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

📍 No. 112 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan, Dali City

"I stayed for five days and was very satisfied overall! The sea-view room I booked was comfortable, and it was only a few steps away from Erhai Lake, so I could just stroll around whenever I wanted. The front desk staff were all very nice, there was free coffee that could also be delivered to the room, and the location near the city made ordering takeout very cheap. It was a very comfortable trip."

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★

📍 No. 388 Renmin Road, Dali City

"I stumbled upon this hotel on the platform, and its location is super easy to find. Just navigate to the popular restaurant "Ark Fatty," and the hotel is right next to it. The hotel is very new, with complete and well-maintained facilities. The whole smart home system is convenient and easy to use, and the environment is amazing! We had booked our previous hotel in another part of the ancient city, and the front desk staff even helped us transfer our luggage to this hotel. We were able to go and enjoy a full day at Erhai Lake and only came back to check in in the evening."

"The owner and the guys working there were super nice, and the restaurant they recommended was delicious. The kittens were incredibly cute, and the two puppies were endearingly goofy. It's a very quiet place with a great atmosphere. The rooms were also very clean. Many foreign guests were staying there too. It's not too far from the ancient city, just about a ten to fifteen-minute walk."

Pullman Dali ★★★★★

📍 No. 61-1 Erhe South Road, Xiaguan Town, Dali City

"Ms. Cindy provided excellent service. We heard she arranged a non-smoking room for us because we had children. We booked a deluxe room on the day of check-in, which was a bit disappointing, but thankfully, Cindy, the butler, made sure we had a pleasant stay. We were very happy with our stay."

"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!"

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! The location is incredibly convenient, and the B&B's service, environment, and views are absolutely top-notch! The coffee is also really good. Lying in bed watching the sunrise was incredibly comfortable, and we were even lucky enough to see the 'golden mountains' (sunlight on the peaks) for two days. Enough talk, just look at the pictures!"

The overall design featured warm, comfortable wood tones, and the spacious, airy feel, complete with a large bathtub. The cleanliness was impeccable, the layout was thoughtfully designed, and the quiet, calming atmosphere made it perfect for a relaxing vacation. Highly recommended!"

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel

"This stay was very comfortable. The hotel had a great ambiance overall, and the room was sparkling clean. The bedding was super comfortable to sleep in. The staff, Xiao Wei, was warm and attentive, responding promptly to any requests. The location is excellent, making it very convenient to explore the old town. I had a very relaxing holiday here, and the overall value for money is high. Definitely recommended."

Songyun Cliff Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Songyun Cliff Hotel

"A truly perfect trip! Here, I enjoyed sunny weather, stunning Erhai Lake views, and a fantastic large balcony. The room layout, including the full-length mirror, was exceptionally beautiful. What sets this hotel apart from others in Ideal State is its deep commitment to the Santorini, Greece-style design. While some other places might only have an exterior that fits the theme, with very ordinary interiors, this hotel extends that Greek Santorini vibe to both its facade and inside the rooms. You can even watch the sunset from bed! And the next morning, with a bit of luck, I captured some amazing 'blue hour' photos. The butler and hotel service were incredibly attentive; basically, anything I needed, the butler would take care of. The afternoon tea, with ginger-syrup drizzled waffles and other delicious treats, was also perfectly to my liking. Actually, I fell in love with this room when I first saw the hotel six months ago (yes, I even preferred it over others with pools!). So, I saved up and finally came today, half a year later. What can I say? I feel incredibly lucky. The weather forecast had predicted cloudy and rainy days for Dali, but the moment I arrived, it cleared up and stayed sunny until I checked out. Plus, it wasn't too crowded when I visited (it might be peak season later on). In short, I highly recommend it! If you're planning a trip to Ideal State, definitely come to this hotel and stay in this room!"

Dali Ancient City · Lian Tingfeng Atria Garden Boutique Stay Hotels in Dali City

Dali Ancient City · Lian Tingfeng Atria Garden Boutique Stay

"This hotel is so comfortable that I could easily spend hours in the courtyard, just relaxing and putting away my phone. It truly gave me the private time I needed to rest, far from work, electronic devices, and noise. I really cherished and enjoyed every moment. **Facilities**: The amenities are incredibly comprehensive! They have a wine and cigar bar, a regular bar, a pool, a coffee shop, and a gym – everything you could ask for. If I had more time, I'd seriously consider staying here for half a month. The rooms are beautiful too, with many different types to choose from. I picked a small suite with a courtyard and a private hot spring, and waking up to the morning sun streaming in was just pure bliss. It's also not too far from Dali Ancient City. A leisurely stroll over there as the sun sets to experience the bustling atmosphere is also very pleasant. It’s also very photo-friendly! I’ll definitely stay here again next time."

