Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★

Blending traditional local architecture with wooden interiors, it also hosts occasional bonfire gatherings.
Yuelanqiyu · Moon Whisp | Erpanlanyue Waterfront Seaview Resort Chinese Inn (Erhai Ideal City) ★★★
"Five-star recommendation! It's so convenient for self-driving, with plenty of parking right outside the courtyard. We booked a non-sea-view room, and it was super spacious, with smart home devices that were easy to operate – lights and curtains controlled with a single touch. The soundproofing was excellent, it was incredibly quiet at night, and I slept soundly until morning. The room was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and offered fantastic value for money. If you're not chasing a sea view, this place offers maximum comfort. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Dali!"
dali xianlai Inn ★★
"Very clean rooms and near to East gate ancient city dali.next to the hotel is halal restaurant and this is very convenient for us. They top up the mineral water and change the towel everyday. Highly recommended"
Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel ★★★★
"The room was clean and well-equipped, and the staff were very friendly. I had a fantastic experience, being able to enjoy the beautiful view of Erhai Lake right from my bed. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options."

Dali · Shang'anli ★★★★★
"The hotel boasts a prime location overlooking Erhai Lake, with beautifully designed common areas. The room balconies offer expansive, front-row sea views – perfect for a relaxing few days of vacation."
ARANYA Resort Hotel ★★★★★
"I stayed here for a business trip and was very satisfied with the experience. The environment is quite good, and the surroundings are quiet and not noisy. The soundproofing in the room is excellent, allowing for good rest and work. The room itself is quite spacious and comfortable, not feeling cramped at all. The Wi-Fi signal is also very good, which was convenient for handling work. The butler, Luke, was very efficient. Both check-in and check-out were hassle-free. He was always responsive to any questions, and his greetings were thoughtful and timely. He even helped with my luggage, providing excellent service – definitely a big thumbs up. The hotel's location is also great, making transportation very convenient. During my stay, it happened to be raining in Dali, so the weather wasn't ideal. However, the hotel thoughtfully provided umbrellas for guests and reminded us to bring rain gear when heading out, which was a very warm gesture. I actually ended up using the umbrella during my trip, making my outings much smoother. If I visit again in the future, I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again."

