"Choosing the Songyun Banshan Hotel for my Dali trip was an absolute treasure! The pure white cliffside architecture creates an incredible atmosphere, and the unobstructed hillside views offer panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The infinity pool and cave cafe are perfect for stunning photoshopped-looking shots, and the hotel even provides a complimentary travel photoshoot. The rooms are clean and bright, with panoramic French windows and a viewing balcony. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the smart home features throughout the room are a thoughtful touch. Our butler, Allen, provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from handling our luggage to promptly responding to all our needs. The breakfast ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's a quiet and healing escape from the bustling city, perfect for couples or a girls' getaway. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dali. Highly recommend!"

Erhai Lake · Jingxi Courtyard Homestay (Ideal State Branch) Hotels in Dali City

Erhai Lake · Jingxi Courtyard Homestay (Ideal State Branch)

"I hope businesses seek truth from facts; say things as they should be, and don’t make false advertising about “sea view rooms”? ? ? I didn't sleep well the whole night. I was bitten by mosquitoes and the noise was loud. I didn't notice it during the day, but the noise was really torturous at night. The key point is that you can't find any customer service staff at night. No one solves your problems for you."

Both breakfast and afternoon tea were good and met expectations. The customer service manager, Daisy, also followed up promptly. Overall, I'm satisfied."

Songyun Cliff Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Songyun Cliff Hotel

"Songyun Cliff Hotel is my top choice when staying in Ideal Nation; it offers the best value for money in the entire area! The room facilities are complete and well-maintained, and the cleanliness is meticulous, making the room bright, tidy, and very comfortable to stay in. This is also the only hotel in Ideal Nation with a heated swimming pool, so you can enjoy swimming anytime. The resort has many slopes, but the hotel provides a shuttle service for transportation, which is very convenient. The breakfast offers a rich variety of dishes and exceptional flavors, arguably the best breakfast around. The cliffside restaurant boasts expansive views, perfect for photos. Housekeeper Ah Jun was very attentive and even arranged a custom outdoor BBQ, which created an amazing atmosphere. In summer, the mountain air is cool and pleasant, making it an excellent retreat from the heat. Overall, it was a superb holiday experience!"

At the same time, its garden-like setting offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, providing guests with a comfortable space to relax and enjoy a leisurely trip."

Yanxiu Mountain Residence Hotels in Dali City

Yanxiu Mountain Residence

"The navigation was accurate; turn right into a small alley just past the uphill section on the right-hand side of the street. I booked a sea-view room with a window at the Ctrip member rate. Traveling during the off-season, the price was excellent. The front desk staff member was proactive and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. Upon entering, there were three beautiful, somewhat bored but adorable cats in cages. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, who, though we only exchanged a few words, radiated elegance, warmth, and generosity. Both the interior design and the outdoor garden of the hotel offered a striking contrast, vibrant colors, a strong exotic vibe, and lush greenery. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and the bathroom featured a smart Toto toilet. It's essential to book a sea-view room; the mountains are visible as soon as you open the door, and the view is stunning from the window. It should be even more comfortable in winter, with lazy, warm sunshine greeting you early in the morning. It's not far from Dali Old Town, about 900 meters away, a little over a ten-minute walk. However, be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back, which helps with digestion and provides good exercise. The breakfast is a set meal, just the right quantity and well-balanced. The butler's exclusive service was especially heartwarming and thoughtful. Due to my medication, they specifically arranged for me to be served breakfast first. Such attention to detail truly shows their quality. If you get the chance, this place is definitely worth a visit."

Dali Harbour Hot Spring Hotel (Dali High-speed Railway Station) Hotels in Dali City

Dali Harbour Hot Spring Hotel (Dali High-speed Railway Station)

"I booked a room with a view, but it faced the main road and couldn't see Erhai Lake. However, it was very noisy, so I asked the front desk to change me to a regular room. The front desk was very helpful and arranged it immediately. However, the cleaning lady kept grumbling because the blankets were wrinkled. The new room was located through a long, dark corridor. It was very quiet, and the twin beds were quite large. It had been renovated, but the cleanliness was worrying. There was a large clump of hair, like from a sewer, in the towel on the floor. I asked the hotel to replace it. The bathroom seemed unrenovated and looked quite old."

"The environment here is absolutely top-notch, with an incredible ambiance. It's so antique and picturesque, truly inspiring. The tea room also boasts a fantastic setting. And the breakfast? Super exquisite. I told my friends, if rice wasn't a factor, I'd stay here for a whole month! As for the service, the owner is incredibly warm and welcoming. They thoughtfully explained the local routes, kindly helped with our luggage, and even surprised us with a souvenir. This place is definitely highly recommended!"

Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay ★★★★
"The room was spotless and very comfortable. It had a sleek, modern design, exactly my style. Smart controls added to the convenience. The room was also very spacious. Although it was a bit pricier than other places nearby, I found it to be absolutely worth it. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are: no power outlet under the desk, which made using a laptop a bit inconvenient, and no clothes rack in the bathroom. Opening the window revealed a mountain view, and outside the door were charming farmhouse landscapes – it was so peaceful and lovely. There were sunflowers right by the entrance. I especially want to commend the staff (both male and female) for their excellent service; calling it five-star service wouldn't be an exaggeration. They gave great travel recommendations, suggested places to eat, and offered comprehensive touring advice. Breakfast included coffee and tea, and there were even late-night snacks and bedtime desserts. I absolutely loved it. My younger sister really enjoyed playing with their dog. The large map at the entrance was fantastic – a direct guide to local attractions and activities."

Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel ★★★★
"One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Yunnan. 🤍 We had such a wonderful stay at SONGYUN Follow Your Heart. From the moment we arrived until checkout, everything felt peaceful and thoughtfully prepared. A special thank you to our butler, Eric, for taking such good care of us. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, Google Translate made everything easy. Eric was incredibly patient, friendly and always ready to help. What I loved most: ✨ Beautiful modern design. ✨ Spotlessly clean. ✨ Quiet and peaceful — perfect if you’re looking to slow down and recharge. ✨ The staff even carried our luggage all the way up the stairs to our room with a smile. ✨ 24-hour buggy service was a lifesaver because the area is quite hilly. It made getting around so much easier. ✨ I also loved the music player in the room. The relaxing Chinese music created such a calming atmosphere after a long day exploring Dali. Sometimes it’s not just the hotel that makes a stay memorable, but the people behind it. Thank you, Eric and the entire team, for your warm hospitality. If we ever return to Dali, we’ll definitely choose SONGYUN Follow Your Heart again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, healing getaway. 🤍"

The room was very clean, and I could enjoy the distant mountain scenery right from the bed, which created a fantastic atmosphere. Our housekeeper, Xiao He, provided attentive service throughout our stay, patiently helping with any issues we had. It was a very comfortable trip to Dali, away from the hustle and bustle, allowing us to relax peacefully. Highly recommended!"

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was spacious, though a bit far from the old city, requiring a taxi. What impressed me most was the breakfast – it was incredibly rich with a huge variety of choices. The hotel surroundings were nice, but you'll definitely need a taxi to get around. They even gave us flower cakes after check-out, which was a lovely touch."
