Would recommend this hands down to anyone visiting Dali!!
Pros:

What a fantastic place to stay!! Such hospitality! Perfect location and excellent value for money. I stayed for eight nights. Quiet and very comfortable room with all the mod-cons in the bathroom. Air con and even an electric blanket if you are cold. Such a friendly owner who speaks very good English. I will certainly be staying here again next time I visit Dali.

Cons:

Not about the property, but be warned! The mosquitos are a very hungry variety in Dali!

nous avons passé un très bon séjour
Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet établissement, qui ressemble davantage à une pension de famille qu’à un hôtel classique, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale. À notre arrivée, nous avons rencontré un problème car aucune chambre n’était disponible malgré notre réservation. L’hôtelier a cependant immédiatement trouvé une solution, nous a proposé une chambre et nous a accordé une réduction pour compenser ce désagrément. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié sa réactivité et son sens de l’accueil.

Cons:

Quelques points pourraient néanmoins être améliorés : l’établissement mériterait quelques rafraîchissements et les petits-déjeuners gagneraient à être un peu plus variés.

Lovely stay
Pros:

The room and hotel shared spaces were excellent. There is a courtyard, living space and rooftop which is pleasant to use.
The staff at the hotel were kind and helpful, my room was upgraded for free.
The cleanliness of the room was perfect, and it had all the amenities needed for a 5 day stay. There are also washing machines on site that can be used for free.
The location is great, because the street itself is quiet, but it's right on the doorstep of the old town.
The hotel also has many animals which can be played with and are so sweet!
I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Dali!
