Hotels in Shuanglang Scenic Area, Dali City

I visited with my mother this time, and this hotel is right by Erhai Lake, so every picture we took looked great, no matter the angle. It was a bit unlucky that it was cloudy during our stay, but I'm still very happy with the photos we got. The hotel's afternoon tea and breakfast were both very rich and satisfying. Just a 2-minute walk takes you right into Shuanglang Ancient Town, offering a perfect blend of peace and lively atmosphere. While the hotel itself is quiet and undisturbed by Erhai Lake, a short walk brings you to the bustling Shuanglang Ancient Town. All in all, this place offers great value for money.

It is right next to Erhai Lake and facing Nanzhao Island. The location is great and you can go shopping and eat as you like by going downstairs. The room is also nice, with a bit of a seaside fairytale feel. From the balcony you can see the commercial district below, which is quite lively. The guy was also very nice, driving his car to pick us up and drop us off, and the kids were very happy too!

The environment is superb, and all the facilities are brand new. The bathroom even has a wet/dry separation, and the toilet is a smart bidet. They provide complimentary coffee and tea, and essentials like a kettle, hairdryer, and mosquito repellent lamp are all there – very thoughtful! There's a small balcony with chairs. The weather wasn't great when I visited, but the view was still stunning. The blue hour at dusk created such a wonderful ambiance. Sitting there, feeling the breeze and watching the sea, with a continuous range of mountains across the water, hazy and dark against the clouds. Two car horns echoed in the distance, and turning my head, I could see warm yellow lights. It was a moment of peaceful contemplation, a feeling difficult to put into words. The service was also very attentive; the staff were all lovely and enthusiastic 🥰. It's integrated with a bubble tea shop and a restaurant, so food and drinks are super convenient. Picture 3 shows the complimentary breakfast, which was incredibly rich and delicious... Plus, compared to other sea-view rooms, it's not overly expensive, offering great value for money 😋. Fully recommended!

The hotel matched the pictures perfectly – it's very new and well-equipped. I have to praise the breakfast; it was delicious! They had rice noodles, congee, corn, sweet potatoes, eggs... My picky mother said it was the only meal she was satisfied with during our whole trip to Yunnan (it definitely suits a Sichuan-Chongqing palate!). It's also super close to Shuanglang Ancient Town, just a few minutes' walk away. The courtyard is beautiful too, and on a clear day, you can catch the sunset over Erhai Lake. The room itself was clean and pretty, but I made a mess of it so I didn't take any photos. The staff were also very easy to communicate with and had excellent service attitudes.

The room had a natural, rustic wooden style that felt incredibly comfortable as soon as you walked in. The toiletries were different from typical hotels and clearly high-end. There was even a tea set in the room, so after a long day of exploring, I could brew some tea and relax—it was truly delightful. I absolutely have to praise the view from the rooftop; swinging there was just fantastic! My six-year-old son went up three times. The photo opportunities were unbeatable; it was so, so beautiful. Another thing to commend was the hotel's breakfast. The nine-compartment platter was beautifully presented, and my child absolutely loved it. When we checked out, the hotel staff even gave my son a small gift bag of local specialties (flower cakes and tamarind jelly), which was a thoughtful touch. The hotel staff's attentiveness was the biggest highlight.

The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated, directly facing Erhai Lake! Not only did they offer a delicious afternoon tea ☕️, but also a goodnight milk 🥛. How thoughtful! The breakfast was good too, and quite substantial. The environment is truly excellent. Absolutely great value for money!!

Overall, the room was decent, but there's definitely room for improvement in some areas, to be objective: 1. The owner runs multiple establishments, so the front desk was almost always unattended. If I needed anything, I had to call. Yesterday, I made about 5-6 calls. 2. The room door couldn't be deadbolted. When I asked the owner, he mentioned something about the latest electronic lock needing an upgrade, which completely confused me. The room had a washing machine, which was great, but then the power cut out halfway through my wash. I had to call the owner again to ask why. He said something about operating it from his computer, which made me wonder if there's a time limit for using the washing machine. 3. The staff needs more training. Breakfast was supposed to be from 8 AM to 9:30 AM, which the owner did mention beforehand, and we might have forgotten. But when I went down at 9:40 AM, there was nothing left to eat, even though it was only 10 minutes late. Later, when I checked Ctrip while writing this review, it said breakfast was from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. It's hard to comment on that; maybe the staff is just very strict. I had planned to eat and then catch a bus to Lijiang, but I ended up having to go out, eat, and then come back. I hope they can extend the breakfast hours in the future to give travelers a better experience. I rarely leave reviews, but that's pretty much it. Oh, and one more thing: the view from the room we booked was nice. We also coincidentally ended up at another one of the owner's establishments for barbecue, and the food was good. The landlady even gave us some free drinks. That's all.

Jingyun B&B was a wonderful surprise! The huge floor-to-ceiling window in the room was exactly like the photos online, even more beautiful and real. You can lie in bed and see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake! The online photos are accurate, but reality is even better! It offers great value for money, far exceeding my expectations. The location is also excellent. It's very convenient to get to Shuanglang Ancient Town by electric car, regular car, Didi (ride-hailing), or bicycle. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and ordering takeout is also easy. The owner is very warm and hospitable, feeling just like an old friend. There's plenty of space to relax: a parking lot, a garden, an orchard, and a tea area. It's spacious and comfortable to stay in, and my family really enjoyed it, so I highly recommend it!

This guesthouse was the most pleasant surprise of our trip to Erhai Lake. The front desk lady was an absolute ray of sunshine; she came out to help us with our luggage before we even entered. We needed to change and get ready, so she went out of her way to arrange an early check-in for us – incredibly thoughtful! The room was spotless, and the soundproofing was excellent. At night, it was so quiet we could only hear the gentle lapping of the lake, and we slept incredibly soundly. Opening the window in the morning, the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake stretched out before us like a painting, shimmering beautifully. Just sitting on the balcony and daydreaming felt so therapeutic. Breakfast was healthy and delicious. The location is also convenient; a short walk takes you to the Huanhai Road, and there are many authentic Bai ethnic restaurants nearby. When we were too lazy to go out, we simply ordered food to our room and enjoyed spicy and sour fish with the sea view – it was pure bliss! I've already recommended it to friends, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!
