I booked a bed in a 4-female dorm in July 2025. When checking in, they even upgraded my room to a double room shared with another female guest (of course they asked if I want that) and the room was amazing. It was very clean, beds were comfy and it even came with towels, Shampoo, shower gel,... Regarding the staff, they are able to speak chinese and English as far as I experienced and the are super friendly. Totally recommend staying there. The hostel has a beautiful and nice common area to play games, even play station or Computer games, but also has a nice terrasse to chill on. The location itself is also fantastic. It's a short strall away to the old ancient town which is beautiful to discover.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It's clean, spacious and has a nice heritage interior. The owner, Sam and the staff were absolutely lovely. They are so warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. They went out of their way to accommodate all our requests, which made us feel really well taken care of. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast—the rice noodle soup was delicious and comforting, a perfect start to the cool day. Too bad our room doesn't face the sea due to the 3-pax room, but hopefully we will visit the next round and take the seaview room. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay with great service and a personal touch!

Great value for the best view in Dali. Also love the host family being very helpful and gave many great advices. We had listened to their advice on activities and restaurants and nothing disappointing. The room is beautiful, well designed, with a terrace and a garden with the lake view. Quite comparable to other design hotels. My son and I also get to practice guitar and ukelele. The view from rooftop terrace is unmatchable and pictures taken there have been well published in various newspapers.

Perfect. Quiet and peaceful in the middle of bustling Dali Ancient Town. Room was nicer than most apartments! Contained within a courtyard wall are small outdoor seating areas and a rooftop laundry room. Close to North Gate, this place is a perfect base for exploring all of Ancient City as well as trekking further afield to Chongshen Si and San Ta (about half an hour walk). Scores of restaurants within seconds of walking out of the alley. Staff is exceptionally warm and helpful. The manager has tons of advice for exploring Dali as well as nearby environs.
