Shanxing Inn

This hotel is perfect if you are looking for a cheap and quiet place to rest. The room was really good and spacious, the environment was also very clean. The shower room had hot water with good pressure and there was a water heater and a hair dryer available. The room view was also amazing. I was very happy with my stay in this hotel. The hotel id indeed close to the south entrance of the park so there are restaurants and shops nearby. The only problem is that you have to go up and down stairs to get to the hotel and at the end of the day when you're super tired that can be a pain but I just thought of it as extra exercise. They added a "ramp" for you to be able to roll your suitcase which was ok. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Zhangjiajie again.

The owner is extremely kind and it will help you get a lot of info about the place, however they don’t offer normal size towels and the room was pretty cold (tough you can warm the bed and it’s comfortable sleep). The position is both a good and a bad thing, cause it’s totally out of the park chaos but still 5 min away from the entrance and with some restaurants in the area but it’s pretty hard to find the hotel for a foreigner and if you have a suitcase or a backpack full of things it’s really tiring.

A lovely place to stay, with gorgeous views of Zhangjiajie. The staff were super helpful and always around. Big spacious rooms, clean bathrooms with nice, hot showers. The wifi was really good and worked well. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Zhangjiajie Forest Park, the South entrance is less than 1km away. This place is great for any type of traveller.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! We were treated so kindly by the host, and the room was spotless. The location of the inn is stunning, with mountain views and a pretty stair pathway leading up to it. It is also a ten minute walk from the entrance to Zhangjaijie and next to many restaurants. The path to the inn can be a bit tricky to find at first — just look for the inn signs pointing to a stone path on the edge of a parking lot. I would definitely stay here again!

First of all, Zhang, the guy working at reception, is kind, and helpfull, all in all, wonderfull. He helped me with everything he could, with a smile on him, either it would be getting info for the park or for the buses around. Having said this, the hotel is situated in an awkward location, having to climb 354 stairs (I counted) to get to its front door from the main street. This should be a problem only for some guests, as they decide it, but this info should be posted on the hotel profile. Besides, there is no heat, having only the electric blankets to keep me warm in a quite cold area. Lastly, also just to put info out there, the toillet is for squatting, there is no sitting toilet (again, it is up to each guest to decide how this affect them). All in all I enjoyed my stay, though there is plenty of room for improvement

If you do not want to be at the main entrance of the park in the turistic town full and you want a quite area, 10 min walk from the south gate of the park and with an amazing view, this is the perfect place. Carefull if you go there in the winter: no AC, but just a bad heater.

The location was great ,very close to the national park entrance,quiet, the owner was helpful even with the language barrier. Not complains

Very mixed feelings. Location : the map in the app puts the hotel along the road, that's what I had chosen it, it was supposed to be very close to me (a had a heavy backpack, and a pain in the knees, I didn't want to walk a lot). But you actually have to climb stairs for 5mn, it's not convenient if you have suitcases, or heavy luggages. The location is nice because it's very quiet and the view is beautiful. But the situation is not clear enough on the app, I don't know if it is the responsability of trip.com or of the hotel. Room and equipment : the room would need to be refreshed, but it's clean. Only a small towel is provided and it is not changes. There is no drinkable water provided, you have to buy bottles. It is not normal, if one's rents a place to sleep, he/she expects to be able to drink. I really did not appreciate that. Staff : the person in charge was not unpleasant however I didn't like the way he registered me. Giving my number was not enough, he asked me to call him to check. I did not appreciate at all this way of being suspicious, as if I was going to give a wrong phone number.
