Apart from one mishap our stay was OK. The location is close to old town with all the shopping and eateries. The hotel has a good vibe and is somewhat comfortable. People at the desk were very friendy. However: Our scheduled transport to the train station, one hour away, was a complete failure on behalf of the staff. The driver did not arrive and the substitute was arrogant and left us stranded in a heavy downpour among perilous traffic. Very bad ending to what should have been a comfortable stay in Dali.
