This was my first time visiting Dali, and I booked this hotel blindly online, but it turned out to be a great choice! Since I wasn't familiar with the area, the owner even came out to meet me and gave helpful directions to the nearby attractions. The service was excellent. They also recommended some delicious local dishes. The hotel itself was very clean and had a lovely ambiance, perfect for taking photos. I would definitely book this place again if I return to Dali.

What a fantastic stay! This hotel boasts a great location, excellent facilities, and top-notch service. We loved it so much that we extended our one-day stay by another three days. **Great Location:** Step out the door and turn left, and you're out of the old town in less than 100 meters. Public transport, tourist lines, taxis, private car hires, and electric scooter rentals are all readily available, making getting around incredibly convenient. Turn right and walk straight, and you're in the heart of the old town. It's super easy to visit attractions during the day and explore the old town at night. **Excellent Facilities:** The hardware facilities are all in pristine condition. The rooms feature smart voice control, and the toiletries provided are very comfortable to use. The hotel has three floors, but there's a large platform on the fourth floor where you can relax, chat, and enjoy the old town's night view and the starry sky. In the mornings, you can take in the views of Cangshan Mountain and catch a glimpse of Erhai Lake from the platform – it's a wonderful feeling. **Top-notch Service:** In short, the owner is thoughtful, the staff are dedicated, and the service is attentive. After check-in, two young ladies kindly helped us carry our large and heavy suitcase up to the third floor – much appreciated! For breakfast, there are three options: Western, Chinese, or rice noodles, or you can mix and match. In the afternoon, there's a lovely afternoon tea set, which our child absolutely adored. I asked the butler for information on Dali's attractions, and they provided me with maps of both the attractions and the old town, along with detailed descriptions. The butler even upgraded our room, which was a pleasant surprise! We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Dali.

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's right next to Erhai Gate, and you can walk to Renmin Road in just a few minutes, making it super convenient for exploring the ancient city. The inn itself has a scenic rooftop tea room. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the Wi-Fi is fast. There's also a free self-service laundry room. The owner is very welcoming and provides great tips for sightseeing and dining in the ancient city. It’s a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, offering excellent value for money. Definitely my top choice when visiting Dali!

Great hotel located at the entrance of Dali ancient city. Walkable to the ancient city in less than 5 minutes, food haven, and Erhai lake. Quiet and secluded from busy noises of tourists and traffics. Ideal place to stay when in Dali. Hotel and room facilities are great. Staff are polite and helpful. Thank you for the wonderful stay in Dali.

A Wonderful Stay Made Special by the People We are a group of six travelers from Thailand and booked three rooms for two nights at Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali. Our stay was truly memorable, and we were very impressed with the hotel. The location is excellent, and the rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and have a genuine sense of luxury. However, what impressed us the most was the people. From check-in to breakfast service, the staff were attentive, friendly, and communicated with us very clearly. They took great care of us throughout our stay. Most importantly, they went out of their way to help arrange transportation for our group to Dali Railway Station, which made our departure so much easier. We have also included photos of the two staff members who assisted us throughout our stay. We would especially like the hotel management to recognize them. They are kind-hearted, genuinely caring, and wonderful representatives of the hotel. People like them are truly an asset to the business. Thank you for creating not only a beautiful hotel, but also such warm and thoughtful hospitality. Experiences like this make Dali even more charming and give us another reason to want to return every year. With our sincere appreciation from Thailand, Manop & Darika

My husband and I are traveling from out of town, and we both tend to be light sleepers, often having restless dreams. I also have sensitive skin. This hotel was by far the most comfortable stay on our Yunnan trip. We booked it purely based on the pictures, and it turned out to be even better than we imagined once we arrived – incredible value for money! **Location:** It's located within the ancient town, making transportation, shopping, and sightseeing extremely convenient. Taxis can drop you right at the hotel. **Cleanliness:** Very clean and hygienic. The disposable toiletries were all of good quality, so I didn't even need to use the ones I brought. The bedding was also very soft and skin-friendly. **Room Size:** The rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated, and quite spacious. I booked for two nights; the first night was in the Banzang King Room, and the second was in the Wuhou Yuanshan King Room. I got to experience two different room types, and I was very satisfied with both. **Soundproofing:** It's incredibly quiet here at night, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, even though the lively and bustling pedestrian street is just a short walk away. **Room Facilities:** The facilities are very comprehensive. It's a smart home with a projector screen, and all the bathroom amenities are individually packaged and of high quality. The toiletries were also good and smelled lovely. My hair felt very soft after washing. **Service:** The front desk lady was very enthusiastic and always had a smile on her face.

