Avatar International Youth Hostel

Good location in the town that is just a short walk from the akylift to Tianmen mountain. Staff were friendly and helped tell me how to best get to the National Forrest Park and Grand Canyon. Only slight downside is that the towels you have to buy are the disposable towels.

(I guess i did not make pictures of interior). A solid and nice hostel. Both Tianmenshan elevator and bus station to zhangjiajie national park are near. Local markets and city center square too. You just need to find smaller streets for cheaper prices. Rooms are celan, beds are soft. In the rain there is perfect sounds around for comfortable sleeping. You could open windows, moscito nets are attached. Bathrooms could have some water after showering. Usually that's ok. For exploration of Jangjiajie, it's a very good stay.

The owner was very helpful, when I arrived. We exchanged wechat to communicate and over that platform he gave me a lot of recommendations and also informations. The room was really good for the price. Sadly, the bathroom wasn't that clean. The location is amazing and best located to all the attractions. I like to come back.

It was fair. Nothing impressive but nothing bad. just an okay okay place to stay.

Its fine for a few nights, at the end of the day its a cheap bed, but could be so much better. Easy to find and good location near to bus station and cable-car. Staff were nice and helpful enough. I stayed in early March so luckily I had no-one else in my room which was nice. The room and bathroom weren't very clean but were fine for a night or two. Curtains on the bed are good. Although not much room for luggage and very small lockers without keys so just keep valuables on you. The bathroom set-up is so strange. The shower head is positioned right above the squat toilet (which acts as the drain), so you have to angle it to the side and be so careful not to slip into the toilet when showering. It was ok with just myself in the room but I can imagine it would be a nightmare if the room was full - people leaving mess in the toilet, trying to use it when the whole thing's wet and slippy etc. I understand the limitations of the room and plumbing but all it takes is a longer hose so the shower head to be positioned away from the toilet and it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Overall it was fine but could be cleaner and better designed.
