AAnonymous UserStaying at the Anyu Hotel in Dali Ancient City was such a delightful surprise! The overall ambiance is incredibly stylish, with a great design aesthetic that's elegant without being over-the-top. It's clean and comfortable, making you feel relaxed the moment you step inside. The location is perfect too – it’s peaceful yet close to all the action. We felt incredibly safe, as it seems to be right next to a military base. If you're an early riser, you can even catch the sunrise and watch the troop drills! This spot allows you to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the ancient city without being disturbed, and you can easily explore the city on foot. It’s incredibly convenient.
We stayed on the third floor, which only has three rooms in total. On our first night, we were the only guests, giving us the feeling of having the entire floor to ourselves – ultimate privacy! It truly felt as comfortable as being at home. The common area on the third floor is also beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of thoughtful details. The whole floor made us feel like we were on a 'staycation at home.'
The room even had a small tea room, which was a huge bonus! As soon as we arrived, my father and daughter couldn't resist sitting down to play chess. The atmosphere was so quiet and comfortable, truly embodying a sense of everyday life.
The service was also exceptional. The staff were all incredibly nice, and their attention to detail was outstanding. We arrived quite late, and just before reaching the hotel, we got stuck in traffic due to a garbage collection truck. One of the female staff members immediately came out to meet us and help with our luggage. It was really heavy, but she managed to carry it all the way back to the hotel and up to the third floor! Even though she must have been exhausted, she still happily introduced us to everything and got us settled. Every evening, they prepared a 'good night' snack, which added a lovely touch of ceremony. The afternoon tea was also exquisite, both visually appealing and delicious. And the breakfast was tasty – simple yet thoughtfully prepared.
My favorite part was the balcony on the third floor. Sitting there, enjoying the view and the breeze, was incredibly therapeutic. It perfectly encapsulated the slow pace of life in Dali.
Upon checking out, they even gave us a thoughtful portable cup as a parting gift. It was a small gesture, but it really made us feel appreciated.
Overall, this is a hotel I would definitely want to return to. It’s perfect for a relaxing getaway.
