It was a super relaxed atmosphere. We were with a big group and Xiaomei the owner was very helpful. The breakfast was great. Especially the suites are a very good value for money.

Recommend”

The staff at the Glass Cube go above and beyond to please their guests. The rooms are fun and unique. The owner offered to allow us to change from the glass cube room to a rainbow room on our second night free of charge so we could experience the different rooms. We chose to stay in our rook because we were tired from hiking, but it was very kind of her. The breakfast was mostly Chinese (ans delicious), but they had toast, eggs, and fruit as well. Look no further if you are looking for a family feel, unique rooms, peacefulness, and views.

Exceptional hospitality”

Xiao Mei and her family have thought hard about what travellers actually want from their hotel. Excellent WiFi, free laundry facilities, comfortable beds and great food all combine to make a wonderful stay. The fresh mountain air and bamboo forest surrounding plentiful vegetable gardens make for a real feeling of retreat and we enjoyed evenings playing mahjong and watching the bonfire

Exceptional”

The setting was spectacular and the facilities were super. Really good food, all locally sourced or home grown. The staff were so friendly and our daughter loved playing in the pool. We didn't need them but there were washing and drying facilities-ideal for families and kit used for walking through the National Park which is on the doorstep (South entrance). The rooms gave a taste of the traditional Chinese lifestyle but with spotless, modern bathroom facilities in an eco-friendly way.

It was like staying with family”

It is the second time we have stayed at Glass Cube Inn. The accommodation is about 10 minute walk up a hill, but the hotel worked carry your luggage for you. We love the place and the owners. They make guests feel part of their family. You feel really welcome and looked after. They anticipate your needs and create a very relaxing homely atmosphere. We really like the house with the hot tub. It has got beautiful views and the beds are very comfortable. The food is Chinese style but they adjust to your dietary requirements. Thank you Xiao Mei and family for an absolutely amazing Easter break in beautiful Wulingyuan area!

Fabulous stay at a gorgeous guesthouse, filled with character and owned by the wonderful XiaoMei!”

From the moment we arrived, XiaoMei, the guesthouse owner, was amazing! She was incredibly friendly, and helpful and great at making sure we were comfortable and had all we needed for our visit. She helped organize and plan our days out - ordering drivers when required. The guesthouse had character and was set in beautiful surroundings. Its location was convenient for the national park, which was a short walk away.
Not so much a 'didn't like', but do be aware that to get to the hotel there are stairs to climb up from the road - it's good exercise and a friendly porter carries the bags - but do be aware. :)

The hotel staff was very nice. We received lots of tips for planing our hiking tours in the near national park. Great stay for families. It is not a common hotel, but a very, very nice family-friendly home stay like experience.

Perfect Mini-break stay.”

Honestly - everything. Xiaomei and her whole family are super lovely and accommodating. Xiaomei let us stay in three different rooms for our stay to have the full experience of her beautiful property. We first stayed in the Glass Cube which has incredible views of the mountains. We then stayed in the bubble which was so cute and cozy. For our last night we stayed in one of the rainbow houses which was honestly incredible. We really recommend people to come and stay here. Xiaomei and her whole family were helpful with what to do and see and making sure we set for the day. The food is excellent that they grow and prepare on site. Honestly, not a bad thing to say about our stay here! We absolutely loved it!

Amazing place!”

Unique constructions, from a traditional Hunan wood house, to glass cubic house, bubble houses and much more in a harmonious and natural surroundings. Excellent hostess.
I don’t rate it with a 10 since it requires a steep walk up the road and therefore it’s not suited for everyone.

Hidden gem in the mountains with great owners and staff”

Many thanks to the owners and their staff. They were very welcoming from the beginning of the stay to the end. There are 500 steps to access to the hotel and the staff really wanted to carry our luggages. Welcome drink and moon cake with fruits at the arrival. We stayed in the glass cube room. It was a very nice experience. Btw the pictures of the room maybe should be updated: the room is more comfy and equipped than on the pictures (cabinet shower, curtains) so the overall feeling is a bit less minimalist and transparent. We warmly recommend this hotel and would be very happy to stay again there.

The location is amazing, the pool gets direct sun until 5pm. Food is good, and the staff is really helpful in organizing the day, the pick up, and the drop off. We asked for a late check out, and they were happy to let us stay longer in the room. The view from the bath tub is exceptional.
It takes a few stairs to get to the hotel, so after a long day you gotta make an extra effort. But it also means you are far from the noise.

OMG! This is by far the best place I've stayed. I stayed in the glass cube and it was beautiful. The view is absolutely amazing. Hung out on the roof and relaxed. The hotel has everything you need in terms of an on-site restaurant. The staff was both friendly and helpful. When we arrived, our welcoming was both friendly and warming. Would definitely stay here again.
No complaints.

Fantastic host who really looked after us. She has fantastic knowledge of the local area and is able to provide really valuable suggestions on the places to visit within the national park and beyond. She is a kind host who made sure that we had complementary water and fresh fruit given to us every day whilst also ensuring that the evening meals were suitable for our dietary requirements.

The place is lovely, surrounded by nature and close to the south gate of the park. Xiaomei and her husband are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They went over and above: helped us with the transportation, the itinerary and booking of the park tickets and even upgraded us to the glass room since there weren't other guests. Would definitely recommend their guesthouse!

Fantastic relaxing holiday”

This hotel was a great recommendation from a friend. Really glad we stayed 8 days. The hotel is easy reach to the South Gate of the Zhangjiajie National Park and we made full use of the 4 day ticket as the park is very large and there is lots to see. We can not praise this hotel highly enough. There is a steep walk up the hill to reach the hotel but you are rewarded with great views and a tranquil location amongst the trees and your luggage is quickly carried up for you. The accommodation is an unusual mix of traditional wooden cabins and ultra modern living pods which are spread over a wide area with a terrace, barbecue/fireplace, children’s play ground, karaoke and outdoor pool. Feels more like a small eco resort than a hotel. We stayed in one of their traditional houses which although was wooden and over a 100 years old was tastefully modernized and equipped with air conditioning, hot tub and Japanese toilets. They were cleaned everyday with fresh towels. The hosts are a lovely couple whom we found to be extremely hospitable and genuine. There is a real family feel to the place, they anticipate your every need and they and their staff tried their best to make sure everyone is happy. It’s the little complimentary things that make a difference like laundry service, fruit and spring water every day which other places might charge for. They even Invited us to join them and their sweet children to enjoy a local hot spring resort which is well worth going to. When it was time to go, we all felt sad to be leaving.

Outstanding!”

The people that own this hotel are super helpful and kind. The room we stayed is a traditional wooden house with almost 200 years, amazing rustic and modern decoration. Everything in the room is unique. Outstanding bathroom, big and comfortable beds. It is located in the middle of the forest and you can see the Avatar Mountains from there. Nice playground for kids. Great food! They took us to the airport with no extra charge. My family and I will definitely come back.
