Pros:

Mooi sfeervol gebouw met hofje. Mooie kamer. Zeer behulpzame staf. Goede locatie in historische stad.

Cons:

De taxichauffeur kon de goede afzetplek niet vinden. Dat koste veel tijd. Dat ligt niet aan het hotel. Want deze ligt in een autovrij deel van de stad. Maar het zou helpen als ze de juiste afzetlocatie op de Booking site op de kaart aangeven.

Pros:

Ein Hotel mit Geschichte und Tradition. Fuer Gaeste, die Luxus suchen vielleicht nicht optimmal, aber wer das alte Dali erleben will ist hier richtig.

Cons:

Die Matratze ist nicht optimal und das Fruehstueck koennte auf westliche Gaeste angepasst werden.

Pros:

La struttura è molto bella, in una posizione centrale. Il personale gentile e disponibile. Riscaldamento disponibile.
Il personale parla abbastanza bene inglese.

Cons:

La struttura è antica ed è il suo fascino. Al tempo stesso le camere hanno molti spifferi d’aria. Sono presenti stufette e scalda letto.

Pros:

Nice ancient looking building, convenient to shop around the town.

Cons:

The water temperature suddenly hot suddenly cold. Cannot compare to hotel service but it’s pretty good for a 100 years old building.

A magical stay in old Dali
Pros:

It was a lovely old building in a great setting with very helpful staff and a generous breakfast each morning. We had a room that was an entire wing of one of the upper floors with windows that looked into the court chart which was magical.

Cons:

We liked everything. It was very good.
