yiban Inn (Dali Ancient City South Gate Branch)

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here as it felt like home the first moment I stepped in. Close proximity to the Ancient City and other nearby quaint villages allowed me to explore freely as a female solo traveller + met many interesting new people. Lovely people running the inn - extremely responsible, helpful and hospitable. Frequently had meals and played games with them, taught me a bunch about Dali, Dongbei and Guangdong culture. Also appreciated how clean the place was! Overall, great place and would stay again :)

I'm so grateful to have found this wonderful home stay! You could reach the host via WeChat,he show us the way to inn and help us with the luggage when Didi drop us in wrong place.Room is very comfortable,you can enjoy the tea with mountain view. My hosts have been absolutely delightful, going out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. From offering me a warm cup of tea to getting to know each other and sharing stories, they've made me feel like part of the family. And of course, their adorable dog has been a constant source of joy and companionship! The little touches, like providing comfortable sandals when my shoes were wet, have really made a big difference. This home stay truly feels like a home away from home, and I couldn't be more thankful.

Friendly staffs. They even offered ú free watermelon. Room is clean and all devices are in good condition. Bonus point: a dog is cute

Traveling to Dali for the first time, I did make a right choice. The location of the hotel is perfect, 10 mins walk to the Old town, many food shops around for breakfasts and dinners. The utilities are perfect with washing machine, warm bed heater and air condition, and even the electric toilet with heat system. Hot water system is good too. The owner and staffs are friendly, we got a free drive from Kunming train station to the hotel and get support from the for good car booking service. I really enjoy the days in Dali.

A clean and comfortable place as shown in the photos. If you have any queries pertaining to places to visit, the hosts there to help. Download the "DiDi" app (liken to "Grab ride") for a faster journey and the price is just half of taking a taxi.

It was a very good experience. The owners are extremely friendly and treat you like a part of the family. I‘ve very much enjoyed the evening with them. The room is very comfortable and the house is decorative and interesting. I‘ve slept very well and I felt fresh and healthy in the morning. The location is also good, close to restaurants and in walking distance to the ancient town. I would enjoy to stay again!
