Day Youth Hotel (Dali Ancient City Pedestrian Street)

Beautiful hotel, clean and well decorated room. Best of all? The location is unbeatable. It's a 5 minute walk from the bustle of the Ancient City pedestrian street, and secluded enough that you don't hear the noise of the hustle and bustle at night. It's easy to get breakfast and dinner in the area. The price is also very good, paid $22.52 CAD since they had a first stay deal. I hope it can stay affordable! As a young traveller on a budget, this was a big reason why I chose this hotel. It may be important to note, for those of you who like to sleep in, that this hotel is right beside an elementary school. So on weekday mornings, the speaker system announces when the kids have to go to class, break time, etc. I was able to hear it from my room, but as someone who prefers to start the day early to get the most done, it was actually kinda helpful lol. The rooms are arranged in a Chinese courtyard style, with a viewing pool in the centre, which is absolutely gorgeous. If aesthetics are important to you 😉

Not cheap at all, close to center

Beautiful hotel, big and clean room. Helpful staff, even though they did not speak English. Would recommend!
