I booked the hotel for 2 nights with my boyfriend! With this very cheap price, we didn’t expect it to be good at first but the host was really kind and helpful with all of the inconveniences! The hotel located very close to the north gate of the national park and it’s very accessible as it takes only 5 mins to get to the gate! The neighborhood around was nice to take a little stroll at too.
Response from Property: 感謝兩個外國大孩子的熱心帶圖好評😆,非常禮貌,因為時間問題並沒有停留北門很久,這個小鎮很安靜,公園北門也非常適合國外友人,因為沒有商業化,在這裏更能感受中國少數民族的氛圍和美食。衹是交通你們需要提前找到我幫助你們約比較優惠的順風車哦!再一次感謝你們的評價,願你們中國之旅非常愉快。

The owner is really accommodating and helpful. I had the best stay in Zhangjiajie National Park because of this hotel. The place is just perfect for relaxation as I wake up with river sounds and birds chirping. If you happen to have difficulty getting there, ask for their help and they will charge with a fair price. Shops are everywhere so no worries about it. Ask and they will help you in anyway they can. Xiexie auntie. This hotel is the best!!

Response from Property: Thank you for the high evaluation and beautiful pictures from afar, children. You are very brave to come to a foreign country. You are all my children. I will try my best to make sure that every one of you who comes here has a pleasant holiday. Thank you for choosing my inn. Welcome to China again, my children.

The experience was absolutely amazing. The home owner was the most friendliest person we’ve met and she helped us with everything. See sat with us everyday to discuss what we wanted to do and what’s best. The even booked our tickets everyday. Besides that she told us something about the Chinese tea culture wich we really found interesting to know about. 10/10 for me
Response from Property: Thank you for your praise and recognition. I want every foreign guest to feel the enthusiasm and ancient culture of China. I hope you can share your encounters and tea gifts with your family during your trip to China. At the same time, thank you for your trust. I wish you a pleasant journey in the future. Welcome to come again.

Room was clean and service was fine. Bathroom is big, though wet and dry areas are not separated. It is right on the main street to the gate, so it is very noisy with buses and tourists in the morning.There is breakfast of porridge with side dishes, hard boiled egg, and buns. It is a short walk to the North gate of ZhangJiaJie National Forest Park, so it is easily accessible to Yangjiajie or TianZi mountain, so would recommend one night for these two areas. However, it is very far from YuanJiaJie and the BaiLong elevator, so if you want to visit there, I would recommend the Wulingyuan area.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for your enthusiastic comments and stay. The North Gate is on the mountain, which will save the cost of taking the cable car every day. Your recommendation is wrong, because staying at any other gate will make you take a paid cable car or elevator every day to go up the mountain. In addition, Yuanjiajie is just the next stop after Yangjiajie. You feel far away because this forest park is really big 😁. Finally, let me explain the noise to you: North Gate is a very quiet and quaint town, very quiet, the air is good and there is no pollution, and the bath water is all mountain spring water, because the date of your trip happened to be a very lively holiday in China. The other gates of the park are very congested, so the tour group chose the North Gate. Every day, the tour guide organizes tourists to enter the scenic area downstairs, so noise is generated. It is recommended that you come to China to play again, try to avoid major holidays or do not choose scenic spots during holidays. Thank you again for your serious evaluation and stay. I wish you a pleasant journey.

The hotel is in a very good location, near the north gate to the park, which is the least crowded one. The people working at the hotel were the most friendly I have ever met. They helped us getting tickets, cooked us breakfast, sometimes made us dinner, showed us around town, and were generally super nice and asking if we were alright. Would genuinely recommend this location to anyone who wants a great experience outside the big cities.
Response from Property: Thanks to friends from foreign countries for their comments, because the inconvenience of communication caused by poor English did not make everyone feel strange and unpleasant, and the cultural differences did not make the food lose its temptation😁😁😁😁So I think friendship and food have no borders, welcome More foreign friends come to China to visit the beautiful forest parks and Hongchen Dielian Inn to experience the Chinese warmth and culture brought to you by the Chinese.

The best hotel in Tianzishen. The lady from reception made us feeling that we are in home. Very helpful. We highly recommend it. About transport - while making booking contact with the hotel to help you organize transport for 30 yuan per person. Probably it is not always but maybe :)
Response from Property: Thank you very much for your serious review. We will try our best to help every foreign friend arrange your daily itinerary here and help purchase discount tickets. I hope you can experience the warmth of home here and feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese people and the beautiful scenery and delicious food. Welcome to play again

I had an amazing 3-nights stay here. I was one of the few guests here this time and the hosts cared for me as if I was their family, even though there was a language barrier.
Note that it is one hour drive from Zhangjiajie city, at the north entrance of the park. The hosts picked me (for a cheap fee) up from the Zhangjiajie West train station. But if you want a quiet place close to the park this place is ideal. They booked the park tickets for me and provided me with a personal itinerary and all the information I needed. Often we had dinner together and I learned about Chinese tea and breathing techniques. Would recommend anytime! 😁
Response from Property: Haha, a very handsome and brave Belgian handsome guy. He is very polite and loves to learn. I hope to meet him again. Thank you for your honest review and wish you a happy and smooth trip to China. Don’t forget me~Chinese shi fu😆😆

One of my top-ten hostel/hotel in500+places I have sleeping in 59 countries .The place I recommen that
all in one you needed from hotel. The owner 's service guests as her family,some from Spain ,I am Thailand.
She helped me plan to adventure Zhangjaijie forest park in each day of 4days.she helped me get ticket
,in the north gate 5 minutes walk from hotel.
4 day sleeping here I have free breakfast,and dinner is fare price,30 yuans, delicious local foods. The day back home ,she and her husband service the car to the high speed train station ,paid only 30yuans
She promised that calling me back to see the leaf change all the mountain in Wullinyuan next year.
Wonderful hostel/hotel in normal price.I recommended
Great place for sleeping.

The location is great if you want to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and even more if you wanna visit it multiple days (I had a tight schedule so I only visited it one day) because the entrance is 10 min walking from the hotel.
The hotel is 1 hour away from the city, but they can arrange a ride for a cheap price if it's during the day. The best is to contact them through WeChat.
I had some misunderstandings regarding the ride, but fortunately the hotel I was staying in the city knew them and contacted them for me.
The owners are nice, I spent one night drinking tea with her and talking about different things (through an app translator, like most of hotels).
She can buy you the bus ticket to a nice spot inside the park cheaper than on spot. It would be useful if you ask her to list names of the places in WeChat, because with the map most people could not read the tiny characters so I got somewhat lost sometimes hahaha
I will go back for sure someday with my family!
Thanks for everything!
Response from Property: 感謝您的認真點評,歡迎你帶着家人再來遊玩,這裏真的很美,希望再見的時候我可以用英文跟你説話,而不是翻譯的軟件😆😆😆😆我會努力

Seemed like the best service in the world!
Beds were hard, but the help of the staff was really amazing!!
Response from Property: Haha, thank you very much for your honest review. We are in a mountainous area. In order to avoid the humid summer, we chose a coconut palm mattress. It is indeed a bit hard, but we can add a mattress.

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. But I don't understand why you gave us three points. Maybe foreign friends don't understand that three points is a very low evaluation for our inn. I feel helpless~~

The room is very clean and well-equipped. I would especially like to thank the owner for his hospitality. He is from the north and is very welcoming. Staying in the hotel makes me feel like I'm at home. He gave a detailed introduction to the scenic area and the food in the store is very good.
