xuzhenliuThe room facilities are complete, with great attention to detail, and all the amenities are from good brands. The breakfast is rich and varied every day. The service is incredibly warm and attentive, and the airport shuttle service is also excellent. It would be even more perfect if there were dedicated non-smoking cars (no smoke smell in the car + driver doesn't smoke). I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

We stayed with Sister An at Dali Old City Sushe Boutique Inn for 4 nights. Her comfortable inn offered a fantastic mix of home and resort, providing a relaxing retreat after the busyness and urbanity of Kunming. Our 6-year-old daughter absolutely loved the property. The fish in the central pool, the cozy coffee shop lobby, the swinging pavilion across the glass bridge, and the upstairs mountain view deck kept her thoroughly entertained. Sister An’s inn was just perfect. Every morning started with a wonderful breakfast of eggs, tea eggs, free-flow coffee and tea, a variety of buns, millet porridge, and pickles. Furthermore, Sister An provided timely advice on transport, sightseeing, and local holidays. From the moment we booked a few days before our arrival, Sister An maintained constant communication via WeChat and a translation app to coordinate our arrival time. She even sent a complimentary driver to pick us up at the train station, which sat about a 30-minute drive from the hotel's central location in Dali Old Town. She also responded within minutes whenever we had a question throughout our stay. She is the true gem of this hotel.
Some highlights of our stay included:
The Public Areas: Excellent spaces, including the upstairs view decks.
Convenient Amenities: Free washing facilities (essential for our month-long voyage with a party of four), a microwave, a mini-fridge, and ample closet space.
The Suite Layout: The divided rooms gave our brother his own private space, complete with a sliding glass door, desk, and privacy curtain.
The Bathroom: A powerful, beautifully hot shower with both handheld and rain options.
Location & Value: An economical price for a very central location close to all the sights and restaurants of Dali Ancient Town.
Bonus: Sister An whips up a very delicious latte!
Because we ran out of time to do everything we wanted in Dali, we will definitely be back—and we will absolutely stay at this hotel again!

YoYo_5566Extremely, extremely satisfied! So much so that I extended my stay for a few more days in the same room! The view is absolutely amazing! Both the balcony and the master bedroom offer breathtaking sea views, and the clouds change every day, which is incredibly relaxing to watch. Breakfast is a buffet on the top floor; the selection isn't huge, but there's a good variety within each category, and it all tastes great! The room is fully equipped, meticulously clean, and full of thoughtful details! When I arrived, they picked me up from the train station, and hotel staff were already waiting in the basement. Besides breakfast, they also offer afternoon tea and fruit daily. If you miss breakfast (which goes until noon) and get hungry, you can tell the staff, and they'll bring noodles or rice vermicelli to your room. The service is incredibly attentive, and the staff are always ready to help. Highly recommend!

Guest UserThey say that in an unfamiliar city, the first place you encounter is the hotel or guesthouse, making it your first impression of the city. My stay here was a delightful surprise, far exceeding my expectations. We only spent half an hour choosing this hotel. Its location is excellent, making travel convenient, and the surrounding area is quiet and clean. Bright and airy, there's no noisy or bustling atmosphere at all, making it perfect for relaxation and short-term stays.

They even provided a local guide with recommendations for delicious restaurants! I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit.
The room was clean and airy overall, with excellent ventilation and natural light, and the hygiene was impeccable. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the pillows and mattress were just the right firmness. I could relax quickly and completely unwind from travel fatigue the moment I lay down. The bathroom had a wet/dry separation, toiletries were clean and well-stocked, and the hot water was stable and plentiful. The room facilities were new and in perfect condition, with soft lighting and a logical layout, full of thoughtful details that created a wonderful living atmosphere.
The hotel's common areas were clean and elegant, the corridors were spotless and odor-free, and the overall environment was tranquil and comfortable.

Anonymous UserFree 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.

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective!
The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.

FeiyangtantianThis is my third visit to Dali, and this time, instead of just passing through, I stayed for two nights at the Meishan Inn. The inn is a tranquil oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, with very comfortable rooms and a beautiful courtyard. They also have friendly cats! The owner's service was exceptionally thoughtful and attentive, making sure everyone was well looked after. The breakfast was plentiful, and I made sure to have a bowl of rice noodles every morning.

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.

Guest UserWe rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages.
However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang.
After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!
