A wonderful place to stay in Dali”

The hostel was difficult to find due to a lack of street signs, but once we got there our room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. The bathroom had a deep bathtub with a shower in it. The hostel is on the edge of a local market - as in just go outside and you are can buy your fruit or vegetables. But each room has good window insulation. We caught bus #8 from Xia Guan where the bus from Kunming arrives. We went to the terminus, but didn't know to turn right at the next street which is Pingdeng Street. A useful landmark, (and a good place for breakfast), is the Swiss Cafe. If you continue all the way down Pingdeng Street, past the church and through the market you will arrive at La Maison du Lao Shay. It is much easier to catch the bus from Xia Guan that goes to the three pagodas in Dali and get off at the vegetable market. The hostel has wifi, a lovely living room as well as an outdoor sitting area. We don't fit in the usual demographic for youth hostels, but the hostel had a range of guests and is a lovely place for all ages to stay. It is very quiet at night. Some guests may find the stairs, the high step up into the bathroom and deep bath problematic. The young manager speaks enough English for non-Chinese speakers to easily cope. Highly recommended.

The room was very clean but hot water was the problem, the flow of water was not strong and sometimes it didn;t come out at all, in the winter time this is big problem. The bathroom has bathtub. Very close to Dali Market where you can buy fresh fruits.
