__WeChat244685****A very comfortable guesthouse. The owners were very welcoming; the owner was lovely, had a story to tell, and was very talkative. The whole family was very friendly and helpful, even helping with our luggage – thank you so much!! Actually, I wasn't really into the food in Dali this time, and was a little disappointed, but the owner recommended some nearby ”non-trendy” restaurants: Blueberry Fish and Ganggang Rice Noodles. They were within walking distance, delicious, and in a great location – right next to the March Street Market, and there's also a Lotus Root Shop nearby, which is great for browsing. It's also very convenient to walk to the Old Town. And!! Peach the dog is so cute! A chubby little dog, so adorable and easy to pet. He even got up later than us this morning, haha! Hope to see him again sometime!

The communal meals are delicious, and the hostel's location is great, making it convenient to go anywhere. The volunteers also organize outings together, which made for a really happy time. I'll definitely be back next time!

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 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

GGuest UserThis hostel is incredibly comfortable! The rooms are clean and quiet, with excellent privacy, making for a truly peaceful stay. The biggest surprise was the free washing machines, thoughtfully separated for men and women, which is incredibly convenient and friendly for female travelers! I also met some super interesting women here, and we hit it off immediately, which really warmed up my trip. It's fantastic value for money, I highly recommend it!

AAnonymous UserThere are tons of food stalls nearby, and a whole street outside is lined with car rental shops. The first one on the left after exiting is the cheapest, with no mandatory insurance fees. Earning money isn't easy, so I just wanted to travel on a budget. This place was the cheapest online, so the value is pretty good. Facilities: Hot water 👌 No air conditioning, but I guess it's not really necessary. Cleanliness: Clean, because there aren't many people staying here, and they're all very clean. Environment: Cozy and comfortable. Service: Good service; they even helped with my luggage. The bedding was clean, and the comforter felt very sturdy.

GGuest UserSaw that the hotel had plenty of parking, so I decided to check in spontaneously. My experience after staying here was pretty good. I had been driving all day and was quite tired, so I wanted to rest early. The front desk staff then reminded me that my car window wasn't closed. I'm very grateful for that; if they hadn't mentioned it, I might have suffered property loss. The staff were also very patient and told us about some fun attractions and great photo spots. Thumbs up!

Llume7This stay was an excellent experience, I have to give it a thumbs up! 👍 1. Location: Excellent location! A taxi ride from Dali Station goes directly to the door. It's very close to Erhai Lake and the Old Town, and there are plenty of snacks available even late at night. 2. Environment: I loved the overall decor of the hostel; it was warm and stylish. The common areas were spacious, with a sofa area and a reading area, perfect for chatting around a campfire or watching movies in the evening. The layout was reasonable, the beds were sturdy, and there were no creaking noises when I turned over. The blackout curtains on each bed provided excellent privacy. 3. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was reassuring. The sheets and duvet covers were all washed clean and smelled of sunshine. The public restrooms and showers were odorless, cleaned promptly, and kept dry. The shower water pressure was also very strong and comfortable. 4. Service: I must praise the front desk staff; their service was incredibly warm and welcoming! Check-in was quick, and the staff patiently explained nearby tourist routes and tips to avoid common tourist pitfalls. They were very accommodating and made me feel right at home. Next time I visit this city, this will definitely be my first choice!

Connected Youth Community

Price per night from:£5

8.8/10

GGuest UserFacilities: They provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair dryers, and slippers. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: There are many 'qingju' e-bikes nearby, and it's a short ride to the ancient city. It's close to Sanyue Street, where you can shop and find lots of snacks and fruits. There's a pub downstairs, but the sound insulation is good, so it's not noisy at night. Service: The owner let me check in early and upgraded me from a 6-bed dorm to a 4-bed dorm. I was worried about not having bed curtains or private space, but the 4-bed dorm also has bed curtains. They provide disposable bedding (sheets, duvet cover, pillowcase) which you put on yourself, so you don't have to worry about cleanliness. The owner also kindly offered me fruit, haha! My luggage was a bit heavy, and the owner helped me carry it upstairs. When I left, they even helped me carry it downstairs and load it into the car. Many thanks to the owners! I had a great time in Dali; the scenery is beautiful, and the people are warm and welcoming.

GGuest UserThis is the best place in Dali with no doubt! 10 min walk from the ancient city. Every night they have live shows beers and many guests who come to have fun in the shared hall. I think that the Bed is very comfortable, the mattress is thick and new. The staff that works there are kind joyful and welcoming people they helped me with everything I needed. And treat me very well
