Pros:

beautiful property situated in a tucked away alley, so it was quiet & peaceful, but still walkable to and from the old town. there was an issue with the shower in our room, and we were immediately upgraded to a bigger room! we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. clean and spacious, bathroom was really nice as well. highly recommend this place.

Great place for a quick visit
Pros:

Dali is a charming place where time seems to stand still, yet it offers travelers every modern comfort and convenience. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly warm and attentive—they even helped us load our luggage into the car. It was a truly delightful stay! The air cooler (not an air-cond) is doing it's job and won us over gradually.

Cons:

WiFi connection is unstable, but could be due to the software that we're using aren't acceptable by the local authority.

Meet the genuine and sincere staff at Wang Jia Yuan
Pros:

The hotel staff went the extra mile to prepare for us two sets of heart-warming breakfast on the day we departed very early for Lijiang. Woke up very early to drive us out to the main road to take our transport to the train station.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing as they have really won our hearts with their great hospitality and sincerity!

Encantadora casa estilo chino con patio interior maravilloso
Pros:

Es una antigua casa china maravillosa! Con un patio encantador. Hablan inglés perfectamente, buen desayuno, y muy céntrico. Es un hotel con sumo encanto. Me hicieron la cena porque no pude cenar el día de mi llegada y fueron sumamente amables. Cama súper cómoda con dosel y mosquitero, lo cual, te ubica en otra época.

The original Dali hotel! Don't miss it
Pros:

L'atmosfera tipica cinese, camera bellissima con travi in legno, divanetto e tante amenities in camera ed in bagno

Cons:

Il water, completamente elettronico che "viveva di vita propria". C'erano fornellini per le zanzare e zampironi ovunque, quindi un odore poco gradevole

Pros:

מלון משפחתי קטן בלב העיר העתיקה. צוות מקסים, ארוחת בוקר מצויינת. הכל נעים, שקט ואסתטי, אף שבקרוב מאד למרכז ההומה של העיר העתיקה.

Pros:

Alloggio in posizione centrale all'interno della città antica, camera e bagno spaziosi. I servizi proposti corrispondevano a quanto trovato, proprietaria molto gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

L'unico suggerimento che possiamo dare è l'aggiunta di aria condizionata dal momento che l'ambiente è molto umido. Non possiamo però lamentarci dato che la mancanza di condizionatore era specificata chiaramente già in fase di prenotazione.

Charmante maison d'hôtes traditionnelle en plein cœur de Dali, mais ne pas s'attendre à un hôtel
Pros:

Emplacement idéal, en plein centre de Dali, au cœur de l'animation de la ville. Le lieu est vraiment charmant, on avait l'impression de dormir dans une habitation traditionnelle authentique. Malgré la proximité immédiate avec l'agitation de la ville, les chambres sont étonnamment calmes et on y dort très bien, sans le brouhaha de la rue.

Cons:

Attention, il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel mais plutôt d'une maison d'hôtes avec très peu de chambres, tenue par une famille. Le petit-déjeuner est vraiment basique : ce n'est pas mauvais, mais le choix est limité au strict minimum. Niveau isolation phonique et hygiène, on est clairement dans l'esprit maison d'hôtes et non hôtel : entre le rez-de-chaussée et l'étage, on entend absolument tout (mieux vaut éviter les chambres au rez-de-chaussée). Globalement, très bon rapport qualité-prix, mais il faut avoir ces points en tête et ne pas s'attendre à une prestation 5 étoiles comme l'annonce pourrait le laisser penser.
