Dali Old Courtyard Boutique Inn

The historic courtyard was beautiful and in a relatively quiet spot, and the room was quite comfortable with very modern restroom facilities. The owner was also very hospitable, helping us carry luggage up the stairs and also connected us to a driver to get to our next hotel in Lijiang. Breakfast was tasty and had quite a few options available, we particularly liked the rice noodles.

Great location, really near to the best streets in Dali. Very traditional appearance (great for photos!) and friendly staff (although English not spoken at all times), good breakfast room, and communal sitting areas (inside and out).

The Location is great because it is within the heart of the old town but bear in mind that car drop off is not possible, you need to walk quite a distance with your luggage should you have a big case like us. However, the property keeper assisted us in transporting our luggage upon our arrival around 10 pm. I wish to stay more days like 5 nights instead of 2 nights.

1. Location It was inside old town, which got quite noisy in the evenings, but the moment you stepped in, it was like a different world - silent and calm. 2. Beautiful accommodation The inn is beautifully preserved with modern sensibilities. It was winter when we stayed and the room had floor heating, electric blankets and a portable heater. Even the curtains were remote controlled. We weren't too used to the pillows provided though! They were a little soft. 3. Hosts We are hosted by 2 ladies who shared with us details (very succinct details) on restaurants and attractions and were contactable on wechat any time. We appreciated having them advise us on all things Dali. 4. Community We became friends with the other guests that we were staying with and talking over breakfast and being at the courtyard after was such a joy. The space was really perfect for us to get away from our stressful lives and we are thankful we stayed here. 谢谢你们的关照！我们住的很舒服，民宿也充满着诗意. 有缘再见！😍

The hosts were very friendly and helpful and accommodated our dietary requests. The property was situated on a quiet alley, right in the heart of the ancient city of Dali. The rooms were clean and comfortable and modern, while retaining the traditional style. Outdoor courtyard with a fish pond was beautiful.
