A 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.

I really like the layout here, cats, and the food in the ancient town. There are also cherry blossoms in the ancient town. You can go to Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, and Dali University here. It is very convenient to go everywhere and the price-performance ratio is very high.

The transportation is very convenient. There are battery cars for rent nearby. It takes only two steps to reach Erhai Gate. There are so many delicious foods. The atmosphere in the store is very good. Everyone often gets together to eat, drink and have fun.

This price is a great value for money. I use it to store my luggage, rest and prepare for the ride.
The most surprising thing is that there are mother and baby cats in the hostel, they are very friendly and cute!

The atmosphere in the store is very good. I like the hollow design very much. On a sunny day, the whole house is filled with sunshine... When the small colored lights in the backyard are lit up at night, it is very beautiful, very romantic, and very warm ~
There are often various flowers planted inside the youth hostel~it’s very impressive
The boss is very nice. There are volunteers in the store most of the time. The volunteers I met were all very nice.
It is very suitable for a long stay. You can meet many interesting people here. I like this youth hostel very much and I also like Dali, a city with stories...

The store is very clean and the accommodation is very comfortable. The boss also organizes outings for everyone from time to time. Traveling alone will not be boring. There are also pets in the store

The room is cleaned every day and has a sense of design. The atmosphere of the youth hostel is warm. People who get together to talk and laugh are good friends. It is very suitable for traveling alone to find a companion. The store manager is also very nice, the service is very thoughtful, the volunteer brothers and sisters are also very friendly, and the kittens in the store are also very cute hahahaha! When necessary, you can also find the store manager to organize a group to check in the scenic spots. Xizhou Ancient Town and Shaxi Ancient Town are highly recommended. My friends must rush! ! This is a very unforgettable trip for me!
