Hostels in Hunan, China

"The location is fantastic, right next to Peiyuan Bridge Metro Station, making it super convenient for getting around! The hostel has a great atmosphere, and even as a solo traveler, it's easy to find companions. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and the environment was comfortable. My only small suggestion is to improve the cleanliness of the bedding details; this time I found a stain on the sheets. Other than that, everything was satisfactory, and I would consider staying here again!"

"It's a great hostel! It's very clean and the location is also very good, especially if you're planning on visiting the Tianmen Mountain. You can either take a less than 20 minutes walk to the entrance, or take a Didi to get there extra fast. You can also get amenities such as shower gel, shampoo or dryer at the first floor."

"The ultimate base camp for Wulingyuan Forest Park Staying at Travel of Swan Hostelling International (Wulingyuan Forest Park Logo Store) made exploring Zhangjiajie’s famous sandstone pillars effortless. If your main goal is getting into the park early without wasting time on transport, this hostel is hard to beat. Unbeatable Location East Gate Proximity: The hostel is literally right next to the park’s East Gate entrance (the Landmark / Logo Gate). You can wake up, grab breakfast, and walk straight into the ticket station in minutes—easily beating the massive tour-group crowds to the cable cars and shuttles. Neighborhood: Plenty of local restaurants, convenience stores, and fruit shops are right outside the door, making it convenient to stock up on trail snacks or grab dinner after a day of hiking. Room & Amenities (Single Room) Private Comfort: The Single Room is quiet, clean, and well-maintained—ideal for solo travelers who want privacy to rest after logging 20,000+ steps. Key Features: High-pressure hot water in the private shower (a lifesaver after a long day of trekking), comfortable bedding, fast Wi-Fi, and efficient air conditioning/heating. The Verdict For any solo traveler or independent hiker visiting Zhangjiajie, Travel of Swan Hostelling International (Logo Store) is an absolute 10/10 recommendation. You cannot beat walking directly from your room to the park gates every morning."

"I had a very comfortable stay. The owner was super nice, and the environment was beautiful and clean. The landlady cleaned every day! It's really close to the subway station, just 100m from Huangxing Square. There are plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment nearby. Guys, I've even seen this place half an hour after checking out."

"It's rare to find a hostel with a private courtyard in the city, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. On the way to the hostel, you can experience Changsha's unique vibrant atmosphere and laid-back charm. Getting here is convenient: take the subway to Yingwan Town Station, exit from Exit 3, go through the underpass towards 'Tongcheng Plaza,' and then it's just a few hundred meters walk. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, which is a big plus. Highly recommended! "

"1. The room was very clean, and my roommates were quiet, as was the surrounding area, making it perfect for a restful stay. 2. The auntie (staff member) was very kind, helped me with my luggage, and was very caring. 3. Food delivery was convenient, and there were password locks everywhere, ensuring good privacy. 4. Downstairs, there's a street full of snacks, great for going out to grab a bite."

"First, the conclusion—this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in, so I stayed for almost half a month! 【Overall Environment】Very new and clean. The owner has some design background, and the overall feel is minimalist and aesthetically pleasing. 【Facilities】One room even has two separate bathrooms and showers, which is incredibly luxurious and definitely deserves extra points! 【Cleanliness】Very clean. As you can see in the pictures, the lobby and rooms are bright and spotless, with no unpleasant odors. 【Bed and Air Conditioning】The mattress is very soft, not cheap bedding, and feels great against the skin. You don't even need to put on a sheet cover, which is very convenient! The air conditioning is also very powerful, yet it's surprisingly quiet, not disturbing your rest—better than many five-star hotels! 【Entertainment Facilities】The pool table is relatively new. I played a couple of games there every day—so comfortable! Also, there's even a free Switch on the second floor—can you believe it?! 【Food】The owner was incredibly welcoming, recommending many restaurants on the first day and even picking us up and dropping us off. None of them were bad! Especially the **Shell Boxed Meals—yyds! I ate there for a week! [Fun] The owner is quite playful; he brought a drone to play with us. A few of us went to a small canyon with Danxia landforms. This place was even more interesting than Xiaodongjiang, which I visited later, because it was undeveloped and more pristine! [Other] The owner also sang karaoke with us and introduced me to a song called ”Post-Rock” (or ”Slow Rock,” I can't quite remember). The song was fun, but it didn't do justice to the owner's personal charm. His goal this year seems to be skydiving or paragliding; I wish him success! [Summary] Danxia red cliffs reflected in the setting sun, Chenzhou is like a dream, no need to return! Mugen Youth Hostel, definitely worth a stay!"

"The place was nice , the host is very kind and speaks good English. You will find cute kitties living on the ground floor.the owner will help you booking tickets for the attractions if u need for just a small charge . There are always many guests both chinese and foreigners. You can have dinner all together for 30 yuan and experience various local foods. The rooms are clean , there is airconditioning and he will provide a set of sheets and blanket/pillow. He even took all the guests on an evening walk to some cave for free. Totally recommended"

"This is perfectly located to enter the east gate of Zhangjiajie park. It’s close the the bus station too. You can get filtered water, use microwave, and they have shampoo and body wash and toothpaste and disposable towels. The rooms are not fancy but comfortable. The staff are lovely, and they are especially helpful with planning your Zhangjiajie hiking routes. The receptionist gave me lots of good tips! Thank you! Also, theres a dog and cat as security your guards! 😆"

"在一個小區裏面，很喜歡這個小院子！來考試訂的，就是看見這個小院子覺得心情很放鬆。房間挺乾淨的，絕對物超所值！（我訂的單人間但是來晚了沒有了，所以升成雙人間了，圖片是雙人間） 旁邊是嶽麓書社，可以看書，附近有一些漂亮咖啡館，離商圈也很近。如果旅遊住的話也很推薦，離熱門景點地鐵都半小時內，而且比較安靜，周圍生活氣息更濃，比住景點旁邊好（小聲） 總之就是很推薦！第一次留這麼長的評論可見我有多愛！🥳"
