Zhangjiajie Cloud Youth Hostel

It was a bad experience, I really don't recommend it. First of all, the hostel is very dirty and there is no maintenance at all. The bed is hard, although I know this is standard in hostels all over China. The air conditioning can only be turned on at night. There are no amenities like toilet paper or liquid soap. Also, it is far from the bus stop that comes from the West Railway Station, so you have to take a taxi or walk about 15 minutes, and it’s also the same distance from the cable car station to go to Tianmen Mountain. There are some hotel options with private rooms near the bus stop and the cable car station, for similar or slightly more expensive prices but believe me, it’s worth it. The only positive point is that the guy who welcomed me speaks English and is friendly.

Host is a super nice guy and very helpful. He helps you book your tickets as well as with communication and he has many good tips for you. Usually people hang downstairs, there are also three cute cats. Usually people order food and have dinner together. You will easily meet fellow travelers here. The place is otherwise very basic and could need repairs and more frequent cleanups. But that is not the focus here. The hostel is also close to the starting point to Tianmen mountain. PS: The package for the avatar mountains has hiked to 450 RMB including cablecars and elevator (you can use the ticket on 4 consecutive days). 12 RMB to take the bus to its south gate. You need two days to finish the avatar mountains. Then one more day for Tianmen mountain. Another day for the canyon, if you want.

Definitely backpacking hostel vibes but for the price you can't really complain Room Only one of the beds had a curtain around it and it was already taken. Bed was alright. There's a lock on the entrance to the hostel that I wasn't told how to unlock so just sort of had to knock and hope someone would let me in then theres a lock on the room doors but was also not given a key to that so it just stays open Bathroom Some of the showers look a bit grubby and the toilet smelt a bit funky but they do the job Hosting As with most 24 hours receptions I've encountered in china, it is not really 24 hours. The guy manning the desk seemed pretty friendly and some guests were sitting with him on the bottom floor and they mentioned that we could join them to go out to eat as well so it seems like a pretty social kind of hostel. I believe they can support you with booking tickets to Tianmen and Zhangjiajie Amenities I think they also have a cafe. Again no one was at reception and I didn't have their wechat so I couldn't ask about luggage storage but they seemed fine when I came to pick it up later in the day so there's that as well

張家界的美確實不錯！主要這幾天天氣也很好！很棒🌞其次青旅也很好，位置挺好找的，主路上，打了一通電話就找到了；到了青旅，環境挺好的，房間比較簡單，整潔，可能現在淡季，房裡衹有一個外國女孩子！尷尬，不會英文！房間也挺乾淨的！老闆非常好，又給我安排行程，又幫我定了優惠門票！👌很nice！總結這次旅行相當滿意！景好人也好😘
