Hotel near Main Urban Area of Dali (Xiaguan),Dali City
"The room was absolutely fantastic! You could see the river right from the window, and the view was incredible. The hotel's decor was also really unique, and the service was excellent. On our first day, we arrived in Dali quite early, and they were able to store our luggage for us. We stayed for two nights, and the front desk staff was truly wonderful. Our child especially loved the lady at the front desk; she was so warm and friendly every time we came and went. She even gave our child a fridge magnet! We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Dali."

Hotel near Binhai Avenue,Dali City
"Facilities: Our first hotel in Dali was tiny and run-down, practically uninhabitable, so we quickly switched to this one the next day for the same price. The room is large and spacious, with a separate wet and dry area, and the shower water doesn't leak onto the bathroom floor. Besides street parking right outside, the hotel also has its own small parking lot that can fit a little over 10 cars if you squeeze. However, because it's small, you often have to move your car or wait for others to move theirs when entering or exiting. Cleanliness: Overall, the cleanliness is good. The bedding and bathroom counter are clean. Environment: The hotel is in the city center. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Haizhe Park without traffic, just for reference. Service: The handsome young man at the front desk provided attentive service, speaking softly and politely, and he helped coordinate vehicle movements for both entry and exit."

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!"

Hotel near Gucheng,Dali City
"We booked a courtyard room, which was quite spacious and the environment was decent. However, for the price, it felt a bit overpriced for a courtyard room; it essentially just added a balcony, and the 'courtyard' itself was very basic. The service was truly subpar. We waited at the front desk to check in, and no one paid attention to us. Later arrivals were immediately helped by staff. Because my child wasn't feeling well, I directly asked who could help with check-in. I was told there were no rooms ready and it would take 40 minutes for cleaning. I mentioned my child had a cold and needed to get in quickly, so they arranged another room for us to wait in while ours was cleaned. Just as we reached that room, a staff member chased after us to say our original room was ready and we could switch immediately. This was after being told 40 minutes earlier – it was quite a hassle. The service was indeed lacking; waiting at the front desk for check-in, no one acknowledged us or proactively offered assistance."

Hotel near Main Urban Area of Dali (Xiaguan),Dali City
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Location, Great Facilities, Needs Minor Refinements 🌟 Highlights: My overall stay was very good! The hotel design is stylish, the room size is ample, and the natural light is fantastic, making for a very comfortable stay. The breakfast selection was rich and tasty. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and efficient with the check-in process. The best part is the location: it's only 2 km from the high-speed rail station, a few minutes' taxi ride away. The surrounding commercial facilities are very complete, making dining and shopping extremely convenient. The parking lot is also spacious, which is great for self-driving guests. 💡 Constructive Suggestions: 1. About shuttle service: Given its proximity to the high-speed rail station, adding a shuttle service would greatly enhance the guest experience! 2. Laundry room shortage: Currently, there are only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers. During peak season like summer vacation, this is definitely not enough, leading to long queues. I recommend expanding the capacity. 3. Understated signage: The exterior signage is not very noticeable. In contrast, the Hanting next door is visible at a glance. I suggest making the hotel's sign brighter and more prominent. ⚠️ Areas for Improvement: On the 6th floor, in the public guest area, some guests were smoking, and the smell was quite strong with no one intervening. I hope the hotel strengthens its non-smoking policy enforcement. Summary: The hotel has a very strong foundation. If the shuttle service and laundry queue issues are resolved, it would definitely be the top choice hotel near the high-speed rail station!"

When you open the room door, there are large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides – one side overlooking Erhai Lake and the other with views of Cangshan Mountain. The scenery is absolutely beautiful."

