Guest review
10.0As Brian likes to say, ""Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar?"(有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎?) Sincere cultural immersion in the historic Bai courtyard home lovingly restored into the Linden Centre. While we narrowly missed Brian & Jennie as they attended business in Beijing (next time!) the entire staff welcomed us like family. Mason was kind and considerate with eloquent English and gracious manners. The rest of the team was a delight as well, from Ivy at the front desk to the warm & sweet housekeeper who went out of her way to show us how much she appreciates caring for guests. We were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary and her room decorations were gorgeous and thoughtful. We arrived without specific plans and the staff guided us to fill our days with both a deep understanding of the local culture and fun adventures in the stunning surrounding area. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Dali region! AAAAA
Liebevoll restauriertes Hotel in Toplage mit tollem Service.
10.0Es hat uns total gut gefallen im Linden Centre bei Brian, den wir sogar persönlich kennenlernen konnten, zu übernachten. Es ist wirklich beeindruckend mit wie viel Liebe er die Unterkunft im alten Stil renoviert hat und mit wie viel Engagement er die lokale Gemeinschaft unterstützt. Auch das Personal im Linden Centre ist extrem hilfsbereit und spricht gutes Englisch. Xizhou ist zwar mittlerweile etwas kommerzialisiert, jedoch immer noch eine tolle Lage, um den Erhai See und die Umgebung von Dali zu erkunden. Brian hat uns außerdem noch eine Wanderung in Shaxi empfohlen und wir haben das Linden Centre dort angeschaut. Eine eindrucksvolle Architektur mitten in der Natur, eine Übernachtung lohnt sich sicherlich.
− Es hat alles rundherum gepasst und der etwas höhere Preis ist unserer Ansicht nach vertretbar.
Amazing hotel for a stay near Dali.
10.0Great location - just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Xizhou. Good food, nice ambiance, cool bar area and relaxing tatami room. Great terrace overlooking the fields. Brian and Jeanne Linden were on hand. Very charismatic and passionate about their string of Linden Centre projects. So much so that when we left en route to Lijiang we called in for lunch at another Linden centre hotel near Shaxi which was stunning- if I came back to Yunnan - will definitely stay here. Like all Chinese towns Xizhou is overrun by tourists - but in the evenings or early morning it is simply delightful to walk around the town. We also hired bikes near the lake and had a fun afternoon cycling around. There are two sites in Xizhou and my son was able to access the fantastic gym and we saw people were taking part in the cooking school. Thoroughly recommend the Linden Centre.
− Nothing - it was all quite lovely.
Aussergewöhnliche schöne Unterkunft
10.0Wunderschöne Oase der Ruhe in einem historischen Gebäude. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Die Gastgeberfamilie Linden nimmt sich persönlich Zeit für ihre Besucher.
− Die Gassen in der Altstadt sind nachmittags stark frequentiert.
