The Bookworm Guesthouse (#1) is a very simple, but also very good value accommodation option right in the ‘foreigners’ area of Dali’s Old Town. There are just three rooms on the second floor of the building, all of which share the one bathroom. In between the rooms is a DVD viewing area and a pool table. Downstairs is a bookshop and bakery. The rooms are quite spacious and are generally priced around ¥50, though there is room for bargaining outside of peak season (¥30 is possible). Wireless internet access is available in the rooms. Staff speak fluent English and are helpful. The Bookworm Guesthouse is very basic, and it might not be kept perfectly clean, but it’s still very good value for money. Note that there is a second, larger Bookworm Guesthouse (#2) to the east on Renmin Lu.
