Hotels in Dali

"This charming B&B is run by locals and is set in a beautiful, traditional Bai ethnic house. Its location is superb, tucked away in an alley directly opposite the South Gate of the Ancient City. However, it can be a bit tricky to locate initially. The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly; he even guided us to the correct address over the phone and helped us arrange parking. As a thoughtful gesture, he gave us a box of local flower cakes when we checked out. Stepping out of the B&B, you're immediately on a lively street packed with restaurants and shops, making everything incredibly convenient."

"I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel in Dali. The hospitality was exceptional ! The owner and staff were always warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They offered great advice on getting around Dali and exploring the local highlights, which made my trip so much smoother and more memorable. The Erhai Lake view from my room was simply spectacular. Waking up to such a beautiful scene every morning was the highlight of my stay. The hotel itself has a very welcoming atmosphere, and everything was well taken care of. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who will be visiting Dali!"

"My stayed at Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel in Dali was fantastic. The hotel is located right in the heart of the ancient town, which makes it very convenient. The room was big, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was soft, and everything looked nice. The staff were friendly and helped me with anything I needed. The hotel is close to Erhai Gate and good places to eat. I had a quiet and relaxing time. I would love to stay there again."

"There are parking spaces, which is very friendly for self-driving travel. The family room we stayed in has good privacy, plenty of hot water, and electric blankets, which is great. The owner is very friendly and has been operating in Dali for many years. From the terrace of the inn, you can see Cangshan Mountain up close and Erhai Lake in the distance. There is a snack street outside the inn, and the South Gate is a short walk away. It is recommended to stay here."

"I stayed at this hotel for two nights. When booking, there was only one room available per night, so I just took what I could get, truly embracing the experience. The mid-stay room change was swift and efficient; the new room was cleaned and ready in no time. Room 201 didn't have a sea view, but its small courtyard offered a lovely, relaxing space. The soaking tub looked deep, but due to the low-set drain, the water level barely reached 15cm. This made it perfect for kids to splash around, though adults could only just manage to cover their legs. The fourth floor houses a gym, a laundry room, and a very photogenic swimming pool. There's a short-legged tabby cat at the hotel with a wonderfully sweet disposition. For breakfast, beyond the buffet spread, there were made-to-order options like rice noodles, wontons, regular noodles, and Ersi noodles, plus common items such as yogurt, milk, and coffee. All in all, I was very satisfied with my two-day stay!"

"The service was exceptionally thoughtful; the staff's recommendations for nearby shops were excellent! Our room was spacious and charming, with really tasteful decor. The persimmon tree in the courtyard was incredibly photogenic – with its green and red fruit hanging from the branches, it looked beautiful from every angle. It was incredibly relaxing to stay here, and the photos I shared on social media got so many compliments. A definite five-star recommendation!"

"This time, I traveled to Dali with my sisters. The room we stayed in had a 270° floor-to-ceiling window with a sea view. The view was particularly wide and the photos were particularly good. The room area was 100 square meters. There was not only a Japanese tea room, but also a double sink. There was also a dressing table for girls, which was very convenient. There was a hot spring pool facing the floor-to-ceiling window in the room. It was so good to take photos in a swimsuit! The toiletries were also Bulgari, and the smart toilet and Dyson hair dryer were so comfortable and convenient to use! The interior and courtyard were full of Zen, which was perfect for a relaxing vacation. The breakfast and afternoon tea place on the first floor faced Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. The afternoon tea was also very exquisite and delicious. It was so comfortable to sit here! The outdoor area on the first floor was close to Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and the Japanese courtyard was perfect for taking photos in Hanfu and kimono. There were free Hanfu and kimono on the first floor of the hotel for taking photos. The photos I took in Hanfu were so beautiful!"

"This is genuinely a spacious, single-floor apartment with a prime river view. The only minor drawback is the slightly higher price during peak season. However, since the entire unit can accommodate up to 6 people, it offers excellent value for group trips. I would absolutely choose to stay here again if the opportunity arises."

"the hotel is beautiful both in the common areas and in the room itself. the room is spacious and the toilet is huge. we got an upgrade during our stay. hotel has an life so no worries about handling your luggage. there are a lot of food options nearby and it is just off the street from the old town. about 15min walk will get you to the main old town spot. the breakfast was delicious. a selection of cooked food and you can order noodles at the main desk. simple afternoon tea with a light snack. we did not get to use the hanfu experience but it is a nice bonus."

"Small hotel with a stunning view of the lake. A good 30-minute taxi ride from the old town. The room was very modern and stylishly furnished. The room with a skylight was great, allowing us to wake up to natural light (the curtains only closed completely – at least with the switches). There was also voice control, but our Chinese wasn't up to the task. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Thanks again! And the Chinese breakfast was also very good. We would definitely recommend the room. However, you have to know each other well, because the toilet/shower isn't really screened off. But it was great for us!"
