Dali li li wan xiang youth community hostel

amazing really private dorm beds, great service, staff was really friendly and helpful with planning the rest of my trip!! they also have really cute cats and a really cute dog!

Very nice homestay. Chill vibe. Good people and service. Free pick up and drop off from old city. Food was good. Cats and dog running around. Ping-pong table. What's not to love!

A few rules of conduct would be appropriate. Some guests behave extremely uncivilized. I don't know if this is normal, but nobody seems to wash their hands with soap. Even urinating without splashing water next to the toilet is apparently too difficult for some. There is huge dog in the hostel, which might be cool for most people but some might be afraid and also there are hairs of cat and dog everywhere in the common area. This is not the hygiene standards you would expect from a hotel/hostel. Smoking inside is not allowed, but some guests don't care. The bathroom in the dorm is a joke. First its always bad to have the bathroom not separate, you will hear people **** and piss all night. The doors are made of mikly glass and don't even have locks. One time the toilet was clocked and the water run over the floor. Zero privacy, zero hygiene, zero behaviour of guests. Can't really recommend it.

Clean, good shower, nice vibe. 20 minutes from old town and there are rides available

Room and hostel generally clean and the receptionist speak little english. They communicate via WeChat. There is a shuttle bus service from the hostel to the fire station near Dali ancient city from 09:00- 24:00. There is a self laundry on the rooftop. The view from rooftop also 🤌🏻 ✨ They also offer small group tour package with affordable price. Cute cats and dogs. Minor: the location is a bit far from the old city and a bit isolated. If you want a comfortable stay, book a private room instead. Some of the guest scattered their make up and even cut their hair on the share sink and didn’t even clean it. For me, your personal item should be in your personal locker. So that other guests comfortable to use it after. Maybe the receptionist should emphasise it during checkin.

What can I say, I came for the 7 fluffy and beautiful cats 😻I wish I had more free time to cuddle them! Hostel is just outside the old town but with the free rides they offer it's not a problem. Easy access to one of the Cangshan cable cars, and to the bus going to the train station. The staff is helpful and they also offer tours. the mattress is too thin but that seems to be the case in many hotels in china
