Xiangyu Manwu Hostel

Amazing and helpful staff. I didn’t plan my trip and they provided some very good recommendations. The location is perfect- for food, shopping, hailing a cab and going to Erhai. There’s also a really cute dog! Highly recommend this place.

We loved our stay here! The hotel owner is very helpful and kind. Our room was very comfortable, especially the bed and bath! The location is in the old town, so it is convenient, but it is enough out of the way to be very quiet. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Dali!

Great location, beautiful room, and perfect service (and still accepts foreigners!). The owner will add you on WeChat beforehand to help with initial arrival. Good suggestions on what to do and eat in the area. Would definitely stay here again if I get back to Dali.

Beautiful hotel with very pleasant owners. Really enjoyed our stay and I look forward to returning.

Very nice big space and great location. Breakfast is set local not Western .

Excellent experience! Great location in Dali Old Town, a little bit tricky to find but the owner was super helpful in sending us the location and meeting us to walk us and carry our bags to the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they provided lots of advice and suggestions on what to do and how to get around and helped us organize travel to our next destination. One of the employees also spoke English and was extra great in making this a great stay - special thanks to him! The hotel was also clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

This hotel is well-located on the east side of Dali old town, just north of Ren Min Road (although down a confusing back alley). The staff was very accommodating and delightful to deal with, and could speak English. My one problem with this hotel was the room. The room itself was nice enough, but with some broken fixtures (i.e. bedside lights, towel hook, door to room!!!). When we informed the hotel staff, they knew the door didn't close properly nor the bedside lights work. I would normally overlook these smaller issues, but the biggest problem compounded them: the terrace pictured with the expensive room on the top floor is NOT a private terrace. There is no mention of this on the hotel's booking page, nor in the pictures (which make it seem as if each of the two expensive upper floor rooms have private terraces. When combined with the price, which was quite high at over 500-600rmb a night, I would expect much more attention to detail, and certainly a private terrace. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and the room was nice (with windows all around the bed, offering decent views of the CangShan range), but not worth the 500rmb + price for such a small room with broken fixtures and a public terrace.

A wonderful place. Great character and location. Very, very helpful staff. Lovely breakfast.
