• It’s not the newer type of hostel with private pods or Western-style toilets, but for the price, it’s more than worth it. I also met some lovely people here. • You have to do your own bed which was fine for me. • The location is very convenient and easy to get around from. • The owner or staff (a man wearing a beanie) is very kind and helpful. • There’s a sweet communal space—it’s nicely decorated, even though not many people were around during my stay. I stayed here because I had no other option—it was a last-minute booking during the Labor Day holiday season in China. I was a bit worried, but the place turned out to be great!

Good hostel with friendly and helpful staff. Mattres is a little hard. Room is warm. Sheets are clean but blanket itself had yellow stains. Good hot shower. Unfortunatelly somebody smokes in the shower.

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.

Very quiet place, there is a very comfortable platform on the fourth floor, the sheets are very clean, and the boss is also very nice! Next time I come to Dali, I will choose here again!

The environment is good and the location is easy to find. It is close to the ancient city. There is also a washing machine and a place to dry clothes. It is more suitable for long-term stay

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.
