Hotel near Erhai Haidong Scenic Area,Dali City
"I brought my child to Dali to relax after their exams, and we booked a lake-view room on the second floor. Initially, I was worried the view might be poor due to the low floor, but those worries were completely unfounded! The floor-to-ceiling windows framed the entire lake and mountains like a natural painting. We had a panoramic view of the clear sky, blue water, distant mountains, and green trees. The swing inside the room was a huge hit with my child; they spent half the day on it. We didn't have to rush our itinerary; we just slowly enjoyed the breeze and watched the shimmering lake, experiencing a rare, leisurely pace of life. The room was clean and bright, with refreshing marble floors, and opening the window revealed a healing lake view. My child completely relaxed and shed all the fatigue from exam preparation. The hotel environment is thoughtfully designed, tranquil and restorative – it's definitely our top choice for family trips. We'll be back for our next vacation!"

Hotel near Erhai Haixi Scenic Area,Dali City
Nestled within the embrace of the Cangshan Mountains and the Erhai Lake, the Dali Man Yue M Sea View Hotel exemplifies the harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and local charm, making it a perfect retreat for both body and mind. The hotel’s architectural exterior features a simple white color scheme, complemented by traditional Bai-style eaves and arched window elements. This design not only preserves the cultural texture of Dali but also showcases the sleek quality of contemporary design. As you step into the lobby, the refreshing green grating and marble patterns create a harmonious contrast. The circular sofa and floral arrangements in the center of the room combine ceremony and relaxation, instantly alleviating the fatigue of travel. The guest rooms are the core experiential areas of the hotel. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic windows are standard features in each room, framing the clear waters of Erhai Lake and the verdant mountains in a flowing landscape. In the morning, sunlight pierces through the curtains, awakening dreams; in the afternoon, one can sit by the window and enjoy the changing scenery of the lake; at dusk, the setting sun gives the water surface a golden hue, and the contours of the mountains become even more gentle in the twilight. The interior design maintains a simple and elegant style, with soft beige and fresh green headboard covers complementing each other. Warm wooden floors and exquisite soft furnishings add to the sense of comfort and warmth. Some rooms also feature glass partitions that connect the bathroom to the bedroom, ensuring airiness while enhancing the modern design aesthetic. In addition to an immersive lodging experience, the hotel also offers thoughtful local services. From assisting with arrangements for biking along the Erhai Lake to experiencing Bai ethnic weaving, to recommending authentic local cuisine, every guest can fully immerse themselves in the leisurely pace of life in Dali. Here, there’s no need to rush through your itinerary; simply sit by the window and watch a sunrise, or savor a cup of fragrant tea on the terrace, allowing the poetic beauty of the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake to become an integral part of your daily life. Dali Man Yue M Sea View Hotel is more than just a place to stay; it’s a journey of coexistence with nature and rediscovery of oneself.

"This hotel is located right by Erhai Lake, offering a fantastic environment. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, with its blue skies, white clouds, and green waters, right from your room. The hotel's facilities are very new and high-end, making for a comfortable stay. The management is excellent, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and hygiene, all while providing a warm and personal touch. It was a truly wonderful travel experience!"

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to Dali High-Speed Rail Station, which is super convenient for catching early morning trains and saves a lot of travel time and hassle. The front desk staff are warm and attentive, and they respond promptly to any issues. The overall environment is clean and quiet, not noisy at all. Room facilities are complete, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom experience is good, with hygiene being well maintained. It offers great value for money for travelers in transit, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Dali."

Hotel near Gucheng,Dali City
"This guesthouse in Dali was a fantastic experience! The location is really close to the ancient city, so it was super convenient for exploring. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The little courtyard was quiet and peaceful, a great spot to relax. The host was incredibly nice and patient when we had questions, and even gave us tips on where to find good, affordable food. Overall, it's excellent value for money. If you're visiting Dali, you should definitely consider staying here!"

Hotel near Main Urban Area of Dali (Xiaguan),Dali City
"We chose Xiaguan because it's quiet and right next to a street full of restaurants. We hired a car specifically for our trip. The hotel was clean, with a nice environment and friendly staff who even offered hot-packed food. Xingsheng Bridge is just a five-minute walk away, and the night view is beautiful. The driver was very easygoing and kind, especially to the elderly. We toured Dali Old Town until 11 PM, and he took us back home. I highly recommend this driver, Mr. Shi (***********). Mr. Shi's itinerary was very well-planned and suitable for our family. Weishan Ancient Town and Weibaoshan Mountain were beautiful, less crowded, and had a pleasant shopping experience. Xizhou Ancient Town was a rip-off; they forced us to pay 80 yuan for a sightseeing bus and tickets to attractions we didn't want to visit. Two years ago, we didn't have to pay anything. Now it's too commercialized."

