Romantic Hotels in Dali City

This guesthouse offers a fantastic experience! As soon as you step through the main gate, you're greeted by a charming garden with beautiful flowers and plants. Plus, there are 10 cats and 2 dogs to play with. The room itself is spacious and tidy, and they've added some really thoughtful touches like a foot bath tub, a clothes dryer, complimentary fruit and snacks, and a direct drinking water dispenser 👍. There's also a laundry room on the rooftop (with both a washer and dryer) and a drying area. I highly recommend staying here when you visit Dali! [Awesome]

The hotel's location is great, and the rooms and other facilities are excellent. The staff were very welcoming and provided a fantastic experience. We were traveling with our child and parents, so we booked two sea-view rooms where we could enjoy direct views of Erhai Lake from our beds. There's a bike return point nearby, which made it very convenient to explore the ecological corridor. The breakfast was plentiful, and there were snacks available all day in the lounge area, which both our parents and child absolutely loved.

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!

This stay exceeded my expectations. The breakfast selection was rich, catering to both Chinese and Western tastes, and even offered freshly cooked rice noodles. The ingredients were fresh, and dining with a view of Erhai Lake was a truly healing and leisurely experience. The room's cleanliness was impeccable; the entire space was spotless and odor-free. The bedding was soft, and the bathroom was dry and clean. Housekeeping did a thorough daily tidy-up, paying attention to every detail. The butler service was attentive and efficient, coordinating our itinerary in advance and responding promptly to requests, quickly resolving any needs. They even provided sweet soup and fresh fruit in the evening, adding a heartwarming touch. With its prime Erhai Lake view, it's perfect for both leisurely vacations and short-term stays. A highly recommended choice when visiting Dali.

The environment is clean and tidy, with a courtyard and a large terrace. The breakfast is rich and delicious, and can even be delivered to the room. When we went out without hats, we saw one at the front desk and asked the lady if we could borrow it. She immediately handed it to us! In the evening, there was also a delicious golden ear soup, which is quite suitable for girls. This is my second stay here. My first experience was great, and the environment was lovely, with four cats and a Border Collie. Because of that good experience, I chose this place again. This time, I didn't confirm my booking time early enough, so I had to book day by day, which meant changing rooms every day. However, on the second day, the front desk staff thoughtfully upgraded our room for the third day, saving us a lot of hassle! There was plenty of breakfast. As someone who doesn't usually like rice noodles, their minced meat rice noodles opened up a new world for me; they're still delicious 😋. Next time I'm in Dali, I'll definitely choose this place again. It's great value for money! The service is attentive and highly recommended! It's not noisy at night, and the soundproofing is good. They basically grant every request; when I asked if they had a thermometer, the staff immediately brought one up! So thoughtful ❤️. I highly recommend everyone to stay here. It's also super photogenic for pictures!

The moment I opened the door, I was instantly wowed. The view of Erhai Lake from the room is absolutely spectacular — photos can only capture about 70% of its beauty. In person, it's a hundred times more stunning. . The room is extremely comfortable, with a well-designed bathroom layout featuring separate areas for the toilet, shower, and vanity, plus a beautiful soaking tub. Every amenity in the room is perfect and of very high quality — especially the toilet, which comes with both a bidet spray and a fully automatic function. . The bed is incredibly soft. After a full day of sightseeing on foot, I slept like a log — and a relaxing warm soak beforehand made it even better. . Upon arrival, afternoon tea and snacks were served, which was such a lovely way to unwind after the journey. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful in every way. . Breakfast includes noodle soup and congee, along with fruit, hot dogs, and yogurt. . The hotel also offers airport and train station transfers, which is very convenient. . The location is not far from attractions such as Santorini and other nearby sights. . For getting around Erhai Lake, renting a car to explore at your own pace is the most efficient option. If you don't have a rental, you can use Didi (ride-hailing) or take the sightseeing bus — though with the bus, you can only board and alight at designated stops. . One more tip: Didi is available around Erhai Lake until quite late at night and can drop you right at the hotel, so don't worry if you want to stay out a little longer before heading back. ---

You can get there directly by taxi, but the roads in the village are relatively narrow. The environment inside and outside the room is pretty much like the photos shown by the guesthouse owner. The decor is quite nice and pleasing to the eye, and there were almost no insects (the only one was a very sluggish fly I squashed in the room). They have two cute little cats and a pond full of koi. The owner helps with luggage and arranges pick-up/drop-off services (the price is normal). They also recommend a driver for a day tour charter (the price is even slightly cheaper than on Ctrip, but pretty much the same). They also recommend good Ersi noodle shops. The rice noodles the owner cooked for breakfast were delicious. I checked out early and missed breakfast, but they still gave me four fresh flower cakes. I stayed for two nights, and on the second day, they provided new amenities, but didn't make the bed or anything (which isn't a big deal). Because it's in a relatively central location, it's generally quiet. They provide bath towels, bathrobes, disposable compressed towels, hand cream, aloe vera gel, and new full bottles of toiletries when they're running low.

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.

This guesthouse was such an amazing surprise! The sea-view room offered a stunning perspective, allowing us to gaze at the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from the bed. The sunset in the evening created an incredible atmosphere and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful—every casual snapshot taken with the original camera settings turned out Instagram-worthy. The butler service was attentive and thoughtful, and they even offered complimentary coffee every day, making the overall experience simply fantastic. The free photography service 📸 featuring a professional photographer was just the cherry on top. Absolutely loved it!

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective! The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.
