Zhangjiajie Ruyuan Homestay (Wulingyuan Landmark Store, National Forest Park)

This hotel really has been a highlight of our trip in China. The hotel owner and staff are so helpful and delightful. They really go the extra yard to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They offer a free pick up service from the airport and train station which we gratefully accepted. The hotel is situated in the town and was a key reason why we chose this hotel as it was a short stroll to all the local food spots - extremely handy for dinner. The hotel is a 15-20 minute flat walk to the entrance to the Park. All the amenities are extremely luxurious including C.O Bigelow bathroom amenities, Doewe Egberts filtered coffee, Dyson hair dryer set, Smart TV and room integrated with an AI assistant (Chinese language), soft velvety bathrobes, toilet with a bidet, and Bamford bath salts. Breakfast is made fresh daily with the choice of wontons, rice noodles and shrimp noodles. Complimenting this is a selection of delicious fruits, steamed buns, sausage, dumplings and rice congee. Eastern and Western diets are catered for with many seasonal fruits on offer. We also had toast and fruit juice. They also offer a free laundry service and did the laundry for us on our last evening and the clothes were ready early in the morning on our departure. Of huge importance to us was them taking the guess work out of organising our trip to the Zhangjiajie National Park. The owner sat down with us and provided a large map of the park and skillfully explained which parts to visit and which transportation to take between each site and sketched it on the map for us to keep. We paid for a park-wide ticket that covered all the internal transportation and access fees - something we highly recommend and is extremely efficient and economical. On the day of our visit to the park it was terribly cold, rainy, windy, and foggy. We were unsure which bus to take at one of the sites and they promptly replied to us on WeChat (this program is a must to use when travelling in China and most hotels use this to communicate with you when not face to face) after we took a picture of the signs and asked which bus to take. They also turned the temperature up to 26 degrees in our room so we were welcomed with a warm, toasty room. So considerate!! The room also had shoe dryers for wet shoes. On our last day during breakfast, at the communal table were guests from Hong Kong, Australia, Russia and Africa. This hotel is extremely foreigner friendly. We are so glad we chose this hotel!

神仙酒店！！！酒店在小溪邊，一棟漂亮的房子。炎熱的夏天到酒店後就給我們做了好喝的柃檬茶，房間空調也是提前打開，洗漱用品很有品質，早餐也是也非常不錯。為我們詳細規劃遊玩路線，每一處細節都能看出老闆在非常用心的經營。性價比超值！！
