Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"I stayed for five days and was very satisfied overall! The sea-view room I booked was comfortable, and it was only a few steps away from Erhai Lake, so I could just stroll around whenever I wanted. The front desk staff were all very nice, there was free coffee that could also be delivered to the room, and the location near the city made ordering takeout very cheap. It was a very comfortable trip."
Spirited Silky Inn（ncient Dali City） ★★★
Near Dali Ancient City's South Gate with direct vehicle access, plus traditional music and cultural performances.
Jinbi Yayuan Hotel ★★
Blending traditional local architecture with wooden interiors, it also hosts occasional bonfire gatherings.
The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"I stumbled upon this hotel on the platform, and its location is super easy to find. Just navigate to the popular restaurant "Ark Fatty," and the hotel is right next to it. The hotel is very new, with complete and well-maintained facilities. The whole smart home system is convenient and easy to use, and the environment is amazing! We had booked our previous hotel in another part of the ancient city, and the front desk staff even helped us transfer our luggage to this hotel. We were able to go and enjoy a full day at Erhai Lake and only came back to check in in the evening."
Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★
"The owner and the guys working there were super nice, and the restaurant they recommended was delicious. The kittens were incredibly cute, and the two puppies were endearingly goofy. It's a very quiet place with a great atmosphere. The rooms were also very clean. Many foreign guests were staying there too. It's not too far from the ancient city, just about a ten to fifteen-minute walk."
Happiness Homestay ★★★★
"service was nice and breakfast is good. the location is a bit inconvenient if you dont like walking, but generally speaking it was fine. you just have to like walk 3-5 mins to like a main street and call a car. u can walk to the ancient city or the hotel can take u too."
Honglinge Inn (Dali Ancient Town South Gate) ★★
"The room was very clean and the owner was super friendly. They even upgraded our room for free! When we arrived, they actively helped us carry our luggage to the room. It's also really close to the old town, just a three or four-minute walk. Plus, there's a super cuddly little cat! Definitely recommend staying here."
Dali TOP | Ji Scenic Vacation Homestay (Erhai Wenbi Village) ★★★★
"This hotel was a major highlight of our trip! The service was incredibly attentive, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. We didn't have to deal with the crowds and traffic to see everything; Erhai Lake and the fishing boat lights were all visible from the hotel. Fantastic!"
Qianyu Seaview Resort Hotel ★★★
"This was the best guesthouse I stayed at in Yunnan. It's fully equipped, and the entire Erhai Lake is right in front of you. The experience was fantastic! I'll definitely stay here again next time!"

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."
Arcadia · Anzhi Yingluo Seascape Resort
"I was very satisfied with my stay this time. The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to explore Shuanglang Ancient Town. The room has fantastic natural light, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window directly facing Erhai Lake, offering views of Cangshan Mountain as soon as you look up. The cleanliness is well-maintained, with even the corners tidied up, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The staff are gentle and attentive, and communication was smooth whenever I had questions. In my free time, I enjoyed sitting by the window, watching the lake scenery, and waiting for the sunset in the evening – the breeze was incredibly therapeutic. The overall atmosphere is quiet and pleasant, perfect for a relaxing vacation. It offers good value for money, and it's definitely worth staying here if you're visiting Shuanglang. I'd consider this place again on my next trip to Dali, and I genuinely recommend it to anyone planning to visit."
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."
Sanse Yunhe Inn (Dali Shuanglang Bohai Snow Store)
"The hotel has great views, truly right by the sea. The butler was also very responsible and always ready to help. Traveling with my parents and children, we had a very comfortable stay. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and a sweet goodnight soup were all provided free of charge. Before we left, the butler even gave us a souvenir! Excellent experience."
Dali Ancient City · Lian Tingfeng Atria Garden Boutique Stay
"This hotel is so comfortable that I could easily spend hours in the courtyard, just relaxing and putting away my phone. It truly gave me the private time I needed to rest, far from work, electronic devices, and noise. I really cherished and enjoyed every moment. **Facilities**: The amenities are incredibly comprehensive! They have a wine and cigar bar, a regular bar, a pool, a coffee shop, and a gym – everything you could ask for. If I had more time, I'd seriously consider staying here for half a month. The rooms are beautiful too, with many different types to choose from. I picked a small suite with a courtyard and a private hot spring, and waking up to the morning sun streaming in was just pure bliss. It's also not too far from Dali Ancient City. A leisurely stroll over there as the sun sets to experience the bustling atmosphere is also very pleasant. It’s also very photo-friendly! I’ll definitely stay here again next time."
