"i stayed here for a visit with friends and was happy with it. the hotel is clean and comfortable with surprisingly large rooms. it's more of a group-tour hotel with lots of tour buses around - but good value for a comfortable room located near some of the major sights in Dali. The breakfast was very good. I'd recommend it for someone who wants affordable comfort while exploring Dali."

"Extremely local chinese hotel. English speaking staff were far and few. Staff all hesitant and not confident to deal with foreigners so the communication was a struggle. But everyone was nice and polite. The common areas are not well maintained (i.e. lobby) so if you are looking for an upscale experience this is not your place. Most importantly the operations and management of the place is very poor. Everyone was all over the place. It was a mess. The team couldn’t manage the guests and it...

10/10 Excellent

It was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations. The hotel is located at a very tranquil and picturesque part of Lijiang, and has a lot of character. The family room we stayed in was tastefully furnished and everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided for. The factor which made this stay stood out for us was the service. The hotel owners were extremely warm, helpful and gracious, and treated us like family guests. We enjoyed the conversations with them about family,...
