I stayed in a 4-bed room for 2 nights. This hostel is very nice and clean, the bed have fairly news with all the basic things you need, light, outlets, ******* and you have lockers as well. Shower and bathroom were well kept as well. The location is not super central but I like it this way, less noise and with a scooter it took me no time to go in the heart of the town.
They have nice common area and they provide free drinkable water. They have one laundry and one dryer which sometimes can be a bit inconvenient but not a big deal either.

I recently spent two nights at this accommodation, and while there were not many foreigners around, I still found it to be a decent experience.
Upon arrival, I received a coupon, which was a nice touch, but I found that the minimum spending requirement made it less useful for solo travelers like myself. I had requested a bottom bunk but ended up with a top one, and I found the bed to be quite hard. However, the provided curtains added a nice level of privacy.
On the plus side, they offer lockers, towels, and slippers, which is convenient. The bathroom, however, could use a bit more attention as it needed cleaning, and I noticed that the shower had a leak.
Overall, considering the price, I can't really complain too much. The staff at the front desk were friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. Just a heads-up: there are two flights of stairs, and you'll need to walk through the restaurant/bar area to access the lift to the rooms.
All in all, it’s a budget-friendly option that meets basic needs!
Facilities: The facilities are complete. You can eat, drink and have fun in the yard without having to go out. The restaurant is amazing! ! ! As soon as the dishes were served, people started to eat them with relish. No wonder it is called Taotietang. Not inferior to any restaurant outside.
Hygiene: Disposable bedding! ! ! There is a cleaning lady every day, it is very clean and comfortable.
Environment: The yard is huge. You can watch the sunrise and sunset and enjoy life in the youth hostel. The bed is super comfortable and it is very private.
Service: The staff are very enthusiastic and will recommend fun places in Dali. You can listen to music and have a drink in the courtyard at night. Many activities will also be organized to maximize the experience.
I really don't want to leave. Can you offer an annual pass package? ! !

Stayed 2 nights. Pleasant hosts. Easy to communicate with. Check-in was quick and convenient. Comfortable big bed. Boss arranged a tour to Yuanyang terraces. Awesome experience. He knows all the right places to stops. Amazing place, beautiful and picturesque. I won't hesitated in booking and go along with him. Thank you very much. Boss
Absolutely fantastic! I'll definitely be staying here again on any future trips to Kunming or Dali. The rooms are incredibly well-appointed and come fully equipped with everything you could need. The other communal facilities are also extensive, and they even provide a thoughtful amenity kit. The dedicated hosts were all exceptional. The public common areas are huge, offering plenty of entertainment options. I especially loved the terrace – it's a wonderfully comfortable place to just relax and unwind. You could easily spend an entire day here without feeling the need to go out. The housekeeping staff were also very friendly. Looking forward to my next visit!

The amenities of the room and the service were one of the best during my travels in China. Huge windows, a bathtub and an incredible shower made me thoroughly enjoy my room.
One thing that bothered me is the cigarette smoke that enters the room through the windows from the area right outside the hostel. Smoking is very common in China, but my experience would have been even better if I didn't wake up to the smell of cigarette smoke.
Breakfast is okay and I skipped the communal dinners as the vegetarian options were limited.
Despite the above, I'd stay in Liliwanxiang again the next time if I'm in Dali again.

Shangri-La Youth Hostel: An Absolutely Fantastic Experience!
This hostel truly understands what travelers need! The location is unbeatable – it’s just a short walk to Dukezong Ancient City, and it feels incredibly safe returning after exploring the night views. The rooms are spotlessly clean and well-ventilated, with bedding that smells wonderfully fresh, as if sun-dried. The common areas are both cozy and impeccably tidy, and from outside, you can even catch glimpses of distant snow-capped mountains. The host is exceptionally welcoming and helpful; they not only went the extra mile to draw us a personalized hand-drawn guide but also offer electric bike rentals, perfect for exploring. It was heartwarming to see fellow travelers from all corners of the globe gather, chat, and share their stories over warm yak butter tea. This truly is the most authentic and heartwarming way to experience Shangri-La. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on my next trip!

Met interesting travellers in this hostel. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Location is very accessible walk to Dali Old Ancient town, do note that food options during peak meal hours can be limited as it can get really crowded and busy. This place is an excellent option for a quiet and restful stopover from the hustle and bustle of Dali streets.

