Dali in February, Yunchu boutique B & B

Extended my stay for one more night and moved to a different room. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean, close to ancient city and there was a festival selling a lot of foods and other stuffs near the hostel during my stay.

It’s a typical Bai style building, had a cute yard and great rooftop terrace with a city view and a hammock (extra bonus!). The owner was extremely hospitable, he spotted me on the street a bit lost and brought me inside. No stuff speaks English, so have to rely on online translation. The dorm room where I stayed was spacious and light, with bathroom and shower in the room. The bed was very comfortable, and provided decent privacy. You also get a big locker inside the room, that’s convenient. But make sure to have your own towel and amenities, as nothing is included. Still, it’s a very fair price and service, convenient location (can reach by a direct bus from the railway station and walk to the ancient city), and nice safe area. You can also easily walk to the cable car entrance from there and find many restaurants around.

The description of the hotel is misleading. It states the room is 60sq meters but divided in 2 floors using a spiral staircase. Very inconvenient to go up and down to the toilet. So we asked to change rooms. As expected they asked for more money RMB20 per night and we gave them . I think there are plenty of choices of home stay there . Housekeeping didn’t make or change bedsheets even it’s dirty
