Hostels in Yunnan, China

First, let me start with a compliment! The service attitude was exceptionally good! Whether it was asking the customer service小姐姐 for two extra quilts because I'm sensitive to cold, or asking the kitchen姐姐 for a plate to wash some fruit, everyone was incredibly willing to help! No one showed any impatience whatsoever. Everyone was genuinely wonderful, like a big, happy family! Now for the downsides: The secondhand smoke issue is really serious! From the moment you walk in, there are smokers everywhere, and there are ashtrays outside the rooms on the second floor, with people smoking there every day. Of course, I had seen reviews mentioning this before checking in, so I was mentally prepared. Also, the water heater was still quite unstable, alternating between scalding hot and freezing cold. I was practically doing a tango in the shower! Overall, it's great value for money, and I even found a companion. I would still recommend staying at 'Dajiaoshi' if you're traveling alone!

The lady at the front desk left a wonderful first impression ❤️. Our WeChat conversations afterward were also warm and pleasant ٩(๑^o^๑)۶. The room and lockers were a good size and came with locks. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and the food in the restaurant was nice. The environment outside the room was relaxing, and there were optional activities every day 🥳. In short: Hope to see you again 🏅

First off, the location is excellent! You can walk to the old town, making it super convenient to get around everywhere. The facilities are also very comprehensive, and the hygiene is top-notch. The bed was incredibly soft. There's even a pool table in the common area and a dedicated vanity room for women, among other things – it feels really cozy here. The restaurant on the first floor is lovely; you can gather around the fireplace, which is so warm. I even made some friends here, everyone was so nice. Hope to see you all again next time I'm in Shangri-La!

The location is convenient, close to Dali Ancient City, with complete commercial facilities nearby including restaurants, supermarkets, and various shops. The hotel boasts a strong sense of design, feeling young and trendy, and offers multiple spaces for interaction, communication, and quiet contemplation. It features independent public bathrooms, a laundry room, and a rooftop drying area. The hotel is relatively new, and many details are thoughtfully designed, with excellent amenities and hardware. The staff are warm and sincere. Overall, a great experience.

During my trip, I stayed here 3 times. It was comfortable and cozy in a separate room. I like the location because it is in a quiet place and at the same time not far from the old town and the bus station. Cleanliness in the toilets could be improved, everything else was fine

Stayed here for a layover, and the hostess was lovely. If there was an empty bed, she'd send the password, and I could just check in. It had a super large balcony. I had an 8:30 PM bus and didn't leave until 7:30 AM the next day. I spent the whole day sunbathing on the balcony and had a great time chatting with my roommate. It was so relaxing, I almost didn't want to leave! It's very close to the station, just a few minutes' walk, super convenient! Wishing the hostess great success in her business 🤝 I'll definitely be back ✌✌

This is a detached house located within a residential community, offering exceptional peace and safety. It's conveniently situated for getting around, and shared electric scooters can be parked right outside the community gate. The bedding is high-quality, and for female guests, it's a cute pink set. There are lockable cabinets both inside the room and in the hallway outside. I was really happy to have a balcony to dry clothes, and a squat toilet, which is very hygienic. There's also a small courtyard and a common area on the first floor, plus a cat! Since it was off-season, I basically had the 6-person dorm all to myself. I stayed for half a month because it was so comfortable.

Sister Cai Cai was incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Although we didn't interact much, her meticulous attention to detail was evident. I was extremely satisfied with her recommendations for food, entertainment, and other experiences—a full five stars for that alone. The lobby had a great atmosphere, and it was clear many people had been staying for several days. There's a large courtyard where you can enjoy the view and relax. The bedding was clean and comfortable; the mattress was almost as thick as a hotel mattress, and the bed was sturdy. The bedside lights were shaded by wooden boards, eliminating the glare from direct sunlight (I've stayed in many hostels, and Cai Cai was the first to show such attention to detail). The surrounding environment was quiet, and I slept very well. There was crowing in the morning, intermittently from around 5 am to 6 am. I suggest more clear reminders about the room check-in rules. One guest was playing music on their phone, so a quiet environment should be maintained in the room, both day and night. By the way, my room was opposite the clothes drying area, and the room light was a bit dim, as shown in the picture. In short, I highly recommend this place!

I only stayed one night and then left. During the off-season, for just an extra 20-30 RMB, I could have stayed in a guesthouse with air conditioning and a private room. I've stayed in Hangzhou and Chengdu in 2023 and 2024, and had a great impression. However, this Lijiang branch, perhaps due to too many guests or cleaning staff being overwhelmed, had rather poor hygiene. 1. There were dried-up contact lenses left by the previous guest on the bedside table. 2. Before going to bed, there was a large bug on the bedsheet… it really scared me. 3. The bathroom was a bit dirty, especially the door which looked encrusted, like a public toilet… the water stains in the sink from brushing teeth and washing up hadn't been cleaned in time and looked very dirty. 4. Some of the bedside power outlets weren't working (both the two and three-prong outlets had no power, fortunately, the front desk later moved me to another room). They should really check these. The young staff provided very good service, but the cleaning aunties definitely need to be given stricter instructions.

In the relaxing small space, sit around with three or five friends and chat, snacks and hot tea are in place, no need to deliberately find the topic, just stay together is very comfortable. The fireworks in the flat days, probably this is the relaxation. The charcoal fire was burning, the sausages were on standby, and the slippers were made into small circles. Nothing is more healing than squatting on the street and waiting for a fireworks.
