Dali Old City Sushe Boutique Inn (Dali Old City Pedestrian Street Store)

First off, the owners of this boutique inn really go above and beyond for their customers. They are some of the nicest people we've met in China and our kids loved them. They were always available to talk to, to help us and to suggest activities. They even helped with our luggage from the street. The breakfast was traditional Chinese style and was different every day. They also gave a plate of fried eggs every day and they were cooked spectacularly. My words can't do they justice to how delicious they were 🤣 The millet porridge and youtiao were also very good. There was more than enough for a hearty and decent breakfast! The grounds of the inn are beautiful, proper ancient style and it is very nice to relax by the fish pond at night with a glass of wine or a bottle of Dali beer (a very kind gift). The roof top offers seating and excellent mountain and town views and it's a good place to sit with your own thoughts and take in some mountain air! There is a washing machine and washing lines to do laundry as well as indoor and outdoor seating on each floor of the inn. It's a small and cosy building but you never feel like you don't have your own space. Because it is an old inn, the soundproofing is not the best, but this is to be expected as we didn't book a traditional hotel. As long as you have considerate neighbours, the poor soundproofing is not an issue and can add to the charm of the place. Water bottles are provided whenever you need them, which is very convenient and welcome. We were also able to borrow the e-bikes so we could explore the local area and the lake at our own leisure. This was a fantastic addition to the stay and it gave us some precious memories and photographs from places which would otherwise be unreachable. The location in proximity to the ancient city is fantastic. It is a minute walk to part of Dali ancient street, but

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. They kindly upgraded us to a larger room, helped us carry our luggage, and the housekeeping service was excellent throughout our stay. One of the things we loved most was the relaxing atmosphere. There are beautiful seating areas throughout the property, including a lovely rooftop seating area with a wonderful view. The hotel also has a laundry room on the second floor, which was very convenient. As Muslim travelers, we found the breakfast to be a good option. It included eggs, coffee, tea, regular bread, fried bread, and fresh vegetables, which worked well for us. The location is excellent. Everything is within walking distance, including a supermarket, a fantastic bakery, and a beautiful café. The hotel owner is exceptionally kind, elegant, and genuinely cares about her guests. She was always happy to help with anything we needed, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We also received a free pick-up service from the train station because we booked a stay of three nights, which was a thoughtful bonus. We would definitely stay here again without any hesitation and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dali.

The owner was so welcoming and nice. Very homely inn. Great location and room. Everything was excellent!

We stayed with Sister An at Dali Old City Sushe Boutique Inn for 4 nights. Her comfortable inn offered a fantastic mix of home and resort, providing a relaxing retreat after the busyness and urbanity of Kunming. Our 6-year-old daughter absolutely loved the property. The fish in the central pool, the cozy coffee shop lobby, the swinging pavilion across the glass bridge, and the upstairs mountain view deck kept her thoroughly entertained. Sister An’s inn was just perfect. Every morning started with a wonderful breakfast of eggs, tea eggs, free-flow coffee and tea, a variety of buns, millet porridge, and pickles. Furthermore, Sister An provided timely advice on transport, sightseeing, and local holidays. From the moment we booked a few days before our arrival, Sister An maintained constant communication via WeChat and a translation app to coordinate our arrival time. She even sent a complimentary driver to pick us up at the train station, which sat about a 30-minute drive from the hotel's central location in Dali Old Town. She also responded within minutes whenever we had a question throughout our stay. She is the true gem of this hotel. Some highlights of our stay included: The Public Areas: Excellent spaces, including the upstairs view decks. Convenient Amenities: Free washing facilities (essential for our month-long voyage with a party of four), a microwave, a mini-fridge, and ample closet space. The Suite Layout: The divided rooms gave our brother his own private space, complete with a sliding glass door, desk, and privacy curtain. The Bathroom: A powerful, beautifully hot shower with both handheld and rain options. Location & Value: An economical price for a very central location close to all the sights and restaurants of Dali Ancient Town. Bonus: Sister An whips up a very delicious latte! Because we ran out of time to do everything we wanted in Dali, we will definitely be back—and we will absolutely stay at this hotel again!

Excellent Location. Located a few steps from the main road. Near many supermarket and restaurants. Host is so friendly and provide help in booking tours. Will definitely stay here if coming to Dali.
