Purespace Reviews

Purespace in Zhangjiajie: A Westerner's Oasis Near a Secret Entrance to Heavenly Views As a Western traveler, finding a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the breathtaking Zhangjiajie National Forest Park can be a daunting task. However, Purespace proved to be an absolute gem, offering not only a welcoming and familiar environment but also a strategic location that unlocked a less crowded path to the park's wonders. From the moment I arrived, the family who run Purespace went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. Their English proficiency was good, and we used automatic translations when communicating complicated points to ensure we understood each other, it was a welcome relief, and they were incredibly helpful in arranging transportation and offering tips for navigating the park. The hotel itself boasts comfortable beds, wi-fi and wall to ceiling windows. The view is outstanding and easily the best view I’ve ever had at hotel. The bathtub in the window is just amazing - you sit in your bath After a long day of hiking in relaxing atmosphere - it was truly a treat. The breakfast offered a decent selection of Chinese options, with noodles available on demand. Delicious home cooked food was available at lunch and dinner too. However, the true standout feature of Purespace is its proximity to a lesser-known gate of the national park. Located just a short and easy walk from the hotel is an entrance that seems to be favored by locals and those in the know. This proved to be an absolute game-changer for accessing the Bailong Elevator early in the morning. While the main entrance was often swarming with 000s of guests, this smaller gate offered a quick and easy entry into the park. I was able to reach the base of the Bailong Elevator well before the peak crowds, allowing for a swift ascent and uninterrupted views of the stunning karst formations. This local tip, saved me valuable time and significantly enhanced my overall experience of the park. Its proximity to the "secret" gate leading to the Bailong Elevator early is an invaluable asset for those wanting to maximize their time and avoid the ilong queues. I highly recommend Purespace and will stay there again when I go back.

Awesome stay. Location is superb, right near the entrance of the park. The staff is friendly and helpful - they offered a car ride to the park entrance, and helped map out the route to walk inside the park. Also, we had an issue with our shower door, which was fixed efficiently by the hotel staff. The rooms are clean and large, with a great view on the mountains. I would definitely book this place again.

Fantastic service! Extremely helpful and always around to help. We ordered their dinner every night and it was really nice! Highly recommend their food

Room is very clean. Hotel staff are polite and helpful. For Breakfast, we placed an order for noodles and they were made. Breakfast also included dumplings, broiled eggs, cooked veggies, fruits, bread/toast, orange juice and coffee.

5/5 - Amazing Stay in Zhangjiajie National Park This hotel is a gem! Perfect location—super close to the national park. The host was super kind and helped us figure out the best spots to visit. The room was spotless and had a cool Avatar Mountains vibe. Everything felt fresh and new. Highly recommend if you're visiting Zhangjiajie, great stay!

Extremely clean and well maintained: any small issue that arose was quickly fixed. Location is optimal if visiting the national park, as the hotel lies at a 15m walk away from the Zimugang (Central Entrance) of the park. Sadly, delivery apps do not deliver to the hotel, so one should make sure to have some snacks handy. Didi service works in the area of the hotel at any time of the day and night. The host is fantastic as he offered us a ride to the entrance for both days that we visited the park. He also provided a driver to pick us up from the airport and gave us several recommendations on activities. Breakfast is essential but very tasty: be sure to come early, as few dishes might finish (especially baozi and dumplings). In the winter, some amenities like the pool and the balcony are harder to enjoy, due to the weather. All in all, highly recommended experience if planning to have easy access to Zhangjiajie park, combined with a very pleasant room and stunning views. Really worth every penny.

Super place, amazing and helpful staff!!

Helped us with booking the tickets to the different local attractions. Very good food, and super responsive via WeChat. One of the best hotel we have had in our Chinese trip.

Lovely place , staff and owner very friendly , room very clean best view i have seen ever in my life

Be careful with chosing this!!!!!! This hotel was a disappointment from start to finish. When you book you can stay at another building that is not part of the one that appears in photos. It says budget room but the price is high compared to most places in China. When we arrived there was a band aid on the floor and we asked for them to clean but they did not care at all so it continued there. The service was ok the breakfast ok the bed comfortable. The room had a gross towel separating the room from the wc and there is no door for the wc. Also the view is some old building. Please consider well before taking the risk in spending your money here.

Located perfectly in walking distance to be early at the gate which is a must o avoid the crowds! No EN - everythings needs translation Apps - but partially bad Wifi! Breakfast very limited but very friendly and supportive service. Pictures on trip.com look much better than reality..

Location is perfect, room is spacious but can be decorated better, view is great, breakfast variety is not enough, dinner is OK, employees are polite.

This was an amazing stay and the host was so incredibly kind. He helped me navigate Wulingyuan forest park and get tickets for Tianmen Mountain too. He was checking in all the time to make sure everything and OK. The food was so good too, I text my order everyday and he had it ready for the time we had arranged. It was very tasty! All around a great trip!

This was an amazing stay. We got the panoramic room and the views were just amazing. Its conveinently located near the park gate but is a bit farther from the town
