No, it's not one of the Mama Naxi in Lijiang. This is brand new, and is managed by a former employee of Mama Naxi in Lijiang. It opened 27 days ago. It's beautiful, spotless, relaxed, friendly, a real gem. I am here right now and wanted to share. It's the most pleasant guesthouse I've been in all Yunnan. It's still smells fresh and new.
Joker is a very professional, friendly and helpful guy. There's always a smile of his face and he does everything he can to make you feel comfortable. He is a great source of information and can organize activities around Dali, from hikes in the Cang Shan Mtns, to Lake trips, to visit to minority villages. I am planning to stay here only for 2 days, but you could easily spend a week, here, and regenerate your energy. It's that type of a place. Obviously, I'm not selling any service and Joker is not currently holding a gun beside my head demanding me to write this thread. Look at my records and you can trust my opinion. I'm usually very critical of the places I stay, and seldom write anything good, but this time I have to make an exception. This place rocks.
If you are coming from Lijijang, he comes and picks you up at the gate of Dali Old Town for free.
Oh, I forgot. I spent Y40 per night, with my own room but shared bathroom. It was Y20 less than the Mama Naxi in Lijiang So, find this heaven and spend a few days here. Now it's the right time to come. If you wait a few months, this place will lose its charm. Carpe Diem!-----A guest who stayed here before recommended on the lonely planet.
This is the Mama Naxi in Dali offering the same services as the famous one in Lijiang. Competitive rates for clean comfy dorms, double and triple rooms. Quiet, convenient location with friendly, knowledgeable english speaking staff. Free internet and WiFi. Bike rental. Bus, train and airplane bookings. Discount tickets for local sights. Breakfast and family dinner. And much more services. There is a nice courtyard to sit and meet other people. Greetings form Joker and his staff !
