Hampton by Hilton Dali Erhai Park
9.6 (4,260 reviews)

Hampton by Hilton Dali Erhai Park ★★★★

📍 No. 15 Yunling Avenue, Economic Development Zone, Dali City

"This mother-daughter trip, spanning 6 days and 5 nights, was generally quite good. The hotel is close to the high-speed train station, offers a rich breakfast, and the service attitude was excellent. The only issue is that my collarbone necklace, which I left on the table on the evening of the 8th, went missing. I didn't wear it all day on the 9th when we visited Weishan Ancient Town, and when I returned that evening, I couldn't find it anywhere. All my other belongings were in their original spots, but this necklace was nowhere to be found. I informed the front desk when checking out and asked them to notify me immediately if a housekeeper finds it during cleaning. I also mentioned that if I find it after unpacking my luggage at home, I'll let them know. Although the necklace isn't valuable, it's very important to me. Thank you! (Photos attached)"

Haiyawan Hotel (Dali High-Speed Rail Station Erhai Park)
9.4 (3,331 reviews)

Haiyawan Hotel (Dali High-Speed Rail Station Erhai Park) ★★

📍 Intersection of Guangfeng Road and Jinyun Road, Economic Development Zone, Dali City

"I was fortunate enough to stay here on a business trip to Dali. Before checking in, the front desk attendant upgraded my room. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with complete amenities and full smart controls. The hotel's location is also very easy to find, just a few minutes' drive from the high-speed train station, and there are many places to eat nearby that you can try if you have time. It was quiet at night, not noisy at all. I had a very pleasant stay!"

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City)
9.7 (1,183 reviews)

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★

📍 No. 388 Renmin Road, Dali City

"This hotel is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend Nianhuigui Hotel to anyone visiting Dali. The owner is incredibly welcoming and hospitable. I'll definitely be back next time! 💖💖💖"

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali
9.6 (1,301 reviews)

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★

📍 No. 15 Renmin Road, Dali Ancient City, Dali City

"Exceptional location, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service! The location of this resort is prime—it is hard to believe that such a peaceful and beautiful oasis is just 200 meters away from the East Gate of Dali Ancient Town. There are plenty of food options nearby, especially around the gate area. We experienced a minor room booking mix-up upon arrival. We originally booked the SUJING room, but the hotel assigned us to the YINJI room (B102), which was larger and even more beautiful. They kindly offered us to stay in B102 for both nights, but we still wanted to try our original room on the 2nd floor as well. That said, the YINJI room (B102) was absolutely fantastic—extremely quiet, comfortable, and highly recommended! Breakfast was rich in carbs, served in traditional Yunnan style. The young staff members were wonderfully attentive and helpful, using translation apps very effectively to communicate with us. Overall, a fantastic stay that I would happily recommend!"

Muyue · Envis Ter Baiyu Seaview Resort Scenic Homestay (Dali Erhai)
9.7 (102 reviews)

Muyue · Envis Ter Baiyu Seaview Resort Scenic Homestay (Dali Erhai) ★★★

📍 Building A2-1-015, Phase 2 (Zone B) , Cang'er Yingxiang Golden Coast Manor, Manjiang Area, Economic Development Zone, Dali City

"For summer vacation travel, this place is great value for money. I booked it on a whim, but it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable. The common areas are spacious, and you can even cook. It's also suitable for families. The courtyard has a lovely atmosphere. The whole house was spotless, and the facilities were new and complete. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's incredibly relaxing. This is definitely my top choice for accommodation in this area!"

9.5 (3,049 reviews)

HAWTHORN BY WYNDHAM DALI ERHAI PARL ★★★★

📍 No. 19 Yunling Avenue, Xiaguan Town, Dali City

"The view was amazing. Only catch is there's no lift and we need to climb the stairs. The hosts were helpful in bringing our luggage up and down the stairs."

Haiyawan Hotel (Dali High-Speed Rail Station Erhai Park) ★★
"The hotel's location is excellent; you can walk to Erhai Park, which has a tea garden at the top that's perfect for photos. It's also not far from the high-speed train station. Downstairs, there are plenty of snacks and delicious food options, and parking is convenient and free. If you want to enjoy the breeze by Erhai Lake, you can bypass the park. I booked a suite, which is perfect for a family."

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"The B&B isn't newly renovated in 2025 as advertised; the interior decor looked a bit dated upon arrival, definitely a case of misleading photos on the platform. My room had a small floor-to-ceiling window right next to the stairs, and I was shocked when a child coming down the stairs suddenly peered inside (I honestly didn't realize I needed to draw the curtains right away). The location in an alley isn't ideal either, and there's no view from the room. After looking around, I feel you could find better value for this price."

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"A Wonderful Stay Made Special by the People We are a group of six travelers from Thailand and booked three rooms for two nights at Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali. Our stay was truly memorable, and we were very impressed with the hotel. The location is excellent, and the rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and have a genuine sense of luxury. However, what impressed us the most was the people. From check-in to breakfast service, the staff were attentive, friendly, and communicated with us very clearly. They took great care of us throughout our stay. Most importantly, they went out of their way to help arrange transportation for our group to Dali Railway Station, which made our departure so much easier. We have also included photos of the two staff members who assisted us throughout our stay. We would especially like the hotel management to recognize them. They are kind-hearted, genuinely caring, and wonderful representatives of the hotel. People like them are truly an asset to the business. Thank you for creating not only a beautiful hotel, but also such warm and thoughtful hospitality. Experiences like this make Dali even more charming and give us another reason to want to return every year. With our sincere appreciation from Thailand, Manop & Darika"

"This ocean-view room was absolutely divine! The decor was incredibly luxurious, from the furniture and decorations to the wall design, everything exuded sophistication. The entire room felt brand new, like it had just been put into use, and everything was smooth and hassle-free. The room was incredibly comfortable; the soft, plush bedding made me never want to get out. The best part was the unobstructed ocean view right outside the window. The gentle, soothing sound of the waves was so pleasant, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the stars and the waves at night—it was truly a therapeutic experience!"

HAWTHORN BY WYNDHAM DALI ERHAI PARL ★★★★
"Location: This place is quite close to the train station; you can see it right after exiting, though you do have to cross a pedestrian bridge first. The location is super convenient for ordering food delivery, snacks, fruits, and even clothes, all of which arrive quickly. Facilities: The room isn't huge, but it's perfectly adequate and clean. There's also a cute little teapot for enjoying tea. The parking lot is a bit small, so you might have to wait to get a spot. Service: The front desk staff are very friendly and provide great service."
