"Great location, just next to the bus stop from the main Dali city. 5 min walk to the old town which was excellent as the old town was super busy and noisy so the guesthouse was out of the hustle and bustle. ¥7 for the washing machine and there’s plenty of places to dry clothes. We had a private room and bathroom which was quite spacious. The curtains were sheer in sections so it wasn’t 100% dark but it was still easy to sleep. There was lots of chill out sections; table tennis table, gym, yoga studio with mats, hammocks near a fish pond and an excellent rooftop patio with views of both the mountains and the old town. The manager was super helpful with everything. Assisted us with electric scooter rentals for ¥50 for the whole day."

"Good hostel but a bit pricey! Clean with good amenities such as free laundry, an area to hang clothes to dry, kitchen, roof top area, decent shower set up, free toiletries, and a cute cat! They don’t provide towels though and you have to have your key card in your bed to charge devices which is annoying. There is also no lounge area although you can hang out in the kitchen. The location was pretty good for access to Dali Old Town but it is a bit far away from all bus stops (15 min to public bus 4, 21 mins to bus 8, and half an hour to the tourist shuttle) which makes it annoying to get to if you have rolling luggage."

This is the Sunny International Youth Hostel.

"This hostel is located about 10 to 15 minutes walk from Dali Ancient City, but still offers convenient access to amenities. The surrounding area has plenty of local restaurants, bike rental shops and a nearby market. With a police station next door, safety is not a concern. I stayed in a dormitory room with an ensuite bathroom. The hostel staff and cleaners generally maintain the space well. However, cleanliness can quickly compromised due to inconsiderate guests. That said, I observed that the team consistently cleaned the facilities at regular intervals, so the issue wasn’t due to a lack of effort from the management. One highlight is the rooftop washing machine with complimentary detergent, which is such an excellent convenience for travelers. The front desk staff were helpful and approachable. They offered practical travel advice, such as recommendations for electric bike rentals and guidance on typical market prices. I found this especially useful for planning my days around Dali. The beds are comfortable and each comes with an individual locker and curtain, which gives me the personal space and security. The hostel also encourages a warm communal atmosphere. I appreciated the small gatherings in the lobby, such as casual singing sessions. There is also a WeChat group for guests to join occasional outings. Overall, I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. It’s a solid choice for travelers looking for a clean, friendly and sociable hostel experience in Dali."

"I started reading Da Bing's books in 2014 and longed for the life in the books. Finally, in 2024, I had the time and courage to come to Yunnan alone. I didn't plan to stay in Dali in the original itinerary. I wanted to stay for a month later. When I saw Da Bing's Youth Park, I decisively made a few days of itinerary. The service was very good in all aspects. It was worth the trip."

GGuest UserIt was a very pleasant stay. The atmosphere at CYC was fantastic, with separate work and activity areas where everyone could participate in various activities according to their interests. The community manager, Daoming, was also very attentive and professional, quickly resolving some initial accommodation issues. My stay was very comfortable for the next few days. We even had hot pot together and enjoyed music and singing – it was a wonderful time. There's also a garden nearby, which was less crowded and had a lovely environment. Overall, I highly recommend it! I'd love to come back again!

MM496466****The room was very clean and well-equipped, and the bed linen and duvet covers all smelled lovely. The location is very convenient for getting around; the hotel offers electric scooter rentals, and there are car rental agencies and bus stops just a few hundred meters away. It's also very close to Yincang Road and Pingdeng Road, which have many interesting small shops. If you're looking for morning coffee, evening drinks, or independent bookstores, they're all within walking distance. The hotel has spacious common areas; the lobby on the first floor has a great atmosphere for socializing, while the second floor is perfect for studying (and there are cute cats to pet!).

GGuest UserI was a little scared when I first got on the bus into the village, but after entering it exceeded my expectations! Being able to stay in a hotel with such facilities at this price next to the airport is really cost-effective. It is a restaurant and accommodation integrated into one. Meals can be packed and sent upstairs to eat. I ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables, which were delicious. The rooms are newly decorated, better than hotels in the city. TV, WiFi, air conditioning, bathroom all worked cleanly and in good condition. The shower is a piano-key four-speed shower, so comfortable! There was a little problem with the WiFi in the middle. They came to fix it right away after I called. It was much more efficient than other hotels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It's super close to the airport, about ten minutes drive, and you can take me to the airport at around five in the morning, thank you 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

AAnonymous UserAround 10min walk from railway station to the hotel. The host is lovely and she allows us for an early check in. The room size is quite small for 4 ppl but we stay here for 1 night so it’s acceptable with price and location. The location is perfect, few minute walk to bus station no.4 and you can just take this bus all the way to three pagoda, or Dali old town. From Dali old town, you can also take didi to the famous lake. Dali old town is very happening at night.

HHuhuyaThe beautiful things in Dali are not in the ancient city. I personally feel that Haidong is much more beautiful than Haixi, especially Santorini Utopia and Wenbi Village. However, the location of this store is still quite good, right in the Fenghuaxueyue Market. The boss's son recited Li Bai's poems, which he recited too late and the noise was also loud. The privacy of the room is not very good, just facing the main entrance of the inn, but the sanitation is still quite clean, and it is not a bunk bed but a single bed. The geographical location is still quite good, very close to those Renmin Streets and so on, very suitable for visiting the ancient city at night, but the prices in the ancient city are ridiculously high, you can only look and don't buy...

AAnonymous UserTraveling alone can be incredibly fun, especially with you all. Taoxi boasts a fantastic location near the North Gate of the old town, directly opposite Sanyue Street. Despite being close to these bustling areas, it's surprisingly quiet. I absolutely loved the huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering views of lush trees where little squirrels often play. The sunken area was our favorite spot; you could find a quiet corner to read or sit on cushions and play chess. At Taoxi, I met many like-minded travelers, and we often shared rides and meals. The owner is super nice, and the volunteer staff (both male and female) are incredibly interesting. I've even started to love lemonade with mint leaves. I'll definitely be back once everything settles down.

GGuest UserThe usual hostel is undergoing renovations at the moment, so the actual accommodation is around the corner. I was quite lost until I texted the 'late entrance' phone number by chance and the owners father found me. There is no bar, pool table or restaurant currently accessible but I'm sure it will be great when it reopens. The room was lovely but very cold with a big gap under the door and a hole the size of a postcard in the bathroom. I think a more updated profile to reflect current amenities would be beneficial.
