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:

The location is perfectly situated near busy Ancient Dali market streets, yet somehow very serene and quiet. Complimentary breakfast was delicious.

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.

Schönes Gebäude in zentraler Lage mit großen Schwächen. Bitte lesen, bevor sie buchen.
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, schönes historisches Gebäude, freundliches Personal, Frühstück war ok

Cons:

Wir mussten leider unser Zimmer wechseln, da das ursprüngliche Zimmer extrem laut war. Die Decke war sehr schlecht gedämmt und man hat jeden Schritt und die Toilettenspülung aus dem Zimmer oben sehr stark gehört. Ich übertreibe nicht, das Zimmer war extrem hellhörig, obwohl in der Beschreibung stand, dass es gedämmt ist. Daraufhin haben wir ein Ersatzzimmer bekommen was ok war. Die Nacht darauf mussten wir erneut umziehen. Das Zimmer unter dem Dach war klein und als es regnete, ist an einer Stelle Wasser eingedrungen.

The staff were wonderful, going above and beyond to make our stay exceptional
Pros:

The hotel is in a beautiful and tranquil traditional courtyard setting. A pleasure to be there. We very much appreciated the peaceful surroundings, and the helpful and attentive staff. The breakfasts were wonderful, again in a peaceful setting.

Cons:

The sound of footsteps in the room above was a bit disturbing on occasion - but overall didn’t detract
