Stayed here one night after being in Wulingyuan for two. It is December so it is cold out. The room has two heaters and warms up very quickly. The host was kind and spoke enough english to help us out. We had late flights so we hung around a bit after our day of hiking. Our bags were locked in a room for us all day and the lobby was open with a heater for us to rest in until leaving for the airport. Also a very good restaurant around the corner you can find on Trip Advisor. Also good location being a 5 min walk to bus/ train stations and 10 minutes to cable car.

We have been in this hotel for vacation and we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is nice with everything is necessary to have. The staff is nice and speak a good English. Sophia in special way is very helpful to assist you to organize your tour. I can recomend it. The only note is the breakfast...nothing special and it takes too much time.

Many thanks for choosing our hotel, I'm very pleased with your compliments. If you contact us earlier, we can buy Tianmen Mountain tickets for you in advance. Zhangjiajie's trip will be more prefect. But overall it's good. Let you have the motivation to go Zhangjiajie again, hehe. If you contact us in advance, we will give you a more perfect journey. For breakfast, Too many people ordered breakfast that morning, Every breakfast we have is made on the spot. So it's in a hurry. I apologize for that. Thank you again, I am always looking forward to your coming again.

The owner of this hotel is really quite special. When we were coming in from Huangshan, he offered to pick us up from the railway station, even though it was late at night. The hotel is in great condition, with some of the more comfortable beds we slept in thus far (seriously, some of our other hotels they were hard as rock). The following day he helped us get to the Glass Bridge by written instructions, which are in both English and characters, so you can show bus drivers and ticket offices and you will get where you need to go! He sits down with you, provides a map, how long it will take, how expensive, and what to expect! First time that has happened all trip! What really makes this man special is one night, he called our next hotel, per my request, as I was worried due to its remote location. He called and they told them it was cancelled, because it was under construction. He booked us 2 additional nights at his hotel, and even in the same room. Now, you might be thinking- that’s just more business for him! Well, that same day, I was researching train tickets to Xian, and they were all sold out. Panicked, I went to him, he sat down with me and truly took the time to help. He eventually helped us by assisting us in buying plane tickets. Without him, we would have been without a room, and no way to leave. This is a great hotel, with a really amazing owner! I highly recommend! 1000/10

Zhangjiajie is a tourist city, because of language barrier, It's not easy for foreigners to get detailed help. My hotel recieves guests from all over the world. For my guests, I will try my best to solve the problem. The beauty of Zhangjiajie is unique in the world, there are many parks of all sizes. And the route is more complicated. If there is no explanation, Guests will go a lot of wrong ways. I will help guests enjoy the best scenery in the limited time. Planning tours for guests is also part of my job, no charge, I like it, Because in the process of communication, my English is getting better and better. I'm very happy that my work has been recognized by you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.

We stayed there with my friend in California Hotel for a couple of nights. The owner did not only come to pick us up at the airport, but he also showed us where to go, how to go there, helped us with the tickets, gave us restaurant recommendations, etc. We were late for our flight to the airport? No problem, the owner drove us back there! We are more than grateful and I can tell y'all that it is really good value for money I used to live in China for a while, and I am a frequent traveler, and I can tell you something: If you look for an amazing trip experience in Hunan, in a small independant nice hotel with a great service, look no further!

Im really in love with this place. The owners are so nice and helpful. They can speak English fluently, and they helped us plan the trip. The room decorated with Chinese theme, is awesome. Moreover, the bed, pillows, and blanket are really comfy and soft.

This hotel is value for money. The atmosphere of the hotel is great and it is a great fun to sit in the lobby with the owner of the hotel the wonderful and serene Mr. Sean Sun, and his lovely and wonderful wife Mrs. Sophia Su. Sean and Sophia are so much helpful and Sophia is speaking great and fluent English. Her receptionist is very good, nice and warm woman. The room is great, clean and very comfort. Really this hotel is FUN. You can arrange an airport pickup, or drop in the airport, you can ask Sean to help you with tickets and itinerary. They can arrange you clean and folded laundry, all the hotel is new and renovated and have an elevator. Please read carefully my tips here - Now I will give you two important tips: 1. Ask Sean and Sophia to show you where to buy the best and tasty Dumplings you can ever eat, and it is so cheap. Do not hesitate and order a day before (see the next tip) a large quantity of tasty and all kind Dumplings. 2. Ask Mr. Sean Sun on the secret place, a special hidden diamond, a wonderful Nature Park that is really unknown and it is very unpopular and very uncrowded. Ask Sean about the place that is name begin with L . Sean can offer you a great bargain to take you to this park and to pick you up 3 hours later, and after you have done a picnic and eat your Dumplings, in the beautiful nature scenery secret park. It is really great offer and a great bargain. Recommended.

This super little hotel is elevated above it's rivals by the incredible service provided by Sophia and her staff. We stayed 2 nights, but had done very little research into Zhangjiajie. Sophia explained our options and took care of everything - tickets, maps, transport links etc. Everything went perfectly. I had left my coat in Shanghai and Sophia arranged to have the hotel post it to my onward hotel in Xi'an. As always, nothing is too much trouble for her! Location, security and cleanliness are all top-notch too. I've read reviews about planes passing overhead, but I didn't notice (anymore than anywhere else in the town). Beds are a a touch on the firm side (par for the course in China), but not a problem. As someone who has worked in the travel industry for the past six years, I would highly recommend this hotel.

We only spent 1 night here and we arrived late and left early the next morning. This is a hotel with a hostel vibe. Everything is nicely decorated in an otherwise ugly circus-like town. The woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. One thing you need to realize when you come here: not all rooms have a Western toilet! In some rooms the toilet is a squat with or without a plastic removable pot on top of it. The airport is close to the city centre, so you here airplanes flying over. But I guess that is in all the hotels in the city. They don't, or at least not that frequent, fly at night.

Thank you Kiki for your nice comments. For the toilet issue, we already re-decorated the toilet, we changed all Chinese style toilets to western style toilets in November, 2017. At the beginning when we opened Hotel California, we thought that we should leave 3 rooms with Chinese toilets to meet with Chinese guests' habit. But with time going on, we found these 3 rooms become the big headache in peak seasons. Most of the guests do not like. So we just directly change. Many thanks again for your advice! Welcome to Hotel California again!