I liked the hostel that i extended my stay. Even though its away from the old town. There's a bus stop on the main street and I would take a didi back when it's past 18:30.
Some of the staff speak english so that was really helpful, the room was clean, they even upgraded me to a 2-room dorm which helped me relax from the trip. The WC area is spacious, it's great to have the water spray next to the toilet and heated seats are a plus. I found the laundry area with shoe cleaning machines very useful. They also have a restaurant/bar on-site in the lounge area and I really liked the food there, had three meals and it was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.
Cool place although it was pretty empty when I was there , room was clean.
No soap or toilet paper in the bathroom
Shower was nice and hot
The host helped me plan my stay in lijiang
Nice place. Although a little far from the old city

GGuest UserLocation was great that it was a walk away from the Kunming Railway Station where I needed to be to leave the city. I liked how it was near a lot of food places! The volunteer Evens was an interesting person to talk to when I learned about his background in what he does as an occupation and where he is originally from in China. The owner Winni was a nice person as well and I appreciated and enjoy her and some of the other guests that cooked for us the night that we had a big dinner. Thank you for being part of the chef crew Winni. Everybody who stayed at the place was respectful and considered towards one another in the way that they conducted themselves. Was able to go along with the rules of this hostel because it fit my daily habits. Nobody had any habits that bothered me.
Not really into the hostel type of stays, due to lack of privacy. Was just happy to stay at this place since it was pretty much right at the doorstep of the Kunming Railway station where I can catch my train on time where I wouldn't end up getting lost in the city which in turn would end up missing it.
The only negative thing that I didn't like was that the bathroom did not have bath towels and just regular hand towels where I would not be able to dry myself very well after showering. Because of this I didn't want to take a shower at this place and the fact that these towels were used repeatedly from other guests, which made me feel uncomfortable wanting to use it. Would come back to this Hostel again if I happen to have to come back to Kunming again where I needed to be near this train station to catch at train there.

KK VThis hostel is located about 10 to 15 minutes walk from Dali Ancient City, but still offers convenient access to amenities. The surrounding area has plenty of local restaurants, bike rental shops and a nearby market. With a police station next door, safety is not a concern.
I stayed in a dormitory room with an ensuite bathroom. The hostel staff and cleaners generally maintain the space well. However, cleanliness can quickly compromised due to inconsiderate guests. That said, I observed that the team consistently cleaned the facilities at regular intervals, so the issue wasn’t due to a lack of effort from the management.
One highlight is the rooftop washing machine with complimentary detergent, which is such an excellent convenience for travelers.
The front desk staff were helpful and approachable. They offered practical travel advice, such as recommendations for electric bike rentals and guidance on typical market prices. I found this especially useful for planning my days around Dali.
The beds are comfortable and each comes with an individual locker and curtain, which gives me the personal space and security.
The hostel also encourages a warm communal atmosphere. I appreciated the small gatherings in the lobby, such as casual singing sessions. There is also a WeChat group for guests to join occasional outings.
Overall, I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. It’s a solid choice for travelers looking for a clean, friendly and sociable hostel experience in Dali.
GGuest UserThe first time I stayed in a youth hostel, the experience was very good. The boss is a couple. Especially enthusiastic to help deal with everyone's various demands. The mattress I stayed on the first night was hard, and the proprietress helped me re-pave the soft bed. The accommodation is on the second floor, the building is relatively high, there are glass doors, all girls, very safe. I also met the tourism in different provinces, which is very interesting. In addition, Jingmai Mountain has many tea picking and tea experience activities. If you don't want to go to a place that is too commercial, you can ask the boss to recommend going to the farmer's home for immersive experience and exchange ethnic culture. Really highly recommended! ! ! !
GGuest UserOne of my favourite hostels of all time, and completely unexpected too. This is a REAL traveller hostel operated by attentive, kind and cultured staff who have great taste in music! It's only a 5 minute walk from Kunming main station and is situated in a quiet area with all necessities nearby. Would recommend 100%

GgigihahaIt was a pleasure to stay here. Location of this place was very near to the train statio. And its pretty easy to find i placees to get food and beverages. The staff was so helpful and very kind to help us in various manner such as finding places to eat, visit, and many other interesting places about kunming as well as other cities like Lijiang and shang rila. The facilities inside our room was excellent, kitchen and bathroom were very clean. The bed was clean with bedsheets making us so happy and memorable stay. We wish to recommend other visitors as well.
CCate_02The location of the hostel is perfect and the view is unreal! The staff is helpful and kind. The only thing that gave me problems is the thin mattress, a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I think it’s worth the price.
