Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! ⭐️ The staff were excellent and very helpful throughout our stay. Even though they didn’t really speak English, they still made a great effort to assist us whenever we needed help. Really appreciate their patience and hospitality! 🙌🏻 For Muslim travellers, halal food is available around the area, but most halal restaurants are not within walking distance. You’ll need to take a DiDi to get to them, so it’s something to keep in mind when choosing this hotel. Other than that, the view from the hotel is beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of the stay. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend this hotel! 👍🏻"
Spirited Silky Inn（ncient Dali City） ★★★
Just steps from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, this location offers the convenience of direct vehicle access along with the charm of traditional music and cultural performances.
The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★

Good stay, good experience."
Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★
"My favorite hotel so far on my trip to Yunnan. The cats make the environment 100x more lovely and special. There’s also a washing machine on the roof which is convenient. Rooms are spacious and clean. Check in and check out was easy. I now recommend this place to all my friends who are coming to Dali"
Pullman Dali ★★★★★
"The front desk staff were absolutely amazing, and they even upgraded us to a lake view room. The room's view was fantastic, and the views from the gym and pool were even better! Every day, they'd leave a generous amount of fruit, some small desserts, and even face masks and steam eye masks in our room. The service was also top-notch – very proactive and incredibly enthusiastic. The breakfast spread was excellent too."
Lehe | Aurora Serene Yunshu Fanchen Designer Private Residence ★★★
"The room facilities were excellent, and both the cleanliness and location were superb. It was very quiet at night, despite being on a street, thanks to the amazing soundproofing. The hairdryer dried my hair quickly, the bedding was very comfortable, and the ventilation and natural light were excellent. There was absolutely no odor in the bathroom. The service was incredibly enthusiastic. Definitely worth a good review, I'll be back next time!"
Nature Forest Mountain Inn (Ancient City East Gate Store) ★★★
"Service: The service was quite good. Although there's no elevator, a staff member helped carry our luggage upstairs. We received complimentary snacks upon check-in and recommendations for local dining and entertainment. Coffee was available in the afternoon. Environment: I thought I had booked a hotel, but it turned out to be a guesthouse, even though I searched under the 'hotel' category. It differed from my expectations. The room decor wasn't quite like the photos; specifically, it lacked decorative wall art, the wooden furniture had mismatched colors, and there were water stains on the bathroom glass. It didn't really feel like a place that opened in 2024. Facilities: There's a washing machine available on the rooftop. The room lacked a desk, which was a bit inconvenient. A small tea table and two cushions on the bay window would be a nice addition. Surroundings: It's not particularly close or far from the ancient city and Erhai Lake. I'd recommend renting an electric scooter, otherwise, walking back and forth can be quite tiring. The picture shows the sunrise from the rooftop in the morning."
Dali Yunyi Xinghe Meisu (Shuanglang Ancient Town Erhai Branch) ★★★
"The hotel has a beautiful environment, convenient parking, and clean, tidy rooms. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the location is very convenient. It totally exceeded my expectations!"
Valley Sea · Mountain View Tea Retreat (Dali Ancient City Branch) ★★★
"overall was ok for the price"

Lismant LuoXi
"✨ Highly recommend! Dali Rismann Luoxi Seaview Hotel is absolutely the best hidden gem in Shuanglang! The location is superb, right at the north entrance of Shuanglang Ancient Town. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, and there's a free parking lot for those driving, which is incredibly convenient. The room boasts an unbeatable 180° sea view, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake directly. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from bed, and chase the orange sunset from the balcony in the evening – it's breathtakingly beautiful. The entire room is smart, with Xiao Du voice control, a Dyson hairdryer, a smart toilet, and L'Occitane toiletries. Every detail is perfect. The service is incredibly thoughtful. Our one-on-one butler, Shirley, was online throughout our stay. We received a complimentary afternoon tea upon check-in and warm sweet soup late at night. The public areas are strictly non-smoking, creating a tranquil and comfortable environment. It's incredibly photogenic here; the glass walkway cafe and sea view terrace offer wallpaper-worthy shots at every turn. You can also borrow ethnic costumes for free. Staying here is truly the only way to experience Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake properly! It's already on my list for a second visit, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all my friends!"

Cleanliness: Looked pretty good, and the mattress was so soft, really comfortable."

The guest rooms are well-equipped with excellent facilities. It's the only hotel in Ideal State with a heated swimming pool, so you can enjoy swimming year-round. Ideal State is built on a mountain, making walking a bit challenging, but the hotel provides a convenient shuttle service. The breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, easily the best hotel breakfast I had on this trip. The cliffside restaurant offers breathtaking views, perfect for photos. Butler A-Jun provided outstanding service and can even arrange custom outdoor barbecues. The summer weather here is pleasantly cool and comfortable, making it an ideal escape. I highly recommend staying here."

They even have a dedicated gym, a wine cellar, and more, all incredibly stylish! Plus, there are outdoor garden lounge areas, making it feel like a complete vacation. Breakfast was also very rich, with fresh ingredients and attentive service! The whole experience made me feel right at home. This truly was a surprisingly delightful B&B. The room's layout and design perfectly matched my aesthetic; it's a room that genuinely evokes a sense of happiness, and the bedding and facilities are all convenient and high-end! This stay really made me happy – I'm so good at picking B&Bs!!"

Happiness Homestay
"The B&B boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the city center. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the facilities were comprehensive, with elegant toiletries. The housekeeper was warm and attentive, helping with luggage, offering complimentary shuttle service to the ancient city, recommending sightseeing routes, and even preparing a delicious breakfast and fruit platter.

Its location is super convenient, very close to both the airport and the high-speed train station. The bedding and disposable amenities in the room were all excellent, with great attention to detail.

The water pressure is excellent, and the hot water supply is stable, making showers very comfortable. The mattress and pillows are incredibly comfortable, leading to a wonderful night's sleep. Both the owner and the front desk staff are exceptionally welcoming and responsive, not only replying to messages promptly but also proactively helping us plan a sightseeing route to avoid common tourist traps. They were incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. There's even an adorable dog at the guesthouse! We also received a thoughtful farewell gift upon check-out. Overall, this guesthouse excels in cleanliness, ambiance, facilities, and service, offering great value for money. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Dali. Highly recommended!"

Heguli · VILLA Hidden Luxury Manju Designer Holiday Inn (South Gate Store of Dali Old City)
"Booked this place randomly online and was absolutely blown away – it was the best accommodation experience I had throughout my whole trip in Yunnan! It's even better than the pictures. I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to hygiene, and this place was spotless. The location is convenient, incredibly quiet, with excellent ambiance and natural light. The only drawback is that you need to book well in advance, as it fills up quickly. The breakfast was delicious, and the coffee was fantastic – it’s the first time I've had really good self-service coffee at a B&B. I'll definitely be back next time – a truly delightful experience!"
