Inns in Dali City

The room facilities are complete, with great attention to detail, and all the amenities are from good brands. The breakfast is rich and varied every day. The service is incredibly warm and attentive, and the airport shuttle service is also excellent. It would be even more perfect if there were dedicated non-smoking cars (no smoke smell in the car + driver doesn't smoke). I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Extremely satisfied! The hotel's location is fantastic, right by the South Gate of the old city, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. We stayed in a rooftop room with an absolutely stunning view! We had a close-up look at the majestic Cangshan Mountains and the mysterious clouds circling them. The service was very attentive! The front desk staff were so kind, and a charming young man enthusiastically helped us with our luggage both when checking in and checking out. [Room Perks] Brand-name hydrating facial mask: After a relaxing bath in the evening with bath salts and rose petals, applying a face mask was pure bliss!

We stayed with Sister An at Dali Old City Sushe Boutique Inn for 4 nights. Her comfortable inn offered a fantastic mix of home and resort, providing a relaxing retreat after the busyness and urbanity of Kunming. Our 6-year-old daughter absolutely loved the property. The fish in the central pool, the cozy coffee shop lobby, the swinging pavilion across the glass bridge, and the upstairs mountain view deck kept her thoroughly entertained. Sister An’s inn was just perfect. Every morning started with a wonderful breakfast of eggs, tea eggs, free-flow coffee and tea, a variety of buns, millet porridge, and pickles. Furthermore, Sister An provided timely advice on transport, sightseeing, and local holidays. From the moment we booked a few days before our arrival, Sister An maintained constant communication via WeChat and a translation app to coordinate our arrival time. She even sent a complimentary driver to pick us up at the train station, which sat about a 30-minute drive from the hotel's central location in Dali Old Town. She also responded within minutes whenever we had a question throughout our stay. She is the true gem of this hotel. Some highlights of our stay included: The Public Areas: Excellent spaces, including the upstairs view decks. Convenient Amenities: Free washing facilities (essential for our month-long voyage with a party of four), a microwave, a mini-fridge, and ample closet space. The Suite Layout: The divided rooms gave our brother his own private space, complete with a sliding glass door, desk, and privacy curtain. The Bathroom: A powerful, beautifully hot shower with both handheld and rain options. Location & Value: An economical price for a very central location close to all the sights and restaurants of Dali Ancient Town. Bonus: Sister An whips up a very delicious latte! Because we ran out of time to do everything we wanted in Dali, we will definitely be back—and we will absolutely stay at this hotel again!

I stayed here two years ago, and I'm back in Dali again. After looking at various hotels and guesthouses, I still chose Lishire. Their service absolutely surpasses that of a five-star hotel. First, they arranged a pickup. When we arrived, we hadn't had lunch, so the driver immediately had a colleague prepare rice noodles for us. Knowing we were two adults and two children, and since there was availability, they upgraded us to a two-bedroom suite. Facing Cangshan and Erhai Lake, the scenery is absolutely stunning. After two years, all the hardware facilities in the room are still impeccably maintained. There's a washing machine, a steam iron, and a Toto smart toilet seat. The toiletries and laundry detergents are all Japanese brands we use at home, making it feel just like being back home. Breakfast runs until 12 PM, and in the evenings, they even ask when we'll be back to send up tremella soup or crab roe soup. Every staff member greets you with a smile, and their teamwork is incredibly coordinated. You can tell that the team goes above and beyond to meet almost every reasonable request, something many chain five-star hotels can't achieve. You can truly feel that the team and the owner are genuinely and professionally running this hotel/guesthouse.

Highly, highly recommend! The service was incredibly attentive and thorough, and the environment was absolutely beautiful. Breakfast could be delivered to our room, and there was a wide variety of delicious options – it was clear a lot of thought went into it! Next time I visit, I'm definitely staying here again!!! It's not far from the ancient town; right outside, there are bikes you can rent by scanning a code, and it's a quick ride there, very convenient! There are also free parking spaces for private cars right at the entrance! The scenery is also stunning!!! It's truly fantastic! Recommend, recommend, recommend!!!

Choosing this guesthouse was absolutely the right decision! The location is incredibly convenient, right near the South Gate of the ancient city. It's just a few minutes' walk to get inside for sightseeing and dining, and taxis can drop you off directly at the entrance – making getting around super easy. The guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle; the environment is quiet and comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. The room itself is very spacious, with a large area and a cozy layout. It was spotlessly clean, with no strange odors throughout. The bedding was wonderfully soft, and the bathroom was designed with a wet/dry separation – all the details were perfectly thought out. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, truly heartwarming. The soundproofing in the room was excellent too, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep and great rest. The experience was absolutely top-notch! It offers fantastic value for money, and I genuinely recommend it for anyone visiting Dali Ancient City. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Free parking outside the ancient city, the little brother will pick you up at the intersection. It's in the inner part near the sea. You can take pictures on the rooftop, which is good for physical strength. There is also breakfast in the morning, which is made by their local aunt, and it's super delicious rice noodles. Unlimited refills. It's also very convenient to go out in the town. When you walk out, you will see Yang Liping's Sun Palace, and on the other side is Nanzhao Fengqing Island.

By chance, I booked a stay at the Meishan Inn in Dali Ancient City and ended up staying for 4 days. The entire trip was incredibly comfortable and pleasant. The Bai minority-style courtyard is truly charming and unique. The inn manager was attentive and thoughtful, and the facilities were well-equipped. The room was clean and tidy, and the inn's breakfast was absolutely delicious. The courtyard boasts beautiful flowers and scenery, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling surroundings, yet its excellent location makes getting around very convenient.

Nestled in Shuanglang Ancient Town beside Erhai Lake, this beautiful hotel's location was a pleasant surprise. Situated on Yuji Island, you can enjoy the shimmering waters of Erhai Lake from a lounge chair on the terrace – a tranquil oasis right at your doorstep. The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the hotel is filled with thoughtfully designed gardens and charming details, including a rooftop terrace perfect for photos! Beautiful scenery, the vibrant colors of Yunnan! Thank you to the butler for the attentive service! This is my first review on Ctrip, and I genuinely think this hotel is excellent! While my experience exploring Dali Ancient City was rather lukewarm, this hotel left a lasting impression.

We rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages. However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang. After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!
