Jim's Tibetan Hotel is a beautiful place and very colourful unlike other hotels which can be quite ‘standard’ in design. As we had heard that many places in Dali are very noisy we found Jim's Tibetan Hotel at a quiet street, about a 5 minute walk to the south gate of Dali. About the rooms: they have soft beds which is a big plus as most of the beds in China are quite hard and uncomfortable. Outside the rooms is a wide balcony where you can relax sitting outside. But they also have a garden and rooftop terrace with a great view over the Erhai lake and the mountains. We would surely recommend this hotel to anybody who is looking for a peaceful place with beautiful decorations. Last but not least we want to recommend the restaurant which serves good breakfast (homebaked bread!) and on the menu is Tibetan, Chinese and western food. In the end we stayed a bit longer than planned just because we liked the place so much!! The rooms are good value for money and start from 250 yuan.
