Dali Old City Shiyuanju · Bai Local Culture Experience Store Holiday Villa (Nanmen Store)

We booked Dali Old City Shiyuanju - Bai Local Culture Holiday for the our holiday in Dali. Shi Yuan Jun, the owner of the villa was most welcoming upon our arrival. She asked us about our itinerary in Dali and shared information about places of interest such as Old Town, helped us arrange our tours, booked the tickets for us and gave useful advice such as taking a bus instead of the bullet train.  Service in the villa was also good. The bottom of the washbasin leaked and we informed her about it on the way out. The problem was fixed upon our return.  We left Dali for Lijiang after three days. An hour into our bus journey, I received a message from owner informing that I had left my hat behind. I was thinking about possible ways to get my hat such as having a courier send it to me in Lijiang, which would incur additional cost.  Another way would be to ask owner to bring the hat to the bus depot and ask the driver making the next trip to Lijiang to bring the hat.  I was a little hesitant to do this as it would mean troubling owner to make a trip to the bus depot. To my surprise she agreed readily and made arrangements with the bus driver within half an hour. To cut the story short, I got my hat back that same night. Needless to say I was most impressed that she went out of her way to help although I had left the hotel. If you travel to Dali, please do consider Hotel. You will definitely enjoy wonderful service there.

Staffs are very friendly and the rooms were really clean. We came in early about 12pm, and the staff allowed us to check in early at no charge and even let us choose if we want the 2nd floor room or 3rd floor.. We were so tired from the travelling, that when they allowed us to check in early, we were able to rest and recuperate.. The area is walking distance to Dali Ancient City, so there are plenty of things to discover.. Overall we are so satisfied with our stay here as foreigners .
