Diqing Museum

The staff were great and very friendly. For that price you can not go wrong. The location is great as well.

This beautiful little hotel is built around a small courtyard that gives the feeling of a traditional Chinese home, with beautiful old woodwork and lattice bannisters and windows. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, and the bathroom is large, with a self-flushing toilet. While the building is not soundproof, it is quiet at night. The ‘extras’ in this hotel include a nice deck for guests to sit and enjoy the wonderful container-garden with flowers and succulents. There is also a washing machine and racks, so travellers can wash their clothes without extra cost. The host is extremely helpful and offers free pickup from train station or airport as well as drop-off. Breakfast vouchers are for a Chinese buffet a few meters down the road; (another hotel cafe across the street offers espresso coffees.) Note: the Expedia map is a bit ‘off’: this hotel is located within the Ancient City, which is car-free, so luggage must be walked or rolled across old cobble stones for quite a distance, but the host is very helpful with this.

Great hotel at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it.
