Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"The view was amazing. Only catch is there's no lift and we need to climb the stairs. The hosts were helpful in bringing our luggage up and down the stairs."
Holiday Inn Express DALI XIAGUAN by IHG ★★★★
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was very convenient, the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout, and the rooms were kept clean and tidy. Highly recommend."
Jinbi Yayuan Hotel ★★
Blending traditional local architecture with wooden interiors, it also hosts occasional bonfire gatherings.
dali xianlai Inn ★★
"The room is clean and tidy, very close to the ancient city. The owner is friendly, and it's super convenient for food and drinks right outside. There are lounge areas on the second and third floors, and the rooftop offers a wide, clear view of Cangshan Mountain."
Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"Yuntang Hotel is a special, tucked-away little oasis in the heart of Dali Ancient City! I was very impressed by the cleanliness and design of the room — it's very calming with a lot of wood elements and seemingly Japanese-inspired design. The breakfast was on the simple side for Chinese hotel breakfasts (not as many choices), but I thought it was delicious and nutritious. The staff were quietly friendly and helpful. I would definitely come stay here again."
Haiyawan Hotel (Dali High-Speed Rail Station Erhai Park) ★★
"I was fortunate enough to stay here on a business trip to Dali. Before checking in, the front desk attendant upgraded my room. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with complete amenities and full smart controls. The hotel's location is also very easy to find, just a few minutes' drive from the high-speed train station, and there are many places to eat nearby that you can try if you have time. It was quiet at night, not noisy at all. I had a very pleasant stay!"
The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"This hotel is incredibly well-designed, and I especially loved the lobby and courtyard. The plants in the courtyard are vibrant and full of life. The room was even better than the pictures, with excellent natural light. The blankets felt warm from the sun, which was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, and they paid attention to all the little details. The facilities are top-notch and super comfortable. Most importantly, it was completely quiet at night, allowing for a great sleep."
QIYULAN · Hidden Garden Retreat ★★★★
"This guesthouse is very close to Dali Old Town, right next to March Street. The place is super clean, the rooms are incredibly comfortable, and the environment is lovely. The front desk staff are particularly warm and attentive. All the facilities are smart-enabled. Since I was traveling with a child, I was especially mindful of the bedding, and my child slept very comfortably. They also offer a generous afternoon tea, and the common areas are perfect for taking photos. Highly recommended!"
Dali Jingui Hotel (Ancient City Center Branch) ★★
"The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to explore the old town. The facilities are comprehensive, with hot water available 24/7. The hotel is spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust, and the environment is quiet, ensuring a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. A really great choice, highly recommended!"

In the afternoon, they even brought an exquisite afternoon tea right to our table. Fresh fruit, desserts, yogurt, and coffee – a complete set! Enjoying it all leisurely with a sea view was pure bliss. The first-floor observation deck is a hidden gem for photos. Wearing a floral dress and a straw hat, every shot was a stunning, therapeutic ocean scene."

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel
"The room was fantastic, with a great view of Erhai Lake. They even offered airport pickup and afternoon tea. The service was so thoughtful! Tutti was lovely and kind, and provided excellent service. As a Marriott Platinum member, I felt the service here was much warmer and more personalized than the typical Marriott experience."
Pullman Dali
"The room had a great view, and the breakfast was good too. The service was excellent; our butler, Coco, contacted me the day before to send hotel information and a travel guide for Dali. It was a wonderful experience!"
Hotel Indigo DALI ERHAI by IHG
"The hotel is right by Erhai Lake, and the 180-degree seaview room offers stunning views. The environment and hygiene are both excellent. The complimentary afternoon tea was also delicious. The service was great, very responsive, and the staff were proactive in greeting us. Luckluo even called to ask about our stay experience and sent us a fruit platter. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience."
Yunqi Dali Sea View Hotel
"The building is great, and the sea view room offers a stunning view of Erhai Lake right from your seat. Unfortunately, I visited during the rainy season, so I didn't get to see Erhai Lake at its most beautiful. The front desk staff, especially one young man whose name I didn't catch, was incredibly warm and nice – I really want to commend him for his excellent service. It would be even better if the cleaning staff paid a little more attention during extended stays."
Dali Santorini Guyue Xareidu Sea View Resort Hotel
"Very beautiful resort. More suitable for couples than families as there is no elevator to go up to the room. The hotel amenities are great, breakfast was good. Hotel's location is near Erhai Lake, away from city centre."

"The service was absolutely amazing, truly exceptional! The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, carrying our luggage and even offering complimentary bottled water. The room itself was spotless and very comfortable. I highly, highly recommend staying here!"
Honglongjing Hotel
"This was my second stay here, and I highly recommend it if you're visiting Dali Ancient City. The location is super convenient, the rooms are spacious and come with a balcony, and the flowers in the courtyard are beautifully maintained 😍. The service is also great! It's so close to the pedestrian street that you can easily pop back to the hotel for a rest when you get tired, then head back out to continue exploring."
Dali Moon Bay Villa · Lanyue Design Light Luxury Resort (Erhai Airport Branch)
"The terrace environment is very comfortable, with rattan chairs that are relaxing and cozy. The entire place is clean and tidy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer excellent natural light and views. The decor is simple and fresh. Our stay was quiet and pleasant, and it's great value for money for a vacation. We'll definitely be back."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"The sheets hadn't been changed, and even though there was trash when I arrived, it wasn't cleaned up. The environment is really good, and they're pet-friendly, plus the rooftop view is beautiful. The service was excellent; breakfast was great, and they were good at responding to messages, though sometimes the replies were a bit slow. The bedside charging wasn't very reliable, and the room often had poor signal, making it impossible to do anything online. Also, the bathroom door was hard to open from the inside because there was no handle."
Dali · Liuwen·Xishe (Dali Old City Store)
"Great location, right in the heart of the old town. All the attractions are within walking distance. The front desk service was excellent, very accommodating."
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"The breakfast includes rice noodles, which were delicious!"
DALI JOY LUCK QINGSHI HILLSIDE LAKEVIEW RESORT HOTEL
"The room was spacious with lots of toys, which my child absolutely loved – they didn't want to leave and could play in the room for half the day! The hotel location is excellent, right next to Ideal State with a shuttle service. The butler helped with our luggage, offering thoughtful service, and the breakfast was extensive and delicious 😋"
