Tiffany was extremely accomodating. This hotel is near the less frequented WEST GATE of the park, which means a lot less options for everything. Only because of Tiffany's help throughout our trip would I say this was a 5 star experience. 4 stars mostly because the nearby restaurant is very local and might not be suitable for Western families with toddlers, like ours.

If you want to stay in the country side with no room service, no restaurant, outdoor bathroom (which I don’t recommend in the winter) then this is the hotel for you. It is probably not the best option for tourists that are visiting Zhangjiajie as it in an isolated area. The hotel itself is clean, and the views are amazing! It was a good experience but it wasn’t what I had hoped.

Quaint break from city life

This is such a cute hotel. The service was great, food was delicious, and the property was so quiet and peaceful. It was raining when we were there so we couldn’t use the pool, but I bet it would be even more beautiful on a warm sunny day. The staff is friendly and wanting to please the guests. There isn’t really anything nearby which was fine for us as we needed a break from the chaos of a city. They have a bar, which is beautiful, up on a hill with karaoke and the bartender was so sweet playing us some American music! Would definitely recommend his hotel.

Super surprised by the quality and uniqueness of this hotel. The staff were super attentive, food was fantastic and the area is magical. There is a great hike right up the valley behind the hotel. Rooms are nice and toasty in the winter but the rest of the hotel is a little cold so bring warm clothes. Looking forward to going back here one day

Great place to mentally relax in

Absolutely fantastic hotel , it will disconnect you from the world and it's very close to the Zhangjiajie national forest park . Grace at the reception is incredible and extremely helpful. Everyone at the resort are just so kind. I highly recommend you to use the hotel services for any airport pick-up and drops. Airport taxi will not accept to drop you there because it's very far away from the city center and the way is dark at night and a bumpy ride. All the important attraction could be arranged from the hotel. Due to the location it's challenging to do it on your own except for the national park forest which is just few mins away.
