__WeChat244685****A very comfortable guesthouse.
The owners were very welcoming; the owner was lovely, had a story to tell, and was very talkative. The whole family was very friendly and helpful, even helping with our luggage – thank you so much!! Actually, I wasn't really into the food in Dali this time, and was a little disappointed, but the owner recommended some nearby ”non-trendy” restaurants: Blueberry Fish and Ganggang Rice Noodles. They were within walking distance, delicious, and in a great location – right next to the March Street Market, and there's also a Lotus Root Shop nearby, which is great for browsing. It's also very convenient to walk to the Old Town.
And!! Peach the dog is so cute! A chubby little dog, so adorable and easy to pet. He even got up later than us this morning, haha!
Hope to see him again sometime!

AAnonymous UserThe large dog at the front desk was adorable, and the landlady was very friendly, sharing a map of authentic local restaurants.
I stayed in a double room, which was a bit small. I hope they can replace the curtains/bed curtains with blackout ones.
The location is quite convenient; Didi (ride-hailing service) can get you to the door. There's a communal area on the balcony for drying clothes.

AAnonymous UserBesides my favorite 'Li Li Wan Xiang' hostel, this is my second favorite! They have two adorable cats, the environment is quiet and spotless, and you can rent a car, which makes getting around super convenient. I stayed two nights in a row and genuinely didn't want to leave!

GGuest UserThis 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!

GGuest UserWhat really caught my eye about this hotel was the desk; it felt so simple and understated. Since this was a spontaneous road trip, we just picked a hotel randomly, but I was pleasantly surprised! When we checked out, they even reminded us not to forget anything. Plus, during our stay, they shared some great hidden photo spots with us.

Gghl.A comfortable stay, with helpful staff.
Lots of young people who were generally friendly and helpful. I think there's a good community here.
The smoke from the nightly campfire was unpleasant as our room faced the front yard. Thankfully we managed to close the windows.
The hostel is set in a village just outside the old city - about 10 minutes walk, I think. Very conveniently located near the #8 bus route to the train station.

8.9/10
AAnonymous UserThere are tons of food stalls nearby, and a whole street outside is lined with car rental shops. The first one on the left after exiting is the cheapest, with no mandatory insurance fees.
Earning money isn't easy, so I just wanted to travel on a budget. This place was the cheapest online, so the value is pretty good.
Facilities: Hot water 👌 No air conditioning, but I guess it's not really necessary.
Cleanliness: Clean, because there aren't many people staying here, and they're all very clean.
Environment: Cozy and comfortable.
Service: Good service; they even helped with my luggage.
The bedding was clean, and the comforter felt very sturdy.

8.8/10
GGuest UserFacilities: They provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair dryers, and slippers.
Hygiene: Very clean.
Environment: There are many 'qingju' e-bikes nearby, and it's a short ride to the ancient city. It's close to Sanyue Street, where you can shop and find lots of snacks and fruits. There's a pub downstairs, but the sound insulation is good, so it's not noisy at night.
Service: The owner let me check in early and upgraded me from a 6-bed dorm to a 4-bed dorm. I was worried about not having bed curtains or private space, but the 4-bed dorm also has bed curtains. They provide disposable bedding (sheets, duvet cover, pillowcase) which you put on yourself, so you don't have to worry about cleanliness. The owner also kindly offered me fruit, haha! My luggage was a bit heavy, and the owner helped me carry it upstairs. When I left, they even helped me carry it downstairs and load it into the car. Many thanks to the owners! I had a great time in Dali; the scenery is beautiful, and the people are warm and welcoming.

JJasminiagGood location. Room is basic. Bed is very hard and air-conditioner sounded like it was going to fall off the wall 😅 This is a no frills room. The staff are very nice and checkin was super easy. I think the room price should be cheaper due to not providing towels or housekeeping. OK room for a quick night.
