Inns in Hunan, China

"We really liked the hotel! The owner or receptionist (not sure which one was her) was really nice! she helped us with everything, from how we can go one place to another to raincoats, maps, tickets. She literally helped us with everything. The location is really good, only 1-2 minutes walking distance to Tianmen Mountain shuttle bus and cablecar location. Lots of restaurants around, pretty central. It was really quiet, we didn’t have any problem. There is no fridge inside the rooms but we were only going to hotel to sleep, so it wasn’t a problem for us. I highly recommend! 🤍"

"The B&B's location is absolutely unbeatable, offering the best views. We came to Furong Ancient Town mainly for the scenery, so choosing this place was definitely the right call. Due to its mountainous terrain, the overall cleanliness of Furong Ancient Town is a bit concerning, and the difficulty of getting up and down the hills probably makes maintaining hygiene quite challenging. The ladies at the reception desk of the B&B had a generally lukewarm attitude; we didn't see a single smile from them. The gentlemen, however, were all very nice. The restaurant staff provided great service, and the food tasted good too."

"Room was very nice, facilities were all good. Location was a quick walk to the waterfall. The towels had holes in them, there were dead squished flies on the walls. We weren't aware when booking that the entry to the scenic area wasn't included so we paid another 90 yuan per person just to enter. The staff were generally helpful but she confused the paid performances with others. We were told we could watch each of the performances but then were refused to enter the area. But, they offered a free pick up from the railway station and offered to for a ride back. The room is right next to a bar with live music so isn't quiet at night."

"we had other plans but it wasn’t possible anymore so we changed it as we had short days in zhangjiajie, they recommend us to go to the zhangjiajie grand canyon and it was amazing. Service is great, they’re really friendly and helped us one thing about our stay was that there were a few hairs on the wall in the bathroom the first day that we came in but that’s all"

"We only stayed one night, but honestly? We wished it were longer. The traditional wooden decor, the soft lantern glow, the mountain view from the room — it felt like stepping into a friend’s cozy mountain guesthouse, not a hotel. And the location was a dream: rolling out of bed and being minutes from the park entrance made our whole Zhangjiajie day effortless. After hours of climbing among those floating Avatar pillars, coming back here felt like a soft exhale. Clean, charming, ridiculously good value. If you’re visiting the park, this is where you want to wake up."

"The room was clean and conveniently located near the attraction places. At night, you can even enjoy the beautiful lights and shows directly from the hotel. Although the local food was not really suitable for us, we still managed to find a nearby KFC restaurant. Overall, it was a nice and comfortable stay ✨"

"Stayed June 2026 — 5/5, would book again I picked Baihe River Valley because it sits right inside the core scenic area of Furong Town, and that turned out to be the best decision of the trip. The inn is only about a 5-minute walk to the Grand Waterfall, opened in 2020 with just 21 rooms, so it feels small and personal rather than a big hotel. First impression: awesome staff. I was met at the entrance, luggage carried up, and even though my Mandarin is limited we sorted everything on WeChat in two minutes. That matches what other guests keep saying — “really friendly and helpful… view was amazing and rooms clean”, and “staff are so lovely, kind and helpful”. They also arranged a free pickup from the train station and dropped me back the next morning, which took all the stress out of arriving in the ancient town. The environment is exactly what you hope for in Furong. Chinese-style décor, warm wood, and it’s spotless — 24-hour hot water, strong WiFi everywhere, daily housekeeping. My mountain-view queen room was 25m², quiet, no dust, bed made perfectly each day. Others note the same: “room is clean and bed was comfortable”. Food was a real highlight. The in-house restaurant runs a la carte from 07:30 to 19:30 with outdoor tables, and breakfast is Chinese-style 07:30–09:30. I tried their Tujia national cuisine in the evening — simple, hearty, locally sourced — and the home-cooked breakfast the next morning was tasty and warming, just as another guest described. Breakfast was “nice” is an understatement when you’re eating it with the waterfall mist in the air. And the views. One of a kind is not marketing. From my third-floor window I could see the tiled roofs of Furong Ancient Town, and at night the whole gorge lights up. The hotel is positioned “very well, close to the waterfall at 5 minutes walk”, and I was upgraded to a room looking down onto the ancient town — “particularly amazing at night”. Waking up to the roar of the falls, drinking tea on the balcony, watching the lights reflect off the river — that’s the memory I’ll keep. Practical bits: 24/7 front desk, check-in after 12:00, check-out before 14:00, free shuttle service available, pets allowed, and the staff will help with town entry tickets. Overall: friendly people who actually care, great local food, an impeccably clean and calm base, and waterfall views you can’t get anywhere else. It’s currently rated 9.5/10 from 757 reviews, and after staying, I get why. If you want to experience Furong Town without the crowds and noise, stay here — and ask for a mountain-view room on floor 3 or 4."

"The environment is great! When you're out traveling, you really want to experience something different and get away from the daily grind. Here, you can see views you'd normally only glimpse on your phone! The inn is conveniently located, making it a great choice for a relaxing stay."
