Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station)

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station)

📍 No. 112 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan, Dali City
★★ 9.2 (1,373 reviews)

"The hotel just right by the main road. Easy to be founded. It was really disappointed to climb up to level 3 with our 30kg bags. The room was spacious for us with a nice view. The staff brought the drinks to our room and help to order some food. We bought different room for the next day. Unfortunately we were told that the room was in another building. So we cancelled the room since it was not stated in the details when we did the booking. Other than that we got nothing to complain about."

★★★ 10 (33 reviews)

"The hotel's design is very thoughtful, and the room has a great view with a small balcony. I was pleasantly surprised since it was a last-minute hotel change. It's really suitable for unwinding. The owner is also very nice; not only did he personally make me a small pot of rice noodle breakfast, but he also drove me to the high-speed rail station. I'll definitely come again if I have the chance."

Dali Shanhaiyunjian Hotel (Dali Old City South Gate)

Dali Shanhaiyunjian Hotel (Dali Old City South Gate)

📍 Resettlement Area, Village Group 10, Nanmen Villagers Committee, Dali Town, Dali City
★★★ 9.4 (1,620 reviews)

"This hotel is nice and the price is cheap. They helped carry the luggage to the 3rd floor. There is a delicious shaokao at night nearby, like a market, lots of people selling fruits and food. I forgot to return the room key and brought it to Lijiang, Miss Wei gave me a solution to ask the hotel staff in Lijiang to help send the key instead of me having to pay a lot for a new card. Miss Wei was kind enough to help us order food with *******. I was really impressed with Miss Wei who is very friendly and helpful. She deserves five stars. The room is big and there are 2 types of slippers, one for the room and one for the bathroom. This is exactly what I needed because the bathroom floor was cold. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the property was well-maintained and tidy. The mattress was very comfortable, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to shopping, dining, and other necessities. One suggestion would be to include the hotel's Chinese address on booking platforms, as it could make it easier for Chinese-speaking travelers to use ride-hailing services. Overall, the hotel was very quiet and provided a comfortable and relaxing stay."

Honglongjing Hotel ★★★★★
"Very nice hotel located in the Ancient City, which does not allow cars in until after midnight. This was no problem as the excellent service was able to help carry our luggage in and out. The rooftop garden has a beautiful view. The pool is not heated. The room is spacious with two patios but has an open plan bathroom which may not be suitable for those who need privacy. More towels for the children would be nice. The beds are very comfortable. There is a lovely tea set with nice local Pu’er tea in the room and some welcome rose cakes were provided for supper. Very clean and there is attention to small details throughout the hotel. Overall a very nice hotel in a very good location."

"This guesthouse is in a fantastic location! It's right by Yuer Road, so it's easy to catch a taxi, and on the other side, you're on Renmin Road Pedestrian Street with tons of great food options. The owner is also incredibly welcoming and friendly. They helped us plan our sightseeing routes and even arranged transportation, which made everything so easy and stress-free – definitely no regrets! And the cats at the guesthouse are absolutely adorable."