This homestay feels like it is run by a friendly local aunty and her son, which gives the place a warm and personal touch. Check-in was easy and smooth. Do note that there is no escalator, so if you are carrying big luggage, it may be a little inconvenient. We stayed on the 3rd floor, but luckily the aunty’s son helped us carry our luggage up, which we really appreciated as we were all girls. The location is quite convenient as it is inside Dali Ancient Town. If taking Didi, you may need to get off near Luckin Coffee and walk in for around 3 minutes, since cars may not be able to stop right at the homestay. The room was clean, and the bed came with a heater, which was very useful. However, the room was quite small for 4 people, so it may feel a little tight if everyone has big luggage. But considering it is a budget stay, I think it is still acceptable and good value for the price. One bonus point is that they provide Yunnan-style scarves to borrow, so we didn’t need to buy one just for photos. The aunty was also very friendly and would greet us every night when we came back, sometimes asking about our day. It was sweet, though as introverts, we sometimes just wanted to quietly go back to our room after a long day. But this really depends on personal preference - some travellers may find it very warm and welcoming. Overall, it is a simple, clean and budget-friendly homestay with a good location and kind hosts. Suitable for travellers who don’t mind stairs and prefer a local, homely stay experience.

Living in Dali is like bringing the beauty of nature into your room. No need for rushing around; wake up to the snow-capped Cangshan Mountains and step outside to the shimmering waters of Erhai Lake. The rooms offer expansive views; wake to see clouds swirling around the mountainsides in the morning and watch the golden light bathe the snow-capped peaks at sunset. Quiet and relaxing, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the ideal travel experience.

When choosing a hotel near Dali Ancient City, I deliberated for a long time before settling on Atour, mainly for their laundry service! This feature was a huge plus and very convenient! The hotel is located right in Sanyue Street, full of local charm, and you can find food just by stepping out. They have parking available in the inner courtyard, which is great for those traveling by car. The breakfast also incorporates local specialties, and the room cleanliness and bedding were excellent! They even gave a small gift to my child, which was a lovely touch. The only minor drawback was that it was a tiny bit noisy, but overall, it was an excellent stay and I was very satisfied!

This guesthouse is right by Erhai Lake. It was easy to find even when driving, thanks to the navigation. The owner's wife was waiting for us at the village entrance, showed us to the free parking, and then helped us with our luggage. The rooms were very spacious, with one king-size bed and one family room. You could see Erhai Lake right from the balcony. They even gave us a souvenir when we left. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Erhai Lake; it offers great value for money!

We were a large multi-generational family group traveling for over ten days, moving between several locations. Our top priorities were accommodation environment and hygiene, so all our stays were meticulously chosen online. After this trip, we felt that the guesthouses in Yunnan were all great, but this one was unanimously praised by the whole family. We booked three rooms for four nights, and from the moment we stepped in, we were captivated. Nestled beside the main street of the ancient town, yet offering a quiet escape, the courtyard boasts a beautiful and serene environment with a well-arranged layout. Though it doesn't look large from the outside, it has everything: an elegant garden, a lively pond, a rustic tea room, a bright sunlit lounge, a scenic terrace, and a winding staircase with an ancient tree leading upwards. It truly felt like a hidden gem, absolutely stunning. We loved the environment so much that a significant portion of the photos taken after the kids got their ethnic costume makeovers was right here in the courtyard! 😂 Additionally, the rooms were very clean, and the owner was incredibly kind. They gave us recommendations for travel routes, helped us with various small issues that came up during our stay, and were available 24/7. In short, we were truly satisfied! ~~

