Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station)
9.3 (1,568 reviews)

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★

📍 No. 112 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan, Dali City

"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! 👍🏻"

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

Pullman Dali ★★★★★

📍 No. 61-1 Erhe South Road, Xiaguan Town, Dali City

"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

Lehe | Aurora Serene Yunshu Fanchen Designer Private Residence ★★★

📍 No. 277, Village Group 8, Nanmen Villagers Committee, Dali Ancient City, Dali Town, Dali City

"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)
9.7 (919 reviews)

Nature Forest Mountain Inn (Ancient City East Gate Store) ★★★

📍 No. 34, Village Group 5, Dongmen Villagers Committee, Dali City

"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."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"This is hands down the best B&B/hotel I've ever stayed in! It beautifully blends Han Chinese and ******* styles, creating a chic yet substantial feel. The entire building is solid and grand, and the fish pond in the courtyard adds a touch of spiritual elegance. The room was also exceptionally clean. I didn't want to leave! Highly recommend!"

The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"I stumbled upon this hotel on the platform, and its location is super easy to find. Just navigate to the popular restaurant "Ark Fatty," and the hotel is right next to it. The hotel is very new, with complete and well-maintained facilities. The whole smart home system is convenient and easy to use, and the environment is amazing! We had booked our previous hotel in another part of the ancient city, and the front desk staff even helped us transfer our luggage to this hotel. We were able to go and enjoy a full day at Erhai Lake and only came back to check in in the evening."

Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★
"Turns out some connections really can span three years. My first trip to Dali in '23 led me to this guesthouse. Back then, I remember thinking the owner had so many cats, and that anyone who loved animals must be warm and reliable. And I wasn't disappointed! The room was exactly like the pictures, leaving me with wonderful memories. Three years later, I returned to Dali with my best friend, and to my surprise, I reconnected with the owner and found out the guesthouse had moved to a new location. The new courtyard is even cozier and more therapeutic than before. The room amenities have been significantly upgraded ✨, with a smart toilet, humidifier, and dryer – so many thoughtful details that made our stay comfortable and worry-free. The courtyard also houses over a dozen adorable cats and two small dogs who would always come out to greet us when we returned from sightseeing. It was incredibly healing. The housekeeper was also exceptionally attentive, proactively helping with luggage and recommending local, delicious, can't-go-wrong food spots and sightseeing routes. We even received fruit and flower cakes upon check-in. It wasn't that formulaic kind of service; it was a relaxed feeling that made you shed your fatigue and feel like you were returning to a warm, temporary home. If there's one regret, it's that I didn't set aside time to just stay in the courtyard, enjoy its tranquility, and savor life with a cup of tea. A good guesthouse truly adds so much to a trip ❤️"

Pullman Dali ★★★★★
"The room offers a delightful view, with the Cangshan mountains and white clouds by day, and the fishing lights on Erhai Lake by night. The service was exceptionally attentive, with quick responses and fast problem-solving. What I loved most was the mattress – incredibly comfortable, providing the best support throughout my entire trip. The cocktails at the rooftop bar are also quite unique and definitely worth trying."

"After comparing several accommodations in the ancient city, most of them had difficult parking, but this place completely eliminates that worry. The parking area is flat, making it easy to reverse in and out. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the ancient city, and if you don't want to walk, taxis are readily available. It offers double convenience for transportation. The room was clean and tidy, and it was quiet at night, not noisy at all. It's great value for money and highly recommended for those traveling by car."

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! The location is incredibly convenient, and the B&B's service, environment, and views are absolutely top-notch! The coffee is also really good. Lying in bed watching the sunrise was incredibly comfortable, and we were even lucky enough to see the 'golden mountains' (sunlight on the peaks) for two days. Enough talk, just look at the pictures!"
