Great service rendered, helped to pick up luggages. Comfortable room with all basic amenities and even weighing scale. The scale was out of battery, contacted the person in charge, and immediately sent new batteries to doorstep. The rooftop view is nice and they provided free photography too.

It was my first time in Dali and the experience was very good. Fortunately, the weather was great, the hotel environment was great, and the service was very considerate!
Service: After arriving at the ancient town, the hotel will contact for pick-up, which is very considerate!
Environment: Sea view room, we have a terrace room, so when we open the sliding door, we can see Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. When we open the door, we can hear the sound of waves. When we close the door, it is very quiet and we can see the sunset! (Fishermen can bring fishing rods and cast hooks while sitting on the terrace)
Facilities: The facilities are also very good, comparable to star-rated hotels!

I couldn't walk by myself and was in a hurry. After I checked out, the guy took the risk and drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to help me deliver my luggage to the south gate of Shuanglang. I didn't stay full that day, so I was upgraded. I really like the style of this store! I saw that the store took a photo of the construction brother and hung it on the wall of the homestay, which was very warm~ My favorite is the Marshall in the room, haha, it's just right for Yunnan when it rains at night~ It's a different flavor to watch Erhai Lake alone on the terrace at night! It's that the three-wheeled motorcycle beeps every time it is turned on. The ancient town is too quiet. It's too sudden to hear it in the middle of the night. Hahahaha, fortunately I didn't sleep!

The decoration is nice and it feels very clean. The room I booked is not big but comfortable. The boss has good taste.
The breakfast and fruit are beyond expectation.
Transportation: There is a car to pick you up after you get to the main road. It is quite interesting to shuttle on the small road.
The only thing that is uncomfortable is that the hair dryer stops after three minutes. It seems that there is a high temperature limit?

The B&B is in an alley in Shuanglang. It's a long way around. Contact the store in advance and they will arrange parking and pick you up at the parking lot. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the B&B to the pier to watch the sunset. The B&B has complete facilities and is comfortable to stay in. The owner is very enthusiastic and will prepare fresh milk and rich fruit plates for everyone in the evening. After leaving the store, he also cares about whether you have arrived at the next place smoothly. He is very attentive! The only shortcoming may be that Shuanglang is very expensive, and the distance between buildings is too close. The surrounding B&Bs are in the same situation. The sea view is not a real sea view. The flaws do not cover the merits. There is a terrace on the roof where you can take a rest.

After my family of three checked in, I want to say: If you think the room meets your needs, please ignore the previous bad reviews! This is a very good homestay in Shuanglang, which is not big. It is not far from anywhere, and it is very close to a popular coffee shop where you can play in the water. The hardware standard of the room is very good, and the service and attitude of the boss are even better. The sleep-aiding milk at night is very nice. My baby has been drinking 1L Deyun, so natural, etc. After drinking it, he said that this milk has a milky taste. In short, if you choose this homestay, it will definitely not be a wrong choice.

There are so many hotels in Shuanglang. It took me a long time to find a hotel with a suitable location and price. The service attitude is very good. They will help us reserve parking spaces and pick us up in a tricycle. The lady boss also helped us upgrade the room type for free so that our two rooms are on the same floor. There is good night milk in the evening. It is very convenient to eat and travel around. I like Dali very much. If I have the opportunity to come again, I will choose this place

The B&B is next to Shuanglang Ancient Town, which is convenient for travel. The room is smaller than I expected, but the children like the starry sky room upstairs very much, and the upper bunk has become a secret world for the children. The room is clean and hygienic, with complete facilities and many charging sockets, which can meet the charging of our three watches, two mobile phones, two power banks, and two tablets at the same time. The only drawback is that the toilet has no door, which is a bit embarrassing. It is recommended that the boss lady install a curtain. I especially want to praise the boss lady and the staff in the store. They are warm and kind, and they are all very simple people. The breakfast is also rich and tastes good. The surprise is the welcome fruit and hot milk before going to bed, which makes me feel the boss's full of care!

It was already 11 o'clock when I took a taxi to Shuanglang. The store contacted in advance and drove out to pick me up. They helped me carry the suitcases to the building. I woke up naturally in the morning and opened the curtains to see the Erhai Lake. It was really beautiful! ! The boss told me that there was a platform upstairs where I could take pictures. It was really good. There was free breakfast rice noodles next to the hotel. It was very authentic. I left my luggage at the front desk and could walk to Shuanglang. I didn't need to come back when I checked out. I contacted them on WeChat and the luggage was delivered to the main temple. I will come again next time I come to Yunnan.
