Zhangjiajie Jijiehao Inn

Wu Lingyuan, Zhangjiajie

Staff at the 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage. The hostel also provides tour and ticketing services. Guests can rent cars or barbecue facilities from the hostel. There is also a shared lounge where guests can watch TV. Where to start? The decor was cool and traditional, it’s in a perfect location- close to some places to eat and buy snacks and such, but a quiet place to have peace. Walking distance to the park, the bus station, and anything you need. The breakfast was absolutely delicious- they know I loved it so much hahaha! They upgraded my room to a private room since it was low season and no one else was in the hostel. The private room had a heater which was soooo nice, the bathroom was great and the bed was so comfortable. Most of all, I loved the staff. The owner and Emer, the woman currently working there, made me feel at home. They were so generous with me. From deep conversations, eating together, having tea together, laughing together, hiking together, buying snacks together, every moment felt natural and bliss and I leave knowing this was the best part of my trip in China. Emer helped me plan my whole week and book my tickets for the week as well as my future trains! I couldn’t have asked for a better week in Zhangjiajie, and I will miss them dearly. If you can, get a custom piece of traditional writing from the owner! I did, and I can’t wait to display it in my home. Thank you for everything!!! No words can express my gratitude!

Complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, all guest rooms at Floral Hotel · Baihui Living Zhangjiajie have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the accommodation all rooms include bed linen and towels. Although the owners can't speak English but we communicate very well through the translator. Very lovely couple, would help us with everything we requested. What I'm really touch was you found a puppy (a week old?) in a garbage and took the puppy home and took really good care of the puppy. Lovely couple!
