Atour X Hotel Dali Xiaguan Taiye International Plaza

My family absolutely loved this hotel, all because of the breakfast! I feel like this Atour has the best breakfast I've ever seen. They even have freshly made tofu pudding, and the soy milk tasted like rich, freshly ground soy milk. This is also the first time I've encountered complimentary small bottled water by the elevators – such a thoughtful touch! From now on, whenever I'm back in Dali, I'm only staying here.

Great service and a lovely environment. Reasonable requests are quickly addressed. The front desk staff are excellent, very efficient, and knowledgeable. I'll definitely choose Atour again next time. The facilities are also top-notch.

Honestly, this was the worst Atour I've ever stayed at. All the other Atours I've been to were really satisfying. Not only was the room tiny, but it also had a window that didn't face outside, so it felt like I was in a basement. The service was just okay too. Even a Vienna Hotel would be better than this... This is the worst place I've stayed at for this price point...

I was heading to Shaxi the next day, so for easy bus access, I chose Atour, which is not far from the bus station. Bus route 5 takes you straight there. The front desk staff was very welcoming and gave me a complimentary room upgrade. The bedding was up to Atour's usual standard: very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, and there was plenty of hot water. Breakfast on weekends goes until 11 AM, which is a really nice touch. They offered Dali's specialty rice noodles (er si) and douhua (tofu pudding), where you could adjust the sweet and savory flavors yourself. There's a shopping mall downstairs, making dining very convenient. It's much better value for money than staying in the old town.

This stay far exceeded my expectations! The hotel's location is superb, within easy walking distance to the metro station and major attractions. The front desk staff were warm and professional, completing check-in quickly and even proactively upgrading my room. The room design was modern, clean, and tidy, with comfortable bedding that ensured a good night's sleep. The soundproofing was excellent; I wasn't bothered by any street noise at all. The breakfast offered a wide variety, and the local specialties were very authentic. Most importantly, it offered great value for money. Next time I visit this city, I will definitely choose to stay here again and recommend it to my friends.
