We enjoyed our stay here. It feels like a very well maintained place and everyone knows what to do. The staff brought our bags to room when we check-in and check out. The location was good and easy to find, to take cab also close by to main road. We booked this place because of its location, traditional building design and pricing. We enjoyed our room although sometimes we could hear neighbours firecrackers and electric bike sounds, but it wasn't a very big issue for us, seen as part of the culture. We particularly like the freebies that came with our booking and also the water bottle refill machine with normal and hot water setting. When we left, the lady boss spotted the door wasn't opening smoothly and immediately noticed the staff to check on it. It makes guest feel taken care of and priority.

This is one of the best and friendly hotels I have stayed so far. The front desk, and especially, the hotel restaurant staffs are exceptional helpful and polite. Location of the hotel is strategic too. Inside the ancient city but not in the heart where it can be very noisy. This place is quiet.
Although there are many good restaurants within the ancient city, but I must say, their restaurants food and environment are the best. We had 2 dinners and 1 lunch at their restaurant, no regrets.

”Pure Heart”, pretending to be simple as ”style”, I have been on a business trip to Dali and always stayed in this hotel. The boss is polite and enthusiastic. The parking lot is convenient, the snack ”Donkey Meat Fire Roast” on the left, and the restaurant ”Tong Ladle Beef” on the back street are all good choices. It is a beautiful day with a sunny sky. As a gold medal review, it has always been a fair evaluation.

Thank you so much for the best hospitality! Great and kind owner. She is so friendly and patiently waiting for me to translate the conversation. The lady also has a great personality. To all Malaysian who might see my review and don't know Chinese, this lady has no issue with it. This Inn is a really high recommendation since the distance with the main road to the hotel (Easy to get Didi), distance to ancient town, and distance to Erhai Lake are so close (by electric bike)! The owner helped me to rent an electric bike at ¥50 for a few hours (I'm not sure how long I forgot to ask) - electric bike no need helmet, no need license! (🎶Ride or die - Jeff Satur)

The hotel is located in the center of the ancient city. It is very convenient to visit the ancient city during the day and night. It is very close to the ”Wuhuaxuan”. It is about the same distance from the ancient city to the ”South Gate”, ”North Gate” (Three Tower Gate), ”Cangshan Gate” (West Gate), and ”Bohai Gate” (East Gate). It is also convenient to travel around Bohai Sea, and it is only a few minutes away from the taxi point. (Vehicles are not allowed in the ancient city).
The front desk service of the hotel was very warm, especially praised ”Xiao Yang”, Yang Xiaomei. Since the temperature changed a lot in the past few days, Xiao Yang let us pay attention to the weather when traveling and how to deal with the climate in recent days. It helped me a lot for my trip. In this review: Thank you Yang Xiaomei.

SSam AussiOur stay at this mini hotel near Erhai Lake was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The hospitality was outstanding, with the owner and their friends and family creating a beautiful evening gathering that we will never forget. The delicious noodles, fruits and the morning Pu'er tea were delightful touches that added to the overall experience.
The hotel itself is new and beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with the rich traditions of a courtyard setting. The rooms were immaculate, superbly clean, and very comfortable, equipped with everything a traveler could need. They even helped us park our car nearby, which was very convenient.
The star of it all was the wonderful lady owner. She was always ready to jump up and help with whatever we needed. We don't speak Chinese, but communication was easy using online translation. In the morning owner took us for a walk near Erhai Lake, which was a memorable highlight of our stay.
The location of the hotel is perfect, situated between the rice fields and the lake shore, just a one-minute walk to the boardwalk along the lake. We left feeling amazed and recharged, and we sincerely hope that our travels will bring us back to this wonderful hotel near Dali ancient city again.

SSiu QuanWe rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages.
However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang.
After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!

HHui Yi (慧怡)I am sooo happy with my stay. Their service was probably the best out of every hotel I’ve stayed in. The owner was very very helpful. He was also really open to sharing where to go and tips to get around. Location wise, it’s a bit further from the main attraction but you get a quiet stay away from the bustling street which is also within walking distance. Walking around gave me a chance to appreciate the town a little more. Veryyyyy clean, owner checks in with you if you’d like your room to be cleaned via WeChat. Overall, it’s a warm little stay operated by a family~ will definitely be going back again!

WWiing LiuAmazing view! Direct sunset view!
We stayed one night in August (Summer).
Pillow, blanket and bed were comfortable.
Toilet was humble.
Very kind and hard working hotel owner (well dressed and handsome too). He was very communicative, we added him on WeChat and he gave us detailed instructions and picked us up at the fork road, carried our luggages and walked us to the accommodation.
The accommodation is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main road where cars are allowed to drop off. We had huge and heavy luggage. We are extremely grateful that the owner lugged our luggage to the accommodation under the hot sun for us. He upgraded our room, and helped us to book a reliable driver to lijiang. He gave us tips on where to have breakfast and rent buggy. He also helped to liaise with the driver and carried our luggage to the car!!! It's 34 degrees Celsius here at the moment. We are so so grateful. Wishing the owner great success!
Recommendation:
1. Stay on the second floor onwards (less noisy and able to see the lake better)
2. Explore the track before the sun rises above the mountain (ard 6am). Walk 700m left of accommodation to book your vehicle. This will ensure you have enough vehicles to choose from, less crowded, avoid extreme UV, cooling weather, and get to Xin di cafe at a good time for breakfast!
3. Night time order meituan to accommodation so you can enjoy the view and eat at the comfort of your place. Couldn't find good and reliable restaurants around the area.
4. Manage expectations, there are bugs near the lake. Close the window at night.

