Dali li li wan xiang youth community hostel

It's located a little far off of everything, but they offer rental mopeds and even drive you to the ancient city at any time. Very helpful staff and great vibe.

Clean, good shower, nice vibe. 20 minutes from old town and there are rides available

Room and hostel generally clean and the receptionist speak little english. They communicate via WeChat. There is a shuttle bus service from the hostel to the fire station near Dali ancient city from 09:00- 24:00. There is a self laundry on the rooftop. The view from rooftop also 🤌🏻 ✨ They also offer small group tour package with affordable price. Cute cats and dogs. Minor: the location is a bit far from the old city and a bit isolated. If you want a comfortable stay, book a private room instead. Some of the guest scattered their make up and even cut their hair on the share sink and didn’t even clean it. For me, your personal item should be in your personal locker. So that other guests comfortable to use it after. Maybe the receptionist should emphasise it during checkin.

What can I say, I came for the 7 fluffy and beautiful cats 😻I wish I had more free time to cuddle them! Hostel is just outside the old town but with the free rides they offer it's not a problem. Easy access to one of the Cangshan cable cars, and to the bus going to the train station. The staff is helpful and they also offer tours. the mattress is too thin but that seems to be the case in many hotels in china

Cozy and nice place to stay in. Wonderful host and amazing place

This hostel is modern, trendy and comfortable. We had the room with bath and private balcony which was exceptional and had views over the mountain. Being British, we don't speak Chinese and the staff didn't speak much English, but were happy to help and gave us lots of useful advice through translate. The dogs are also amazing! Highly recommend for international travelers.
