Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay

This is my favorite guesthouse in Dali, and it's my third time staying here; I come back every year around this time. The service is consistently excellent, and everyone is very friendly. They upgraded my room for free, and I could see Cangshan Mountain right from my bed. The location is very close to Dali Ancient City, making it super convenient for a stroll, and it's also not far from Cangshan Mountain. The restaurant at the intersection is delicious. There are many good restaurants nearby, and ordering takeout to the guesthouse is easy. The waffles for afternoon tea were amazing – I enjoyed them both days. My sister even told me she wanted to go back to Erhai Lake the next day just for the waffles and floral tea! The cats and dogs at the guesthouse are adorable, especially the new little black Shiba Inu, who is so cute and lively, wagging its tail to greet everyone. I'll definitely be back!

Seriously, you can't go wrong with this place! It was by far the best stay we had in Dali. It's super close to Dali Ancient City; just cross the road and follow Honglongjing and you're there. The guesthouse itself has a great ambiance, with direct views of Cangshan mountain, a tea room, and a small bar. Every night they offer white fungus soup, and the flower cake they serve for supper is delicious. The staff (the 'little brothers') are incredibly enthusiastic too; they helped with luggage, planned our routes, and even checked in on us while we were out exploring. Plus, the two Shiba Inus at the guesthouse are so much fun! I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit.

The hotel room was incredibly clean and beautifully designed. The sun was shining on the day we stayed, offering stunning mountain views ☺️. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, even sharing some authentic Puer tea with us. I highly recommend this accommodation; its location right next to Dali Old Town is super convenient 😊😊.

Yamashita Time | Lazy Afternoon Tea: The waffles are delicious. Service: They were very enthusiastic and helped with any issues. Facilities: All quite new, with smart voice control. Hygiene: Very clean, and there was even a humidifier. Environment: No BBQ or hotpot restaurants nearby, so it's quiet and odorless.

The service was excellent, very friendly and approachable. The food was delicious, and there were even cute dogs and cats around! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The owner (or 'big sister' as we called her) also recommended many great attractions in Dali. Before we left, she even arranged a car to take us to the airport.