Hotel near Binhai Avenue,Dali City
Just a 5-minute drive from Dali Railway Station to the southern shores of Erhai Lake. Set on Xingsheng Road in Xiaguan, the hotel is around 5 minutes' drive from Dali Railway Station and 25 minutes from Dali Airport — late-night arrivals are effortless, early departures never rushed. Xingsheng Bridge is right next door, and the Erhai lakeside loop road is moments away: Lixiangbang, Xiaoputuo, Shuanglang and beyond, all the way north. Erhai Park is a 20-minute walk; climb Tuanshan Hill and take in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in one sweeping view. Newly opened in 2026, with Hilton Garden Inn quality throughout. Rooms start at 38 sqm, all appointed with King Koil mattresses, a pillow menu and a complimentary minibar — generous enough for family trips or extended stays. Mountain-view rooms frame the green ridges of Cangshan right outside the window. Wet/dry separated bathrooms and PTR bath amenities: the details speak for themselves. Hui·Wei Restaurant serves a daily breakfast buffet with local favourites including rice noodles, er si and er kuai. The hotel also offers complimentary parking with EV charging stations, a 24-hour self-service laundry, a fitness centre, and robot delivery on call. Walmart is a 10-minute walk and Kunbai Taiye Plaza 5 minutes' drive — everyday local life right at hand. Dali Ancient Town is 30–40 minutes away by car, so you get the ease of Xiaguan with the buzz of the old town whenever you want it. Open your window to the green of Cangshan, stroll down to the shores of Erhai, and savour the romance of Dali in the heart of the city — where mountains meet the lake, slow and easy moments unfold.

"I specifically chose this hotel because it's very close to Dali Station. I often stay at Hilton's budget brands for transit, and while the price here wasn't low, and the hardware was relatively new, the overall experience was truly disappointing. I booked a garden view room, expecting to see a courtyard, but opening the window revealed a direct view of an urban village, with a parking lot right below. It felt nothing like a 'garden' at all. The breakfast, in particular, was a huge letdown. The self-service area was just a tiny mini-island with salad, fruit, yogurt, egg tarts, and sliced bread – a pitifully small selection. There were hardly any Western pastries, not even a simple croissant. Besides that, there was only a noodle station with 'crossing the bridge' rice noodles, and what looked like overnight fried rice and noodles. The quality was even worse than a 30-yuan hot spring hotel breakfast. What you see in the picture is pretty much all there was to eat. After reading other reviews that mentioned a pool, beach, and children's water toys, I seriously wonder if I went to the wrong hotel. On the positive side: the self-service laundry area was excellent, clean, and comfortable. Also, there's a wide variety of takeout options around the hotel, making ordering food very convenient. These two points are a big plus for business travelers and those staying overnight in transit. While the location, laundry facilities, and takeout options are suitable for a layover, considering the price, the discrepancy in views and breakfast offerings is significant. I'd advise lowering your expectations before checking in."

Hotel near Main Urban Area of Dali (Xiaguan),Dali City
"We really enjoyed our stay here and wish we'd booked more nights here rather than near the Dali old town, it's location is great, the room is really comfortable and the staff are always helpful. The hotel appears to be newly built and a bit rustic upon the first look but is actually a hidden gem. The amenities in the room are great, we especially enjoyed the water pressure. Hotel guests can get vouchers to use the full sized gym on the second floor, which is much better equipped than hotel gyms and super convenient. We would definitely return to stay here next time we're in Dali."

Hotel near Erhai Haidong Scenic Area,Dali City
"Families, come and stay here! It was an amazing experience (not a shill, purely my own voluntary feelings). We loved it so much that on the second day, we decided to extend our stay for a whole week! 🥹 From the welcoming atmosphere, the staff, the accommodation environment, to the food, everything was arranged to meet guests' needs. For two young people who usually skip breakfast, the fact that we consistently had breakfast for a whole week speaks volumes about the freshness and deliciousness of the food! The environment is very artistic, comfortable, and clean, with many spots perfect for handsome guys and beautiful ladies to take photos! The boss, staff, manager, and butler were all incredibly enthusiastic and we're so grateful for their thoughtful hospitality towards us, visitors from out of town 💖 This will definitely be our top choice in Dali again next time!!"

Hotel near Gucheng,Dali City
"This is the first guesthouse that genuinely made me want to write a good review! What started as a last-minute booking turned into a delightful surprise. As soon as we got out of the car, the owner immediately came over to help with all our luggage. They then warmly offered us freshly made flower cakes and upgraded our room directly. Whether it was doing laundry or having breakfast, all we had to do was tell the front desk, and they would deliver it straight to our room. At check-out, they even gave us a souvenir. The service was thoughtful and meticulous throughout, with attention to detail evident everywhere. Service is just a bonus; let's talk about the guesthouse itself. It's located right by the main road, making it convenient for taxis. The location is within walking distance of the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, and you can also easily rent electric scooters nearby by scanning a QR code to explore the entire ancient city. It's close to the ancient city yet far enough to escape its hustle and bustle, allowing you to quietly enjoy your vacation time in your room. The guesthouse boasts a high-end design, and the rooms are impeccably clean. You can see staff cleaning the public areas and corridors constantly. The entire place is smart-home equipped, and all products used are from well-known brands, showing the owner's commitment to quality. Wishing them flourishing business!"
