FANMU GUESTHOUSE

Not a good guesthouse. First of all, the owner is never there so when you need something she says she'll deliver it later bit doesn't do it. Secondly it's quite dirty, we found a used condoom under our bed 🤢. There is also no door between the bed and toilet so be prepared to hear all the noises... Also the location isn't amazing so I'm sure you can find way better hotels for this price.

It’s a little tricky to find as the map location is often on the opposite side of the road. The sign is down a narrow alley, usually with a food stall in the way. It’s a nice room and it was a pleasant stay. But check-in was troublesome for foreigners. The computer and camera system failed to take adequate photos of my passport or me, and even the local PSB couldn’t really make it work. A minor inconvenience though. When I arrived the receptionist was asleep at a nearby table. I didn’t know it was him until I called the hotel number. When I checked out at 8:30 am there was nobody at reception at all. In the room itself there are no light switches by the bed and the main light doesn’t work. The kitchen area is tired and needs repairing/updating. The provided rose cakes were really nice. I enjoyed using the tea set to make Pu’er tea. The room was light and airy and the overall experience was good, if a little inconvenient at times.

Good location in dali old town
