Erhai Xinglai Lake View Inn

We had the pleasure of staying at Erhai Xinglai Lakeview Inn in picturesque Dali, and our experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment we booked, the staff demonstrated exceptional hospitality, calling us to arrange for complimentary pickup from the airport. Important tip: Dali's cobblestone streets can be challenging for luggage, so be sure to call the hotel in advance to arrange for their free pickup service. Upon arrival, we were treated to a delightful tea break, complete with fresh fruits and fragrant rose tea. Witnessing the chef meticulously prepare the fruit platter for 30 minutes was a testament to the hotel's attention to detail and commitment to excellence. It's clear that every aspect of our stay was crafted with love. The hotel offers thoughtful amenities, including: - Photography package for capturing memories - Nighttime milk service, delivering warm milk to your doorstep before bed - Cozy library with an impressive selection of adult fiction, non-fiction, and children's books Near the hotel, there are live singing performances in the evenings, featuring talented vocalists performing ********* and Chinese classics (we enjoyed listening from the comfort of our room!) The staff's warm hospitality, combined with the hotel's charming ambiance and thoughtful touches, made our stay in Dali truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Erhai Xinglai to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat in this beautiful town.

Quiet space. Menu with many dishes. Clean, fully equipped. The hotel is centrally located, very convenient for traveling. Especially the staff is extremely friendly and enthusiastic, I got a lot of useful information.

Helpful and good service staff, good food and nice environment

Great view, vibes, and super attentive staffs. The location was good and very accessible.

Checked for a few hotels around there and It's a good decision to stay here. Very hospitality and friendly staffs Location is good and hotel is nice design Pickup from the parking lot to the hotel is so convenient! Must stay here!

I think this is a really nice hotel and the people are very willing to help you. Breakfast is not a choice, but there is so much good food that comes on a tray. It's a walkable area but the area is incredibly expensive for China. If you're an expat, You should know some things...like 1st of all it's incredibly far from the train station about an hour and a 1/2. Secondly I don't think that the price for the queen suite is fair. I don't know what I can say but it was more expensive than a 4 mandarin grand carlton in other areas of China. While it was nice, the price doesn't reflect what you get. I'd stay here again, for sure, if I was going back to the area, but I would book one of their cheaper rooms. Service was great, but we got here (yes they tried to contact me in advance, but I don't speak much Chinese) and it was quite a puzzle in figuring how to get to the actual hotel. Luckily someone from another hotel was able to help. Once they knew we were here, they shuttled our luggage to the hotel and carried it to our rooms. The people working here are wonderful, but the area is very expensive and room prices for the queen suite are WAY more than you will get elsewhere in China.

Nice~

The hotel was in an absolute beautiful location. I did not leave the hotel much on this short trip and I really enjoyed my stay here. Lobby and cafe area was really beautiful and the staff was really nice. Breakfast was good, and plentiful. My only issue, and it really became a non-factor, was trying to find the place. It is a little off the beaten path and taxi's will not take you to it. There is no signs at the road and if it wasn't for a really nice person working at another hotel we probably would've spent the next couple of hours walking around, with our luggage, looking for it. However, once we got them on the phone, they drove around and picked us up.
