Find Top Hostels in Dali City

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!

Because I had a flight home early the next morning, I chose this hotel which was close to the airport. The hotel was unexpectedly clean and tidy, with complete facilities and very quiet at night. Such a low price was really touching. The hotel’s own restaurant is facing the street and its business is also very good. We ordered the specialty dish, spicy and sour fish. The proprietress is capable and quick, and the boss will send us to the airport for free the next day. I really recommend it!

The 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.

This hostel is really fun! You can cook and share meals with other guests, and the volunteer staff are super interesting. There's a dedicated game room for playing Werewolf, mahjong, and they even have a projector. Sometimes at night, people play music, so you can sing along and chat.

The room isn't very big, and the bathroom is quite basic, but it's cheap and convenient for shopping. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and the bus stop isn't far. It's great for visiting the night market in the evening, though it's a shame it's been raining constantly since I arrived in Dali, so I haven't been able to see any of the good sights.

I think we got upgraded to a family room but we definitely didn't mind the extra space including a couch and table. They had a waterboiler and cups and comfortable beds with extra blankets, however the remote for the AC was missing and it got pretty chilly at night. Did not make that big of a difference anyway since the AC was located outside the bedroom. Small notice for foreign guests: It was very hard finding the place since the map didn't show the exact location and doorsigns we in chinese/ didn't match the description on trip.

What really caught my eye about this hotel was the desk; it felt so simple and understated. Since this was a spontaneous road trip, we just picked a hotel randomly, but I was pleasantly surprised! When we checked out, they even reminded us not to forget anything. Plus, during our stay, they shared some great hidden photo spots with us.

This hostel isn't far from March Street, and it's surrounded by a small forest. You can also walk to the ancient city, which is very convenient. The female and male floors are separate, with individual restrooms and showers, so you don't have to worry about sharing. There are many activities, and the price is very affordable. It's a great place for those who enjoy meeting new people.

This was my first time staying in a youth hostel, and the room was quite nice. The window offered a view of Cangshan Mountain. Both the owner and the other guests were very warm and friendly, even inviting me to join them for a BBQ and beer. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere over a lively one.

The environment is good and the location is easy to find. It is close to the ancient city. There is also a washing machine and a place to dry clothes. It is more suitable for long-term stay
