The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City)

The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming! They even gave us complimentary fruit and coffee. The hotel environment is super comfortable, and the first floor is a great spot for photos.

The hotel was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean, with excellent facilities. Right outside, there were plenty of breakfast spots and night markets. The owner was incredibly accommodating and kind, always ready to help with a friendly smile. The location was also very convenient, with taxis able to drop you off directly. It wasn't noisy nearby either. All in all, choosing this hotel was one of the best decisions of our trip.

What a thoughtfully designed hotel! I initially booked one night to try it out, drawn by its stylish decor and good value for money. But after staying, it was simply too comfortable. The decor is absolutely superb; it feels like every item in the room was carefully chosen. I truly love this minimalist design aesthetic! We had planned to try a few different guesthouses, but after one night, we decided to extend our stay and ended up staying for three nights! The hotel's facilities and amenities are incredibly well-thought-out; I imagine the owner must have excellent taste and vision. The staff at the front desk, both the young men and women, were also very warm and attentive, sharing tips on great local food and drinks. One of the ladies even gave us some delicious fresh flower cakes. It's also a fantastic spot for photos! Overall, it was just so comfortable to stay here. The soundproofing is good, and the bedding is incredibly comfortable. We stay in hotels frequently, and this one really hit the mark for me. The cleanliness is impeccable, but what I really loved were the exquisite facilities and amenities, including smart voice control. Plus, the location is super convenient, just a short walk from Dali Ancient City Pedestrian Street. I highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in the ancient city. Don't even worry about room types or location! When I come back to Dali, I'll definitely stay here again. I could go on and on about how much I loved it – it truly left a fantastic impression!

The room was very clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the environment was pleasant. The location is excellent and convenient for transportation.

The location is excellent, convenient for getting around, and surprisingly quiet despite being in a lively area. The room size is decent, though the facilities are just average. I felt there wasn't enough furniture like tables and chairs (a common issue in many Yunnan guesthouses). Most of the toiletries provided are disposable, which gives a cleaner impression. The service attitude was very good.
