Holiday Inn Express Dali Xiaguan by IHG

Breakfast has limited variety of food. Location is 15 minutes drive from the Dali Railway station. Surrounding areas has limited eateries/restaurant.

The dali city made the property unreachable. The property itself is excellent.

It’s great

Room was nice, but not the best place to stay. The problems were as of the time of this review they are still fixing the road, so you can't call a car from the front, you have to take a walk around the corner which is an inconvenient place for the driver to pick you up. Apparently, this road has been under construction for the last 5 years, and the locals I spoke to think it will be the same for a few more years. Other than that, the breakfast was revolting, the bread was hard around the edges, the eggs had a metallic smell to them which I didn't dare eat, and the one mouthful of coffee I did have immediately got spat back out, really not good. Couldn't even eat the bacon, and as I walked out of the dining room most plates had a substantial amount of food left on them. Ended up just ordering breakfast from outside after the second day. Lastly, I thought it was pretty poor form to charge people upwards of 25 yuan to use the washer and dryer when most hotels that are actually cheaper just let you use the laundry facilities for free. Anway the room is fine if you need to be in central Dali but other than that go to Gucheng instead.

Staff is very excellent in customer service. Very talented and very intelligent 👌 👏 👍.
