder Tower in Zhangjiajie City in the evening. The atmosphere there is incredible, with live performances, actors in costume, and beautiful light installations that make the whole place feel magical.

We really enjoyed our stay at Foggy Valley. It’s a peaceful, quiet retreat with beautiful traditional Chinese architecture, and the free laundry service was a lifesaver after the airline misplaced our luggage. My only suggestion would be to freshen up the exterior of the buildings that aren’t used as guest rooms, so the entire complex feels as charming as the main areas.

The standard room I booked was the largest I've ever stayed in at a Ji Hotel. It had a separate dressing area, a work area large enough for three people to sit in, a large TV, and was quiet, clean, and new – a very comfortable stay. It's only a 10-minute walk to the East Gate of Yuelu Mountain, perfect for those taking the route of entering from the South Gate and exiting from the East Gate. Exiting from the East Gate allows you to easily return to the hotel.

The front desk kindly arranged a river-view room for us upon check-in. The bathroom features a wet-and-dry separation design, and the room is equipped with smart-controlled curtains. The view was fantastic with no obstructions; the scenery actually exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the tranquil river views by day and the dazzling light show at night, with Orange Isle lying peacefully in the middle of the river and Mount Yuelu visible in the distance. We were very satisfied with both the service and the room. Plus, the hotel is close to the metro station and downtown Wuyi Square, making getting around extremely convenient. We definitely plan to stay here again next time!

The location of this guesthouse is truly hard to beat—right next to the East Gate of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, making getting around super convenient. Unlike many properties tucked deep in the mountains, this place offers the best of both worlds: you get to enjoy the tranquility of nature without being cut off from transport. The ambiance here is so therapeutic. You don't even need to step outside; just sitting in the courtyard or your room gives you panoramic views of the mountains in the distance. The overall design is very tasteful, and you can really tell the owner puts genuine heart into running it. They provide a full pick-up and drop-off service, so whether you're heading to the scenic area or the station, you don't have to worry about hailing a cab, which saves so much hassle. Staying here, you can truly unwind after a day of hiking and fully immerse yourself in the stunning landscape of Zhangjiajie. Highly recommended!

Great location, amazing people, clean rooms, but no pool to swim in. The staff is really good. They are very friendly and helpful. The room is truly beautiful. For breakfast lunch for dinner, they drive you down the mountain for two minutes to another hotel, their restaurant Terrace and garden there is really beautiful and the people are very friendly. However, we expected that there would be a pool but this was not the case, this is very misleading given that there are pictures of pools on the listing… all by all we had a great time at this hotel and they have been very helpful arranging cars for us. No pool was very disappointing.

Location: Just over a kilometer from the East Gate of the Forest Park, a three to four-minute taxi ride away. Room Facilities: Newly renovated with smart facilities throughout. There's a robot that can deliver meals, and the TV supports screen mirroring. The only minor flaw I could find was a slight creaking sound when opening the room door; otherwise, everything was absolutely perfect. Service Attitude: Everyone I met at this hotel was incredibly friendly! Upon arrival, the front desk lady explained how to best explore the Forest Park. In the evening, I mentioned to one of the hotel staff that I wanted to try berry tea, and without hesitation, he boiled water and made a cup for each of us. The auntie making wontons at breakfast even made me four specially, saying it symbolized prosperity. We booked a shuttle to Zhangjiajie West Station, and the driver arrived punctually and waited downstairs; he was very polite, and the business car was very comfortable. Hotel Features: What I loved most about this hotel was its rooftop sky garden. The garden houses over a dozen Ragdoll cats, which are incredibly cute and friendly. I made sure to pet them every day, and they were what I missed most when leaving. Overall, I absolutely loved it and would definitely come back given the chance!

A hotel worth revisiting: The location is excellent and quiet, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. In particular, the front desk service was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and enthusiastic, almost anticipating our every need (they thoughtfully helped us purchase tickets, proactively upgraded our room, and recommended reliable and delicious restaurants... 100 points!)

Stayed for 3 nights, and I'm very grateful for the warm hospitality and excellent service from the staff. Satisfied. Beautiful memories. Hygiene: Clean Environment: Beautiful Facilities: Good Free pick-up and drop-off service to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park's East Gate ticket office: Very convenient

The best hotel we had on a 30 days trip through China starting in Chongquing to Shenzhen. This was THE ONLY staff speaking English fluently. Especially the super friendly girl doing the reception. She is the soul of this hotel. She managed everything people needed and was always smiling and really cute. The room are huge, the bathroom as well. It’s excellent clean and super cozy. They offer 2 washing machines, 2 tumble dryers and laundry detergent for free 👏👏 great. Best breakfast we ever had in China for both Chinese and foreign guest. Definitely world class premises- the only one in 30 days roadtrip. Free parking spaces and a very well equipped supermarket right in from the reception 👌 only negative thing is the woman sitting right in front of the hotel, screaming 10 times „hello“ at the guest and trying to sell her raw pumpkins. Not once, not twice- but everytime a guest shows up. I mean-what should a hotel guest do with a raw pumpkin??? I won’t start a barbecue in my room 🤦🏼♀️ she is extremely stupid and extremely annoying. If the hotel could manage to remove her from that place, that would be nothing negative to mention. Thank you guys for making our stay really remarkable. 🙏🏻❤️
