9.9/10
Perfect
MM482412****Facilities: The facilities are complete. You can eat, drink and have fun in the yard without having to go out. The restaurant is amazing! ! ! As soon as the dishes were served, people started to eat them with relish. No wonder it is called Taotietang. Not inferior to any restaurant outside.
Hygiene: Disposable bedding! ! ! There is a cleaning lady every day, it is very clean and comfortable.
Environment: The yard is huge. You can watch the sunrise and sunset and enjoy life in the youth hostel. The bed is super comfortable and it is very private.
Service: The staff are very enthusiastic and will recommend fun places in Dali. You can listen to music and have a drink in the courtyard at night. Many activities will also be organized to maximize the experience.
I really don't want to leave. Can you offer an annual pass package? ! !

GGuest UserThe hotel is relatively clean, with a dedicated cleaning lady, but the bathroom and shower are unisex.
There are quite a few common areas.
The front desk staff were a bit hard to find, perhaps because they were busy. Phone calls and WeChat messages were rarely answered, and there were more long-term guests.
The location is relatively quiet, but the soundproofing isn't very good. During my stay, it wasn't usually quiet until after 2 a.m.

GGuest UserI‘m very happy with my experience here, the bed was extremely comfortable, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The host were extremely kind and helpful and they had a very sweet dog!
They only speak Chinese, so if you don‘t speak Chinese I would recommend having a translator app close by.

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 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

AAnonymous UserAround 10min walk from railway station to the hotel. The host is lovely and she allows us for an early check in. The room size is quite small for 4 ppl but we stay here for 1 night so it’s acceptable with price and location. The location is perfect, few minute walk to bus station no.4 and you can just take this bus all the way to three pagoda, or Dali old town. From Dali old town, you can also take didi to the famous lake. Dali old town is very happening at night.

110wangeVshenmeAs a car owner from Jiangsu, I come to Dali for a period every year. I've been to all the popular spots; now I just come to Dali to stay, live, and relax. I've stayed at Chaoge and Lili, but I most frequently choose Taoxi.
Chaoge has the best accommodation environment among the three, no exaggeration. However, a lot of people drink there, mostly older guys like me, so if you enjoy drinking, Chaoge is a good choice. Lili has the best atmosphere; you can play board games and billiards, and parking is available on the hill. But Lili's only drawback is that it's too far from the old town, which makes dining inconvenient. So, I usually switch between Lili and Taoxi.
I've been on this trip for over two months now, and I've stayed at Taoxi for nearly 40 days. Taoxi is quiet, right by the old town, and has a great environment. I particularly like Taoxi's sunken public area. It's perfect for solo travelers. Plus, since the change of ownership, Taoxi's prices are now the lowest of the three. Previously, Chaoge, Taoxi, and Lili all cost around ¥65-68, but now Taoxi at ¥40 offers the best value for money.
So, for anyone looking for a hostel, consider Taoxi for both dining and accommodation. It's also incredibly convenient for eating out in the old town.

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.
