If you want to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - the filming location of the movie "Avatar", this is an excellent choice for you. It offers great value for money. If you prefer small hotels rather than large hotels, Wally is a local who knows the park well. So he will guide you on how to enjoy your visit.

An excellent location. It only takes about 6 minutes on foot to reach the east entrance of the park. The owner will give you a free park map and he will quickly mark the tour route on it. I'm sure I'll have a wonderful vacation here!

Wally is a very good host. He runs a small hotel at the entrance of the park. The rooms are clean and comfortable. He is always ready to help. You can consult him about any problem during your trip.

In early April 2026, I stayed at Wally's for 4 nights and it was extremely pleasant. His location was very convenient for the east entrance of the park, just a 5-minute walk away. If you consulted him in advance about booking tickets, he would help you purchase the tickets. He is an excellent host, always willing to share his ideas and help us plan our trips, and also assist us in exploring those amazing parks. Add his WeChat and he will also provide assistance during your visit. Wally, thank you for allowing me to have such an unforgettable time!

Owner Wally is very willing to help you solve any problems. He is always very patient and can ensure basic English communication. He planned the route for us to visit the park on the map. We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay here.

Very good location; 5-10 minutes walk to East Gate entrance to Avatar mountains. Owner is amazing; gave us a map and explained everything step by step for all 3 days of our stay and our visits to National parks (we also visited Tianamen mountains, watched an evening show there and we visited Canyon with zip line and 2 slides. He booked us tickets for a show in Grand Theatre with some discount. Every room has a shower even though it's called hostel. Overall very nice and convenient place to stay.

“Best place for visiting Zhangjiajie”

Everything was perfect. Wally is the best host ever and helped us to organize the visit to Zhangjiajie. I can’t imagine a best place to stay! Very close to the entrance park. Thanks a lot, Wally!

Good room size for 2 and luggage 5 min walk to National Park Convenience store, restaurants and street food few seconds away from hostel Informative and helpful owner, cute laid-back dog

Very accommodating and helped us book tickets nd plan the park visits and owner went out his way to buy cake coz it was my partner's birthday

“Keep up the great service!”

The stay is comfortable and the facilities are adequate but most importantly the host provides excellent service and gives a warm human touch to the stay 👍🏻👍🏻

“Perfect!”

Perfect localization next to the night market and good restaurants. 5 min walk from the entrance to the park.

Great host, Wally was super helpful and kind. He helped us with planning our 2 day itinerary and it was awesome. Great location. Spacious rooms. Affordable. Highly recommend.

“Lovely guesthouse close to East Entrance”

Wally was very helpful with providing information about the park and helped us with an itinerary. The location is amazing, just 5 minutes walking from the East Entrance to the park. The bed is comfortable, the wet room is clean and the shower has good pressure. Wally even let us leave our bags in the room and use the shower again after our last day in the park (of course this was conditional on there being no new guests directly after us). Lovely place, fully recommend!

“Great location with friendly staff”

Location was great. Owner was very friendly and helpful. You get discount in several restaurants (breakfast and dinner) if you get referred by him.

“definitely recommend for solo travelers and friend groups, a very cozy place to enjoy the area from!”

Overall, the place is really nice! We liked how close it was to the food street and the park entrance, also pretty close to the bus station. For breakfast we went to next door neighbor for cheap and tasty chinese breakfast to fuel up before mountains, then on the corner there is a good chinese food spot for dinner, and if you go towards the park entrance, the korean place is great too! The owner of the hostel can speak english, he will advise the routes and places for you to visit, according to how many days you have, and he can even get you some local tea, which was delish! The one-bed room was spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the big window looks pretty nice! The place itself is not new, so it may look a bit old, but i’d say it adds a charm to it.

Very good locations. Just a few minutes walk to Zhangjiajie natural park. There are also a lot of food stall near the hotel

“Comfy place in a great location!”

Amazing location - 15mins to the national park entrance by foot. The place is very clean and comfortable. Mr Wally has been a great host, advising us on places to go and helping us with booking them too Highly recommend!!

“Good location and value for money.”

The Wally house is very near to the east entrance, about 5mins walk. The King Room is big but there is no lift available. Will need to carry the luggages up to your room. Mr Wally helps to carry though. There is no daily cleaning of room, so need to put disposal rubbish outside the room for collection. Changing of towels per your request. Fee flow of bottle drinks and toilet paper when needed. Washing machine is available for guest to use. The host Mr Wally is very friendly and helpful. He helps to receive our Taobao purchases before our arrival at the hostel. He also assisted us in explaining the places to visit and to book discounted tickets to the National forest park, Grand Canyon and yellow dragon cave.
