__WeChat244685****A very comfortable guesthouse.
The owners were very welcoming; the owner was lovely, had a story to tell, and was very talkative. The whole family was very friendly and helpful, even helping with our luggage – thank you so much!! Actually, I wasn't really into the food in Dali this time, and was a little disappointed, but the owner recommended some nearby ”non-trendy” restaurants: Blueberry Fish and Ganggang Rice Noodles. They were within walking distance, delicious, and in a great location – right next to the March Street Market, and there's also a Lotus Root Shop nearby, which is great for browsing. It's also very convenient to walk to the Old Town.
And!! Peach the dog is so cute! A chubby little dog, so adorable and easy to pet. He even got up later than us this morning, haha!
Hope to see him again sometime!

__WeChat277867****Excellent stay, even extended it! It's super close to Xinmin Canteen, which is ranked number one in Dali Ancient City and also home to Yinmi, the best Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. If you're taking a taxi, set your destination to 'Bread Party (Yuer Road store)' for an even closer walk. You'll pass Xinmin Canteen on the way. Their red bean and sauerkraut rice is absolutely amazing – if you're tired of all the rice noodles, definitely go for their rice dishes. And the owner's cat is super cute too!

GGuest UserThis hostel is pretty good. It's not far from the bus station, which makes it convenient for shopping and sightseeing. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the shared bathrooms don't have any strange smells. In the evenings, you can meet a lot of fellow travelers in the common area; it's fun to chat with them. The owner even gives tips on where to find good local snacks. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.

GGuest UserI was a little scared when I first got on the bus into the village, but after entering it exceeded my expectations! Being able to stay in a hotel with such facilities at this price next to the airport is really cost-effective.
It is a restaurant and accommodation integrated into one. Meals can be packed and sent upstairs to eat. I ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables, which were delicious.
The rooms are newly decorated, better than hotels in the city. TV, WiFi, air conditioning, bathroom all worked cleanly and in good condition. The shower is a piano-key four-speed shower, so comfortable! There was a little problem with the WiFi in the middle. They came to fix it right away after I called. It was much more efficient than other hotels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's super close to the airport, about ten minutes drive, and you can take me to the airport at around five in the morning, thank you 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

AAnonymous UserThe hotel's location is excellent and very convenient for transport: it's right near Dali High-Speed Rail Station, making it super easy to get to attractions. There's also a bus stop right outside the entrance, with direct buses to Dali Ancient City. The bed was quite spacious. This time, because the hotel had extra rooms, they even upgraded my room type, which was a very nice touch. The lady at the front desk was also very warm and friendly. She even shared fruit with us! When we were leaving, she reminded us not to forget our belongings.

GGuest UserHaving grow accustomed to hostels that exceeded my expectations in China, this is a rare hostel that did the opposite. As a budget traveler, the hostel is fine. It has a hot shower, beds are fine, and the location is good for access to Cangshan, though its a bit far (30 minute walk) from the heart of the restaurant district in Dali Ancient City or the Three Pagodas. This hostel was definitely on the messy side, especially in the kitchen and the bar. The terrace has a great view, but is not really set up as a hang out spot. If you're looking for an affordable place, go for it, but I think there are better options in Dali for a slightly higher price.

GGuest UserThe staff are friendly and the location isn't far from Dali Ancient City. It's a wonderful place where guests can all gather together to eat and chat. If you're traveling alone or enjoy socializing and conversing with people, this hotel is perfect. In the evenings, there's true communication over a bonfire and beer. Everyone seems happy and full of energy. Thanks to them, I'm leaving with a lot of good vibes. I had planned to stay for two nights, but I finished sightseeing faster than expected and unfortunately changed accommodations to see the eastern side of Erhai Lake. If I come to Dali again, I definitely want to stay here once more.

GGuest UserThe usual hostel is undergoing renovations at the moment, so the actual accommodation is around the corner. I was quite lost until I texted the 'late entrance' phone number by chance and the owners father found me.
There is no bar, pool table or restaurant currently accessible but I'm sure it will be great when it reopens.
The room was lovely but very cold with a big gap under the door and a hole the size of a postcard in the bathroom. I think a more updated profile to reflect current amenities would be beneficial.
