Jijia Yaju Hotel

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room is very clean and new. They even offer daily cleaning and changing my bed sheet. The lady at the front desk assisted me with all the attraction tickets and planned my visit at the park. They have a very cute cat in the glass box at the lobby. I wish the cat could roam around freely but I guess they have to consider ppl who don't cat as well. The cat is very affectionate. If you stay there don't forget to say hello with her

Would recommend Room Nice big bed, big TV, blackout curtains, kettle, lockable door. after weeks staying in hostels this felt luxurious haha. it has this smart room function which is pretty cool you can verbally ask it to do stuff like turn on the lights or close the curtains, but also bear in mind it responds to chinese phrases. my room only had a bin in the bathroom it might be nice to have one in the room too but not a big problem Location Walking distance to an entrance to Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. Also walking distance to the town where you can see performances. Lots of shops and restaurants in the local area. Think my Didi from the Zhangjiajie West Train Station was about 30minutes/90 yuan, but I think there are also bus options (I arrived after bus operating hours so not too sure) Hosting There was a bit of a language barrier, but the receptionists were very helpful with booking tickets for Zhangjiajie and Tianmen Mountain, and they also gave me a map. Amenities There's a washing machine but you operate it via like a wechat app and I know me and another traveler struggled to get it to accept our international bank cards. I eventually managed but the other girl didn't so I guess it varies. Washer is like less than 50p I think, and the dryer was broken when i went so i used the drying racks on the roof Bathroom Clean functional bathroom, nice shower and sit down toilet

Great place to stay if you’re planning to visit Zhangjiajie forest park. The staff helped us to book our park tickets and even helped us to plan the itinerary around the park for the 2 days we were there. The rooms are spacious and clean, and we had a great night’s rest. Location was awesome too, just a 5 minutes walk from the entrance, has a small night market, places to eat and massage parlours just outside. There is also a washer and a dryer in the hotel (need to pay). Would stay again :)
