a bit more variety at breakfast would make this hotel perfect

The place is beautiful, very calm and convenient. The staff is very nice and helpful. I recommend it for any number of days in Dali.

Sound insulation. Especially when the guest above walk, the ceiling will creak. Facility is abit old, the shower door couldnt close fully, there is a gap in the seal which causes water to splash out even though the shower door is close. Water temperature is not consistent.

Location was great. Staff was super welcoming and warming. Spotted 2 cats in the area to my wife delight

The rustic look and feel of ancient Chinese house with a courtyard. Nice renovation with modern convenience that retained the ancient look. Very friendly and accommodation and staff, plus a room dedicated to display Chinese culture - where one can learn calligraphy and guqin (a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument).

The place is in the heart of the old town, in a small alley where it’s quiet and there’s no traffic or street stalls to bother you. The room was really beautiful, in traditional Chinese style, and had everything we needed — including a bathtub and heated floor. The staff was very nice. We had a bit of trouble asking for a taxi because only one woman spoke good English.

Beautiful historical courtyard boutique hotel. Unfortunately it takes some time to be reached after a car drops you off in the old city. The selection of breakfast is not that wide

Everything about this place is awesome, location, staff, support and facilities. An old building with most original architectural appeal with modern touch.

Steep stairs may not be suitable for older guests who are less mobile.

Extremely quaint setting, very close to all the action, yet modern and comfortable.

Old town does not allowed vehicles in, a fair bit of walking to the main street to get public transport e.g. taxi.

Staff was friendly, extremely helpful and patient. Location in the middle of old town, lots of restaurants, shops, etc. We loved living in an historical preserved courtyard house. Breakfast was ok, local warm cooked food as well as bread. Local coffee was very good.

Location is excellent as it is in the center of the Old Town. The hotel is quiet and full of history inside over 200 years old. Staff are very helpful. They can pick up your luggage with trolley at the closest entrance of the Old Town since cars are prohibited to drive in the town. Breakfast are delicious especially the rice noodles soup. By staying there, I feel like I am going back to 200 years ago.

Perfect stay, beautiful hotel in the center for a relaxed romantic stay. restaurants and markets in walking distance. ideal location to experience dali old town

The room was on the smaller side of others we experienced in Yunnan. The corridor to the hotel was inundated with photographers and their subjects so we regularly had to wait to come in or out (or face the wrath of the photographers!). Not the hotel's fault but a little inconvenient. That said, it also backs up the great location!

Great location, really near to the best streets in Dali. Very traditional appearance (great for photos!) and friendly staff (although English not spoken at all times), good breakfast room, and communal sitting areas (inside and out).

Excellent location. Very friendly efficient and helpful staff. They're like friends.

Too many mosquitoes. Lower floor has plumbing problem. No AC. Too hot under the roof. Breakfast too basic. Not worth more than 100$ a night per room including the suite.

Location great, pedestrian inside the old town. Staff is nice and accommodating. Good for pix but comfort is not top.

We loved everything about this place! The location is very convenient and yet quiet. The courtyard is so peaceful and beautifully decorated in traditional Yunnan style. Their breakfast is delicious, it was the best on our whole trip! The staff was so friendly and also extremely helpful when we had an unexpected problem on our journey, we will forever be grateful for that! We absolutely recommend this place!

It is a gorgeous hotel built, stay a few nights in history, in the center of the ancient village, an easy stroll to many great sites and eateries.

unfortunately the room smelled really badly - i believe it is because of the toilet ..

the property is lovely and well located. An old historic house in the center of dali

The wood windows can’t be tightly shut, so bring mosquito repellant. (Host provides electronic diffusers and a bed canopy.)

The hosts were very friendly and helpful and accommodated our dietary requests. The property was situated on a quiet alley, right in the heart of the ancient city of Dali. The rooms were clean and comfortable and modern, while retaining the traditional style. Outdoor courtyard with a fish pond was beautiful.

Very convenient location right in the middle of the old town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lady owner also make a delicious noodle soup for breakfast

Although the location is quiet, the sound-proofing of the rooms is not perfect and we were woken up in the morning (6-7 AM) by loud noises from other people in the area sometimes. If you're a light sleeper and want to sleep in, ear-plugs would be a good idea.

The historic courtyard was beautiful and in a relatively quiet spot, and the room was quite comfortable with very modern restroom facilities. The owner was also very hospitable, helping us carry luggage up the stairs and also connected us to a driver to get to our next hotel in Lijiang. Breakfast was tasty and had quite a few options available, we particularly liked the rice noodles.

The bathroom. Well, the set-up + fitting is model and functional but wall+door in between the room and bathroom are transparent glasses. Not only this property, but a few properties in Yunan have bathrooms with such interior design that my sister and myself :( . It is not the interior design, other than that it is 5 5-star bathroom.

The Location is great because it is within the heart of the old town but bear in mind that car drop off is not possible, you need to walk quite a distance with your luggage should you have a big case like us. However, the property keeper assisted us in transporting our luggage upon our arrival around 10 pm. I wish to stay more days like 5 nights instead of 2 nights.