RRichard LoriaThe best hostel experience I’ve had in years!!!
Dali Ankangyu Homestay was a truly fantastic experience. The hostel itself is gorgeous, the location is fantastic (still in the old town but on a calmer street), and the room was just what I wanted. But what stands out for me is the people who run the hostel. I’ve stayed at many a hostel and have never met staff as wonderful as they are at Dali Ankangyu Homestay. They repeatedly went above and beyond to solve my problems and to make me feel welcome, comfortable and at ease…
First, I arrived in the middle of the Chinese New Year and they promptly invited me to dine with them over a TRULY delicious meal. Later, I wanted to extend my stay and had an issue with my booking—one that they promptly helped me to resolve. Finally, after I incorrectly booked a train ticket they helped me resolve my transportation issues in the middle of the night. Wow, talk about above and beyond. They are a great crew, fun-loving, welcoming, and very much a family in their own right, and I would have loved to hang out with these guys more!
Dali Ankangyu Homestay is one that I’ll definitely be returning to, and one that I’d easily recommend to anyone rolling through Dali. Thanks Dali Ankangyu Homestay for all your help along the way. Hoping to see you all soon!

The place has washing machines to use, space to dry clothes, nice veranda and one yeard.

Hosting
Friendly and smiley. Took up bags without asking. Answer questions over wechat. Even the other guests were friendly! Usually Chinese visitors don't really speak to me (which is fine of course), but the girls I shared a room with even asked me to dinner with them and shared food
Location
The pictures they have down for the exterior, it's actually to the left of that. walking distance to the ancient village and chongsheng temple. easy trips to the lake.
Amenities
Fridge, washing machine, hair dryer, shoe dryer, toiletries, kitchen area etc. all included. There's like a communal courtyard area as well and I believe you can eat there too but you need to book it the day before by a certain time.
Bathroom
Sit down toilet. Shower. Toiletries. Looks a bit shabby at first glance but the shower toilet and sink are all working and very clean
Room
Lovely thick mattress (I've found they are usually quite thin in Chinese hostels so this was a nice surprise). Heater if needed. I'm not entirely sure how the lock on the door is supposed to be done.
Overall great atmosphere. The pictures look a little bit rough around the edges but its honestly fine and i think I could stay here a while

EedwinckkThe location is superb, a short walk away from the walking street, just about 100m away from a hot cuppa latte and clean sheets, bathroom, friendly hosts. There is a nice chillout area/lounge where you and your friends can sit down for a meal, have a drink, etc. The young lady managing this place(Liu Shaoxia) likes to cook and she shared meals with me and the cleaner, so I felt really at home. There was a language barrier but we used WeChat to converse and translate. She can show you where to rent an electric scooter, provide information on your itinerary, recommend places of interest, etc. I informed her I wanted to rent an electric scooter and ride to Erhai Lake but she informed me that is not allowed on the highway so thankfully, I got the information on time and prevented myself from breaking the law due to ignorance. I do not speak, read or understand Mandarin. The inn's internet connection was stable and fast, but blocked by the Great Firewall of China so I was still unable to use Google-affiliated services. There is hot water shower and air conditioning, mineral water bottles, tissues and toilet paper are provided. If I come back to Dali, I will stay here again. Overall, a really good experience of a warm and inviting abode.

GGuest UserThe hotel is just 3 km from Dali Railway Station.If you are using the train,this hotel is one of the best options. I booked a room facing the lake. The view is awesome. There is a lift. The room and toilet are clean. There are basic amenities like body shower, toothbrush,hair shampoo,comb, mineral water,kettle and tv provided.
I get free breakfast. They serve plain porridge with condiments, boiled egg,steam corn and sweet potatoes,bread and buns,fresh fruits and warm soy milk.The food is yummy and delicious.
Didi is available all the time and easy to assess from the hotel.You may also be greeted by fresh fruit sellers outside the hotel.We do buy some fresh grapes.
The hotel reception Ms Xiao Yang is very friendly and helpful.She helped to book Didi to Muslim restaurant for us.We also asked her for help to order a packed lunch because it was raining and we couldn't get out. Despite her work shift ending,she still waited for us to make sure we were safely back to the railway station. I hope her boss will recognise the hospitality she showed.
I recommend this hotel to tourists. You will not hear the noise outside the hotel during your stay.
Hopefully the management can put the hotel name signboard in english so it is easier for tourists to book Didi. Overall I was satisfied with the room and the warm hospitality the hotel provides.
Thank you so much Ms Xiao Yang for your endless help.
