Located in Changsha and with Taiping Street reachable within 2 km, Changsha Desti Youth Park Hostel Wuyi Square provides express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 2.2 km from Juzizhou, 2.3 km from Kaifu Temple and 2.8 km from Pozi Street. Furong Square is 2.9 km away and Changsha Museum is 3.5 km from the hostel. The best Desti “背包十年” that I stayed at in China. More social than other Desti hostels. Staff was really friendly and actually joined me for a run. I had a really great experience here! 😁

All guest rooms at Zhangjiajie Highlights Guesthouse feature air conditioning and a desk. Room was very clean, the staff are very friendly and helped me plan part of my Zhangjiajie trip! The hotel is a 5 minute drive from the East Entrance to the park so it's easy to get to.

Only a 5-minute walk from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Destination Youth Hostel features private guest rooms and simple dormitory rooms with free Wi-Fi. It offers a tour desk, a library, a games room, a shared kitchen and convenient guest services. Perfect location, ridiculously close to the Zhiangjiaje park entrance. Pharmacies and food stalls very near. Ralph was super helpful and explained everything in detail, from how to get to Tianmen mountain, to arranging transportation. The room was big, with everything you may need: comfy beds, electric kettle and complementary bottles of water. A BIG PLUS for me: the noise cancelling windows. The bathroom was spotless and toiletries were provided. Keep in mind it is common for showers here not to have curtains or separate spaces. Water pressure and temperature was perfect - excellent after a 12-hour-walking day. I would absolutely come back to this hotel. Amazing.

Thank you very much for this week!

Border Town International Youth Hostel Fenghuang Ancient City Bar Street Branch features accommodation in Fenghuang. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. I arrived close to midnight and was given a private room instead of a bunk bed in a dorm, probably to not disturb others sleeping. The staff also provided an extension cable with the appropriate socket for my charger. The location was truly excellent, in the midst of the old town but on a side street, so not nousy as it can be with bars and singing thru late evening.

Across the hostel, there's breakfast place and supermarket that sells some breads. It really felt like home away from home.
