GuiYuan Heritage Inn

This time I took my two daughters with me, and I wanted to bring them the same feeling I had when I came to Dali more than ten years ago: blue sky and white clouds, white walls and gray tiles, simplicity and tranquility, cultural heritage and persistence in the alternative. Dali has changed so much. Fortunately, I found a B&B called "Guiyuan" next to the ancient city, which preserved the Dali in my memory. The hustle and bustle of the ancient city seems to disappear when you turn around Yuping Hutong. The road here is wider, the rhythm is slower, the sounds are quieter, and the white walls and gray tiles can be seen more clearly. Walking into the B&B, it feels more like arriving in a paradise. A young girl in her early twenties remembered each of our preferences: she prepared sunscreen masks and sleeves for us when we went out. My daughter has bad legs, so she brings our breakfast upstairs every morning so that we can eat without going downstairs. A gentle and elegant lady hostess and the young host accompanied us to drink tea and chat. We talked about tea drinking, art, the origin of the antiques in the shop and entrepreneurship. Suddenly I felt that this was not a B&B, but a young man's inheritance and understanding of the Dali family culture of the previous generation. Through art, architecture, services and other details, he conveyed to each visitor what Dali should be like. Every brick, tile, window, and tea cup of this B&B conveys the collision of tradition and modernity. Traditional architectural features, modern and comfortable rooms; time seems to stop when drinking tea and chatting, and every one of our needs is met so promptly here. Don’t forget your original intention, cherish the present, do everything well, and do it right It was passed on to us bit by bit by the owner here.

It was my first time in Dali and I loved it! The owner, mother and two lovely ladies were very welcoming. The room was well-equipped and very thoughtful. Breakfast was what I looked forward to every day, and it was delicious~ The only regret was that I couldn't enjoy afternoon tea in the B&B due to the schedule, but the lady specially prepared some snacks and cakes for us to eat on the high-speed rail🥹 I have recommended it to my friends~ I must stay here next time I come back^_^

The environment of the small courtyard is very good, and it is very atmospheric. The wisteria flowers are in bloom and the fragrance is pleasant. The food is very light and healthy. The sanitary conditions are good and the housekeeper provides attentive service. There is a farmer's market at the door, which is very convenient to buy some fruits. It is only five minutes away to stroll to the ancient city in the evening. Highly recommend this quiet little courtyard.

The hotel is very beautiful and the service is very good. It is very close to the ancient city and is just a few steps away.

It was a perfect stay. I had only booked one day's accommodation, but after arriving, I decisively gave up the other places I had booked (the key is that it is not refundable) and decided to stay here for another night. The standard of afternoon tea has surpassed that of professional dessert shops, and the housekeeper's service is also thoughtful and enthusiastic. It is worth recommending 👍

Go to Dali with peace of mind! The hotel facilities are very high-end and the environment inside really has nothing to say. The room is very quiet and not noisy at all! And the location is also very good. It’s only a few minutes’ walk to the ancient city of Dali. It’s a B&B I like very much! The housekeeper inside is also very warm and considerate.

The facilities are complete, the sanitation is particularly clean, the environment is quiet, the service attitude is very good, and they will respond to any requests.

This may be the most difficult review I think to write. I thought for a long time about how to describe the experience of staying at Guiyuan. It's probably a feeling of going home. The feeling of home started from the moment I met Sister Liu when I checked in. It was like being at home. I took off my shoes and sat on the chair and we started chatting about various things. I usually like to stay alone in a hotel, so I chose the quiet Guiyuan. But after checking in, I often chat with the boss, roast fire, pet the dog and look at the cat. I think the fireworks in the quiet are more charming. From the nutritious breakfast and handmade afternoon tea every day to every care and greeting, from hair bands to band-aids, from the warm baby given before going out every day to the smiling faces opening the door every time I come back, I think it's hard for me to describe this experience of staying in words. Some small episodes of staying in the hotel also bloomed with good intentions in the end, so I am very sure that I will stay in Guiyuan again soon. Everything is wonderful after being connected with Guiyuan. PS Lucky stars are indeed a little fat, hahaha

Facilities: Complete facilities, very clean; Environment: Not in the downtown area of ​​the ancient city, 10 minutes walk away, very quiet. Service: Very considerate butler service, free pick-up and drop-off service, will ask about breakfast time the night before, and have homemade afternoon tea☕️, very considerate. Will come again next time.
