Dali City Inns

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The front desk team provided incredibly warm and thoughtful service, making us feel like family. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We also received complimentary fruit upon arrival, a sweet treat at night, and a farewell gift when we left. The sea view room offered breathtaking views, with Erhai Lake right outside our window. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with smart features. The hotel's location is super convenient, right on the ecological corridor, perfect for snapping beautiful photos. It's also very quiet at night, making it an excellent choice for relaxing and unwinding on the west side of Dali. I've already secretly recommended it to my friends, and I'll definitely choose Tingyun again next time I'm here. It truly deserves a five-star recommendation!

This stay exceeded my expectations. The breakfast selection was rich, catering to both Chinese and Western tastes, and even offered freshly cooked rice noodles. The ingredients were fresh, and dining with a view of Erhai Lake was a truly healing and leisurely experience. The room's cleanliness was impeccable; the entire space was spotless and odor-free. The bedding was soft, and the bathroom was dry and clean. Housekeeping did a thorough daily tidy-up, paying attention to every detail. The butler service was attentive and efficient, coordinating our itinerary in advance and responding promptly to requests, quickly resolving any needs. They even provided sweet soup and fresh fruit in the evening, adding a heartwarming touch. With its prime Erhai Lake view, it's perfect for both leisurely vacations and short-term stays. A highly recommended choice when visiting Dali.

This B&B really nailed the details! They offer authentic local rice noodles for breakfast, and you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea. Before bed, they even bring you a glass of milk with a sleep-inducing aroma, ensuring a super peaceful night's sleep. The place is incredibly photogenic, with tons of spots for great pictures – the lobby, the terrace, by the windows, you name it! The housekeepers are warm and attentive, even helping us with our luggage up and down the stairs. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants nearby, making it very convenient for getting around and dining out!

Choosing this guesthouse was absolutely the right decision! The location is incredibly convenient, right near the South Gate of the ancient city. It's just a few minutes' walk to get inside for sightseeing and dining, and taxis can drop you off directly at the entrance – making getting around super easy. The guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle; the environment is quiet and comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. The room itself is very spacious, with a large area and a cozy layout. It was spotlessly clean, with no strange odors throughout. The bedding was wonderfully soft, and the bathroom was designed with a wet/dry separation – all the details were perfectly thought out. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, truly heartwarming. The soundproofing in the room was excellent too, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep and great rest. The experience was absolutely top-notch! It offers fantastic value for money, and I genuinely recommend it for anyone visiting Dali Ancient City. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

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.

My stay was exceptionally good. The place is very clean and elegant, and both the garden and the rooms are beautiful. The owner is incredibly warm and attentive, answering all my travel guide questions perfectly. The service was comprehensive! The environment is stunning, and my stay felt very cozy. There are also many coffee shops nearby to check out, and taking a stroll in the ancient city right outside is lovely. The owner generously shared her delicious food with guests. Her breakfast is fantastic, especially the rice noodles which are absolutely incredible, and the coffee is super good too! When I was there, guests came from all over, and everyone was so friendly. I even made new friends, new international friends! I plan to stay here every time I visit Dali!

Nestled in Shuanglang Ancient Town beside Erhai Lake, this beautiful hotel's location was a pleasant surprise. Situated on Yuji Island, you can enjoy the shimmering waters of Erhai Lake from a lounge chair on the terrace – a tranquil oasis right at your doorstep. The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the hotel is filled with thoughtfully designed gardens and charming details, including a rooftop terrace perfect for photos! Beautiful scenery, the vibrant colors of Yunnan! Thank you to the butler for the attentive service! This is my first review on Ctrip, and I genuinely think this hotel is excellent! While my experience exploring Dali Ancient City was rather lukewarm, this hotel left a lasting impression.

Free parking outside the ancient city, the little brother will pick you up at the intersection. It's in the inner part near the sea. You can take pictures on the rooftop, which is good for physical strength. There is also breakfast in the morning, which is made by their local aunt, and it's super delicious rice noodles. Unlimited refills. It's also very convenient to go out in the town. When you walk out, you will see Yang Liping's Sun Palace, and on the other side is Nanzhao Fengqing Island.

The environment is elegant and comfortable, the service attitude is very satisfactory, it is clean and tidy, and it is only 5 minutes away from Erhai Lake. I highly recommend everyone to come and stay here. It left a deep impression on us.

We rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages. However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang. After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!
