"Traveling to Dali solo, I blindly picked iYe Youth Hostel and it was absolutely the right choice! The overall vibe is fresh and healing, with a courtyard full of Yunnan charm. You can see Cangshan Mountain just by looking up – the atmosphere is just perfect. The rooms are spotless, with ample storage space, and the bathroom is well-divided, making it very convenient to use. The common areas were a pleasant surprise. Whether it was relaxing in the afternoon or chatting with fellow travelers from all over the world and sharing travel stories in the evening, it felt incredibly comfortable. The owner is easygoing and knows all the best spots in Dali, giving out niche tips that helped me avoid many tourist traps. My stay here was relaxing and happy; not only was it comfortable, but I also met many interesting people. It was a truly warm stop on my Dali trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling alone!"

This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling alone.

"The location was good, and the bedding was cozy and nice. I appreciated being asked if I would like to have a meal together, but I was disappointed that I couldn't join because I was tired and had already eaten an early dinner before coming back. Although this is an issue with the manners of other guests rather than the accommodation itself, there was one person who spread their belongings everywhere as if it were a private room, even though it was a shared room; this made the room feel cramped, and the table and chairs were completely unusable. If a notice were posted like in other hostels stating, ”Please remove any personal items outside the bed,” I think the tables and chairs could be used for their intended purpose rather than being used as a storage space for one specific person's belongings."

"The location is a bit of a journey – after getting off at Dali Station, you take bus number 4 for about 40-50 minutes, and it's located across from Dali Ancient City. I found it easily using the Baidu app. Once you enter, there's a small garden, and the reception is in the middle of it. I chose the most comfortable and free-spirited bed, and right in front of it, you can exercise. There's a punching bag, a bike, and what looks like a stair climber. The toilet is in the room itself, but for the shower, you have to go to the main house, where there's also a washing machine (8 yuan). Aside from a slight strange smell from the bed's wall, the bed isn't uncomfortable at all, and there's an electric blanket, so it wasn't too cold at night. I decided to stay for another day. Oh, and the owner speaks English, so communication is not an issue."

"This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It’s conveniently located near Dali Ancient Town and has a very friendly atmosphere. It’s easy to form a group and hang out with your dorm mates. Most importantly, the boss’s cooking is the best in Dali. I’d even say it’s better than my mom’s!"

"The lady at the front desk and the manager Chu Huli are very friendly. They will give some travel suggestions to friends who come to Dali for the first time. The disposable items are very clean. The location is at the head of the village, three or four kilometers away from the Dali Ancient Town. It is very convenient to take a taxi"

"The 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."

__WeChat244685****A very comfortable guesthouse. The owners were very welcoming; the owner was lovely, had a story to tell, and was very talkative. The whole family was very friendly and helpful, even helping with our luggage – thank you so much!! Actually, I wasn't really into the food in Dali this time, and was a little disappointed, but the owner recommended some nearby ”non-trendy” restaurants: Blueberry Fish and Ganggang Rice Noodles. They were within walking distance, delicious, and in a great location – right next to the March Street Market, and there's also a Lotus Root Shop nearby, which is great for browsing. It's also very convenient to walk to the Old Town. And!! Peach the dog is so cute! A chubby little dog, so adorable and easy to pet. He even got up later than us this morning, haha! Hope to see him again sometime!

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 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

GGuest UserA comfortable stay, with helpful staff. Lots of young people who were generally friendly and helpful. I think there's a good community here. The smoke from the nightly campfire was unpleasant as our room faced the front yard. Thankfully we managed to close the windows. The hostel is set in a village just outside the old city - about 10 minutes walk, I think. Very conveniently located near the #8 bus route to the train station.

AAnonymous UserThere are tons of food stalls nearby, and a whole street outside is lined with car rental shops. The first one on the left after exiting is the cheapest, with no mandatory insurance fees. Earning money isn't easy, so I just wanted to travel on a budget. This place was the cheapest online, so the value is pretty good. Facilities: Hot water 👌 No air conditioning, but I guess it's not really necessary. Cleanliness: Clean, because there aren't many people staying here, and they're all very clean. Environment: Cozy and comfortable. Service: Good service; they even helped with my luggage. The bedding was clean, and the comforter felt very sturdy.

GGuest UserFacilities: They provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair dryers, and slippers. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: There are many 'qingju' e-bikes nearby, and it's a short ride to the ancient city. It's close to Sanyue Street, where you can shop and find lots of snacks and fruits. There's a pub downstairs, but the sound insulation is good, so it's not noisy at night. Service: The owner let me check in early and upgraded me from a 6-bed dorm to a 4-bed dorm. I was worried about not having bed curtains or private space, but the 4-bed dorm also has bed curtains. They provide disposable bedding (sheets, duvet cover, pillowcase) which you put on yourself, so you don't have to worry about cleanliness. The owner also kindly offered me fruit, haha! My luggage was a bit heavy, and the owner helped me carry it upstairs. When I left, they even helped me carry it downstairs and load it into the car. Many thanks to the owners! I had a great time in Dali; the scenery is beautiful, and the people are warm and welcoming.

The staff are very nice and checkin was super easy. I think the room price should be cheaper due to not providing towels or housekeeping. OK room for a quick night.
