This hotel definitely deserves five stars! I've stayed in three different guesthouses in the ancient town, and while this one wasn't the most expensive, I personally think it offered the best value for money. They provide airport pick-up and drop-off, complimentary welcome fruit, and private courtyards that ensure a disturbance-free stay. The air conditioning was just right, and the courtyard views were lovely. You can even see the Three Pagodas directly from the hotel lobby. The breakfast selection was decent, and the stir-fried dishes were particularly tasty. It's easy to hail a taxi, and the hotel is quite close to the North Gate of the ancient town. Regarding service, staff did help with luggage, but overall, it didn't quite match the level of established five-star hotels in Kunming. For instance, they didn't proactively confirm airport pick-up details with guests; I had to call and inquire before they added me on WeChat to coordinate. Also, the staff at the entrance didn't actively open or close car doors, and inside the hotel, staff weren't consistently smiling or greeting guests. It feels like the training could be improved. Another guesthouse I stayed at did a much better job in these areas, though it was significantly more expensive. All in all, despite these minor points, the value for money here is outstanding. It’s a great place to stay, especially if you’re traveling with children.

Took my beloved to Dali for New Year's Day. After calling to inquire about the room types, I decisively made a reservation. The butler was beautiful and provided attentive service every day, answering all our questions and even arranging a thoughtful itinerary for visiting the Three Pagodas. Both the estate's environment and the breakfast were full of delightful surprises. Upon arrival, Dali's winter cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the cherry trees at the entrance were absolutely stunning. The hot spring pool was very comfortable, and while soaking, we could even spot little squirrels scampering on the trees. My partner loved every detail of the estate, and we'll definitely stay here again if we have the chance.

The rooms are spacious, with each building having two floors. The first floor features a king-size bed and a small courtyard, while the second floor offers twin beds. The resident manager is a foreigner who speaks fluent English with an accent, and he's very kind. The breakfast is quite good; while it can't compare to a five-star hotel, it's definitely above average for hotels of a similar size. The hotel's courtyard landscaping is a real highlight – complete with small bridges and flowing water, beautifully arranged. I wasn't expecting that at all. When I booked, I thought it was just a regular guesthouse, but I was genuinely impressed when I saw the landscaping. I also have to mention the staff; their service is comparable to a five-star hotel. They helped us with our luggage both ways, greeted us warmly, and even explained the room facilities upon arrival. Since we booked a twin room on the second floor, an older gentleman, looking quite senior, helped us carry our bags up without even breaking a sweat – truly impressive! When we checked out, two staff members accompanied us to the hotel entrance, helped load our luggage into the car, and then gave us directions to our next attraction. They even thoughtfully prepared some small snacks and waved us off as we left, which made us feel incredibly pampered. The hotel is very close to the North Gate of Dali Ancient City, just a 5-minute walk. From the hotel, you can see the three white pagodas of the Chongsheng Temple, Dali's only 5A-rated scenic spot, which is only a 5-minute drive away. The only minor inconvenience is that you need to call a taxi a bit in advance. My husband and I both used two different apps on our phones, and it took about 15 minutes for a driver to accept the ride.

Dali Taoxi Mengdie is definitely my top choice for accommodation in Dali. The hotel is a villa-style building with elegant gardens, offering a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle. The environment is serene and comfortable, and it's just a short walk to Dali Ancient City, making the location incredibly convenient. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, with attention to every detail. What truly touched me was when I had a sore throat due to changes in diet and environment, and was worried it might be altitude sickness. A very kind foreign manager from the hotel immediately drove me to a nearby hospital for treatment, assisting me warmly throughout the process, which made me feel completely secure. Both the rooms and common areas offer excellent views, perfect for relaxing with cards or simply enjoying the scenery. The overall experience was flawless, and I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Dali.

Cleanliness: When I checked in, the towel elephant decoration wasn't properly arranged; it was just piled on the bed, making me think they were leftover towels from the previous guest. I even saw towels hanging on the railing outside the room. I was also shocked to find three different brands of toiletries in one room, and the quality of the lotion was concerning – it was very watery. Breakfast: Just so-so. When I went at 9:30 AM, everything was cold, and the heat lamps didn't seem to be doing much. Service: The airport shuttle service was the only redeeming quality. Facilities: The smart toilet wasn't very smart at all. Looking at the hotel's description page, perhaps different room types have different facilities and toiletries, but for this price, it's really quite ridiculous.

The environment is beautiful, and the room is very spacious and comfortable, with underfloor heating. The 24-hour butler service is very thoughtful. Although breakfast is simple, it's exquisite. I'll definitely stay longer next time!

This is my second time staying at Mengdiezhuang, and it's still great value for money. I'll definitely choose it again if I need accommodation in the future.
