Dali first International Youth Hotel

Nice place to chill in Dali Old Town, the rooftop is amazing to enjoy the sun if the weather is good ! Don’t hesitate to come here !

Right in the old town, very helpful staff with kitchen, rooftop and free laundry, plus very cute kitten 🐱

The hostel is right in the centre of the ancient town. The staff I friendly even though they do not speak English. The bed was very hard but I still slept well.

The location is very nice in the middle of the Ancient Town, there is lots of tourist and touristic shops. The car or bus cannot enter, so there will be a 10 min walk to the hostel from the city entrance. Theres many restaurants nearby and lots of street food. Also close to the shuttle buses for touristic areas. Since places are a bit far in Dali and theres mainly shuttle buses, public buses and cars to drive around, I suggest staying at least 3 days. My only complaint is the female bathroom situation specifically at night. The cleaning would be in the morning and by night it would get very messy. But this is also due to the guests behavior, so the solution would be cleaning at night too. The staff was nice and sometimes would arrange activities in the group chat. I recommend and would come back.

The front desk staff are friendly and eager to provide information. The location is in the center of the business district, which is convenient for shopping. Here you can chat with many friends and get their experiences. The service staff are also willing to help solve problems. However, if you stay in a private room, it will be easier if there is a lounge upstairs. It smells like smoke and is noisy. It is suitable for a room with multiple people and is cost-effective. The electricity and hot water systems happened to be unstable during those few days. This is the only drawback.

Good clean hostel and great location
