Xijian Liangshe Vacation Guesthouse

The B&B's location is excellent, making it super convenient to get to attractions and shows. The owner was also incredibly friendly; I left something behind, and they found it and even mailed it back to me. So grateful! 😊

The owner was very welcoming, but the environment was quite subpar. There were bugs in the room, and the sheets had stains – I'm not sure if it was blood or something else. My skin was red and itchy from scratching all night. I finally fell asleep around 4 AM, only to be woken up at 6 AM by the cleaning staff, who were making a lot of noise. The soundproofing was terrible.

The moment I stepped into the room, I knew it was worth staying an extra night. Opened in 2020, but incredibly well-maintained, the room was even more comfortable than the pictures suggested. Nestled by a naturally flowing stream at the East Gate of the Forest Park, with many B&Bs lining its banks, this is a tourist destination with superb natural surroundings. To truly enjoy it, you need to stay in a clean and comfortable guesthouse like this. Xijian Liangshe is priced lower than similarly new hotels nearby, yet the rooms are impeccably clean. The shower pressure at night was so strong I actually had to turn it down! After a day or two of travel fatigue, a big hot shower is just what you need to wash away the weariness. The bed was super comfortable, and what's rare is that the duvet was just right – not too thin, not too thick – and the pillows were the perfect height. The owner clearly put a lot of thought into it, making it more comfortable than most star-rated hotels. The next day, I went to the scenic area and returned at 3 PM. Lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the stream while gazing out the window at the scenery was simply delightful! The owner was incredibly enthusiastic, responding to WeChat messages instantly. Knowing my travel plans, they constantly sent me messages with route tips and precautions. There's a small path to the East Gate, about a 7-8 minute walk, and there are tons of takeaway options, plus a restaurant downstairs. The owner even set up a coffee spot right outside with beer and coffee at very reasonable prices. I didn't have room for coffee because I wanted to have noodles in the morning, but I'll definitely try it next time. When I come back to Zhangjiajie, I'll stay here again. It's affordable, clean, comfortable, and convenient.

The housekeeper was very friendly and provided excellent service. They even helped us book tickets for the National Forest Park and Grand Canyon a week before our check-in. There's an 18 RMB all-you-can-eat breakfast right next door to the guesthouse (starts at 5 AM). The guesthouse itself is pretty good, about a 12-minute walk to the East Gate of the National Forest Park, and it offers a washing machine and dryer. I highly recommend staying here.

Traveling with my elderly parents, we chose Xijian. The guesthouse's location is excellent; there's a small stream right outside, with beautiful scenery on both banks. A wooden boardwalk leads directly to the East Gate of the Forest Park, about a 15-20 minute walk, which is very convenient. There's a supermarket and restaurants downstairs. We opted for a family room this time. The room was spacious, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom cleanliness wasn't ideal; there were yellow stains on the sink and toilet. I hope the cleaning staff can pay more attention to hygiene details. The owner was warm and thoughtful, helping us adjust our itinerary, which made our trip very enjoyable. The recommended restaurants also had good food.

The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, as the guesthouse is located right within the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. The location is excellent, right in the central area, making it very convenient. There's a picturesque path that leads directly to the ticket entrance. The rooms are simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable. The owner is incredibly kind and genuinely wants every guest to have the best possible experience. We were traveling with both elderly and young family members, so we asked for advice on how to accommodate everyone. The owner patiently provided a very practical plan – truly a 'local expert'! And finally, the draft beer downstairs was absolutely delicious.

Stayed for two nights, out early and back late. I snapped a quick photo when checking out. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. There's an elevator, and it's close to the scenic spots and also convenient for the long-distance bus station – a moderate distance, about a ten-minute walk to most places. Eating and shopping nearby are easy, and food delivery is fast. The shower had great pressure and hot water. The owner was very welcoming, gave us directions, and even provided a map upon arrival. They warned us about the monkeys. It's a great place for independent travelers. The first picture is of the room. The other two show monkeys: one snatched an old lady's backpack and got a banana, and another tried to sneakily grab our bag but failed when we noticed it – zoom in on it!
