强烈推荐老故事客栈
环境优雅，古色古香，店员服务态度特别热情友好，客栈提供的免费自助早餐丰富可口。

8/10 Very good

第一次进房间有一股味道，感觉像是马桶里冒出来的，然后前台给换了房间，晚上的热水不太热，第二天才知道那天晚上的热水有问题，洗了个冷水澡的感觉。到了第二天细想不对，我预订的房型跟实际房型好像不太一样，总共入住两晚，到了第二晚才发现，跟前台理论了蛮久最后终于又换房了，总体是有点折腾的，环境还可以，就是雨季天气潮湿，感觉房间哪里都是湿的。这个酒店提供了免费的火车站接站服务，最后一天准备走的时候还有书吧可以休息，环境非常不错，就这个可以点赞了，毕竟等时间去火车站有点难熬无处去。总体来讲还可以

Nice
The hotel is a little bit away from the old city of Dali. It's in the end of a deep alley. It has two individual buildings which are not very far from each other. We booked a family room with two bunk beds. Surprisingly, they are quite comfortable through. Our room is not spacious and the bathroom is the smallest one we have never seen. Your shower head is basically right above your toilet seat. The mirror in the bathroom is like kid size as well. All in all, if you are on a budget, this is the place to stay. BTW, the hotel does offer a free breakfast daily.

ロケーションは抜群
バックパッカーが多いと聞いていたがそうでもなくよかった。２部屋予約で浴槽のある部屋があるので決めたが１部屋は浴槽がなかった。残念。冷蔵庫はないが真夏ではないので取り立てて不便はなかった。ロケーションは抜群によい。ただしわかりずらい。

2/10 Poor

I would not recommend this place to my friends.
Very frustrated. (1) The Inn could not located my hotels.com reservation. It seems to be some disconnect in the systems. (2) The room type "Holiday" I booked thru Hotels.com does not exist. (3) After 20 min of waiting and negotiating, they finally gave me a very last room available which was similar to what I booked. But the room is nowhere close to "323-sq-foot (30-sq-meter) room with garden views". (4) The bathroom has no partition for the shower area and the toilet. The bathroom (including the toilet and the floor) is all wet after shower. (5) The lighting in the room is very dim, (6) The TV program does not work (due to internet connection failed), (7) The in-room phone set is broken, I could not communicate with the front desk. Overall, it is bad experience.

Cultural hotel
Wifi is non existent, wasn't able to log in. Front desk person was very annoyed and rude bc we spoke English and she had to translate on her phone app. She didn't return our 100 yuan deposit until I asked for it. The hotel had a lot of history and set in a traditional setting with nice courtyard and rooftop view. Location is good if you like to stay in old town. Price is reasonable.

1) 衛浴設備虛有其表, 漂亮但無法順利排水, 有浴缸, 但不太能泡... 2) 就費用來說, 並沒有特別便宜, 結論: CP 值普普 3) 唯就地點而言: 非常接近古城南門及文獻門, 還算鬧中取靜的好地點

施設はイマイチ。
建物の構造の関係で部屋の中に廊下の人の声が聞こえ、外からは春節時期だったこともあり、爆竹やバイクの通行音が深夜まで聞こえるなど、部屋の中にいても落ち着けなかった。 また、部屋のカードキーが夜間に、不定期に何度も音をだし、耳障りだった。 窓が小さく採光が悪い点や、シャワーを浴びるとトイレがびしょびしょになる配置は、アジアの一般的な宿泊施設ではよくあるが、春節だったことを勘案しても価格はかなり高額で、価格に見合う一定以上の施設レベルを期待していたため、コストパフォーマンスは期待値よりかなり低かった。

かわいいデザインホテル
大理古城の南門から徒歩１０分ほどのところにあります。 本館と別館があり、私は別館に宿泊しました。 部屋はトイレ、シャワーなどの水回りが比較的新しく 赤を基調としたデザインでした。 3日滞在しましたが、快適に過ごせました。 ただ、初日の夜に何度か停電があったりしましたが 何とか復旧したりと小さなトラブルはあるかもしれません。

特色酒店
老故事客棧設計具大理風情，對南方來的遊客們應具吸引力，員工服務態度熱情主動，值得讚賞！ 性價比高！ 步行至大理古城只需約十分鐘路程。 缺點是客棧位於內街，有點不太好找，停車位不足。

Pleasant Inn just outside ancient city
Very friendly staff but no english spoken. We lucked out as Matti, a hotel employee from Beijing, was working at the hotel for two of our days and was extremely helpful. Also a big thank you to Mr Jack, the transportation manager, who with the help of his phone with an English translation app, suggested and arranged and drove us to interesting places. A most enjoyable stay. A translation app would greatly enhance a trip to China.

大理古城まで徒歩10分
2日間宿泊しました 古城南門まで10分程度でアクセスは良い　大理駅919バスの終点からはかなり離れており徒歩では30分は掛かると思います。雲南省はgogglemapが使えないため方向感覚がわからず、たまたま親切な現地の若者に教えてもらい最終的にはTAXIで到着しました。 従業員の周さんにかなり助けられました。英語がよくできる25歳の若者 感じのいい子です 遠い場所ですがまた大理には行きたいです
