Dali City Hotels with Bars

The room was very spacious and well-equipped. The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking. The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed. The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

The hotel is located halfway up the mountain in Wenbi Village, where there must be hundreds of guesthouses. Since I booked on the day of check-in, there weren't many options available with a large balcony, which is my personal preference. I ended up choosing a two-day stay in a loft king room at the Qianshan.Yu Hai Hotel. I arrived around 9 PM, and the front desk offered me a free upgrade to a sea-view terrace king room, which happened to be vacant. This accidental upgrade to a sea-view terrace room was absolutely perfect! However, this room type was only available for one night, as it was booked for the second day. I told the front desk that if it became available again, I'd love to have it. Sure enough, at 4 PM, they informed me that a reservation had been canceled – perfect timing! The room I switched to on the second day had an even better, unobstructed view. The entire hotel and the rooms were clean and tastefully minimalist. Enjoying afternoon tea while gazing at Erhai Lake in the afternoon was incredibly relaxing, and the twilight blue hour was particularly romantic. Additionally, several cafes in Wenbi Village are also very beautiful. Dali is such a therapeutic place!

Service: The service was absolutely superb! They'd ask for your estimated arrival time and even come out to greet you and help with luggage. Both the staff, the young ladies and gentlemen, were incredibly kind and responsive to any questions. They were also very thoughtful; there was afternoon tea upon check-in, and the breakfast was prepared with great care, offering rice noodles, congee, and even options with dietary fiber and protein. Oh, and there's an adorable little cat at the guesthouse! Environment: The environment was beyond words! I was immediately stunned by the view from the front desk area where we checked in. The view from the room was also exceptional, with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, allowing you to enjoy the scenery right from your bed. The surroundings are very quiet and secluded, making for a truly comfortable stay. The hygiene was also excellent – very clean and tidy. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the latex pillow was a lifesaver for my neck issues. The amenities were also quite comprehensive! I usually stay in hotels a lot, but this guesthouse experience was exceptionally nice.

The hotel offers a fantastic view, especially from the rooftop common area where you can see the beautiful Erhai Lake – perfect for photos. The owner is incredibly thoughtful; they offer a pick-up service, and even reimbursed our taxi fare when we arrived. On the second morning, they brought breakfast directly to our room at 10 AM since we hadn't gotten up yet. We enjoyed breakfast in the room while watching squirrels hopping outside – the environment is truly wonderful. The owner also runs a tea business and even gave us some tea as a souvenir when we left. They truly made us feel at home.

🌲 Dali Cangshan Oxygen Retreat | Living in This Forest, I Kicked My Phone Addiction🍃 Seriously, I'm so grateful! The biggest surprise of my Dali trip wasn't the ancient city or Erhai Lake, but this forest B&B nestled halfway up Cangshan Mountain 🌿. As we drove up from the city, the urban hustle and bustle slowly faded, replaced by lush greenery and the sound of pine trees swaying in the wind. 🌄 **The Rooftop is Pure Soul:** I was absolutely stunned the moment I stepped onto the rooftop – the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stood behind me like a majestic screen, with the entire Erhai Lake and scattered Bai ethnic villages stretching out below. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were faintly visible. In the morning, drawing back the curtains revealed a sea of rolling clouds. In the evening, I'd sit on the swing chair on the terrace, watching the sunset paint Erhai Lake a honeyed gold 🍯. At night, a glance upwards showed the Milky Way so clearly it brought tears to my eyes ✨. 🌿 **Immersive Mountain Living:** Hydrangeas were in full bloom in the courtyard, and dappled sunlight filtered through the treetops onto the wooden floors. The natural wood-toned room had floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, making it feel like sleeping right in the forest 🌲. There were also three resident cats, each with their own unique personality, taking turns on patrol. Every day was spent petting cats, gazing at the mountains, and simply daydreaming – my phone stayed at 90% battery, I didn't even want to touch it. 📍 Shanjinjian · Designer Wild Luxury B&B (Dali Ancient City Branch) #DaliB&B #DaliTravel #CangshanErhai #WildLuxuryB&B #ForestB&B #MyLifePhoto #DaliSeclusionGuide

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

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective! The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.

This was an absolutely fantastic homestay experience. I've stayed in other places where the photos looked great, but the reality was a huge disappointment. So I didn't have high expectations this time, but wow, was I surprised! Could a homestay actually look as good as its pictures? Was the 'butler service' more than just a slogan? And could a room really be this beautiful without a wide-angle lens? This time, I truly experienced it all. If I had to nitpick, I'd suggest the host add a few more hooks in the room. Other than that, there's nothing else to say. If you're reading reviews and researching accommodations, go ahead and book this place with confidence – you won't be disappointed!

Before check-in, the hotel proactively reached out to remind me about my luggage. The room was clean and tidy, and it was very quiet at night, perfect for a good night's sleep (they even had an electric blanket!). The views were also beautiful, and the owner was very welcoming! Breakfast was rice noodles with meat sauce, an egg, and corn, which was delicious (it would have been even better with some pickles though! 😂). I carelessly left my watch behind, and the owner actively contacted me and helped mail it back. Many thanks! I'll definitely be back next time! ❤️

I don't usually write reviews, but this place totally deserves one! First off, hygiene: My friend, who's usually very prone to allergies from her surroundings, had absolutely no issues during our stay. You can definitely rest assured about the cleanliness. Then there's the service – it's truly excellent. As soon as we walked in, the owner helped us with our luggage and brought us water. They thoughtfully explained all the services available, including helping us find reliable car rentals and offering food recommendations if needed. The lobby was well-stocked with essentials like mosquito repellent. Afternoon tea is complimentary and they announce it in the group chat; if they see you sitting around, they'll proactively ask if you'd like a drink (again, free!). In the evening, they even offer sweet vinegar drinks – it's an acquired taste, but I quite liked it. If you have any questions, just message in the group and the housekeeper will be there to help very quickly. I'm a late riser, and one day when I missed breakfast, they even messaged to ask if I wanted them to save it for me. The experience was truly wonderful. The environment is also fantastic – a very quiet courtyard. You can see the sea right from the entrance, and you can enjoy breakfast outside while looking at the ocean. There's also a private courtyard inside, and a phantom-like little cat (it doesn't actively cuddle, but if you call it, it's the best cat ever and will come right over!).
