"The staff was so nice and helpful. She also suggested that we take a look at the local and vegetable markets at North Gate, which was the most impressive part for me. I also have to mention that her rice noodles were the most delicious noodles I had during my trip. There was also a hidden staff member too— a curious orange cat that would show you how to catch fish. The amenities were great, with high-quality products such as a Dyson hair dryer and Bioderma cleanser. There was one laundromat, but it was enough."

"The room was quite spacious and clean. The hotel was also located near some great photo spots. There were many beautiful cafes nearby. I thought the hotel had a swimming pool, but it turns out the pool is only available for certain room types.However, it's too cold for swimming 😄. A shuttle car was available to pick you to and from the hotel and the gate . Breakfast at the hotel had two options: Chinese rice noodles and Western Spaghetti & Omelette, and they were tasty. The housekeeper Xiao Luo and Fei Fei are very helpful Xixi in explaining via WeChat as we don't understand Chinese."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"Spirited Silky Inn truly made our stay in Dali unforgettable. The hotel's design is beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. A special thank you to Xiao Hui and Xiao Deng, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. The hotel kindly provided vouchers for Hanfu costume experiences. While the complimentary package did not include makeup and photography, these services were available upon request, so I would recommend asking the staff if you're interested. We also want to thank Huan Huan and her team for taking such great care of our family during the photoshoot. The experience was enjoyable, professional, and completely free of any hard selling. As we were leaving for Kunming, Xiao Deng even helped us with our heavy luggage and surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag filled with local treats from the hotel. Such gestures made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Thank you to the entire team at Spirited Silky Inn for the wonderful hospitality, excellent service, and great value. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali."

Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★
"This lovely B&B, recommended by friends and family, is conveniently located right next to Dali Ancient City. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like I'd entered a vibrant, healing succulent paradise! The courtyard, hallways, and even the room windowsills were adorned with an array of uniquely shaped, colorful succulent pots. There were plump 'Peach Eggs,' layered 'Echeverias,' and 'Mountain Roses' that looked just like tiny roses, all shimmering under the sunlight. Even more delightful was discovering it's a cat haven! Several cats, each with their own distinct personality, roamed freely – some lazily sunbathing, others playfully darting about, and a few elegantly strolling. They weren't shy at all and would even come rub against your leg, practically begging for pets, instantly melting away any stress. The B&B owner is a warm and chatty young man. He not only helped with my luggage and gave recommendations for nearby attractions, but also thoughtfully prepared local snacks. His attentive and detailed service made me feel incredibly welcome. The room itself was cozy and comfortable, featuring wooden furniture paired with soft bedding. Outside the window, there was a lush green mountain view, and at night, you could hear the chirping of insects and birds. The serene environment made me want to simply unwind there and savor a slow-paced life away from the hustle and bustle."

"The room was very clean. When we first arrived, there were no rooms available, so the owner upgraded us for free, which was great. My wife scraped her ankle while playing by Erhai Lake, and the guesthouse even provided free iodine swabs and band-aids. The service was excellent, and the owner was very welcoming. Dali's scenery is beautiful!"
