The Jade Emu International Hostel Reviews

The staff is really friendly and helpful. I stayed in a 4 bed-room with shared bathroom. The room and bathroom were clean, but the bathroom was on a different floor and the shower wasn't the best. All in all I had a nice stay there though.

Really nice hostel, really helpful staff.. my sister needed a dentist and they sorted it out for her in a couple of hours.. good food/internet/atmosphere and location

The bar in the Hostel is more happening then the PUB outside :D ... & everybody are friendly (staff & guest). All staff speak English, and they surely assist us with what we wanted.

the staffs can speak very good English and were really helpful. There was a booklet introduction the services they provide. I really like the concept of "telling you staff anytime to clean the room", "asking the staff to adjust the location of router to have a smooth wifi access", "facebook" etc... the room is really new and clean. I really enjoy staying there! they also provide service of sending you to bus station if you wanna take the bus to lijiang or Kunming. Thats really convenient.

Nice hostel with a sunny courtyard, in which you can enjoy coffee or tea, pool games, and blah blah blah. Thanks a lot to the staffs. They are very nice. They helped us make the booking of the lake tour and arranged a car for us for the Cangshan trip. I will stay in this hostel for sure if I'd be back to Dali.

i like here and enjoy my time with friends like play pingpong, watch movie and so on, especially the staff Colin and Daisy are so nice. i recommend this hostel.

Very nice stay there, big and clean room (double),good breakfast, nice and helpful staff and manager, and really good internet connection!!! We really recommend this place!

amazing place

Super friendly little hostel- definitely prepared to go the extra mile to get to know their guests and to make them feel at home. The sort of place where everyone says hi to each other, shares a beer or plays pool - definitely recommend a stay here if you're in Dali.

good hostel, recommended. one of cleanest places i've stayed anywhere. really comfy beds, modern clean bathrooms. courtyard is cool, people always hanging out, drinking beer, playing pool, but not 'partying'. staff is helpful and fun. number of regulars (expat local - old & young) give it a specific vibe you'll either dig or not. only complaint is it gets really cold hanging in the courtyard, and there's nowhere else to hang. lacks a cozy place to chill, but lacks little else.

Great place to stay. The staff are so friendly, the pool table is the best in Dali. 5 minutes walk to town, but still remote and located in a residential neighborhood in Dali. I used this hostel as "home base" while I spent 3 days cycling around ErHai, spent 4 days up in the HigherLand Inn on the mountain, and spent 3 days at Tiger Gorge. The staff kept the place extremely tidy, the food is good and the people are friendly. The beds are heated, and huge. I would definitely recommend staying here

stay was awesome, friendly and helpfull staff fluent in english, a board with all the activities clearly explained comming with great discount ;). bed are wide as the room, the ensuite bathroom is very clean and soap and shampoo are provided. cross the road and you're in the old city. the only down side is maybe the lack of a large common heated place to share, the bar/reception in the courtyard was freezing at dusk but it's awesome to enjoy a breakfast with the sunrise. i highly recommend it

Stayed in 8bed dorm which was big and comfy though bad security as sliding doors locked together but slide open at each end so could still access the room, though lockers were supplied. Only 1 shower in the building for common use if using shared bathroom, more were avaliable if you didn't maind walking over the road to their sister hostel the jade roo. Good food menu and fun. If these issues were sorted would be perfect.

Convenient location, nice staffs. Rooms are normal, Shared bathrooms aren't really clean. Since the bar is just next to the rooms, it is a little noisy at night.

Fantastic burgers & very friendly owners! :)

We spent more than a week at the Jade Emu! They helped us a lot with our Visa extension! Best hostel in China, really clean, safe and fun! Thanks for the dumplings night!

A great hostel with very helpful staff. Located just outside of the old town all you have to do is walk across the road. Lots of helpful information about what to do with your time and more suggestions if you just ask the staff. Streaming the rugby world cup on to their big tv in the common area was really the good of them and made the stay there complete.

The staff were helpful and friendly, food was good and so was the location. A major plus was the selection of organised tours - our driver was friendly and competent and gave us a short tour of local houses and took us to see cormorant fishing. Well done !

the boss are kind, helpfull excellent atmosphere good bad fot sleeping :-)

Enjoyed my stay. Very helpful and polite staff, speak good english. Clean, big two bed room. Internet slow at peak times as everywhere. Location 10min per feet from downtown. If you look for a quiet and relaxing place to stay, come here. Also, they offer good trips to Dali's surrounding. I would stay here again. It's tempting to stay longer and choose their 1 month stay discount;-)