Xianyun Astrum Pool | Dessert · 360 ° Cliff Sea View Music Hot Spring Hotel (Dali Erhai Branch) Hotels in Dali City

Xianyun Astrum Pool | Dessert · 360 ° Cliff Sea View Music Hot Spring Hotel (Dali Erhai Branch)

"Back in Dali, I decided to revisit the Xianyun 360-degree Cliff Seaview Hot Spring B&B, and it truly lived up to expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive. I later found out that the humble and helpful manager, who was always ready to assist, was also from Beijing, which made me feel right at home. The B&B's environment is serene and immaculate. The private hot spring pool in the room is definitely the highlight. Soaking in the hot spring, you're directly facing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake – it's like a landscape painting come to life. During my downtime, I loved sitting on the balcony, gazing at Cangshan and Erhai, which was incredibly therapeutic after a long journey. The restaurant's dishes were delicious and flavorful. My experience was as excellent as ever, truly a hidden gem of a seaview B&B. Choosing to stay here twice speaks volumes about its reliable quality. It’s my top choice when visiting Dali, highly recommended! Amenities: Excellent Hygiene: Good Environment: Beautiful Service: Fantastic"

Honglongjing Hotel Hotels in Dali City

"The hotel's location is great. I booked a courtyard twin room, and the space was decent, though I'm not sure why the bathroom was designed to be open-concept – it wasn't very practical. It had a balcony, but it faced a wall. Otherwise, everything was quite good, and the breakfast was nice."

"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!"

Pullman Dali ★★★★★
"I have to give a five-star review to Pullman Dali, especially a huge thank you to our butler, Cindy! Even before our arrival, she proactively sent us the hotel handbook, a sightseeing map, and recommendations for local cuisine, which were all incredibly helpful. I was celebrating my sister's birthday, and Cindy went above and beyond by specially decorating the room and even providing a birthday cake. My sister was absolutely thrilled. The room offered great views, the dining was excellent, and the room service was attentive. The turndown service in the evening was a lovely touch, adding a sense of occasion. But what truly stood out was Cindy's meticulous and thoughtful service throughout our entire stay. Our overall experience far exceeded expectations. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Dali and highly recommend it to my friends. 🎂🌊"

"Choosing this hotel in Dali was an absolute stroke of luck! Its location right at the South Gate of the old town makes it incredibly convenient for exploring and dining – no need to drag your luggage far. The room quality is top-notch, with comfortable and clean bedding, and the soft furnishings create a wonderful Wabi-sabi ambiance. All the amenities are thoughtfully provided. The owner is incredibly attentive, offering super practical local travel tips, and services like luggage storage and tea/rest areas are all perfectly arranged. The biggest surprise was the rooftop terrace, offering unobstructed views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. You can effortlessly capture stunning photos of the sunrise and sunset – the panoramic view is simply breathtaking! It's perfect whether you're traveling as a couple or staying alone. I'll definitely be back to stay here on my next visit to Dali!"

Dali Yunyi Xinghe Meisu (Shuanglang Ancient Town Erhai Branch) ★★★
"The most reassuring guesthouse I stayed at. Soundproofing: Perfect. Returning to the room felt like saying goodbye to the noise. Shuanglang is so beautiful; I'm still replaying the sunset in my mind. I've heard most guesthouses aren't soundproof, but this one is fantastic. Perhaps because it's newly opened, the facilities and aesthetics are up to par. I slept very well, without a single sound. View: For this price, you get a view of the Erhai Lake sunset! Absolutely stunning. The room layout is a bit business-oriented, but the overall feeling is very good. Clean, clean, clean! Room: No problems. It's bigger than I photographed. My phone needs an upgrade. Being able to quietly enjoy the view is great, and my girlfriend liked it too. Service: The receptionist is also the owner. This is her home. She's very cheerful and responsive. The common areas are also nice. Parking is convenient, and it's easy to get in and out of the ancient town. It's also convenient to go directly to the highway and other places from her place. I'll definitely come back. By the way, Shuanglang is much more beautiful than the other side of the lake. The afternoon tea I had today was also beautiful. Overall, it was great!"
