The location of the youth hostel is very good. It is close to the food street and it is very convenient to eat. The owner's house can rent mountain bikes to ride around Erhai Lake. The price is reasonable. The room is facing two streets. It is a bit noisy in the middle of the night and it is easy to wake up

The 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

Hosting
Friendly and smiley. Took up bags without asking. Answer questions over wechat. Even the other guests were friendly! Usually Chinese visitors don't really speak to me (which is fine of course), but the girls I shared a room with even asked me to dinner with them and shared food
Location
The pictures they have down for the exterior, it's actually to the left of that. walking distance to the ancient village and chongsheng temple. easy trips to the lake.
Amenities
Fridge, washing machine, hair dryer, shoe dryer, toiletries, kitchen area etc. all included. There's like a communal courtyard area as well and I believe you can eat there too but you need to book it the day before by a certain time.
Bathroom
Sit down toilet. Shower. Toiletries. Looks a bit shabby at first glance but the shower toilet and sink are all working and very clean
Room
Lovely thick mattress (I've found they are usually quite thin in Chinese hostels so this was a nice surprise). Heater if needed. I'm not entirely sure how the lock on the door is supposed to be done.
Overall great atmosphere. The pictures look a little bit rough around the edges but its honestly fine and i think I could stay here a while

Song and Dave speak excellent English and Song especially was very helpful and apologetic about only having a room with two single beds rather than the double we booked (a conflict between bookings made on Trip & C-trip). Nevertheless the beds were comfortable and we slept well. Room was clean and tidy although no toilet paper and the flexible shower broken (large overhead shower working). No kettle in room but community water boiler on ground floor in courtyard. Nice atmosphere in hotel and architecturally satisfying, great views from roof where there is a place to do laundry and hang clothes to dry. Short walk to ancient town, and the neighborhood around the hotel also worth exploring. Recommended.

If you are traveling on a show string budget, this place will be just fine. The pods are well maintained. No toiletries and towels provided. Get your own. The owner is helpful. The place also has bikes which can be rented at 10 RMB per day. Has wifi.

The environment and facilities are pretty good, better than I expected. The geographical location is also very good, at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, close to the ancient city and March Street. When the weather is good, you can see the snow-covered Cangshan Mountain, which is very magnificent. The most important thing is that Dali has a strong cultural flavor here. Even if the weather is bad and you can't go out, you can sit in the bar downstairs for a day and chat with friends from all over the world around the fireplace, so that a person's journey will not feel empty and boring. Finally, there are often barbecue activities in the store. The boss's barbecue skills are very good, which left a very deep impression on me!

GGuest UserThe front desk staff are friendly and eager to provide information. The location is in the center of the business district, which is convenient for shopping. Here you can chat with many friends and get their experiences. The service staff are also willing to help solve problems. However, if you stay in a private room, it will be easier if there is a lounge upstairs. It smells like smoke and is noisy. It is suitable for a room with multiple people and is cost-effective. The electricity and hot water systems happened to be unstable during those few days. This is the only drawback.

GGuest UserThe hotel is nearby one of the ancient city in Dali. Just a little bit at a side road from the big road through Dali.
In the street of the hotel are a lot of shops. Also restaurants. You can get (Chinese) breakfast in the morning and lunch and dinner in the evening. At the big road are also a lot of restaurants.
The hotel is modern, clean and the rooms are roomy enough. Of course, the big rooms will be more roomy.
Everything is clean, neat and working.
Just the wifi is a little bit unstable.
A really plus for this hotel are the beds. They are very comfortable with nice thick duvet and clean linens.
I stayed in this hotel in the low season. So the price for this hotel was really neat. But even in the high season, it will be worth every penny.

The large floor-to-ceiling glass in the lobby is my favorite. Outside is a small forest, and occasionally you can see wild squirrels.
Hygiene: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Auntie cleans the house every day. The bedding is very clean and the mattress is very comfortable.
Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The front desk service is very good. Just like friends, volunteers will help carry luggage and guide the way to introduce the environment and equipment of the youth hostel.
Facilities: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
There is a dedicated clothes drying area on the third floor, as well as a washing machine and dryer, which I think is very considerate.

IIvan DuanA typical youth hostel, nice fellow travellers from all around China. I stayed in 4 person dorm, won't recommend because it is on 1st floor and facing the street - feeling that people walk and talk just a meter from your head. Otherwise the place is great, good relaxed atmosphere, good kitchen with all equipment. The rooftop terrace, laundry facilities there. Relatively near the bus stop one takes to and from Dali railway station, about 10 minutes walk.

GGuest UserThe location is pretty good, at the north gate of Dali Ancient City, near the vegetable market. The kitchen in the store is available for use, which is ideal for people who like to cook their own meals.
There is also a stove in the store, so you can warm up by the fire when it's cold, and grill meat, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. You can also call friends to drink together and chat around the stove. This is very lifelike.

Very Good
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.
