Watch out for all the dropping off’s. You can easily fall if not paying attention.

The hotel is a little bit away from the old city of Dali. It's in the end of a deep alley. It has two individual buildings which are not very far from each other. We booked a family room with two bunk beds. Surprisingly, they are quite comfortable through. Our room is not spacious and the bathroom is the smallest one we have never seen. Your shower head is basically right above your toilet seat. The mirror in the bathroom is like kid size as well. All in all, if you are on a budget, this is the place to stay. BTW, the hotel does offer a free breakfast daily.

Very helpful rectionist, comfortable rooms with excellent water pressure and ambience. Nice courtyard. Breakfast was very local and lacked variety

it was good

I cannot fault this hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Good and clean facilities. Excellent location.

Very frustrated. (1) The Inn could not located my hotels.com reservation. It seems to be some disconnect in the systems. (2) The room type "Holiday" I booked thru Hotels.com does not exist. (3) After 20 min of waiting and negotiating, they finally gave me a very last room available which was similar to what I booked. But the room is nowhere close to "323-sq-foot (30-sq-meter) room with garden views". (4) The bathroom has no partition for the shower area and the toilet. The bathroom (including the toilet and the floor) is all wet after shower. (5) The lighting in the room is very dim, (6) The TV program does not work (due to internet connection failed), (7) The in-room phone set is broken, I could not communicate with the front desk. Overall, it is bad experience.

Wifi is non existent, wasn't able to log in. Front desk person was very annoyed and rude bc we spoke English and she had to translate on her phone app. She didn't return our 100 yuan deposit until I asked for it. The hotel had a lot of history and set in a traditional setting with nice courtyard and rooftop view. Location is good if you like to stay in old town. Price is reasonable.

Very friendly staff but no english spoken. We lucked out as Matti, a hotel employee from Beijing, was working at the hotel for two of our days and was extremely helpful. Also a big thank you to Mr Jack, the transportation manager, who with the help of his phone with an English translation app, suggested and arranged and drove us to interesting places. A most enjoyable stay. A translation app would greatly enhance a trip to China.

Well located hotel near South Gate in Dali. Staff is very friendly & service oriented. The bed comfort was amazing.

Some rooms have better views, more modern and cleaner than others. Their hotel driver told me their breakfast buffet was very good. I tried it and it was not as good as he said.