Hotel near Erhai Haixi Scenic Area,Dali City
Here's the English translation: Just a five-minute drive from Xizhou Ancient Town and an equally brief five-minute stroll to the shores of Erhai Lake, this boutique hotel is converted from traditional Bai-style earthen dwellings and thoughtfully preserves the square courtyard and Chinese courtyard layout. Harmonising traditional rammed-earth and timber structures with modern comfort, it creates an intimate retreat that blends ethnic warmth with contemporary aesthetics. The hotel features 59 guest rooms, many with private balconies, allowing you to sit back and watch the clouds drift over Cangshan Mountain without leaving your room. A panoramic restaurant, an open-air Instagram-worthy swimming pool, and a full range of facilities cater both to leisurely getaways and to memorable events such as weddings and brand launches. Wake to the morning light dancing on Erhai Lake, soak in the cool pool waters in the afternoon — every moment of ease here is your very own unique comfort and tranquility.

"Choosing Ocheon Hotel was the best decision we made during our week-long trip to Dali. My girlfriend and I were both extremely satisfied with this hotel. **Facilities**: This is a newly opened hotel from 2026, just listed on Trip.com last month. The facilities and public areas are all very new and thoughtfully designed with unique touches. The laundry room has two high-capacity washing machines and dryers, which are more than sufficient. There's also a swimming pool out front, perfect for families traveling with children. **Buffet Breakfast**: The buffet breakfast is truly a highlight with unique hotel characteristics. From the honeycomb to the freshly baked Erkuai (a local snack), and what the manager mentioned about future additions like ham, it's clear Ocheon puts a lot of effort into its food. As guests, the experience felt very fresh, and the quality was absolutely top-notch. **Environment**: It's close to Haishe Park, easily reachable on foot, and very quiet at night, ensuring a good night's sleep. **Service**: The service is truly five-star. From the welcome drinks and luggage assistance to the room upon check-in, to helping with luggage to the car at check-out, everyone was incredibly enthusiastic. The front desk staff were all very professional and attentive. **Xunwei Bai Cuisine (Lunch/Dinner – choose one)**: The dishes were very much to our taste. Since we prefer Guangdong flavors and can't handle too much spice, we specifically requested less chili. So, even the stir-fried pork with chili had visible chilies but wasn't spicy at all, making it very appetizing. The only issue was the portion size; it was too generous for just two of us, especially after having a substantial buffet breakfast. However, the taste was absolutely fantastic."

Walmart is a 10-minute walk and Kunbai Taiye Plaza 5 minutes' drive — everyday local life right at hand.

"I was very satisfied with my stay. The hotel's overall environment was clean and elegant. The room was spacious, and the cleanliness was meticulous. Facilities like the bathroom and appliances were in good working order and provided a pleasant experience. The staff were friendly and gentle, check-in and check-out were efficient, and communication was smooth when issues arose. The surrounding area has convenient transportation, making dining and getting around effortless. The guest room area was quiet at night, allowing for good rest. Overall, there were no disappointments; everything exceeded expectations, and the price was reasonable. It was a very pleasant accommodation experience. I will definitely book here again if I return to the area and would recommend it to friends traveling here."

"Our car charter experience for this trip was absolutely perfect! The driver was not only enthusiastic, thoughtful, and genuinely kind, but he also transformed into a 'mobile tour guide,' patiently explaining the scenery along the way. The itinerary was well-planned and smooth, with no hidden costs whatsoever, truly making it a worry-free and transparent experience. We successively visited all the popular spots, including the famous 'S' Bay, Xizhou Ancient Town, Zhoucheng Tie-dye Workshop, Shuanglang Ancient Town, Ideal State Santorini, and Xiao Putuo. The time management was just right – we never felt rushed, yet we had ample time to fully appreciate the charm of each attraction. The driver also thoughtfully shared many local-only tips for sightseeing and dining, making our trip even more authentic and interesting. The entire lake-round trip was comfortable and relaxing; we didn't have to worry about routes or time at all, truly achieving a 'lie flat' style of travel. I highly recommend this driver to anyone planning a trip around Erhai Lake in Dali – choosing him is definitely the right decision!"
