The experience of staying at Escape Time is great! The international atmosphere is very strong. You can easily meet friends from all over the world in the public area at night. The communication is super interesting. And the location is very good. It is just a few steps away from the core area of Dali Ancient Town, which is convenient for eating, drinking and having fun. The fiber-optic Internet in the room is very fast, and there is no pressure to upload photos and check guides. In addition, the surrounding transportation is convenient, and it is easy to go to Erhai Lake, the Three Pagodas or take a car. It is highly recommended for backpackers who like excitement and convenience!
I started reading Da Bing's books in 2014 and longed for the life in the books. Finally, in 2024, I had the time and courage to come to Yunnan alone. I didn't plan to stay in Dali in the original itinerary. I wanted to stay for a month later. When I saw Da Bing's Youth Park, I decisively made a few days of itinerary. The service was very good in all aspects. It was worth the trip.

What can I say, I came for the 7 fluffy and beautiful cats 😻I wish I had more free time to cuddle them! Hostel is just outside the old town but with the free rides they offer it's not a problem. Easy access to one of the Cangshan cable cars, and to the bus going to the train station. The staff is helpful and they also offer tours. the mattress is too thin but that seems to be the case in many hotels in china

Charming hostel nestled in the heart of the old town. Although it's a bit tricky to locate, this adds to its tranquility, making it an ideal spot for restful sleep. One minor drawback is the lack of an open communal area where guests can easily connect with locals or fellow travelers. The hostel predominantly hosts Chinese guests, which might make foreign visitors feel somewhat isolated.

Highly recommended. The short-haired front desk lady is friendly, kind and very enthusiastic. The public areas and rooms are newly decorated and look nice, the bedding is comfortable to sleep in, and electric blankets are provided. There is a bus stop nearby which is very convenient. However, there were a lot of people queuing up for the two taxis I took, so I don't rule out the possibility that it was due to the peak hours.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hostel in the female dorm. While the dorm room didn’t have AC, it was comfortable and well-maintained. The shared bathroom was clean, featuring a typical wet room setup. The owners were incredibly nice and helpful, always ready to assist, and their excellent English made communication a breeze. It's great to know that the family lives on-site, adding a warm, homey feel to the place.
One convenient feature is the washing machine available for a small fee, although I opted not to use it during my stay. Breakfast is offered, but remember to place your order the night before to ensure you get what you want!
The location is quite handy, being close to the city center. Just a heads up, crossing the busy road can be a bit tricky, so take care. There are plenty of western food options nearby, which is a nice bonus if you're craving something familiar.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming place to stay.

Great location and a nice modern hostel inside the city walls.
Unfortunately the two others in the room had there stuff everywhere, unsure if this really was those or the hostel not removing less left by previous guests.
Staff were friendly and helped me book my bus to the next location but did give some incorrect information about the things to do in the local area

It's really the best youth hostel I've ever stayed in!!! The boss is also very nice. The bed and pillows are so soft and comfortable that I want to connect them. I stayed for three nights and was super happy. It's very convenient. I really like the mirror on the bed. I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is also good

GGuest UserFirst of all, it is very, very, very good! ! This is my favorite accommodation along the way.
The boss was very warm and kind, and sent out a lot of guides and helped with carrying boxes.
Every day when I go out and come back, I feel like I'm coming home. The host of the B&B will smile and say ”I'm going out” and ”I'm back.”
The smell smells good as soon as you enter the house, and for a person with a mysophobia, I think this place is very clean! Like this taste very much.
As soon as you go out, there is a small yard with hanging chairs and many plants and flowers. I really like the environment.
There is a big golden retriever sister at the B&B who is very, very well-behaved.
The location is very close to the ancient city of Dali. There is also a street outside the B&B with many snacks and restaurants.
Anyway, I still like it very much! Very happy! !

There is also an open-air small It is so comfortable to have a drink, enjoy the breeze and chat on the balcony in the evening. The boss lady is very warm and friendly. I give full marks to the clingy little dog. She made me feel good during my three-day trip to Dali! ! !

QQuanquan:I have wanted to travel to Dali for a long time. I saw information about Dali's scenery on the Internet and I was very yearning for it. Because the pace of urban development is so fast nowadays, life in a reinforced concrete office building all day long is boring. Life is not a track but a wilderness, and this time I want to be free. I left the city where I had worked for 4 years and came to a windy place. When I saw Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake with my own eyes, when the mountains and rivers in National Geographic appeared before my eyes, at this moment the mountains and rivers were no longer in the textbooks but under my feet. Use your feet to measure the land area, to record the beauty of mountains and rivers, and to write and paint the youth that belongs to us. I saw this youth hostel on Ctrip, as I had never stayed there before. After coming here, I feel that the trip is worthwhile. I have met many different kinds of people from all over the world here. Everyone has their own story, which made me fully appreciate the charm of Dali and the Youth Hostel. I also went to the March Street market with my colleagues from the store. The interactions between people made me feel that life is so friendly after leaving the workplace. Sharing meals and chatting with them, I felt the hard-earned freedom. All good things must come to an end, and the journey is long. Although winter is coming, spring is near.

I will stay here again next time. The hotel is clean, hygienic and ventilated. I am very satisfied. It is the first choice for staying. There is also a tea break area in the lobby. Tea is free, which is very considerate. The backyard has a good view and is comfortable. There is also a bay window in the room (which is my favorite). The light there is good. It is a good experience to play with your phone or read a book in the sun.

HHuhuyaThe beautiful things in Dali are not in the ancient city. I personally feel that Haidong is much more beautiful than Haixi, especially Santorini Utopia and Wenbi Village. However, the location of this store is still quite good, right in the Fenghuaxueyue Market. The boss's son recited Li Bai's poems, which he recited too late and the noise was also loud. The privacy of the room is not very good, just facing the main entrance of the inn, but the sanitation is still quite clean, and it is not a bunk bed but a single bed. The geographical location is still quite good, very close to those Renmin Streets and so on, very suitable for visiting the ancient city at night, but the prices in the ancient city are ridiculously high, you can only look and don't buy...

GGuest UserWe first reserved a bed in the dorm but the dorms are separate and not mixed as shown on trip(incongruity between Trip and the reality) then we decided to stay in a single room (the price is the same , 1 euro more).
The room is simple but has everything you need
It is spacious and with a big window.
The toilet has a 🛁 and it is located at the end of a huge and wonderful market.
There are common spaces really cosy.
Little negative note: the water pressure is really low

AAnonymous UserFirst of all, the hotel accepts foreigners (as of April 2024). It's located a few minutes' walk from the train station, and the bus to the old town area takes about an hour. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The room was large and in good condition. The staff was kind and helpful, allowing me to store my bag after check out. Perhaps the only issue is that the sound insulation is not great. Overall, great value for money.

GGuest UserThe sheets were very clean and had no peculiar smell. It was the first time I stayed in a hostel that didn't smell like a hotel. It felt like sleeping in my own home. The only drawback was that the public bathroom was a bit small. Another point was that there was no one when I checked in. The only person who greeted me was The boss’s cute little kitten. After packing up his things, he went out and went back very late. He didn’t even see the boss or his friends at the hotel. When he came back, my roommate told me that someone had a birthday and left me a piece of cake😭😭 😭I’m so touched, I feel the atmosphere is great
