Hot Spring Hotels in Dali City

We had a lovely stay at little dolphin hotel. Mr Zhao was lovely and very friendly and helpful and there are great views from the roof. We had a room with a private hot tub on a terrace which was heaven to relax in at 40 degrees. Mr Zhao helped us plan where to visit and made a lovely noodle breakfast along with homemade pickles that were delicious. The bed was very comfortable. He is like a kind father, telling us to stay safe and showing us around. Only consideration is it's quite a long taxi ride from little dolphin to Dali ancient town on the other side of erhai lake but Didi is easy to use and inexpensive by British standards (about £8 for an hour's ride) ☺️

I was very satisfied with the first night's stay because of the great price, and although this night's price was a bit higher, I didn't cancel. The upgraded room was lovely, with breezes and beautiful views. The restaurant's terrace also has views of Erhai Lake, perfect for relaxing. It would be even better if the hotel provided coffee, so I wouldn't have to go out. I'd like to stay here again next time. I hope it stays clean and tidy. It would be even better if smoking was prohibited.

The room was very spacious and well-equipped. The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking. The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed. The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

The room is neat and clean, and the details are well done. There is a rocking chair at the door of the room to admire Cangshan Mountain, where you can relax after a day of travel. The butler delivers breakfast to the room in the morning, and the service is warm and considerate. The room is equipped with a projection and air conditioning. It is a very good travel experience and worth recommending!

Facilities: The room has a soaking tub, which is nice, but soaking in it is a bit monotonous. I suggest the owner improve this by adding a projector in the living room. There is a small refrigerator in the room, and milk and coffee are available at the front desk. However, upgrading to a minibar would be better; drinks aren't expensive and it would make a difference. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was good; the cleaning staff did a good job. Environment: The pool was empty, the toy's finger at the entrance was broken, and a lounge chair on the second-floor platform was broken. Service: 1. We arrived at the guesthouse around 10:30 am, and there was no one there. We had communicated beforehand and planned to arrive around 11 am. The owner left a message saying we could call if we couldn't find them, but no one answered the phone, so we had to come to the door ourselves. We arrived quite early. After sitting in the courtyard for a while, the cleaning staff finished cleaning, and we went to inquire about check-in. The staff immediately contacted the owner, and the matter was resolved quickly. The owner was also very helpful and immediately arranged a room. 2. Regarding breakfast, every guesthouse has its own specialties. Xianfu offers a set meal per person. I hope the owner will add some local specialties, like rice noodles or Erkuai (a type of rice cake), and please stop serving those tangerines; they're so dry inside. 3. The welcome fruit consisted of two tangerines, two lactic acid drinks, some candy, and small snacks like biscuits. Actually, it would be better to just serve sliced ​​watermelon, pineapple, or some local specialties like pickled vegetables. Overall, the owner is nice, and the auntie is quite nice too. I hope the owner's business continues to improve.

Back in Dali, I decided to revisit the Xianyun 360-degree Cliff Seaview Hot Spring B&B, and it truly lived up to expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive. I later found out that the humble and helpful manager, who was always ready to assist, was also from Beijing, which made me feel right at home. The B&B's environment is serene and immaculate. The private hot spring pool in the room is definitely the highlight. Soaking in the hot spring, you're directly facing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake – it's like a landscape painting come to life. During my downtime, I loved sitting on the balcony, gazing at Cangshan and Erhai, which was incredibly therapeutic after a long journey. The restaurant's dishes were delicious and flavorful. My experience was as excellent as ever, truly a hidden gem of a seaview B&B. Choosing to stay here twice speaks volumes about its reliable quality. It’s my top choice when visiting Dali, highly recommended! Amenities: Excellent Hygiene: Good Environment: Beautiful Service: Fantastic

Cangshan No. 1 is a hotel with advanced concepts. The management model is a team of butlers who create a feeling of home for guests and think of everything in front of them. The environment is beautiful and beautiful, with swimming pools, white beaches, coconut trees... creating a different paradise. Every employee has a strong sense of priority and their service attitude is excellent, gentle and comfortable. Not only did he take the initiative to inquire, but he also introduced the characteristics and customs of the Bai people in a very thoughtful way. The room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Each room has its own bathing pool, dry and wet are separated, and even the toilet is fully automatic. Very clean! Breakfast and afternoon tea are richly prepared and have local characteristics. There is also a heart-warming evening sweet soup every night. My family and I felt that choosing Cangshan No. 1 for this trip was a great value!

The room is clean and simply designed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer an amazing view, allowing you to wake up to a lush green landscape. The terrace is lovely, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breeze. The courtyard is shaded by trees, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, making it my top choice for a vacation!

I initially thought this would just be a simple one-night stay, but it turned out to be a huge and pleasant surprise! The complimentary airport pick-up service was really great. Master Wang was so enthusiastic and professional, and he provided a very thorough explanation during the short ride. For just two adults and one child, they sent a business van, which was very clean and completely odor-free. The hotel room was spacious. I booked a king-size room with a terrace on the third floor, and the view was absolutely stunning. I spent time just sitting on the terrace, daydreaming both in the morning and evening – I absolutely loved that feeling. There were many green plants and unknown flowers in the small courtyard outside the room and on the terrace. The hotel breakfast offered a rich variety and tasted excellent. The hotel's location is also convenient; it's very close to the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, and a taxi ride to the ancient city or the Gantong cableway only costs around 20-30 RMB. If I ever get the chance to visit Dali again, I will definitely choose Yiyun.

We booked the top floor room with terrace, it's amazing with a fantastic view of Cangshan, dawn & dusk offers different beauty of it...our whole family had a great time enjoying the warm hospitality by our host, Uncle Yang & his wife. Will love to be back again.谢谢杨叔与阿姨的温馨款待,我们一家过了一个非常有纪念价值的冬至。
