China Old Story Inns Dali Ancient Town

Watch out for all the dropping off’s. You can easily fall if not paying attention.

环境优雅，古色古香，店员服务态度特别热情友好，客栈提供的免费自助早餐丰富可口。

第一次进房间有一股味道，感觉像是马桶里冒出来的，然后前台给换了房间，晚上的热水不太热，第二天才知道那天晚上的热水有问题，洗了个冷水澡的感觉。到了第二天细想不对，我预订的房型跟实际房型好像不太一样，总共入住两晚，到了第二晚才发现，跟前台理论了蛮久最后终于又换房了，总体是有点折腾的，环境还可以，就是雨季天气潮湿，感觉房间哪里都是湿的。这个酒店提供了免费的火车站接站服务，最后一天准备走的时候还有书吧可以休息，环境非常不错，就这个可以点赞了，毕竟等时间去火车站有点难熬无处去。总体来讲还可以

The hotel is a little bit away from the old city of Dali. It's in the end of a deep alley. It has two individual buildings which are not very far from each other. We booked a family room with two bunk beds. Surprisingly, they are quite comfortable through. Our room is not spacious and the bathroom is the smallest one we have never seen. Your shower head is basically right above your toilet seat. The mirror in the bathroom is like kid size as well. All in all, if you are on a budget, this is the place to stay. BTW, the hotel does offer a free breakfast daily.

Very helpful rectionist, comfortable rooms with excellent water pressure and ambience. Nice courtyard. Breakfast was very local and lacked variety

バックパッカーが多いと聞いていたがそうでもなくよかった。２部屋予約で浴槽のある部屋があるので決めたが１部屋は浴槽がなかった。残念。冷蔵庫はないが真夏ではないので取り立てて不便はなかった。ロケーションは抜群によい。ただしわかりずらい。

it was good

合適

I cannot fault this hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Good and clean facilities. Excellent location.

Very frustrated. (1) The Inn could not located my hotels.com reservation. It seems to be some disconnect in the systems. (2) The room type "Holiday" I booked thru Hotels.com does not exist. (3) After 20 min of waiting and negotiating, they finally gave me a very last room available which was similar to what I booked. But the room is nowhere close to "323-sq-foot (30-sq-meter) room with garden views". (4) The bathroom has no partition for the shower area and the toilet. The bathroom (including the toilet and the floor) is all wet after shower. (5) The lighting in the room is very dim, (6) The TV program does not work (due to internet connection failed), (7) The in-room phone set is broken, I could not communicate with the front desk. Overall, it is bad experience.

Wifi is non existent, wasn't able to log in. Front desk person was very annoyed and rude bc we spoke English and she had to translate on her phone app. She didn't return our 100 yuan deposit until I asked for it. The hotel had a lot of history and set in a traditional setting with nice courtyard and rooftop view. Location is good if you like to stay in old town. Price is reasonable.

Very friendly staff but no english spoken. We lucked out as Matti, a hotel employee from Beijing, was working at the hotel for two of our days and was extremely helpful. Also a big thank you to Mr Jack, the transportation manager, who with the help of his phone with an English translation app, suggested and arranged and drove us to interesting places. A most enjoyable stay. A translation app would greatly enhance a trip to China.

Well located hotel near South Gate in Dali. Staff is very friendly & service oriented. The bed comfort was amazing.

Some rooms have better views, more modern and cleaner than others. Their hotel driver told me their breakfast buffet was very good. I tried it and it was not as good as he said.

Very good Chinese hotel , staff very helpful, breakfast Chinese only, close to the South Gate.

Overall is satisfied except every morning the bath hot water tap just flew out and hot water pour out non stop.

the hotel offer us a pickup service eventhough we only stay for 1 night. the room is big and clean. location is 50/50 its only 10 mins away from old town entrance but its in a small alleyway. quiet neighbourhood. good stay overall

Just walk out of de hotel and you are in the ancient town

We had a nice visit at this Inn with the staff being welcoming on arrival and quickly having us in our rooms (even though we were early). The rooms were nice and the bed very comfortable. A suitcase stand would have been a nice addition and I wasn't fond of a cold shower on a cloudy day when the solar hot water didn't heat up, and the customer laundry needs updating, however they were minor inconveniences overall and we enjoyed our stay and interactions with staff.

Rating is relative to similar types of hotels. Less than 10 minutes walk of the Dali Old Town South Gate. Free pickup from the train station. Service was great. Rooms were clean and facilities were new-ish. Don't expect a 5 star hotel amenities but for what it is it was a quaint and pleasant stay. Free breakfast was a choice of 2 local noodles. Stayed for 2 nights and wouldn't mind staying again. Not sure about their English since I speak choppy Chinese, but can't expect much next to an ancient Chinese town.
