Bantianju Hostel

Great stay with great hospitality! Really nice that they offer pickup and drop off at the airport. The area where the hotel is located has a very remote atmosphere(which we loved!), but since the whole town is small it takes no time and 10-15RMB with a didi to reach downtown. Overall they were really accommodating here. The woman that runs the place helped us with booking tickets to the national park + gave us a walk through of all the attractions we should see. When our plans changed and we had to leave a day early they approved our second night cancellation right away. We only ate here once, but it was delicious with huge portions. They also have self serve vine tea in the rooms which we appreciated, and you can even buy some at the hotel if you don’t have time to buy somewhere else. Last but not least - view of tianmen mountain is incredible from this place!

The hotel owners are extremely nice and very helpful, they would help us with any hiking trip we wanted to go on and let us leave our suitcases when we had already checked out but were waiting on our flight. As hosts, they are truly welcoming. But I personally wouldn't stay here again, as there are a couple things that were less optimal: - because the hotel is very close to the airport, it will get very loud when the planes fly over the house (they fly until around 1am. To deter birds, they also play extremely loud banging sounds during those times, in random intervals) - for the price of the hotel, I expected pristine conditions, which we didn't find it in. The room seemed rundown and even though cockroaches are not the worst, for the price of the panorama room I'd expect no dead ones in my bathtub. - the restaurant of the hotel is very tasty, but it's not ok to have to wait 20 mins between each dish. Also it's not ok to have the owner's children's friends come up and stare and scream at us while we eat, just because we are foreigners - when I put the do not disturb sign, because we want to sleep in, I would prefer to not be disturbed Again, the owners were nothing but wonderful, but I personally wouldn't come here again for above reasons. Had the price been in the same range as other hotels, I could've accepted things as they were, but because we paid triple the amount I expect no less and more than what we got from other hotels in lesser price ranges.

good nice 🤩

Our host was friendly and surprisingly picked us up from the train station! She was most helpful in planning the rest of our trip, helping source tickets and just general advice. The room was on the top floor had a stunning view of the mountians, fields and the airport runway. It was a very pleasant stay.

A great guesthouse with stunning views of Tianmen mountain. rooms are spacious, comfortable, well appointed and clean while service is detailed and always with a smile. The location is a little close to the airport which could disturb light sleepers, but otherwise the facilities and atmosphere make for a great stay in Zhangjiajie.
