同じHoliday innと思えないホテルです。レベルが低い感じします。
Pros:

鉄道駅に近い所にありました。比較的都心に近い所です。受付のスタッフは親切でした。

Cons:

朝ご飯は06:30からでしたが、料理は加熱されていないのが多い、蒸し物の饅頭が冷たい、冷蔵庫から出したばかりの冷たさ。スタッフに聞いたら、6時から仕事開始なので仕方がないって答えられました。一月南京に泊まったHoliday inn 食堂のスタッフ対応とレベルが全然違います。また、浴室の下水が流れなくて詰まってました。
下水口2箇所ありましたが両方詰まります。一度処理していただきましたが、直したのは1箇所のみです。

Pros:

Breakfast choice, launderette. Room decor and furniture. Cleanliness and housekeeping is a strength.

Cons:

They should warn guests there’s currently much construction work and erected fences in the immediate area making it hard to find the hotel - more signage in general. Pity there’s no gym. Staff were very robotic and not particularly friendly, even if English is limited you can at least smile and say “good morning”.

Pros:

The facilities are very good. Service team was all very helpful. Very good worth of value

Cons:

The location is good and nice being at the centre of the city.....but there is construction work going on nearby making access quite troublesome honestly (well all is good other than that)

Pros:

Room was nice, but not the best place to stay.

The problems were as of the time of this review they are still fixing the road, so you can't call a car from the front, you have to take a walk around the corner which is an inconvenient place for the driver to pick you up. Apparently, this road has been under construction for the last 5 years, and the locals I spoke to think it will be the same for a few more years.

Other than that, the breakfast was revolting, the bread was hard around the edges, the eggs had a metallic smell to them which I didn't dare eat, and the one mouthful of coffee I did have immediately got spat back out, really not good. Couldn't even eat the bacon, and as I walked out of the dining room most plates had a substantial amount of food left on them. Ended up just ordering breakfast from outside after the second day.

Lastly, I thought it was pretty poor form to charge people upwards of 25 yuan to use the washer and dryer when most hotels that are actually cheaper just let you use the laundry facilities for free.

Anway the room is fine if you need to be in central Dali but other than that go to Gucheng instead.
