Yi's Hostel is located in Shangri-La, close to Dafo Temple. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

Yi's Hostel is a 10-minute walk from Guishan Park and Moonlight Square. Walking Street is a 15-minute walk away. I really like my room, I absolutely love this style of furnishing. I also really appreciated the electric blanket. In the reception area, one can sit comfortably and meet other travellers. The location is absolutely amazing, right in the old city center. I did all my sightseeing by walking from the hostel.
