JJulianHostel had a good location. Close to the center of the old town but on a quiet relaxed area. Staff was friendly. Not very social but depends on the guests at the time. Because there was a big are to chill. In the shared room some people were smoking inside at night and I couldn't sleep because of the smell but that's not the hostels fault

GGuest UserGetting around March Street is super convenient. During the March Street market, you can spend half a day walking downstairs. The room is exactly like the pictures; you get what you see! It's cleaned every day! I stayed here for a week straight, and there's still a lot I didn't see. Next time I come, I won't have to worry about finding folk customs. If you come to a strange city and only rely on pictures to find a place to stay, you'll still make a lot of mistakes. There are really no mistakes here. The uncles and aunts are super nice, and the boss is also very kind. 🤣🤣

JJazz time!!I stayed for over a week from December 9th to December 17th!
The first night I arrived, my friends and I made a promise to hike up Zhonghe Temple together the next morning.
The next day, the nine of us hiked together.
We had a super fun day.
A magical connection! I started a subconscious Ouka group.
Here, I attended a swing dance party and danced with a French boy.
I received gifts from my friends.
Thank you for all the encounters that happened here.

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 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

MMisterDeanCharming hostel nestled in the heart of the old town. Although it's a bit tricky to locate, this adds to its tranquility, making it an ideal spot for restful sleep. One minor drawback is the lack of an open communal area where guests can easily connect with locals or fellow travelers. The hostel predominantly hosts Chinese guests, which might make foreign visitors feel somewhat isolated.

AAnonymous UserThis youth hostel experience completely exceeded my expectations! The moment I entered, I was immediately captivated by the lively atmosphere in the lobby—someone was singing and playing guitar at a long wooden table, travel guides from various regions lined the bookshelves, and green plants in the corners glowed with warm light. I instantly felt a sense of belonging, ”on the road.”
My six-person room was much tidier than I'd imagined. Each bed had a blackout curtain, a charging port, and its own small light. The top bunk even had a rack for my backpack. The sheets were washed white but odorless, and the mattress was just the right firmness. I didn't even hear the bed frame creak when I turned over in the middle of the night. The shared bathroom was surprisingly cleaned every morning and evening, with a constant supply of shampoo and shower gel. Even the mirror was polished to a shine!
The most surprising thing about the hostel was its ”hidden services”: the front desk guy hand-painted a local snack map, highlighting the cheap eats frequented by locals. In the evening, I shared a hot pot with friends from Yunnan and Xinjiang, and even got to enjoy some glutinous rice noodles made by a Xinjiang girl. I forgot to bring my charger before leaving, so the front desk lent me a spare and even gave me two mints as a ”keep me going” before I left.
Staying here didn't feel like staying in a hotel; it felt like staying at a friend's house—the warm lights in the lobby were always on when I returned late at night.

AAnonymous UserAround 10min walk from railway station to the hotel. The host is lovely and she allows us for an early check in. The room size is quite small for 4 ppl but we stay here for 1 night so it’s acceptable with price and location. The location is perfect, few minute walk to bus station no.4 and you can just take this bus all the way to three pagoda, or Dali old town. From Dali old town, you can also take didi to the famous lake. Dali old town is very happening at night.

GGuest UserThe 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.