Pullman Dali
"Ms. Cindy provided excellent service. We heard she arranged a non-smoking room for us because we had children. We booked a deluxe room on the day of check-in, which was a bit disappointing, but thankfully, Cindy, the butler, made sure we had a pleasant stay. We were very happy with our stay."
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."
Songyun Cliff Hotel
"A truly perfect trip! Here, I enjoyed sunny weather, stunning Erhai Lake views, and a fantastic large balcony. The room layout, including the full-length mirror, was exceptionally beautiful. What sets this hotel apart from others in Ideal State is its deep commitment to the Santorini, Greece-style design. While some other places might only have an exterior that fits the theme, with very ordinary interiors, this hotel extends that Greek Santorini vibe to both its facade and inside the rooms. You can even watch the sunset from bed! And the next morning, with a bit of luck, I captured some amazing 'blue hour' photos. The butler and hotel service were incredibly attentive; basically, anything I needed, the butler would take care of. The afternoon tea, with ginger-syrup drizzled waffles and other delicious treats, was also perfectly to my liking. Actually, I fell in love with this room when I first saw the hotel six months ago (yes, I even preferred it over others with pools!). So, I saved up and finally came today, half a year later. What can I say? I feel incredibly lucky. The weather forecast had predicted cloudy and rainy days for Dali, but the moment I arrived, it cleared up and stayed sunny until I checked out. Plus, it wasn't too crowded when I visited (it might be peak season later on). In short, I highly recommend it! If you're planning a trip to Ideal State, definitely come to this hotel and stay in this room!"
Honglongjing Hotel
"The hotel's location is great. I booked a courtyard twin room, and the space was decent, though I'm not sure why the bathroom was designed to be open-concept – it wasn't very practical. It had a balcony, but it faced a wall. Otherwise, everything was quite good, and the breakfast was nice."
Yunduan Nanshe Homestay (Dali Ancient City South Gate Branch)
"The hotel staff was extremely welcomimg and caring. We truly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh Soy Bean Milk and their local delicious fresh corn every morning. We were offered a ride around the lake by the hotel manager, he showed us the best places to buy authentic Yunnan Tea outside of the main tourist traps and received a small gift on our departure. It felt more like staying with friends than being just another customer at the hotel. The room was super nice, clean and we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel
"This stay was very comfortable. The hotel had a great ambiance overall, and the room was sparkling clean. The bedding was super comfortable to sleep in. The staff, Xiao Wei, was warm and attentive, responding promptly to any requests. The location is excellent, making it very convenient to explore the old town. I had a very relaxing holiday here, and the overall value for money is high. Definitely recommended."
Yunqi Dali Sea View Hotel
"An excellent B&B, highly recommended! The staff are very service-oriented and always offer to help with luggage when you come and go. The rooms are spacious with private courtyards and a swimming pool. The breakfast is delicious. I highly recommend staying here for two nights in Dali."
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"I was very satisfied with my stay this time. The space was spacious and airy, and the cleanliness was excellent. Hot water supply was stable, making for a very comfortable stay. It's very close to the ancient city, which made getting around for sightseeing super convenient, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The guesthouse itself was quiet and peaceful, perfect for resting up during a trip. The owner provided thoughtful service and was always prompt in helping with any needs. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"I really loved Dali, it was the highlight of my trip. This hotel has a great atmosphere, with lots of flowers, several cats, and even a Border Collie named Peanut. The service was excellent too; they'd inform us about breakfast the night before, and the housekeeping auntie would deliver it right on time."
Heguli · VILLA Hidden Luxury Manju Designer Holiday Inn (South Gate Store of Dali Old City)
"Just a few minutes' walk from the old city, this hotel offers a quiet and peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. The overall design exudes a luxurious yet minimalist vibe, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The sunken courtyard and water features are perfect for stunning photos. The facilities are comprehensive, and the room hygiene is meticulously maintained."
Hilton Dali Resort & Spa
"Just arrived in Dali during the National Day holiday and stayed in the Hilton's Executive King Room, which left a fantastic impression on me. All the way up in Shangri-La, I still wanted to go back to Dali to stroll around Shuanglang, so I changed my itinerary at the last minute and returned to Dali. Even though it's diagonally across from Shuanglang, I still chose to stay at the Hilton—you can just imagine how satisfied I was 👍 Too bad I stayed on the 5th floor, so the view wasn't as great as the 8th floor. I'll definitely come back again given the chance!"
