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 owner is really nice, patient and helpful. My Chinese isn’t really good but he was understanding. I wasn’t feeling well and he was very kind to check up on me with an oxygen canister. He will also bring you down to the bus stop. The place is really clean and had really nice views. It was really one of the best stays I had. Will highly recommend! The breakfast was really wholesome and hearty too. They also have really cute pets.Do ask him any questions you have regarding the routes around Dali or even to other cities!

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.

A very warm ,Helpful home stay owner . Prior before my arrival in Dali. She already send me msg on guiding me on how to find the accommodation. She share detail in ***** Bus and Cab ( which area to alight to save hassle of finding the way ) . She also use her experience to tell you how to avoid Train station tourist scam from those hard selling tour agency . The room was very clean ,look comfortable and spacious. Basic Amenities was well provided by the owner. She will share travel guide for which area to start first etc. Helping to book attractions tickets with discount price. I am definitely going to miss this place and will stay back if I ever visit Dali again. Thanks for making me feel comfortable and enjoy my trip. Thumb up !!👍

The environment is fantastic with a great view right by the sea. We stayed in the 'Baishi' room, which has a private balcony. The scenery and natural light are wonderful—you can look out at Erhai Lake on one side and Cangshan Mountain on the other. You can watch both the sunrise and the sunset here. It's peaceful and quiet, yet the location isn't remote at all; there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and it's easy to hail a taxi. The housekeeper was lovely, and the breakfast was abundant, with all the dishes freshly made with ingredients bought on the day. Super recommended!

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

This hostel is located near the South Gate of Dali Old Town. It boasts an elegant environment and convenient transportation. The common areas are thoughtfully decorated, offering coffee, drinks, and a selection of books to read. The dorm beds are clean, spacious, and provide good privacy. Upon check-in, the owner provides a guide to the Old Town and various activity recommendations!

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!
