After searching around, I finally chose this hotel. Really recommend. Firstly, room was as described. We had the two bed and the host helped with luggage. Much appreciated. Spacious and comfortable. Host was very helpful. I needed some sewing services, contacted her late at night and she recommended an excellent seamstress. When informed we ran out of shower soap, she gave us a whole new good quality set. Host helped to arrange transfer to Lijiang and even personally took and waited with us for the coach in the rain. Location of this hotel is great. Food everywhere. It is set back in a small alley so is quiet at night. Minutes walk away from Dali ancient city with gate. Right opposite the fruit market. Room also has a big TV screen and powerful air conditioner. The hot water is immediate and the shower is powerful. There is laundry facilities too. Thank you very much to the host for making our first trip to Dali memorable.

Location was great with many food stores right outside the inn. Despite being close to the food stores it was quiet enough for us to get comfortable sleep without being disturbed from the streets. Lady boss is also very friendly, helpful and provided great hospitality, constantly checking if we have our needs all being supplied and even took the extra mile to bring in our clothings as we were out and it was going to rain. Wouldn’t do Dali any differently and would pick this Inn over and over again.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Dali Jinze Xiaoyuan Inn (Dali Ancient City South Gate), and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The inn’s location is ideal—just a short 5-minute walk from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, making it extremely convenient for exploring the bustling pedestrian streets and local attractions. Despite being so close to the heart of the city, the inn offers a peaceful and quiet retreat.
The rooms were modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. I particularly appreciated the intelligent features like the automatic heated toilets, blackout curtains, and sensor night lights. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic, and there was always plenty of hot water, temperature is just right which added to the comfort after a long day of sightseeing.
What really made the stay exceptional was the hospitality of the host and staff. They went above and beyond to ensure my trip was memorable, offering valuable tips on local attractions, dining options, and even helping with transportation arrangements. Their warm and friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I’ll never forget the relaxing evening spent chatting with the host over a cup of Chinese tea.
The inn is also close to a charming vegetable market and a street filled with delicious local food options, which made dining out and picking up fresh produce incredibly easy.
Overall, Dali Jinze Xiaoyuan Inn is the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and outstanding service from the host Xiao Liang.

We love the spacious room and smart room system. Everything was great about the stay. They borrowed us a scooter for us to travel around Dali. We faced some issues with the scooter and then went above and beyond to help us with it, making sure that everything went well. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a place to stay in Dali!

Disappointed with this homestay as we reached quite late at night be informed that the room type we booked not available as the guest last night extended, we been changed to another SAME PRICE of room which for us are not same as the one we booked is bigger & come with tatami tea area, the one we got is smaller seems to be DOWNGRADED. We back to the room after meal saw there is new guest checking in for the room that we booked...
Response from Property: Dear "Jinze Xiaoyuan" family ~ I'm sorry for giving you a bad experience! We will also make improvements in the future so that every family member who lives in the store will have a good memory. We will also try our best to make every family member who lives in "Jinze Courtyard" have a satisfactory journey. , and try our best to give family members living in the store a high-quality experience when changing rooms or upgrading room types. Because other guests stayed for a long time, the room upgrade for you on the day of your check-in was only after discussion with you after you arrived and with your consent. The price, area and bed size of the rooms are the same, but there is a slight difference in the layout of the rooms. But it is a pity that we cannot get your understanding. You should raise and communicate with us in time when you are in the store, so that we will solve the problem for you as soon as possible. You can only comment after checking out. Tell us your thoughts and dissatisfaction here, which makes us very passive and unable to solve the problem for you. We really apologize. I hope to give the store another chance to make up for you in the future! Our courtyard is located at the south gate of Dali Ancient City, surrounded by delicious food and the Nanmen Internet celebrity vegetable market. It only takes 5 minutes to walk from the courtyard to the south gate, and the transportation is also very convenient! The room is smart, with blackout curtains, clean and hygienic, and the bedding is comfortable. The courtyard has 2-meter large bed rooms, standard rooms, parent-child rooms and two-bedroom and one-living suites for you to choose from. Thank you again for choosing our "Jinze Courtyard". I wish you a pleasant journey and all the best!

This is a clean and quiet mini hotel a short walk from the ancient city gates. There are heaps of great restaurants everywhere and even great coffee. There is a fresh food market across the road.
The host was very kind and clear about everything, we communicated through wechat which was convenient, she was super responsive. The room was spacious and clean and easy to access 24hrs with a key card.
Basically, the accommodation was perfect for my stay in Dali 😊💚
