Find 2-Star Hotels in Dali City

Had a fantastic stay! The room was spotless, and the bedding was super comfy. The owners were incredibly friendly and responsive. The location was convenient, and it was really quiet at night, making for a very relaxing experience overall. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!

On my way back, I returned to Yuezhu Yishan. It's close to the ancient city, which is convenient after a long day of sightseeing. The bedding was just right – not too soft, not too firm – ensuring a good night's sleep. Every corner was spotless, and all the necessities were provided. The concierge was as attentive and thoughtful as ever, helping with our luggage. It felt just like coming home. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

The breakfast with minced pork rice noodles was delicious! The owner, a retired serviceman, was incredibly kind and provided excellent service. The room had a beautiful view, facing Cangshan Mountain and backing onto Erhai Lake, and it was very spacious. Great value for money! The only downside is that the soundproofing isn't great; even with the windows closed during the day, you can still hear the music from Sanyue Street. Also, the walk from the guesthouse to the main road is a few hundred meters down a very dark alley, which can be a bit spooky at night if you're alone.

Because of the internal friction and pressure in the workplace, I chose to travel to Dali. On the first day, I stayed in another B&B booked on Ctrip for one night. It was very noisy and the hygiene was poor, so I changed. On the second day, I searched for B&Bs in Cai Village that were close to Erhai Lake but not facing the sea (facing the sea would be noisy) on Baidu Maps. Then I went to Ctrip to check the phone numbers and called them one by one. I looked at several B&Bs and the hygiene was not good. Finally, when I was about to give up, I finally arrived at Blue Sea Whisper: 1. Travel: The B&B is located in Cai Village. The B&B is a 1-minute walk to Erhai Lake. You can ride an electric car for more than 20 minutes to check in at Xindi Coffee and Longkan Wharf in the Erhai Ecological Corridor. It is a 3-minute walk from Cai Village CBD. It is very good to see the sea and eat. Very convenient. By the way, I strongly recommend bean curd rice noodles. 2. Environment: It is close to Erhai Lake but not the closest to it, so it is very quiet. The yard is very tidy, the room is very clean and new, and the sunlight is very comfortable. There is a terrace leisure area on the third floor, and you can also watch the sunrise and sunset on the roof. 3. The owner of the homestay is a super gentle and kind lady. On the first day, she recommended a route according to my schedule, took me out on an electric car, saw that I didn’t go out to play, brought me fruit to eat, invited me to eat with their family, etc., which made me feel great kindness and warmth on this trip. I sincerely recommend that if you travel for a long time or stay for a stay, you must go to the site to see the homestay before booking. Some are really scams. I strongly recommend this homestay. Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here again. It is very comfortable and really healed my mental exhaustion.

The location is very strategic, it is near to the pick up location for didi, only a few minutes away from the hotel. The ladies are very generous and attentive, she attends all the questions very well and gives recommendations to the nearest attraction, transportation and also halal food. There is a lot of halal food nearby. The room is also amazing, they provided a heater mattress, and the laundry on the fourth floor for those who want to do laundry, you can hang up your clothes on the fourth floor or in front of your room. This is an amazing and great hotel price for us. I will be back to stay here again. The view outside is really great, you can see Canshang Mountain.

This B&B, booked on Ctrip, completely exceeded my expectations. It was the most rejuvenating stop on my trip to Dali. The room offers direct views of Erhai Lake, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing an unobstructed panorama. In the mornings, you can watch the mist drift across the water, and in the evenings, wait for the orange sunset glow to spread across the lake – every photo you take looks like it's from a magazine. The room's cleanliness was impeccable; every corner was spotless, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The B&B environment is quiet, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The owner was very friendly and hospitable, striking a perfect balance without being intrusive. Stepping out, you're right on the Erhai Lake ecological corridor, making it convenient for walks or bike rides. It's suitable whether you're traveling solo or with companions. I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Dali who wants to experience the stunning Erhai Lake views – definitely worth the trip!

Location is perfect, just few minutes to go to Dali ancient city by walking. The owner can speak English very well. Friendly and helpful

A friend recommended this hostel, and it was easy to find with a great atmosphere. It's clean and hygienic! The owner also organizes a lot of activities, like communal meals, stream trekking, mushroom foraging, and watching the sunrise. They also recommend many delicious places to eat and fun things to do nearby – you won't be disappointed! It's fantastic! I'll definitely stay here again when I come to Dali! Superb! You can also play board games and karaoke!

It’s our first trip to Dali, and I’m so charmed by this city. As foreigners who don’t speak the local language, travelling around can be challenging. But we were lucky to have the most wonderful hosts at this hotel. They took such good care of us that I couldn’t help writing this review. The rooms are extremely clean and spacious. It’s nice and quiet, perfect for anyone who wants to stay away from noise. When we checked in, I asked if we could see a room. They immediately upgraded us to a much larger one. The room was incredibly spacious and lovely, with mountain views right from the window. They attended to even my smallest needs. The two ladies working here are incredibly kind. I felt right at home with them. They always greeted me with warm, beautiful smiles. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to everyone. My husband and I are really happy and satisfied with the service. Give it a stay!

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!
