    very charming restored boutique hotel located right in the heart of the ancient town but away from all the bustle. the hearty home cooked breakfast is a great start to the day too. did not hurt that we got upgraded to a suite which was very lovely too.

    I love everything about this place. The warm welcome by the hostess. The homey feeling when sit at tea table and enjoy an afternoon tea under the hundreds year old tree. you can find owners’ effort in every details and delicacy in the room settings and yard designs. Also, room is warm enough for end Nov stay with aircon. Location wise, it’s very convenient too!

    Dali is quite big, this hotel is near to the Chong Sheng Shi 3 pagodas. It also has a nice roof top view to the pagodas. The staff is very friendly and professional. The rooms were nicely designed, welcome fruits were served too. Beds were comfy.

    From the moment you walk into this stay, it feels like a modern sanctuary. I felt so relaxed due to the beautiful decor, which has been designed beautifully. I loved staying here so much that I came home early just to enjoy the room and the rooftop. You can pay a small fee to access unlimited movies. Perfect bed, living room and bathroom. Hosts were lovely too. Great breakfast, cooked when you wake up.
