__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 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 UserI was a little scared when I first got on the bus into the village, but after entering it exceeded my expectations! Being able to stay in a hotel with such facilities at this price next to the airport is really cost-effective.
It is a restaurant and accommodation integrated into one. Meals can be packed and sent upstairs to eat. I ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables, which were delicious.
The rooms are newly decorated, better than hotels in the city. TV, WiFi, air conditioning, bathroom all worked cleanly and in good condition. The shower is a piano-key four-speed shower, so comfortable! There was a little problem with the WiFi in the middle. They came to fix it right away after I called. It was much more efficient than other hotels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's super close to the airport, about ten minutes drive, and you can take me to the airport at around five in the morning, thank you 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Dali Airport Hotel (Dali Fengyi Airport Branch)
Hotel near Dali Airport, Dali City
Price per night from:TRY 708
9.1/10
Good
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.

GGuest UserSaw that the hotel had plenty of parking, so I decided to check in spontaneously. My experience after staying here was pretty good. I had been driving all day and was quite tired, so I wanted to rest early. The front desk staff then reminded me that my car window wasn't closed. I'm very grateful for that; if they hadn't mentioned it, I might have suffered property loss. The staff were also very patient and told us about some fun attractions and great photo spots. Thumbs up!

BBluenoaThe staff are friendly and the location isn't far from Dali Ancient City. It's a wonderful place where guests can all gather together to eat and chat. If you're traveling alone or enjoy socializing and conversing with people, this hotel is perfect. In the evenings, there's true communication over a bonfire and beer. Everyone seems happy and full of energy. Thanks to them, I'm leaving with a lot of good vibes. I had planned to stay for two nights, but I finished sightseeing faster than expected and unfortunately changed accommodations to see the eastern side of Erhai Lake. If I come to Dali again, I definitely want to stay here once more.

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.

GGuest UserThe usual hostel is undergoing renovations at the moment, so the actual accommodation is around the corner. I was quite lost until I texted the 'late entrance' phone number by chance and the owners father found me.
There is no bar, pool table or restaurant currently accessible but I'm sure it will be great when it reopens.
The room was lovely but very cold with a big gap under the door and a hole the size of a postcard in the bathroom. I think a more updated profile to reflect current amenities would be beneficial.

GGuest UserThis is the best place in Dali with no doubt!
10 min walk from the ancient city.
Every night they have live shows beers and many guests who come to have fun in the shared hall.
I think that the Bed is very comfortable, the mattress is thick and new.
The staff that works there are kind joyful and welcoming people they helped me with everything I needed. And treat me very well
