AAnonymous UserThis is hands down the most comfortable guesthouse I've ever stayed at in Yunnan. The sea-view room was also very reasonably priced, even in the off-season. Great location, wonderful environment, and excellent service. The butler was incredibly thoughtful, even insisting on helping with my luggage. The buffet breakfast, even during the low season, was very generous, and the room itself was super comfortable. The disposable toiletries provided were also of fantastic quality. Everywhere you look in this place is picture-perfect, just begging to be photographed. It's the kind of guesthouse you won't want to leave once you're here. Seriously, come give it a try!

MM53609****This place deserves a huge five-star rating, I highly recommend Yanxiu Ge to everyone!
On the day of check-in, there was a minor issue with the air conditioning. The owner specifically came over to check it out and meticulously resolved the problem. Since the guesthouse was fully booked that night, they immediately upgraded our room type the next day. They even turned on the air conditioning and electric blanket during the day, so when we returned to the guesthouse, the room was super warm. They cared about our experience throughout our stay. The owner is truly professional and dedicated, excelling in her field – what a charming lady!
For breakfast, I definitely recommend trying the whole wheat bread. The owner mentioned it's homemade at the guesthouse, and paired with strawberry and peanut butter, it's really fragrant and delicious!
The courtyard and rooftop are also beautiful; it would be even lovelier in the summer. The cats at the guesthouse are very friendly too, I especially love Ella, who is playful and active.
I had a great time in Dali, partly because I love Erhai Lake, and partly because the owner, the 'Jie' (older sister), is a truly warm person. The experience was a perfect hundred points!

EEnnaService was fantastic, the host was superb! Place was clean, convenient, and included all that one could need on a vacation. In the heart of Ancient Dali, this was perfect for food, entertainment, and shopping. It is also minutes away from the famous Cangshan mountain, and the host is very considerate in assisting you with any arrangement you'd like, including cabs for railway and airport transportation.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the room matched exactly the photos that are on the site. Very often this is not the case. So, all in all it was a very pleasant experience at this location.
Would definitely stay again and certainly would recommend this to anyone travelling to Dali. As a single female, I found this place to be very safe...especially with a considerate host, who looks out for you!

MMichelle 琪惠The service is great. There’s no need to carry your luggage or walk for pick-up or drop-off at 双廊半岛超市—someone will handle your bags and bring you over on a buggy. I was even upgraded to a room with a view.
Each time you enter or leave, you’ll be warmly greeted by the same individual, likely the manager, who also reminds guests to dress warmer if the temperature dips. Breakfast (8:30-10:30) changes daily, and they warm up milk (21:00-22:00) if you’d like some. There’s also a bar on site, though I didn’t try it this time. The room is thoughtfully furnished with a Marshall speaker (Bluetooth) and diffuser, and you can even choose the scent you prefer.
The location is ideal for anyone seeking both convenience and tranquillity.
It’s close to many attractions: right next to the pier and 双廊古镇, and about a 15-minute walk to the gallery and exhibition at Yang Liping’s former residence (杨丽萍太阳宫). It’s walking distance to a few popular eateries as well. You may need to walk abit if you’re going to the viral cafes further out near Muxi Dali (alternatively, you can get those buggy to transport you at a fee).
It becomes peaceful in the evenings once the day-trippers leave, so you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset in calm surroundings—perfect for sipping a cup of Yunnan tea while taking in the view (see photos).

KKeaidezhizhimaThe rooms are a bit on the older side. There's a newer building next door, which is pricier, so it really depends on individual needs and budget. The front desk staff were excellent, and the hotel's overall service philosophy is commendable. We originally booked a 'Quiet King Room,' but my husband really wanted a balcony, and they kindly upgraded us for free! The location is fantastic – very quiet with beautiful scenery, definitely worth recommending. I went cycling with my child, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning. The breakfast spread was generous and delicious, featuring Cantonese dim sum available until 10:30 AM. In the hot afternoon, enjoying afternoon tea at the hotel while gazing at the sea view was incredibly relaxing and pleasant. We cycled for two hours, and the surrounding landscapes were simply breathtaking. Xizhou Ancient Town, the Rice Paddies Mini Train, and Haishi Park are all just a few kilometers away by bike.

MML SiauA Serene Stay with Exceptional Hospitality
We had a truly memorable stay at this charming inn. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding—starting with a complimentary one-way airport pickup that made our arrival smooth and stress-free.
Upon check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a spacious suite, where a welcome platter of fresh fruits awaited us. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and well-appointed, with plenty of space to relax.
The staff and owner, were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Mr. Li who picked us from airport offered to drive us around (with a fee) to several local attractions and introduced us to some delicious local food, which added a unique and personal touch to our experience.
The inn is tucked away beside a dry creek, creating a peaceful and quiet setting. The landscaping is beautiful and well-maintained, enhancing the overall sense of tranquility. We especially enjoyed the rooftop lounging area, which offers stunning views of Erhai Lake—a perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day.
Breakfast was included and thoughtfully prepared, adding to the overall value and comfort of our stay.
We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene getaway with warm, attentive service and a touch of local charm.

11351095****Facing Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain, the hotel offers expansive views of the city. Every day, from 7:40 AM to 8:20 AM, you can enjoy the stunning 'Golden Summit' sunrise over Cangshan from the large balcony in your room. All guest rooms are spacious 224-square-meter suites, ensuring an exceptionally comfortable stay. The complimentary Bentley pick-up and drop-off service to and from Dali Station was a pleasant surprise. Although it's a guesthouse, the service quality is top-notch, with all staff members providing warm and attentive service. The butler checked in with us daily, making us feel right at home. The rooms are incredibly clean and fully equipped, and the toiletries are of high quality. Dali Lish House is highly recommended for families and friends traveling together!

DDeyimingliThis hotel is just about a hundred meters from the Old Town's main street, so you can walk there in a few minutes. It's also super convenient to catch a taxi to Erhai Lake, and the bus stop isn't far either. Since I have some leg issues, it was easier and not too expensive for my family to take taxis. There are tons of restaurants nearby. Their breakfast is fantastic, especially the noodles made by the chef; they're even better than what you find outside. The courtyard is clean, and the rooms are spacious, making for a very comfortable stay. The owner even came to meet us at the intersection, which was a really thoughtful touch! Dali has beautiful scenery, and exploring it on a scooter would be even more amazing!
8.9/10
ZZuozuozuoZOne of the must-stay hotels in Dali. It is right in the ancient city. The location is very good. It is close to attractions and food. The boss and his wife are also very nice. They are warm and thoughtful. They also stayed for two more days.
