Chaoge Youth Hostel (Dali Ancient Town South Gate)

Room and bed is clean. There are a few washing machines, dryers, and water dispensers all free to use. It also has a movie room and karaoke room if you ever need one. Location wise, it is located in an alley right infront of Dali's south gate, very convinient. Walking a few hundred meters outside you will be able to access Dali's bus system, easy to travel back to the railway station. However, the toilets are abit messy and moldy, but still clean nevertheless. One thing I dislike was even thought it is a non smoking room, smokers would often open the doors and smoke right outside the room, filling the room with cigarettes smell. Toilets would also occasionally smell due to the cigarette buds thrown into the toilet bins. But aside from that, it is a very good hostel that is worth for your money.

Great location and a nice modern hostel inside the city walls. Unfortunately the two others in the room had there stuff everywhere, unsure if this really was those or the hostel not removing less left by previous guests. Staff were friendly and helped me book my bus to the next location but did give some incorrect information about the things to do in the local area

Beautiful place to stay in good location. Clean and cozy!
