Dali first International Youth Hotel

The room and bathroom were quite clean, and everyone staying there was very quiet and well-behaved. The best part is that this hostel has an absolutely wonderful cat 🐈 that never gets annoyed no matter how much you pet it. Cat lovers, come quick!

First, let me start by saying the location is excellent, right within the ancient city streets. There's a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea right outside the alley. However, the room is completely and utterly NOT soundproof! There's such a huge gap under the door. Around 1 AM, another girl was on the phone right outside my door, and I was forced to listen to the entire conversation, word for word. There was absolutely no soundproofing whatsoever. Also, even though I was the only one who booked this room last night (the platform also showed three beds still available), it felt like I was walking into someone else's home. Items were scattered everywhere, and the bed curtain offered absolutely no blackout. Then, starting at 9:30 AM the next morning, music began playing continuously until past 10 AM. I was essentially forced to wake up at 9:30 AM. Finally, I'm not sure if the bed frame is 1.3m, but the mattress definitely isn't 1.3m. The homepage is engaging in false advertising. This was a terrible experience.

The location is convenient. There's a church nearby, but it's a bit of a walk to get to the accommodation itself.

A very satisfying stay! This hostel is tucked away in an alley, but it's not isolated at all, just a few minutes' walk from the main street. It's a peaceful spot despite being so close to the action. The Catholic church is right in the same alley. The room was clean and tidy, with all the necessary amenities. The owner is handsome, friendly, and enthusiastic. If I come back to Dali, I'll definitely stay here again.

This hostel is incredibly comfortable! The rooms are clean and quiet, with excellent privacy, making for a truly peaceful stay. The biggest surprise was the free washing machines, thoughtfully separated for men and women, which is incredibly convenient and friendly for female travelers! I also met some super interesting women here, and we hit it off immediately, which really warmed up my trip. It's fantastic value for money, I highly recommend it!

They even provide a curling iron, which is a thoughtful touch! The room smelled lovely upon entering. The cleanliness was truly excellent; this was my first real solo trip. At first, I couldn't find the location within the ancient town. If you have a lot of heavy luggage, you might want to reconsider as the stone paths and uphill climbs can be quite challenging. Other than that, everything else was great.
