My partner and I spend five nights at his hotel in late May. The hotel was clean, attractive, has great views, and the staff welcoming. My only problem was with the town itself. Anyone thinking of traveling there should know that the old town is over run with bars who compete for their clientele with loud amplified music. You hear... more

My mom and I were travelling through Yunnan with my 2 children and we chose this hotel because we wanted to be assured cleanliness and a nice spacious room. We definitely got both. Each room has heating and warm bedding. So, if it's a little chilly, you don't have to worry. In addition, the hotel has a very calming feeling... more

I loved this guesthouse as soon as I stepped inside. A stone Buddha sits on a low table with incense burning before it, Chinese art and antiques fill the dining area and main room. A traditional landscaped stone courtyard with koi pond and statuary lies further within. My room was simple but comfortable and stocked with tea leaves and hot... more

Charming Hotel. Staff is really nice and speak English. The view on the old city and back moutains is great. The only issue is the noise coming from all the bars downtown. Actually the sound is coming up like climibing the moutain....I think it concerns only the rooms localed on the upper part of the hotel. But there are the... more

We arrived at almost midnight and a hotel driver was waiting for us at the airport. We were with another couple so it wasn't easy to get four of us and our luggage to the hotel in one vehicle but they had a nice van and the driver was happy to see us. Breakfast was delightful with traditional Naxi music.... more

I stayed at this hotel during a trip in the Yunnan province. I was not sure where to stay and I decided to follow the reviews as it is ranked number 1 for the city. And I have to say that I was not at all disappointed. I said hotel but this would fit better in the high-end lodge or... more

Beautiful place, with lots of art everywhere: antiques in the rooms and halls, Naxi music at breakfast etc. There's noise coming up from the bars down the hill, but I doubt there's a place at Dayan Old Town where you can't hear those bars and KTVs. I loved the fact that it's up the hill, but I may be a... more

This hotel was very lovely. Although a bit expensive, it was worth it for the views and service. Request the 2nd floor. If you are willing to spend the extra money, the suite room#212 is great. We particularly liked staying on the hill, since it is too noisy within the old town - unfortunately you can still hear the KTV,... more

Originally, we had only wanted to stay 3 nights at Zen Garden (Lion Hill Yard) but ended up staying for all 7 nights once we saw the room and also the view outside the room. We had first made a trip to Zen Garden (Wuyi Street branch) to take a look and find the place very nicely decorated n cosy.... more
