Dali Hotels with Airport Shuttle

"This is a wonderful guesthouse. In fact, it was my favorite accommodation of my 30 days in China. The family who run it are absolutely delightful - it's their home, where guests are made to feel very welcome. One family member speaks good English; another has a speed & dexterity on the translation app that is unparalleled; and everyone is extraordinarily helpful. I've never received so much kind assistance in a lodging before.. although the two little grandsons, aged 2 and 3, are still learning ;-) The location is just perfect. It's a few minutes' walk outside Dali old town's south gate. I soon discovered it's actually better to stay here than inside the gates, because there are more food options and fewer tourist shops in this zone. The guesthouse is located right between two streets that have many, many restaurants, plus numerous street stalls and even a few cafes, with places open from early morning until late at night. So it's the ideal base for enjoying the multiple delights of this very special city. Oh, and my room was great too, up on the third floor. I loved waking up to views of Mt Cangshan, sometimes topped with a cloud, sometimes clear. If I can return to Dali, I will request a room here for sure. Staying in this family guesthouse makes a magical place seem even more magical. :-)"

"A very satisfying stay! The hotel's location right at the north gate of the ancient city offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping out, you're immediately surrounded by authentic local eateries, offering a wide variety of delicious and genuine dishes. Unlike the tourist traps inside the ancient city, this area feels much more like a part of local life. The accommodation itself was clean and tidy, and the room was decorated to be cozy and comfortable. I especially loved the small courtyard – it was so pleasant just to sit there for a while. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, even proactively helping with my luggage, which was a really thoughtful gesture. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to quietly experience local life!"
