This was the best hotel that I have ever been to by far. Safe, clean, beautiful, with fantastic service. I would 1000% recommend it and hope to go back soon! The landlord and staff become friends very quickly; they picked us up from the airport and took care of us the entire time going far beyond what we paid for. Each evening, they made some special dish as a treat for all of the guests, and once when we were caught out in the rain, the landlord came and picked us up and then we were met at the hotel with warm blankets and ginger soup. I cannot recommend this place enough; it feels like a garden paradise in a perfect location; right between the mountains and the lake, and beside Dali Old Town. Breakfast every morning is the most fresh, delicious, and healthy food that I have ever had in China. I speak a little Chinese, but the guests who speak no Chinese got along very well. The landlord and some of the staff speak English. You will not regret a single moment here!!!
