Gude Yiwu Inn

The hotel interior looks great. Thanks and appreciate for providing vegetarian options in breakfast. The location of hotel is great and very close to Ancient city. Thanks and definitely visit again. 🙏🏻🙂

I very rarely write reviews so the fact that I feel utterly compelled to share how lovely a place this hotel is should speak volumes. Firstly the location is amazing, within metres of the old town- one of the biggest I've been too, many stalls and food and in the evenings many bars with live music. The hotel itself, the rooms are simple but comfortable and warm - good quality duvet for winter (6°c at night when I went). Of course the courtyard is the focus point and my favourite part; super refreshing to have coffee in the morning in the quiet and nice sunlight (there's also a conservatory upstairs with a view of the mountains if preferred). And lastly the host, was incredibly hospitable and friendly. I arrived relatively late and I don't speak Chinese very well but he was very courteous and used a translator when necessary; you can also use WeChat to translate messages in realtime. He gave me a free room upgrade and always diligently prepared my breakfast each morning; on the first day he invited me to have tea with him and discussed my itinerary and made some recommendations (for no extra charge). Definitely will be recommending to my personal friends and if ever I come back to Dali I will certainly be coming here again. Thank you to the hotel for such a pleasant stay!

Position is great as it's in the old town, but in a quiet area full of stores and restaurants around, bedroom has everything needed, and despite the host doesn't speak much English, he is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is chinese style but good, freshly prepared. Certainly recommended!

The hotel is close to the old town. Their breakfast is delicious, and the noodles taste warm and decent. My app had a room upgrade option, so the staff upgraded our room to a two-queen bedroom. The staff picked us up from the main road using an electric tricycle and also dropped us off after we checked out. The downside is that the heater was not warm enough, especially as the weather was cold and rainy when we arrived.

We had a great time in Dali and much was thanks to the great location and wonderfully attentive host. They communicated with us prior to arrival to ensure we found the place easily and greeted us with a welcome tea. The bed was firm and comfortable and the WiFi was good. The courtyard and architecture was lovely but not evident in the rooms. The room was simple and clean enough, though it could use a deep clean (wall scrub). We would recommend and happily stay here once more if we return.

Such an amazing place and host. We feel so welcomed. The guy who runs the place was so helpful. He helped us to transport our luggage using his tricycle to the hotel. Great location, within the Ancient City. Hotel room was clean, bed was comfortable and shower has sufficient hot water pressure. Not forgetting the hearty, homely and delicious breakfast! Would come again.
