Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station)
9.3 (1,578 reviews)

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★

📍 No. 112 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan, Dali City

"Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! ⭐️ The staff were excellent and very helpful throughout our stay. Even though they didn’t really speak English, they still made a great effort to assist us whenever we needed help. Really appreciate their patience and hospitality! 🙌🏻 For Muslim travellers, halal food is available around the area, but most halal restaurants are not within walking distance. You’ll need to take a DiDi to get to them, so it’s something to keep in mind when choosing this hotel. Other than that, the view from the hotel is beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of the stay. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend this hotel! 👍🏻"

Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★

📍 No. 66, Nanmenxin Village, Nanmen Villagers Committee, Dali City

"Turns out some connections really can span three years. My first trip to Dali in '23 led me to this guesthouse. Back then, I remember thinking the owner had so many cats, and that anyone who loved animals must be warm and reliable. And I wasn't disappointed! The room was exactly like the pictures, leaving me with wonderful memories. Three years later, I returned to Dali with my best friend, and to my surprise, I reconnected with the owner and found out the guesthouse had moved to a new location. The new courtyard is even cozier and more therapeutic than before. The room amenities have been significantly upgraded ✨, with a smart toilet, humidifier, and dryer – so many thoughtful details that made our stay comfortable and worry-free. The courtyard also houses over a dozen adorable cats and two small dogs who would always come out to greet us when we returned from sightseeing. It was incredibly healing. The housekeeper was also exceptionally attentive, proactively helping with luggage and recommending local, delicious, can't-go-wrong food spots and sightseeing routes. We even received fruit and flower cakes upon check-in. It wasn't that formulaic kind of service; it was a relaxed feeling that made you shed your fatigue and feel like you were returning to a warm, temporary home. If there's one regret, it's that I didn't set aside time to just stay in the courtyard, enjoy its tranquility, and savor life with a cup of tea. A good guesthouse truly adds so much to a trip ❤️"

"The front desk staff were absolutely amazing, and they even upgraded us to a lake view room. The room's view was fantastic, and the views from the gym and pool were even better! Every day, they'd leave a generous amount of fruit, some small desserts, and even face masks and steam eye masks in our room. The service was also top-notch – very proactive and incredibly enthusiastic. The breakfast spread was excellent too."

"The room facilities were excellent, and both the cleanliness and location were superb. It was very quiet at night, despite being on a street, thanks to the amazing soundproofing. The hairdryer dried my hair quickly, the bedding was very comfortable, and the ventilation and natural light were excellent. There was absolutely no odor in the bathroom. The service was incredibly enthusiastic. Definitely worth a good review, I'll be back next time!"

Nature Forest Mountain Inn (Ancient City East Gate Store) ★★★

📍 No. 34, Village Group 5, Dongmen Villagers Committee, Dali City

"Service: The service was quite good. Although there's no elevator, a staff member helped carry our luggage upstairs. We received complimentary snacks upon check-in and recommendations for local dining and entertainment. Coffee was available in the afternoon. Environment: I thought I had booked a hotel, but it turned out to be a guesthouse, even though I searched under the 'hotel' category. It differed from my expectations. The room decor wasn't quite like the photos; specifically, it lacked decorative wall art, the wooden furniture had mismatched colors, and there were water stains on the bathroom glass. It didn't really feel like a place that opened in 2024. Facilities: There's a washing machine available on the rooftop. The room lacked a desk, which was a bit inconvenient. A small tea table and two cushions on the bay window would be a nice addition. Surroundings: It's not particularly close or far from the ancient city and Erhai Lake. I'd recommend renting an electric scooter, otherwise, walking back and forth can be quite tiring. The picture shows the sunrise from the rooftop in the morning."

Spirited Silky Inn（ncient Dali City） ★★★
"This is hands down the best B&B/hotel I've ever stayed in! It beautifully blends Han Chinese and ******* styles, creating a chic yet substantial feel. The entire building is solid and grand, and the fish pond in the courtyard adds a touch of spiritual elegance. The room was also exceptionally clean. I didn't want to leave! Highly recommend!"

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"The environment and facilities are excellent, and the decor is very new! The location inside the ancient city is very convenient for exploring, and it's not far to walk to Erhai Gate, the city entrance. The room was very spacious – I've forgotten which room type it was – and I stayed for two nights. The bed was very comfortable, and so were the pillows. This was the best guesthouse experience I had during my trip to Yunnan. It offers excellent value for money, and the location is also great, very close to the ancient city. The projector screen is large, perfect for watching TV or movies if it's too hot to go out in the afternoon. The floor-to-ceiling windows are very bright, and two of them can be opened for good ventilation. On the second day, we shared a ride to Shaxi Ancient Town. The scenery was beautiful and incredibly peaceful. I really loved Shaxi; there weren't as many people as in Dali Ancient City or Erhai Lake, making it very pleasant to explore. It's quite a distance, but truly worth it! When checking out, the owner gave us two flower cakes, which were delicious! The owner was also very easygoing, and the front desk staff were very diligent and responsible. My personal recommendation: When visiting Dali, prioritize staying in the ancient city because it's close to all the attractions, and the main food, shopping, and bars are all concentrated there. You can go out to explore the surrounding attractions during the day and return to the ancient city at night to experience its vibrant atmosphere."
