Great place to stay in Dali

What a great place , staff was super helpfull and help us with a guide for a day (ask for Nancy she is the best). The hotel is clean and the rooms are big and comfortable. As Dali's old town is closed for cars please contact the hotel a day before you arrive so they can help you with the suitcases.

It was a very pleasant trip to this hotel. I got a pick up airport to hotel. The manager came to transport our luggages with a kind of motor tricycle because the hotel can not be access by car. You have to walk about 200 m to the hotel which is in the middle of old town.. Breakfast is good

The hotel is set in an ancient dwelling built around a courtyard. While our room retained its original ancient nature, it was clean and comfortable. The bathroom, on the other hand, was modern and there was no lacking hot water. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a quiet side street in the middle of the ancient city just off of the major pedestrian street of Remin Road with its many eateries, shops and bars. For folks not familiar with the ancient city, the hotel may be a challenge to find. But not to worry, the hotel staff will work with you to find your destination. My wife and I highly recommend this place.

it's as good as every traveller can expect. We enjoyed everything there. The only issue is it's location. It located in an old town where cars are not allowed, and the street number and sign are not obvious, so it took us a while to find the Inn.

The place has a lot of character with traditional Chinese styling with modern facilities added. I would not recommend this place to somebody whose mobility is limited. Many things to do in walking distance. It is in a no car zone, so a hired ride would be met a couple blocks away. It on a quiet side pedestrian street, but close to busy market areas. Many options for different types of Chinese cuisine at nearby restaurants and street vendors. No need for cash as every place will take Alipay, even street vendors. Friendly staff, but you will need to be patient using translation software if you do not speak Mandarin or write Chinese.

代理の古城内にある昔からの建物を利用したホテルです。とても雰囲気があり、また洗練された内装でとても気に入りました。ロケーションは南北に走るメインの通りと東西に走るメインの通りの交差するところから近くです。昔の建物をそのままリノベーションして使っているんですが、水回りとかもすごくきれいな感じで使えました。そして部屋もすごい広くて、豪華な感じで宿泊できます。ただもし窓がサッシでないと嫌だとか、玄関ドアが施錠式だとか、そういうことが気になる場合はここは向いていないかもしれないです。 また古城内にあるので、古城内を散歩するにはとても良いですが、古城内には車が侵入できないので、スーツケースを持って1番近くのピックアットポイントから8分程度歩いてさらに階段も荷物を持って上に上がらないといけないと言う事は留意しておいてください。タクシーも1番近いピックアップポイントまで来るとは限らないで、私の場合は南口で降ろされて。そこから15分近くスーツケースを持って歩きました。でもロケーションは便利でこんなに雰囲気も良くてスタッフの対応も良い。ここはほんとに今まで泊まった中でも最高位のランクです。

Een erg cosy plek om in het centrum van Dali te verblijven. Zeer goed verzorgd en uitermate vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Ligging op 100 meter van de drukte van de oude binnenstad, maar het hotel een oase van rust! Het vrijwel naastgelegen Chinese restaurant Chun Sheng is een absolute aanrader!

Little quaint place in the middle of everything

This wonderful little place is located in the middle of everything in Dali old town. Breakfast was always freshly made. The bed was so comfortable I had my best night sleeps here during my whole northern Yunnan trip. Two things to consider when staying here are the lack of insulation in the room (cold!), and proximity to a school (early morning noise).

six night stay with friends including teeenagers

The arrival involved a mix-up over reservations which hadn’t been logged properly by the hotel, but the staff made every effort after that to make it an excellent stay. Really beautiful old building, restored with good taste, a great location in a quiet back-street in a busy part of the old town. Clean and well-kept. Good breakfast with choice of Western or local food. Highly recommended.

Must visit! Beautiful historic buildings

Owners do their best to make the room warm in the winter, with modern facilities and (most importantly) without compromising the feeling of this beautiful historical building. The hotel picks us up in mid night and respond our msg instantly very good service. Great breakfast btw. 大理冬天确实有点儿冷 不过酒店已经尽其所能保障温暖了 房子很有格调 老板半夜一点来接我们很尽责 非要说哪里可以改进就是老宅偶尔有略微的反味 不过不是大问题 因为是古宅我们也理解
