We stayed at this hotel as part of the Yunan tour. Hotel overall is bit dated, but service was great. The SPA is definitely worth a visit. We checked in the hotel and was greeted by the owner. She's one of the early Taiwan investors and built the tallest hotel in old town before the city restricted building heights. She's... more

Thankfully we only stayed here for one night as part of our China tour. The hotel looked okay from the outside, inside was a open rising lobby to the roof. This was the first hotel in China to ask us for 100RMB as a deposit instead of a credit card. Fortunately our room was on the corner of the building... more

My wife and i were on a 21 day trip around China, staying generally in excellent hotels. The Asia star was simply one of the poorest hotels we have stayed at over the past many years. It was like a mausoleum, cavernous and cold. The bedrooms were undergoing some spraying with something that seemed very strong; the food was quite... more

When we arrived at this very big hotel we thought we were in for the usual impersonal big group experience. Seeing around 14 coaches in the carpark did nothing but manage our expectations. Traveling just the two of us we resigned ourselves to what lay ahead, easpecially when we heard there was a shuttle bus to the old town in... more

We stayed at Asia Star as part of our tour package to Yunnan. Asia Star is the vision of a lovely business woman from Taiwan. Asia Star is not what I would call luxurious, but it's pretty good for Dali. The hotel does appear to be a bit dated of what once was a very nice hotel. There are so... more

It was a regrettable mistake to ruin valuable holidays by staying here. The breakfast is not suitable for international guests and the garbage cans were being filled right next to the buffet table inside the breakfast room. We cannot advise you to drink the water supplied in the water machine is the room as when leaving our room we saw... more

This hotel looks like it began as an aspiring 5 star luxury hotel, but just didn't make it. When we stayed during the Nation Day holiday week, they only had a handful of guests (a tour group and some solo travelers that were with guides). I made the mistake of booking a lakeview room--it was actually more of a constuction... more

The first thing that we noticed about the Asian Star hotel was the beautiful lobby, which was full of comfortable chairs and fresh flowers and plants. Our room was pretty standard, but it was clean (the bathroom in particular was clean and spacious) We didn't have the best view from our window (overlooking some construction work) but we were not... more
