Bujian Shan · Muwa Hideaway T² Hide Bai Healing Courtyard (Dali Renmin Rd Branch)

在城裡天天對着鋼筋水泥，到了大理就想換個不一樣的——最好是那種老木頭、老房子的感覺。網上挑了好幾家，最後定的這家，到了一看果然沒選錯！ 石牆配着木頭房，看着就特別有味道，一點不顯得老氣。到店後我升級了語音房，住起來好方便，語音控制的，想開空調、拉窗簾或者開燈，喊一聲就行，不用來回跑。小院裏也種滿了花，待在這兒吹吹風，之前在城裡繃著的那股勁兒一下子就鬆下來了。 真心推薦，要是你也想在大理住點有特色的，這家可以試試！

My first impression: the hotel entrance is at the back of an alleyway, so I doubted it was the right place. However, upon entry to the main compound, it has well-maintained garden of flowers and a fountain. I had a night stay at this hotel. The room is comfy and spacious, albeit the entire place is not that massive — you can only imagine there were at most 6-10 family rooms in a double storey. It has sufficient amenities provided, fairly clean room and bathroom. The bathroom’s divider with the bed area is made of frosted glass, so it might concern some privacy if you’re staying with others within the same room. The room’s floor is made up of woods, thus it might get a bit noisy with its creaking sound. However, they’re aware of the circumstances, earplugs are provided. This hotel’s location is isolated from the ever-busy Dali town, retaining its serendipity. Yet, to go to the famous philosopher stone’s streets is only around 500m. The exceptional hospitality of its people is beyond me! The female cleaner, who knows a chunk of English words, was tenderly caring by providing me bottled waters and fruits each time I’m out of the room. She lifted my backpacks to luggage storage downstairs, and even extra bottled water. The receptionist guy, unassumingly on his first day of work during my time of checking in, is also accommodating, helping me to carry my things upstairs and sort out my room carefully. On my last day, I was rushed to go the train station and he helped to communicate with the DiDi driver about my circumstance since I couldn’t speak fluent Chinese. I’ll come back here again if I’m in China another time!

The room was comfortable and the hotel was well located in the old town, on a quiet street. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The only drawback was that the walls were quite thin, so noises could be heard from outside the room. To help with this, the host thoughtfully provided earplugs
