Hostels in Hunan, China

Host is a super nice guy and very helpful. He helps you book your tickets as well as with communication and he has many good tips for you. Usually people hang downstairs, there are also three cute cats. Usually people order food and have dinner together. You will easily meet fellow travelers here. The place is otherwise very basic and could need repairs and more frequent cleanups. But that is not the focus here. The hostel is also close to the starting point to Tianmen mountain. PS: The package for the avatar mountains has hiked to 450 RMB including cablecars and elevator (you can use the ticket on 4 consecutive days). 12 RMB to take the bus to its south gate. You need two days to finish the avatar mountains. Then one more day for Tianmen mountain. Another day for the canyon, if you want.

This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! The host is so unbelievably friendly and kind, and the dinner was so good and I got to meet many travellers staying there too! It is my first time travelling solo and I met amazing people here. The hostel is within walking distance from the forest park’s east gate. There are a few restaurants less than a minute’s walk nearby. The hostel itself is very clean with sheets you can change yourself, as well as having a night light and foldable table. Toilets are shared among the same gender, shampoo and body wash is provided. There’s even a rooftop space for you to hangout at. I highly recommend staying here if you’re a solo traveller as you’ll feel so welcome here! P.S. you can book tickets through the host as it is discounted as well!

I really recommend staying at this hostel! The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. They not only show you the best route to take, but also help purchase the tickets. The room was also great, there were two separate bathrooms with a shower and toilet and a separate area with sink for six-people room. In the bathroom you can also find shampoo and shower gel. The bed was also nice, it was quite big and relatively soft. The last plus of this hostel is that you have a chance to meet some amazing people if you choose a shared room! (And you might see a cute cat at the entrance).

Well located, 5 min walking distance to East gate of ZJJ forest park. Also 10 min walk to bus station for public bus to other attractions ie South Gate or to Grand Canyon. Friendly and helpful staff or owner, giving us the map of mountain park and advice on how to navigate the attraction.  Hotel could improve with better standard of cleaning especially bathroom cleaning and walls/floor decor not tidy. Basin tap handle was loose and kept falling off which looked  like longstanding problem which was not fixed. Also bed was on the hard side for me. Ask for softer bed if preferred. Otherwise, if this improved, this is a good base to visit ZZJ national park as staff are friendly and helpful.

My stay was a great experience, the place is very quiet, very clean and everything is very tidy. It is well located, near the Tianmen Cableway Station and the Central Bus Station, in case you require a taxi service or a tour, they will provide you with the information. They have a washing machine so you can use it, which is very practical and convenient. The owner is very nice, friendly and attentive to whatever you need. Without a doubt, when I return to Zhangjiajie I will stay here.

Excellent service from the owner, she's an absolute gem – very attentive, helpful, and flexible. We were treated wonderfully. Since we were the only guests (I was in a female dorm and my friend in a male dorm) and she had no reservations for today, she let us stay and check out at 4:30 PM. She handles the translator very well and is very sharp; she even gave me information with a map. And the location is excellent! Just 20 meters from the river, right in the most central part, less than 100 meters from the covered bridge. I highly recommend it! The breakfast included was excellent! Everything was delicious, and she even made us espresso (in an Italian moka pot).

It was a wonderful trip. A cozy town with beautiful views. The hotel is very conveniently located. It's between the bus station and the eastern gate, a 5-minute walk on a small, quiet street. There are a lot of cafes nearby for any budget. Across the street, there's a grocery store where you can buy a snack. The hotel has 3 floors, it's not large, and the rooms are comfortable. Very comfortable beds, warm blankets. I loved everything. Park tickets are available at the hotel at a chipper price. The host planned a two-day trek and explained everything in great detail and clearly, and she booked an entry slot. The most important is the hostess; she is very hospitable and warm. She always helps with questions. We became friends. I will miss you, my darling. Your soul is beautiful. It wouldn't have been so much fun without you. ❤️❤️❤️

I had a great stay at Desti Youth Park Changsha. The hostel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The rooms were cozy, and I really appreciated that there were plenty of bathrooms, so it never felt crowded. They also have a laundry area, which was very convenient during my trip. A special thanks to Eric at the reception — he was friendly, helpful, and made the stay even more enjoyable with his excellent service. Overall, I had a wonderful experience here, and I will definitely come back again the next time I visit Changsha.

Very nice little place. Owners are friendly and helpful. There is a common area and good wifi, many floors (8+) and many different rooms. Free laundry on the balcony and drinking water, microwave and hot water available, with a food steamer as well. The location is easy to find, close to the river and the main area for the night show. Although the humidity is insane in this little town, this hostel tries to fight it with these machines that dehumidify the air. So in the dorms you will see a bit of mould, but I think all in all that can't be avoided in a humid town like this. Overal it is a nice little stay, the only improvement would be for the cleaning to be immaculate. Recommend 100% if you are a low budget backpacker!

I've been to Tongguan Kiln twice before, and this was my first stay. I chose Yueshang Inn after a field trip. The inn is in a great location, convenient for food, accommodation, and entertainment. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the front desk lady and the handsome owner are both very friendly and welcoming. It was a great stay! I'll be back next time!
