Perfect
GGuest UserThis time I stayed at Da Bing's cabin in Youth Park and had a great experience! The location is excellent, the surrounding transportation is convenient and the scenery is pleasant. The hostel has a warm atmosphere and is as comfortable as home. The room is clean and tidy, with complete facilities, comfortable bedding and a very peaceful sleep. The public areas are thoughtfully decorated, making it easy to make friends. The boss is hospitable and provides a lot of practical travel suggestions. Here, I not only had a comfortable stay, but also gained unforgettable memories. The price-performance ratio is very high, highly recommended to all hikers! Moreover, you can directly see Erhai Lake from the third floor, which is especially suitable for watching sunrise and sunset!

__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!

GGuest UserThe room was very clean and well-equipped, and the bed linen and duvet covers all smelled lovely. The location is very convenient for getting around; the hotel offers electric scooter rentals, and there are car rental agencies and bus stops just a few hundred meters away. It's also very close to Yincang Road and Pingdeng Road, which have many interesting small shops. If you're looking for morning coffee, evening drinks, or independent bookstores, they're all within walking distance. The hotel has spacious common areas; the lobby on the first floor has a great atmosphere for socializing, while the second floor is perfect for studying (and there are cute cats to pet!).

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 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

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.

GGuest UserA 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.

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.
