Pullman Dali

Pullman Dali

📍 No. 61-1 Erhe South Road, Xiaguan Town, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.7 (11,997 reviews)

"Wonderful stay at Pullman Dali. Location: Excellent location facing Dali Harbour. The Erhai sightseeing bus stop is only a 3–5-minute walk, and Dali High‑Speed Railway Station takes just 5–10 minutes by car, very convenient for travelling to Haidong. Room & Facilities: We stayed in a high-floor Erhai-view room with fantastic lake scenery. The rooftop terrace is the biggest highlight for enjoying panoramic Erhai views. Rooms are well furnished, and guests can choose pillows of different textures as needed. The hotel is fully equipped with a gym, swimming pool and SPA. Breakfast has diverse selections and tasty pastries. Service: We encountered slight communication problems at first, which were settled perfectly with the help of butler Mary (Thanks Soraya for the help too! )- She assisted in all coordination, recommended local attractions and cared about our experience throughout the stay. The hotel clearly marks free and chargeable services with full transparency. Highly recommend this hotel."

"I'd give this B&B a 6-star rating! It's definitely the most photogenic garden-pool B&B in Shuanglang. The butler service was excellent; they even upgraded our room for free during the off-season, which was fantastic! It has a garden, swings, sea views, and a pool, combining Santorini vibes with an English garden and island getaway feel – super picturesque. Our room had direct views of Erhai Lake, and the breeze on the terrace was lovely. Breakfast was also delicious. I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit~"

"The manor is nestled on a cliffside in Wencun Village, Haidong, with Rainbow Road right outside – perfect for dining out and snapping photos. The manor also offers golf cart service to other areas within the village. The butler service was incredibly thoughtful. Upon arrival, the butler was already waiting outside to greet us, helped with our luggage, guided us through check-in, and escorted us to our room. Any questions we had were promptly answered in the group chat. Breakfast offered a choice of rice noodles, regular noodles, Er'si (a local rice cake dish), or congee, accompanied by bread, scrambled eggs, fruit, and a salad set – all very delicious. The afternoon tea was also lovely; enjoying coffee and cake while gazing at the stunning Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake was truly relaxing. The room was very neat and clean. Both the private hot tub and balcony offered direct, beautiful views of the mountains and sea, which was fantastic. The complimentary photography session provided by the hotel was also excellent; it perfectly captured the stunning blend of the manor and the Cang-Er region!"

"I had delivered some Taobao parcels before arriving to the hotel and found out that it was sent to the parcel receiving points instead of to the hotel directly. Our butler 暖暖 was very helpful when I called and offered to pick up the parcels on behalf so that I can collect it directly from the front desk when checking in. The hotel also offer many perks like ethnic costume photography which was so interesting. We managed to get great family photos :)"

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel ★★★★★
"When I come to Dali for a vacation, I always struggle with where to stay. After trying many places, I decisively chose the Yuanshanhai Banshan Villa Luxury Hotel. It really feels like my ideal hidden getaway. The hotel is built into the mountain, and the environment is exceptionally quiet. Both the courtyard and the rooms have great views, and you can see Cangshan Mountain just by looking up. The rooms are designed in a villa style, offering spacious and comfortable living without feeling cramped. It's also not far from the ancient city, making travel very convenient. You can explore the ancient city during the day and return to a peaceful rest at night. Overall, it's comfortable and relaxing, perfect for those who want to slow down and enjoy their vacation."

Mengjing Yayuan Hotel (Dali Ancient City) ★★★★★
"The hotel offers a lot of services which add value to the stay experience. There were self-serve fresh coffee and a variety of herbs/ flower tea selection at the lobby, free laundry services, afternoon high tea and night dessert. We really appreciate passing our clothes which required laundry to the staff and return to collect freshly laundry clothes. The staff is reachable easily via WeChat. They also offer complimentary pick up from the train station. If I really have to pick on something - there is no view in the room I stayed in even though it was bright and spacious. Overall highly recommend a stay."