Explore Accommodation Types in Dali City
Xiamolan Bay Sea View Beautiful Stay
"This is the most beautiful accommodation in the area. It's clean, comfortable, and what impressed me most is that all the staff are friendly and attentive to every detail. I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dali."
Erhai Lake · Jingxi Courtyard Homestay (Ideal State Branch)
"I hope businesses seek truth from facts; say things as they should be, and don’t make false advertising about “sea view rooms”? ? ? I didn't sleep well the whole night. I was bitten by mosquitoes and the noise was loud. I didn't notice it during the day, but the noise was really torturous at night. The key point is that you can't find any customer service staff at night. No one solves your problems for you."
Die Haiyue Seaview Resort
"The hotel's sea view is fantastic, and the service is very attentive. It's right by the sea, with a huge, unobstructed floor-to-ceiling window offering an amazing view. The breakfast is quite unique, and the staff are warm and thoughtful. I'll definitely choose this place again next time! Rooms book up quickly, so make sure to reserve in advance! Thumbs up! 👍 This time, I also got to experience the Torch Festival, which was a wonderful cultural event! 👍"
Xiaolu Chenke Island Neighbor Sea View Hotel (Erhai Branch)
"This guesthouse has a family-like atmosphere, and the owner is quite down-to-earth. However, the surrounding environment is very ordinary, and it's quite far from the city center. The room's actual furnishings and decor are very simple and basic. Breakfast offered very little, and the eggs had an odd smell. Overall, it's far from having the quality feel that the promotional photos and videos suggest."
Dali Mi Na Duan Seaview Villa (Erhai Park)
"This hotel is fantastic! The scenery is beautiful, making it very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff are warm, friendly, and very helpful. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it!"
Pullman Dali
"I have to give a five-star review to Pullman Dali, especially a huge thank you to our butler, Cindy! Even before our arrival, she proactively sent us the hotel handbook, a sightseeing map, and recommendations for local cuisine, which were all incredibly helpful. I was celebrating my sister's birthday, and Cindy went above and beyond by specially decorating the room and even providing a birthday cake. My sister was absolutely thrilled. The room offered great views, the dining was excellent, and the room service was attentive. The turndown service in the evening was a lovely touch, adding a sense of occasion. But what truly stood out was Cindy's meticulous and thoughtful service throughout our entire stay. Our overall experience far exceeded expectations. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Dali and highly recommend it to my friends. 🎂🌊"
Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel
"The hotel's overall landscape and environment are excellent, truly living up to the Lux* brand's reputation. The breakfast, in particular, was incredibly rich and varied. For those traveling with kids, the play area is amazing! It features three climbing frames and accompanying accessories from the Avdar brand, which is a rare find. It's also a safer alternative to ball pits, with less risk of infection. This definitely deserves a big thumbs up!"
Hotel Indigo DALI ERHAI by IHG
"I was quite anxious after reading reviews across different platforms before arriving, but my actual stay was really good. My room was arranged quickly even though I arrived early, and the hygiene was satisfactory. The facilities weren't too outdated, and the pool was absolutely stunning. Both breakfast and afternoon tea were good and met expectations. The customer service manager, Daisy, also followed up promptly. Overall, I'm satisfied."
Dali Hexi Shanshe Qinglan
"Location is great 200m to ancient town. Owner is nice. I left my phone at hotel, the owner wechat me and keep the phone save. Rooms is comfortable."
Licheng Resort Hoetl
"The owner is super nice, and the environment is beyond words, just awesome and quiet. I'll definitely come again next time. Environment: Excellent Personal butler service: Fantastic Transportation is also very convenient, very close to the ancient town, and the breakfast is pretty good too, hahaha."
Beautiful crown Sea View Resort (Erhai flagship)
"Great location with an amazing view – you can see Erhai Lake right from your bed! The service is warm and attentive, and it's excellent value for money. Highly recommend! 3. The environment is elegant, facilities are complete, and the service is thoughtful. You get stunning views of both sunrise and sunset. A perfect stay!"
DaLi Jiuyu · Seaside and Mountain View at Dusk · Courtyard Vacation Boutique Stay (Erhai Lake)
"Friends recommended to stay, no thunder. The public rest area is very suitable for sitting and chatting, the room is cleaned, the facilities are well maintained, not far from the ecological corridor. After traveling and playing, the room is neatly cleaned. The homestay is not noisy, suitable for rest, small coffee tastes mellow, and the small courtesy makes people feel warm."
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"The room was spotless, and the bedding was soft and comfortable against the skin. The bathroom facilities were easy to use. The B&B's location is excellent, not far from the ancient city, making it convenient for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The overall environment was quiet, and I had a great night's sleep. The owner was friendly and responsive to any issues. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay, and it's a worthwhile choice when visiting Dali."
Honglongjing Hotel
"Although the hotel is located within the ancient city, the thoughtful luggage transfer service it provides greatly facilitates travel, making it perfect for travelers planning a multi-stop itinerary. At the same time, its garden-like setting offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, providing guests with a comfortable space to relax and enjoy a leisurely trip."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"The navigation was accurate; turn right into a small alley just past the uphill section on the right-hand side of the street. I booked a sea-view room with a window at the Ctrip member rate. Traveling during the off-season, the price was excellent. The front desk staff member was proactive and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. Upon entering, there were three beautiful, somewhat bored but adorable cats in cages. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, who, though we only exchanged a few words, radiated elegance, warmth, and generosity. Both the interior design and the outdoor garden of the hotel offered a striking contrast, vibrant colors, a strong exotic vibe, and lush greenery. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and the bathroom featured a smart Toto toilet. It's essential to book a sea-view room; the mountains are visible as soon as you open the door, and the view is stunning from the window. It should be even more comfortable in winter, with lazy, warm sunshine greeting you early in the morning. It's not far from Dali Old Town, about 900 meters away, a little over a ten-minute walk. However, be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back, which helps with digestion and provides good exercise. The breakfast is a set meal, just the right quantity and well-balanced. The butler's exclusive service was especially heartwarming and thoughtful. Due to my medication, they specifically arranged for me to be served breakfast first. Such attention to detail truly shows their quality. If you get the chance, this place is definitely worth a visit."
Dali Harbour Hot Spring Hotel (Dali High-speed Railway Station)
"I booked a room with a view, but it faced the main road and couldn't see Erhai Lake. However, it was very noisy, so I asked the front desk to change me to a regular room. The front desk was very helpful and arranged it immediately. However, the cleaning lady kept grumbling because the blankets were wrinkled. The new room was located through a long, dark corridor. It was very quiet, and the twin beds were quite large. It had been renovated, but the cleanliness was worrying. There was a large clump of hair, like from a sewer, in the towel on the floor. I asked the hotel to replace it. The bathroom seemed unrenovated and looked quite old."
