    We received an upgrade to a better room with a view to the National Park. Unfortunately we also had a view on a neighboring premise with a little bid of rubbish, but this did not bother us really.

    5 minutes away from entry to the park, and free transfer with a car. Very delicious breakfast, helpful staff who helped us whenever they could.

    The location is not so good because the hotel is situated on the top of the hill, some 2.5 kilometres from the south entrance to the park. But (!) you will have a free ride to the entrance and back by the hostess.

    The room is big enough and has a balcony with a view. The hostess can't speak English, but she uses the electronic translator. She explained to us about all the attractions and helped to build the plan.

    The Mount View Cottage is AMAZING. The views are spectacular, and the comfort of the room is excellent... It is a formidable place to stay while enjoying the national parks during the day. The beds are so comfortable and the views and bath of the room are just exquisite. Even the toilet was comfortable (heated seats and smart toilet). The location is very quiet and overlooks the "Avatar" National Park, such a special place. The staff were very friendly and helpful - they had the verbal translator device to translate Chinese into English and facilitate the communication between us. They booked all the tickets to the national park and Canyon, and recommended a route to see as much as we could with the time we were staying in Zhangjiajie. They also drove us to town for dinner and to the national park at no extra cost. And picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and train station at a reasonable price. They also let us use their facilities for laundry which was very helpful. The breakfast is local style freshly made - rice, eggs, tea, Chinese cake, fruit.

    Excellent location close to the South entrance to the Scenic Area. We had an amazing view on the mountains from our balcony. The location is very quite and piecefull. The owner gave us a lift to the park entrance and pick us up in the evening, which was very convinient. Also we got very good information and suggestions about the park and all our needs were solved very efficiently. Breakfast is good but quite basic. In the evening you can get a dinner from the hotel restaurant, which was tasty. Comfortable beds.

    NOTHING

    The best place for us to close to ZhangJiajie National Forest Park. The excellent view from the hotel and location for looking across at the mountains. The owner were super friendly and help us everything(tickets for the Park, cable car and Tianmen Mountain for the next day. The breakfast is delicious and food is fresh. The Matthew were happy to help with any and all questions on-line.We love this quite place where can run away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just relaxed here. I would highly recommend this hotel to all.

    No one spoke a word of English which made everything really hard. There were roosters right outside our window that started screaming nonstop since 4 am. Breakfast had very limited options, only bread and noodles. Hot water took ages to come out. It is located far up the mountain with nothing nearby

    The room was pretty and comfortable.

    Coffee for breakfast would be a wlecome addition.

    Looking for a genuine Chinese rural location small hotel experience? It is located at the very end of a ~1.5 km road (Xiejiayu) up the hill from the village where the National Forest Park Ticket Station entrance to Zhangjiajie is located. The location is a bit confusing, I haven't been able to work out the name of the small village, but turn left at the bottom of Xiejiayu Rd where it meets the main village road and you are right at the National Forest Park entrance. This is a very quiet entrance to the park where you can walk the Golden Whip stream path (highly recommended) or take buses to cablecars to Huangshi mountain or up to Yangjiajie (not Yuanjiajie) which is at the western edge of the busy main area at the top of the park. The no-nonsense proprieter will sort you out with Park tickets and advise on itineraries in the park through her interpreter machine. She will arrange pick-up and drop-off car for you to airport or train-station which is reasonably priced. She kindly gave us a breakfast package when we had to leave early the next day. The view from the hotel is quite impressive, the rooms are simple but comfortable, and home-made food is available to be cooked anytime. The breakfast was traditional but nice. You will get a real feel for the lifestyle in more village-type China locations. Transport to the park and elsewhere you need to use Didi which worked well and was inexpensive. First day the host recommended we enter the park at Zimugang Entrance where bus took us to the Bailong elevator and up to the tops. We then did the circuit at the top and down the cablecar at Tianzi Mountain to Wulingyan entrance. This worked well and we got a real idea of the park which can be quite confusing until you have been there and understand how it is laid out. You could also get a Didi to the Tianmen Mountain lthough the entrance to this is back in Zhangjiajie city. The park scenery is out of this world amazing.

    Unfortunately below our window there were ongoing constructions from early in the morning. Therefore, we would wake very early every morning. It would have been nice if we were informed on this so we would have been able to bring earplugs. Also, the cleaning of the shower could be much better.

    Nice hotel in a remote location. Also, the grandma will prepare delicious food. The reception helped us in advance with the tickets to the NP and glass bridges. She gave advice on what to do.

    1.Noise. It was like sleeping inside a child’s playground. Until midnight there were kids playing outside the room, and above us. Slamming doors, moving furniture. 2.Room was very basic, not like the photos , you simply paying for the view. The shower was somewhat mouldy looking. 3. The foreigner service isn't functioning well, and it charges too much for its services.

    Good Mountain View

    Staff: Two of the staff members are great, but the owner is not very pleasant—always angry at the staff and constantly trying to sell additional services (pickup service, tickets to the mountain, etc.). Location: The location is somewhat inconvenient, being far from the most popular entrances. This hotel is close to the first gate but distant from the main attractions. Ambience: If you're looking for a relaxing, outdoorsy area, be aware that this place is quite remote and has a lot of garbage burning, which can be unpleasant. There are also plenty of mosquitoes, so be sure to protect yourself. Price: The hotel has listings in both English and Mandarin. I booked through the English listing and paid about 30% more :(

    Great view of the mountain, very large room, 2 of the staff are helpful and cordial.

    Air conditioning was smelly. Dogs and chickens very noisy throughout the night making it difficult to sleep. Would have liked more choice at breakfast (fruit and yoghurt etc).

    Very nice views of the mountains. Good showers. Lovely home cooked food at breakfast and in the evenings.

    Very cold room in winter. No way to warm it up, +7-10C impossible to use bathtub although I paid extra to have it. Had to wait 20min for hot water in the shower. The neighbours don't care about tourists and start noisy wood cutting and other works at 7 in the morning, impossible to sleep well. The location is isolated, long way to all park entrances and any restaurants, the view was not worth it for me.

    Nice window view, The host kindly served hot meal no matter the late arrival. Warm blankets.
