Hostels in Hunan, China

Environment: The entrance isn't very noticeable, took me a while to find it, and it didn't really look like a hostel from the outside. Service: I was pleasantly surprised by how good the service was for a hostel! They even helped carry my bags to the room when it was raining and gave a very detailed explanation of the layout and facilities. Hygiene: The linens were all pre-fitted, just like in a hotel, and I saw the staff cleaning every room.

It has everything you need and the boss is nice. I will come again next time.

The room had excellent lighting, and the shared bathrooms were clean and tidy. It's just a 5-minute walk to the East Gate of Wulingyuan, and they offer comprehensive, thoughtful service for dining, lodging, and travel. I originally planned to stay for just one day, but I was so comfortable and slept so well that I extended my stay – I just wanted to breathe in more of Zhangjiajie's air. The itinerary the owner planned was incredibly stress-free. I was worried about not finding companions during the off-season, but to my surprise, I formed two groups with fellow travelers at the owner's international youth hostel. We had a lively and happy time, even in the off-season!

If you have never stayed in a youth hostel, you can really try staying in this one. Maybe the first time will be a ceiling-level stay experience. Staying in this hotel is like opening a gentle collection of poems, with delicate beauty everywhere; I arrived at the store at around 3 pm, and the front desk guy checked in very skillfully, and did not forget to share with us all kinds of delicious and fun places in Changsha. The boss must be a person who loves life very much. He turned the youth hostel into a home on the journey, so that every passerby can continue to the next stop with the gentle memory of this city and this journey. In the room, the simple log style is matched with fresh green plants, and the sun shines through the blinds, smudges soft light and shadow. The bunk bed hides a proper sense of privacy, building a small world for travelers, a high-quality experience of less than 100 yuan. The bathroom is clean and bright, with care hidden in the details, and the clean and tidy environment gives people a good first impression; the street view is hazy by the window, and time has slowed down. The public area is more like a warm little settlement. The coffee machine in the coffee corner is waiting quietly, as if it can brew a fragrant story at any time. The art paintings on the wall on the first floor and the guitar in the corner let the literary factor flow in the space. Here, you can not only find a place to rest, but also step into a romance about ”encounter”. Next time I come, I will definitely choose this place again to continue the poetry hidden in the youth hostel.

First, the conclusion—this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in, so I stayed for almost half a month! 【Overall Environment】Very new and clean. The owner has some design background, and the overall feel is minimalist and aesthetically pleasing. 【Facilities】One room even has two separate bathrooms and showers, which is incredibly luxurious and definitely deserves extra points! 【Cleanliness】Very clean. As you can see in the pictures, the lobby and rooms are bright and spotless, with no unpleasant odors. 【Bed and Air Conditioning】The mattress is very soft, not cheap bedding, and feels great against the skin. You don't even need to put on a sheet cover, which is very convenient! The air conditioning is also very powerful, yet it's surprisingly quiet, not disturbing your rest—better than many five-star hotels! 【Entertainment Facilities】The pool table is relatively new. I played a couple of games there every day—so comfortable! Also, there's even a free Switch on the second floor—can you believe it?! 【Food】The owner was incredibly welcoming, recommending many restaurants on the first day and even picking us up and dropping us off. None of them were bad! Especially the **Shell Boxed Meals—yyds! I ate there for a week! [Fun] The owner is quite playful; he brought a drone to play with us. A few of us went to a small canyon with Danxia landforms. This place was even more interesting than Xiaodongjiang, which I visited later, because it was undeveloped and more pristine! [Other] The owner also sang karaoke with us and introduced me to a song called ”Post-Rock” (or ”Slow Rock,” I can't quite remember). The song was fun, but it didn't do justice to the owner's personal charm. His goal this year seems to be skydiving or paragliding; I wish him success! [Summary] Danxia red cliffs reflected in the setting sun, Chenzhou is like a dream, no need to return! Mugen Youth Hostel, definitely worth a stay!

The sales lady was good and was speaking english (the only one tho) it was great not having to use the translator for once. She gave good recommendations and savings on the tickets. The ground reception floor was nicely curated, but not the dorm room.. The room had water dripping from the roof in a few spots (luckily not on the beds), there was some mold on the toilet cassette and wall stains from what seemed a water leak. The price was low so I guess can't complain too much. Beside that, the room was getting cleaned daily and the bed sheets were clean. 2 hair driers in the room. They provide shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, amazing to not see single use products. Great location!

Very clean. I feeled well in this house. The owner is a helpful lady. She send me all information to my mobile that I needed. From how to come via bus to the hostel to what sights to see best in 2 days. The location ist perfekt for tian mountain, but If you want to see the park, it is a bit far away, 50 min, 13 Yuan by Bus, didi about 50-60 Yuan each way. Facilties hostel standard, good value.

I had a very comfortable stay. The owner was super nice, and the environment was beautiful and clean. The landlady cleaned every day! It's really close to the subway station, just 100m from Huangxing Square. There are plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment nearby. Guys, I've even seen this place half an hour after checking out.

It is very close to the International Finance Center and Taiping Old Street. It is within walking distance to all Internet celebrity check-in points. It is very convenient to eat downstairs. The tea is really good and delicious. This is definitely a five-star review! The owner always pays attention to public health and will clean in time.” Service: You can't find a more considerate youth hostel. If needed, they will even help put the sheets and quilts on! Free toothbrushes and toothpaste, slippers, toilet paper, and warm water from a drinking fountain are also provided. Shampoo and shower gel are also provided. Facilities: The small living room actually has a projector to watch movies: each room has a bathroom, no smell, and is very clean. The six-person room I stayed in is spacious and the air conditioner is open all day. It's quiet at night and has a good sleep. Each bed has a small locker and a microwave for use. The washing machine is 2 yuan a time. The overall experience is great. This time I come to Changsha. I will also ”go home” and wait for the wind to come (I live there and give my honest review).

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.
