Inns in Dali City

You can enjoy the beautiful Erhai Lake right from the hotel. The view outside is just as stunning as Longkan Wharf and the popular 'S' Bay, so there's no need to go anywhere else once you're here. There are even local photographers outside who can take great pictures. The hotel staff are excellent, and in the afternoon, they offer complimentary mini desserts like flower cakes, Pu'er wine, and a variety of beverages. The public areas are spacious, and the breakfast spread is fantastic, with both Chinese and Western options. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied!

I've been to Dali several times, but this is my first time staying in a traditional-style courtyard like this. The owner keeps the courtyard meticulously maintained, and there are two adorable little cats – truly an ideal cat life! They have a good variety of room types, and there's also a large terrace on the third floor where you can overlook the distant Cangshan Mountain. But the service here is what really stands out. Everyone affectionately calls the owner 'Sister Mo.' From booking to checking out, she was incredibly warm and friendly, offering many great recommendations for restaurants and touring routes that won't disappoint. In the mornings, you can even enjoy Sister Mo's unique Zajiangmian (Sichuan meat sauce noodles) breakfast, which perfectly suits a Sichuan palate. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit. It's very close to the ancient city but without the hustle and bustle, making it super convenient for getting around.

The landlady was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly welcoming and always went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. The guesthouse was impeccably clean; I even noticed how meticulously she organized her cleaning cloths in the utility room – she clearly takes pride in her work. The courtyard was charming, and the fish looked so vibrant and lively. It truly felt like a home away from home, allowing us to relax and unwind completely. Highly recommend!

I rarely write reviews, but I simply couldn't resist for this hotel – it's absolutely exceptional in every single aspect. The complimentary airport and train station transfers are a huge plus, and the service is incredibly warm and enthusiastic. They proactively help with all your luggage, big or small. The transfer vehicles are also very comfortable and spotless. Upon check-in, everything in the room is free except for the red wine – instant noodles, drinks, beer, water, coffee, yogurt, and Yunnan black tea are all complimentary. They bring a generous amount of fresh fruit daily, and there's 24-hour rice noodle service, which is a lifesaver for anyone not accustomed to local food; you'll never go hungry. Every evening, there's also tremella soup available. The front desk even has complimentary snacks, fruits, and flower cakes for guests to enjoy. And the room itself? Speechless. The videos and photos on their website are an exact, 1:1 representation of the actual rooms – absolutely no photo trickery. What you see is precisely what you get. The room is impeccably clean, and the array of amenities is extensive. My parents are usually quite picky about hotels, but they absolutely adored this one, praising everything from the room facilities to the balcony views and the spaciousness of the suite. They insisted that on their next trip to Dali, they must stay here again. And most importantly, the staff – from the front desk to the transfer drivers, the F&B team, the ladies who help with luggage, the gentlemen who deliver rice noodles and tremella soup at night, and the three cleaning ladies – everyone is incredibly polite, enthusiastic, and friendly. The owner of this hotel is truly fortunate to have assembled such a fantastic team. The hotel's location, combined with the suite facilities and the wonderful staff, makes for a top-tier experience. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone visiting Dali *must* stay at this hotel at least once – it's absolutely worth every penny!

This guesthouse is located on the edge of Dali Ancient City, nestled on a hillside, offering stunning panoramic views of Erhai Lake and the mountains. It's truly beautiful. The owner has decorated the rooms to resemble a Monet garden, filled with beautiful flowers and plants. Plus, it's super close to Dali Ancient City, making getting around very convenient. The front desk and staff are incredibly welcoming; they gave us directions and helped with our luggage. The breakfast lady was also very friendly, proactively asking us what we'd like for breakfast the next day and if we could tell her in advance. I genuinely love it here. It feels like a garden, like a castle. From the room, you can see the mountains and the sea – absolutely gorgeous!

This hotel with a sea view in Erhai exceeded all my expectations! The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a direct view of Erhai Lake, with stunning sunrises and sunsets right before your eyes. The room was clean and spacious, perfect for taking amazing scenic photos, and the cleanliness details were impeccable. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, and the breakfast was authentic and delicious. Stepping out, you're right on the ecological corridor – it's quiet, comfortable, and the perfect choice for a vacation. Excellent value for money, a definite must-book!

Nestled in Shuanglang Ancient Town beside Erhai Lake, this beautiful hotel's location was a pleasant surprise. Situated on Yuji Island, you can enjoy the shimmering waters of Erhai Lake from a lounge chair on the terrace – a tranquil oasis right at your doorstep. The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the hotel is filled with thoughtfully designed gardens and charming details, including a rooftop terrace perfect for photos! Beautiful scenery, the vibrant colors of Yunnan! Thank you to the butler for the attentive service! This is my first review on Ctrip, and I genuinely think this hotel is excellent! While my experience exploring Dali Ancient City was rather lukewarm, this hotel left a lasting impression.

I recently stayed here as a solo traveler, and this hotel was the highlight of my trip to Dali. The hotel is located directly opposite the South Gate of Dali Old Town - truly steps away from the ancient city walls, only 3-4 mins walk yet it's quiet at night. There are also many delicious local eateries all within a 2-minute walk and also foot massage place. After you explore and have tired feet, I highly recommend that place - only 2 mins walk from the hotel. Calling a taxi (DiDi) to any attraction is also very convenient. The hotel owner is an incredibly kind and genuine person. She made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Even though I speak very little mandarin, they made an effort to speak very slowly for me. The most memorable moment was when she invited me to join her and her friends for a home-cooked dinner at the hotel. As a solo traveler, that gesture of community was truly special and something I can't book on trip.com. This hotel made my Dali trip unforgettable. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Free parking outside the ancient city, the little brother will pick you up at the intersection. It's in the inner part near the sea. You can take pictures on the rooftop, which is good for physical strength. There is also breakfast in the morning, which is made by their local aunt, and it's super delicious rice noodles. Unlimited refills. It's also very convenient to go out in the town. When you walk out, you will see Yang Liping's Sun Palace, and on the other side is Nanzhao Fengqing Island.

I'm from Taiwan, and as soon as I entered the lobby, I felt the service of the owners. The weather was cold and there was heating ❤️. Sitting on the window sill of the accommodation, I could listen to the music from the bar opposite, which was great. It was also very convenient to go to the morning market for breakfast the next morning.
