Hotels in Lower Section of Erhai Ecological Corridor, Dali City

I don’t usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves one - it was an outstanding stay from start to finish. The service was the highlight of our trip. Every staff member was considerate and attentive, especially the twins, who tried their best to communicate with us despite the language barrier, making sure we had everything we needed. It started the moment we arrived: they picked us up right from the Didi drop-off point (just message them when you arrive and they’ll come get you immediately), helped carry our luggage to the room, served a complimentary afternoon tea with a view, and even upgraded us to the best room in the hotel. The room itself was stunning, with views of Erhai Lake day and night. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had an automatic toilet, and they provided thoughtful amenities and water. If you want fresh air, there’s a lovely cafe just downstairs where you can relax by the breeze. The location is ideal too - close enough to the train station by Didi, yet far from the crowds of the more touristy spots. You can easily walk to rent a bike or scooter / get on a tourist electric car and explore nearby attractions during the day. In the evening, the street in front of the hotel comes alive with musicians and people enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, an everything quiets down by 9 pm. We didn’t have time for breakfast before our train, but the staff kindly packed us a meal and hot milk to take with us. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a stay by Erhai Lake.

Beautiful lake view room with everything that you need. Located about 15km away from Dali old town and next to the boardwalk next to the lake. We wished that you could’ve rented bikes there, but unfortunately not.

This lakeside hotel is a perfect 10, highly recommended! The lake-view twin room was spacious with a chic and elegant decor. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom featured a well-designed wet/dry separation. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a direct view of the entire lake; even on a rainy day, the misty mountains and water created a breathtaking scene with an incredible viewing atmosphere. The hotel amenities are excellent. The breakfast restaurant is clean and bright. They have self-service washer-dryers, making laundry super convenient for travelers. The small gym is well-equipped for a relaxing workout. Room details were thoughtfully designed, with reasonable lighting and storage layouts, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a very peaceful rest. The staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was efficient. The frontline lake view is stunning, and you can walk right down to the lake. It's suitable for both vacations and business trips and offers superb value for money. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

[”Facing Erhai Lake, with the airport and high-speed rail station to the east.”,”Erhai Lake right outside when you draw the curtains! Unobstructed, frontline sea view. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from bed. The room was clean with no strange smells, and the bedding was comfortable. The owner was enthusiastic and even helped carry our luggage. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”,”Exceeded expectations! Although we booked a standard mountain view room, the sea view from the garden courtyard was just as good. It was quiet and comfortable. Our family enjoyed an afternoon tea there, feeling relaxed and at ease.”,”The hygiene was excellent, and the smart facilities were comprehensive. The concierge thoughtfully recommended a环海 (around-the-lake) route. There's indeed a morning market in the village alleys where you can find fresh fruit, a pharmacy, a supermarket, and more.”,”The location is right by Erhai Lake, just a few steps from the ecological corridor. The sea-view room has amazing natural light and is quiet. It's great value for money, and the owner is super nice! They invited us to try their private tea and chatted with us. So grateful~”,”We booked 3 rooms consecutively and didn't want to leave. The breakfast rice noodles were delicious, and the front desk lady was patient and thoughtful!”,”✍️ True to detail: The room was well-organized, and even the disposable slippers were in clean bags. The owner personally came to pick us up at the village entrance, helped with luggage, and even drew a hand-drawn 'around-the-lake' guide. Full marks for the experience.”,”📸 Sharing beautiful photos of San Sheng Island”,”Even though we encountered the rainy season during our time in Dali, it didn't affect our good mood for the trip. We were initially looking forward to the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake – waking up early to watch the sunrise and waiting for the pink-orange sunset in the evening. Instead, we saw a different kind of beauty in Erhai Lake, with a beautiful ink wash painting style landscape.”,”All worries disappear with the breeze 💙 #DaysByErhaiLake”,”Highly recommend this guesthouse by Erhai Lake! The sea-view rooms open up to the sea, 100% photogenic.”,”Some rooms are just 3 meters from the lakeside. The service is as warm as a friend's. I'll definitely come back to Dali and stay here again! #Dali”]

I'm a local and I stayed at Sanniu Island with my child during the off-season. This hotel offers great value for money and allows you to enjoy the lifestyle around Xindi Cafe. Compared to similar hotels, it's quite affordable. It's separated from Erhai Lake only by a lush, flowering green belt, so there's no noise from crowded corridors!

The hotel is awesome, very close to the city and a five minute walk to the beach. The hotel is spotlessly clean, everything is new and newly renovated, and the bed sheets are so white that I dare not sit on them. The boss is super nice. He helped me buy tickets, gave me travel advice, and was always there to help me when I encountered any small difficulties. I didn't want to get up in the morning, so my dad took the kids to play at the beach. It was really nice. The bath water was so hot. There were supermarkets and restaurants everywhere at the door. You can walk to a big shopping mall. I'll stay here again next time.

The front desk service of the inn is very good, responsive and enthusiastic. There is a washing machine, dryer and ironing machine on the top floor, which is convenient to use. The top floor also has a beautiful sea view suitable for taking pictures. Breakfast is also provided. It is also very close to the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor. You can see the beautiful sea view in the room. You can watch the sunrise in the room in the morning. Walk out of the inn and face the path to the edge of Erhai Lake! ! On a sunny day, the scenery of the room and the entrance of the inn is really beautiful as shown in the picture. It is also very convenient to travel and play. There are also many choices for eating around. The room is clean and sanitary, and the disposable toiletries are also super complete. It is super worth recommending and I will come again next time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dali is our first stop to Yunnan. The hotel is in the village and it is easy to find by navigation. The door is very beautiful! The bedding is very comfortable, there are not many varieties of breakfast, but it tastes good! The proprietress is very beautiful, very warm and kind, there is a boy with glasses who helps us before and after! Mainly one responsive. Parking is not very convenient. If you drive, you must contact the hotel in advance and let them leave a parking space! Is mint fried ribs a signature dish in Yunnan? It's delicious!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, informative, and extremely helpful, even though we could not speak Mandarin. They always made an effort to assist us and ensure we were comfortable. The room was clean, tidy, and well maintained. The location is also excellent, being very close to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, which made it convenient for us to explore the area. The breakfast was diverse and healthy. It was a great way to start each day. We were very happy to have the opportunity to rest and relax here. We would definitely stay again if we have the chance to visit the area in the future, and we will gladly recommend this hotel to our friends and family.

This time I stayed at Da Bing's cabin in Youth Park and had a great experience! The location is excellent, the surrounding transportation is convenient and the scenery is pleasant. The hostel has a warm atmosphere and is as comfortable as home. The room is clean and tidy, with complete facilities, comfortable bedding and a very peaceful sleep. The public areas are thoughtfully decorated, making it easy to make friends. The boss is hospitable and provides a lot of practical travel suggestions. Here, I not only had a comfortable stay, but also gained unforgettable memories. The price-performance ratio is very high, highly recommended to all hikers! Moreover, you can directly see Erhai Lake from the third floor, which is especially suitable for watching sunrise and sunset!
