Dali Upland International Youth Hostel

I stayed here for half a month, and the room was very clean with excellent service. I met so many like-minded friends in Dali. This wonderful time will be unforgettable for the rest of my life! I will definitely be back.

Clean and hygienic, the hotel has a full range of facilities and services, perfect for various activities.

I chose 'Escape Time' on a whim for my solo trip to Dali, and it exceeded all my expectations! The location is perfect – quiet yet just a few minutes' walk from the South Gate of the Old Town. It's super convenient for exploring the night market and renting a car to go to Erhai Lake. Being away from the main street's traffic noise, I slept incredibly soundly at night. The dorm beds come with full blackout curtains, individual reading lights, and lockable storage, so you can draw the curtain for your own private space. The mattress is soft and silent, so turning over won't disturb your roommates. The entire place has air conditioning and separate wet/dry bathrooms, and everything is meticulously clean. The public courtyard is lush with greenery and perfect for photos, and the lobby has a PS5 and board games. There's open-air movie screening every night. The front desk service is thoughtful and attentive, and they even help with itinerary planning. The all-in-one washer and dryer completely solve laundry problems for long trips. This place offers incredible value for money. As a solo traveler, staying here felt warm and secure. I'll definitely choose this place again when I come back to Dali!

Just got back and remembered to leave a review! This is one of the best value-for-money hotels I've stayed at. The service was warm, thoughtful, and attentive, and the environment was elegant, comfortable, and pleasant. The room decor was cozy and unique, and everything was spotlessly clean. All in all, I'm very satisfied and will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

The environment is quite good, and the public areas are spacious. The bedding is also relatively clean. Here, you can work with others or find people to play cards with. Many international guests stay here, making for a pleasant experience.

The rooms are clean and tidy, the public areas are spacious, the staff are enthusiastic, the breakfast is delicious, and there's a coffee bar. I've been here twice and will definitely come again.

My bestie and I stayed in Dali for a while and found our ideal youth hostel. The environment here is really great, with all rooms having private bathrooms, and everything is clean and tidy. They also have a lot of activities, and it was so much fun staying here with my friend. I'd say this is probably the cleanest youth hostel in Dali.

The hotel seems fairly new, and the facilities are decent overall. However, there were no disposable cups. The makeup remover pads shed fibers when I used them on my face. The bathroom door mechanism was a bit finicky and annoying. When I first arrived, the woman at the front desk was on the phone and didn't acknowledge me, even when she saw me walk in. I had to proactively ask her if she was checking people in, and she continued her call while asking if I was checking in. Later, when I came back from exploring, my room was stuffy and hot. Since the front desk was just a few steps away, I went to ask if the air conditioning could be adjusted. She then coldly told me I could send a message on WeChat! I was speechless 😓! I was already at the front desk, just adjust it, right? Then, she reluctantly adjusted it with a sour face. While it's an international youth hostel with a decent environment, the front desk's professionalism and service attitude are really lacking! It made for an uncomfortable experience.
