Zhangjiajie Tongfu Inn

The host was very very kind and helpful with tickets and routes to enjoy the park with the time we had🥰

One of the best hotels to book in 张家界， the hotel management it's super friendly to any foreigners ( perfect English) so no language struggles during the visit, They even helped us to book a taxi back to the train station. The hotel it's only 5 min away from the national park, so it's super convenient to move from the park to the hotel. I will come back without a doubt!!

I chose this homestay because of the comments about the English speaking host, who can help with your routes through the Nationalpark. It all came true. Carol is a well informed and caring host, planing individual routes for each day. Being at the west gate has pros and cons, for me it was definitely worth it. You enter the Park ‚the wrong way‘ and therefore never have to worry about standing in queues in the morning for hours for the cableway or elevator. You still have to figure out some stuff on your own, but that’s fine. In the village itself there is not much to do, which is no problem as you are exhausted from the day hiking. If you plan on exploring the Park 3-4 days this is the best place to stay. If you only have 2-3 days and also want to visit the glass bridge or tianmen mountain, a more central stay may be to consider as they are far away and you will get stuck in the crowds.
