Pet Friendly Hotels in Yunnan, China

I’ve rarely ever felt so welcomed by hotel staff as during my stay at Mulanyu Tangsu Hotel. From being offered freshly brewed Yunnan tea upon arrival, to booking attraction tickets through WeChat for you, and even pouring out a local fruit wine in the evening the 老板(s) really seem to care and it shows! The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Lijiang old town, yet secluded enough to be quiet. Only finding the place can be a bit of a struggle. Regarding the room I can’t fairly assess the price/value because I got a free upgrade. That being said, the room I got upgraded to was fantastic with all the amenities you could wish for. Due to how communal the place feels in the evenings, I also met a number of other travellers that I connected with. So if you are a solo traveller looking to spend an evening with company, this is yet another reason to come here :)

Staying at Honglin Pavilion Inn in Dali was an absolute gem! The facilities and amenities were top-notch, far exceeding my expectations, and truly enhanced my trip. The inn's location is incredibly convenient. Step right out into the ancient city's streets, and a stroll to Erhai Lake is just a few minutes away. Walking into the courtyard was a breathtaking experience; it's designed in a classical Chinese garden style, with rockeries and flowing water complemented by vintage lanterns. The common areas feature incredibly comfortable rattan chairs and tea sets, and they even provide complimentary tea and utensils. In my free time, I'd brew a pot of tea and enjoy the scenery – it was so relaxing I didn't want to leave. All in all, the stay brought immense happiness. Next time I'm in Dali, I'll definitely choose this place again!

We had an excellent two night stay at this hotel. The owner kindly came to the airport to collect us. The room was large and nicely decorated, with heated floors and an oxygen machine if you needed. We had the option of staying on the 2nd or 3rd floor and I think they upgraded us at check in to a room with a balcony. It was lovely to be welcomed with tea, fruit and pastries on the balcony. Breakfast was good, we had a bowl of noodles each morning. The location is slightly outside of the old town but only a 5-10 minute walk. I would highly recommend this place.

Really beautiful traditional style building on the edge of the ancient town and close to a main road for ease of getting taxis. Room was modern, clean and very comfortable. Service was a little odd; no one came to change the room during the whole stay and there was no mention of whether I had to request it especially in the wechat customer service welcome. But this wasn’t a huge issue. A possible issue for other travelers with large luggage might be the lack of an elevator. Otherwise, perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

I brought my children to Luoping to see the rapeseed flowers. This is a very distinctive hotel. The service provided by the front desk lady is very good, proactive, enthusiastic, and friendly. The room lady greeted me with a smile, and I felt at home. The room is very spacious, the decoration is also very delicate, reasonable, and clean, and the bedding is very comfortable. The breakfast has many varieties and tastes good. The restaurant staff took the initiative to help the children serve breakfast. It is worth recommending. The hotel staff is so excellent, and the hotel leaders must be excellent too.

We stayed at Manshanlai for two nights during the National Day holiday. Before going, I was a bit worried because our group was quite large, with eight people including my parents and children. I spent a long time carefully selecting a guesthouse among the many options in the Yuanyang Terraces. Choosing Manshanlai turned out to be the right decision! We had a very pleasant experience; the scenery is beautiful, the food is delicious, the living conditions are excellent, and the service is also very good. Both the seniors and the children were very satisfied and insisted that I give it a five-star rating!

Overall, the hotel offered a great experience. For those nitpickers complaining about outdated facilities, it's a 10-year-old hotel that's been maintained exceptionally well. If you want new, go stay in a formaldehyde-ridden room! The lobby is quite unique and grand. Check-in was smooth with a butler who made communication and problem-solving easy. I forgot to close the screen window when I went out, worried about bugs, and it was sorted instantly via WeChat. The room size is ample, and the balcony view is nice. The bedding is good, and the pillows are comfortable. They even provide bed rails for those with kids. Beyond that, it's a standard, excellent star-rated hotel. There's a courtyard in front of the lobby for relaxing. My wife wanted to try local specialties like Xidoufen and Barener Si, so we skipped breakfast, thus no comment on that. This is also one of only two Tesla Supercharging stations built at hotels in Dali (the other being Junfa Pullman). Tesla isn't stupid, they choose their locations wisely. The location is good, at the foot of a hillside, very quiet. It's very close to the three cableways for Cangshan. For exploring the western route (Dali Ancient City, Xizhou Ancient Town, Hai She Park), this is the best place to stay.

Very Nice Hotel with Friendly and Helpful staffs! Staffs helped to carry luggages up and when leaving, help to carry as well to car. Many shops around and it's inside Gu Zheng but car can still drive in! Plus point for location! Staff was nice and WeChat before we arrive and wait for us at the entrance and bring all our luggages down!!! Room is big, plentiful of bottle water and also us to feel free to take! And yes they have oxygen on request if you need! Just use wechat to communicate with them! Very easy! Will love to be back in this hotel!!

Cleanliness: Very clean Facilities: Very new and modern Environment: Comfortable Service: Excellent It's very close to the ancient town, just a few hundred meters walk, and not too far from the snowy mountains. The price is also very reasonable. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time.

One of My Best Stay Experiences—Authentic & Unforgettable This was one of my most memorable hotel stays, and I’ve stayed at many top-tier, five-star hotels around the world. While this may not be the most luxurious in terms of facilities, it more than makes up for it with its genuine charm and warmth. The owner was incredibly friendly, making us feel like we were staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. This welcoming vibe perfectly complements the enchanting atmosphere of this beautiful ancient city.   The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially from our top-floor room. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience, offering a spectacular panorama of the old town and surrounding mountains. The location is ideal—perched on a small hill, it provides an elevated vantage point for those stunning views, though the short uphill walk may be a slight effort due to the altitude. But trust me, it’s worth it.   If you’re visiting Lijiang to immerse yourself in its relaxed beauty and rich culture, there’s no better place to stay. I originally booked for three nights but quickly realized I’d need more time—next visit, I’m planning a full week to truly unwind and soak it all in. This isn’t a place to rush; it’s a place to slow down, savor the moment, and let the magic of Lijiang embrace you.   I can’t wait to return.
