Hotels in Cai Village/Longkan Wharf, Dali City

The young pretty lady at the reception is really a superstar! I left my umbrella in the DiDi transport and she volunteered to help me to call the DiDi centre to get in touch with the driver to retrieve the umbrella for me. She picked us up at the convenient store with buggy and helped us to carry our luggages. She knows we are foreigner and she helped us to make bookings for some of the places of interest which we wanted to go. She also helped us to book those electric bikes! She never hesitate to lend us a helping hand! We could tell how much she is committed to her job! She has indeed made us feel sooooo welcomed and definitely feeling home! Thank you very much for having us 妹妹！ I will definitely highly recommend this place to my friends!

Staying in the Smart King Room at WeShe No.2 Courtyard was an absolutely amazing experience! All the smart devices in the room were easy to operate, and the room itself was clean and quiet, making for a very comfortable stay. You can also check out the cafe at Courtyard No.1. The atmospheric corners there are perfect for photos, with walls full of singer posters, cute dolls, and traveler messages – definitely Instagram-worthy! Plus, you can pet PiPi, a gentle and cuddly corgi. The fourth-floor terrace offers an incredible view; last night, I was lucky enough to catch a stunning pink-orange sunset with a complete rainbow. Erhai Lake and the rolling mountains were all visible, and the evening breeze was incredibly therapeutic. It's also just a short walk to the beach. The owner provided thoughtful and detailed service. You get to enjoy a smart room, a trendy cafe, a scenic terrace, a cute dog, and even the chance to witness a beautiful sunset – this is definitely my top choice for a long stay in Dali!

Truely recommend !!!The hotel is beautiful and clean, the flower garden is lovely, and the views are stunning, just as the reviews said. Importantly, it's very clean; compared to nearby hotels, it's spotless and reassuring. The staff are also incredibly lovely. I especially commend them for knowing we had children; the day after check-in, they put protective padding on the edges and corners of the tables and other surfaces – so thoughtful! They also prepared food for us early on our departure day. I truly appreciate and commend them for their attentiveness.

This guesthouse was a real gem I discovered during my Dali trip! The owner, a fellow Shandong native, was incredibly warm and made the entire stay absolutely delightful. Choosing this lakeside guesthouse was the luckiest part of my Dali journey. Its location is impeccable, right by Erhai Lake and close to both Dali Ancient City and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The guesthouse even offers electric scooter rentals, a one-stop solution for all your transportation needs. Upon checking in, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the owner was from Shandong, which instantly made me feel at home and incredibly relaxed, a true feeling of 'coming home' while traveling. Our rented electric scooter couldn't go directly to the lakeside, so the owner proactively sent us precise parking directions – such thoughtful and meticulous attention to detail! They also provided an extensive list of local culinary recommendations, meticulously planning out breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so we didn't have to do any research ourselves; our entire eating and entertainment experience was worry-free. We stayed in the 'Lotus Pond' room type, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and had a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Cangshan Mountain, offering healing and comfortable views of low, soft clouds. The cleanliness was impeccable, making for a highly comfortable stay. The most heartwarming surprise was at checkout: the owner thoughtfully gave each of us a Dali refrigerator magnet – a small gift filled with genuine sincerity. Whether it was the location, the amenities, or the human touch, this guesthouse far exceeded my expectations. It's my top choice for Dali, highly recommended, and I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit!

Facilities: Very comprehensive! It's a shame I couldn't get a room with a bathtub, though. I really liked the marble design in the bathroom; it felt very luxurious. Hygiene: Very clean, and everything you could need was provided. They even had special detergent for washing underwear, which was a really thoughtful touch – I didn't even need to use the one I brought. Environment: Absolutely fantastic! We had a front-row ocean view, with an unobstructed view of the sunrise. There was a huge balcony, but we didn't really get to use it much as we were out exploring all the time. Next time, I'll definitely slow down and enjoy some coffee on the terrace. Service: The auntie and uncle were incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. It was my first time in Dali, and I had no idea what to do. They gave us a detailed explanation, and the uncle was incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and history, knowing which attractions had a long cultural background. If you're unsure how to explore or what kind of unique experiences you're looking for, they can clearly explain it and give great recommendations. Overall, it was superb! I plan to come back every year. If you walk north along the hotel, you'll find all the popular beachfront photo spots.

The family traveled and stayed in Dali for a week. I like to play slowly. I don’t want to be too fast. I bring my elderly friends. I live very comfortable. I have breakfast every day. I clean the room in time. The front desk service is in place. The response is timely. Every day, I greet you kindly. There is also a chess and card room and billiard hall downstairs, a tea room, a small terrace on the 3rd floor, a restaurant on the first floor, a market at the door, and food all day long, but the important thing is that it is quiet and comfortable at night, not noisy, and it is very convenient to go to the ancient city beach.

This is a great place to stay for those who can speak Chinese. It was great even if you can't. The tea brewed by the owner is amazing. It is black tea, but it is a high-quality Chinese-style black tea (gold tea) with a golden or deep crimson color and an incredible aroma. He brews his own tea for you. They sell it, and I regret not buying some. Minsu - Since it is a Korean-style guesthouse, a family lives there. In the morning, they wash the kids, send them to school, scold them, and yell at each other, haha. It wasn't like that the whole time, though. People are just the same everywhere. The bedding is incredibly clean. The electric blanket is good too. Be careful with the single rooms in the middle of summer, as there is no air conditioning!

I went on a self-driving trip with friends and booked this hotel online. I was originally going to stay for only one night, but after arriving I was moved by the hospitality of the owner and his wife, the beautiful environment, the clean and hygienic room, and it was very close to the Erhai Lake, just a few minutes walk to the beach, so I decided to stay for two more nights. We arrived in the afternoon. The boss had made a reservation in advance, met us personally, helped with our luggage, and served us refreshments. He never tires of answering my questions, which is really touching! Give a thumbs up to such a boss! When my friends come to Dali in the future, I will definitely introduce this restaurant to them! The first photo was taken when entering the gate, and the rest were taken in the evening. Aren’t they beautiful?

Perfect sea view hotel! Directly facing Erhai Lake with unbeatable views, and the terrace is fantastic for photos. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, and the owner was warm and thoughtful; he came to pick us up at the intersection and helped with luggage. Right outside is the环海步道 (Huanhai Boardwalk), making it super convenient to watch the sunrise and sunset.

The room was pretty good, and the price was just right. You can walk to Erhai Lake, or easily call a taxi if you prefer. Once you get to Erhai Lake, you can follow the ecological corridor all the way to Longkan Pier. It's also convenient to take a trishaw to the Ancient City. Erhai Lake is truly beautiful! The owner mentioned that the local government has put in a lot of effort to protect it. Dali is definitely a place where you can relax. I'll be back!
