Wutong Courtyard · Villa: Bai Ethnic Aesthetics | Panoramic Cangshan View Guesthouse

"Five stars, highly recommend this Dali Countryside Courtyard B&B! The location is perfectly balanced – it's only about 2 kilometers to both Erhai Lake and Dali Ancient City. You can cycle to and from both attractions in just a few minutes, making it an ideal spot that's peaceful yet conveniently close to everything. It boasts an elegant private courtyard filled with lush, green countryside views. The rooms have a fresh, rustic style, clean and spacious. Waking up to birdsong in the morning and enjoying tea in the courtyard while gazing at the fields is incredibly therapeutic. The owner provides thoughtful and attentive service. Staying here for a Dali vacation was so comfortable; I'll definitely choose this place again next time!"

HEO Hezhu · Luxury Residence (Dali Ancient Town South Gate Branch)

"Tired of the monotonous daily grind, I decided to take a break and clear my head. Dali during the off-season is quite pleasant; it’s lovely to just walk around and explore. Alternatively, picking a nice, comfortable hotel to unwind and breathe is also a great option... (After much deliberation, I finally booked this one.) As soon as you open the door, you can see the Cangshan Mountains, flowing clouds, and the ancient town. Walk a short distance downstairs and you’re at Dali Ancient Town. It’s a perfect location, quiet yet convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. The room features tasteful soft furnishings and furniture. The common areas are also very well-designed, blending contemporary art and modern minimalism with Bai ethnic elements. Every corner offers a beautiful view, creating a wonderful ambiance... I particularly love the swimming pool on the second floor and the rooftop terrace. They're perfect for relaxing or enjoying afternoon tea. It’s good to allow yourself to 'waste' time on beautiful things."

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"The hotel just right by the main road. Easy to be founded. It was really disappointed to climb up to level 3 with our 30kg bags. The room was spacious for us with a nice view. The staff brought the drinks to our room and help to order some food. We bought different room for the next day. Unfortunately we were told that the room was in another building. So we cancelled the room since it was not stated in the details when we did the booking. Other than that we got nothing to complain about."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"Spirited Silky Inn truly made our stay in Dali unforgettable. The hotel's design is beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. A special thank you to Xiao Hui and Xiao Deng, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. The hotel kindly provided vouchers for Hanfu costume experiences. While the complimentary package did not include makeup and photography, these services were available upon request, so I would recommend asking the staff if you're interested. We also want to thank Huan Huan and her team for taking such great care of our family during the photoshoot. The experience was enjoyable, professional, and completely free of any hard selling. As we were leaving for Kunming, Xiao Deng even helped us with our heavy luggage and surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag filled with local treats from the hotel. Such gestures made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Thank you to the entire team at Spirited Silky Inn for the wonderful hospitality, excellent service, and great value. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali."

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"The B&B's location is fantastic; you can drive right up to the entrance, and getting around is super convenient. It's just a short walk west to the old town's core, but the soundproofing is excellent, so it truly offers a peaceful retreat despite being in a lively area. The owner has great taste and an eye for aesthetics. The courtyard is spotless, and they offer a breakfast set. Guests are also very considerate. For this location and price, it's definitely a good deal. Highly recommended! However, in summer, you do need to be mindful of humidity and mosquitoes. But the owner provided mosquito repellent and an electric mosquito swatter, and surprisingly, we had no issues at all at night. We even turned mosquito hunting into a fun game, which my kid absolutely loved!"

"Very nice and charming hotel in the ancient town. The hotel is in a pedestrian street but complementary pick up and drop off service from the nearest road is available. The staff have been very attentive and proactive to make us feel comfortable. The room was very spacious and with good views to a courtyard. This hotel is a very good choice if you want to stay inside the old town and have all the comfort of a 5 star hotel."