Beautiful homestay, unforgettable trip In the fast-paced life, travel has become the best way for people to relax and find poetry and distance. As a warm harbor during the journey, the homestay is not only a place to rest, but also a unique color for the journey. I recently stayed at a homestay, which left a deep impression on me and made me feel a different kind of warmth and beauty. When I arrived at the hotel, the sight in front of me made my eyes shine. It is located in a quiet mountain forest, surrounded by trees, birds and flowers, as if it is a paradise. The exterior design of the homestay is unique, integrating the traditional local architectural style and modern elements, which is both simple and fashionable. Entering the homestay, the warm atmosphere is coming. The front desk staff greeted us warmly, with a sincere smile on our faces, which made us feel the warmth of home in an instant. After check-in, the staff personally led us to the room and patiently introduced the facilities and usage of the room. The room was very delicately furnished and every detail was handled just right. Clean and tidy beds, soft and comfortable pillows and quilts make people not want to get up as soon as they lie on. Outside the window is a beautiful mountain view. Open the window and the fresh air comes out, which makes people feel refreshed. In the past few days at the B&B, I have fully experienced its excellent service. Every morning, the B&B will provide a rich breakfast, with local specialties, as well as Western-style bread, milk and so on. The environment of the restaurant is also very comfortable. Sitting by the window, enjoying the food while enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, it is a kind of enjoyment. In addition to breakfast, the hotel also provides afternoon tea and dinner service. The dishes are colorful and the taste is very delicious. The hotel's entertainment facilities are also very complete. There is an open-air swimming pool, jumping into the cool water in the hot summer, which can both relieve the heat and relax. There is also a chess room and a library for guests to entertain and read in their leisure time. In addition, the homestay also organizes some outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountaineering, etc., so that guests can better integrate into nature and feel the charm of nature. The experience of staying at the B&B made me gain a lot. It made me feel what is really ”home away from home”. In this fast-paced society, people often ignore the details and beauty of life. This homestay, but with its enthusiasm, caring and professionalism, let me regain that love of life and the pursuit of beauty. At the same time, this experience also made me understand a reason: a good homestay is not only a place to provide accommodation, but also a home that can let guests relax and feel warm. It needs to be operated with care and pay attention to every detail to make guests have an unforgettable experience. Looking forward, I hope to have more opportunities to stay in such a homestay. At the same time, I will also share this wonderful experience with friends around me, so that more people can feel the charm of the homestay. In my future trips, I will also pay more attention to accommodation options, choosing homestays that can provide quality services and unique experiences, so that every trip will become an unforgettable memory.

Staying here was a fantastic escape to the countryside! I loved just gazing out the window at the Cangshan mountains and fields – it was so relaxing and healing. Everything met my expectations, especially the room which offered great value for money and was super clean. The owner was really friendly too, and it turns out he used to be in a band. He even sang us some folk songs, which was such a wonderful and unexpected bonus! This place definitely deserves full marks, guys!

Many people come to Dali to heal their wounds, but I was different. I came here for a long-planned escapade. Traveling before the National Day holiday was perfect – no crowds, and most importantly, the weather was fantastic! Every day was filled with blue skies and white clouds, making for beautiful photos without any filters. The best part was the guesthouse I found online. It's located on Yu'er Road near the East Gate of Dali Old Town, just a five or six-minute walk from Erhai Gate and Renmin Road. The alleyway is right next to the main road, surrounded by restaurants and food stalls. The guesthouse has a fresh, clean style, exactly like the pictures. There's even a small pool in the courtyard, perfect for taking photos. The rooms were spotless, and the service was excellent. They helped with my luggage, helped me rent a car, and recommended great restaurants with good value. I completely avoided any bad experiences. You don't need to do any research before coming here. I rode a bicycle along Erhai Lake, enjoyed the breeze, drank Dali's local beer, ate roasted milk fan, and rode horses in Fengyangyi. In short, I loved everything about Dali and will definitely come back again, especially to Eight Mile.

The location of the B&B is very good. It is on Yu'er Road, which is the main street of the ancient city. It is very lively and very convenient for going out for fun. You can see Cangshan Mountain when you leave the B&B, and it's only 1 or 2 minutes away from the supermarket next door. The B&B starts to get quiet around 10pm, so even though we are light sleepers, we can sleep well. The taxi can go directly to the door of the B&B, so there is no need to drag your suitcase along the stone road. The room is very clean, the boss is super friendly, and the room price is very favorable.

The room was very clean and well equipped. Although there was no air conditioning, there were blankets and electric blankets. The bed was very comfortable to sleep. The roof could watch the sunrise and sunset. It was very good. The boss also took me to the Didi site to Shaxi very kindly. It was very close, only 600 meters. There is a breakfast shop bakery nearby, very convenient

Facilities: The supporting facilities are relatively complete, about 1.6km from the ancient city of Dali, and it is more convenient to take a taxi. Service: The boss service is also very good and the price is very high. I will come here next time I have the opportunity to come to Dali. It is a small yard with Bai characteristics, and it is very comfortable to sit outside when the weather is good. However, the other tatami mats in the parent-child room are slightly different from the imagination, and the overall is still very satisfactory.
