Dali City Hotels with balcony

Choosing Yunying Chunxiao·Shuiyuan is truly a love-filled experience. The hotel is right on the shore of Erhai Lake, offering stunning views of the sea right from your window. Enjoying the sunset in the evening and falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night is incredibly therapeutic. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a simple yet sophisticated décor and complete with smart devices, making the stay super convenient. Our butler, Ms. Su, was incredibly attentive and helpful, assisting with itinerary planning and recommending off-the-beaten-path attractions. From breakfast and evening sweet soup, the attention to detail was impeccable. The complimentary travel photography experience was also excellent; the photographer was very professional, taking photos in the public areas that turned out beautifully, and the rooftop camera position for panoramic views of Erhai Lake was absolutely stunning. If you want to experience a truly slow-paced life in Shuanglang, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

The owner is really nice, patient and helpful. My Chinese isn’t really good but he was understanding. I wasn’t feeling well and he was very kind to check up on me with an oxygen canister. He will also bring you down to the bus stop. The place is really clean and had really nice views. It was really one of the best stays I had. Will highly recommend! The breakfast was really wholesome and hearty too. They also have really cute pets.Do ask him any questions you have regarding the routes around Dali or even to other cities!

This hotel experience was absolutely fantastic, five stars! It's very close to Erhai Airport and offers a free pick-up service, making transportation super convenient. The hotel boasts stunning views; you can admire the beautiful Erhai Lake right from your room. The service is incredibly attentive, with staff who are warm and thoughtful. The biggest surprise was the dining: the homemade breakfast was prepared with great care, the afternoon tea was exquisite, and they thoughtfully provided complimentary fruit and cake, all of which tasted excellent. Room service was also very prompt, making for a truly comfortable stay. In summary, the environment, service, and dining are all impeccable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time!

The room was very clean, the environment was great, and it was pretty soundproof. The front desk lady was also very nice and even gave us extra breakfast. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. You can see the sunset from the balcony in the evening, and it was very convenient to wash and dry clothes. The scenery in Dali is also beautiful.

The hotel arranged two connecting rooms for my parents and me perfectly. I absolutely loved the entrance garden; it added such a lovely touch and made our trip feel so much sweeter. Definitely a great experience!

This is a recently announced four-star B&B in Dali. Hahaha, I booked it after seeing it. The taxi we called didn't go directly to Caicun, so we had to go through a small alley. However, it's very close to the ecological corridor, just across the lawn from the back door. I highly recommend the Erhai Ecological Corridor. We were upgraded during the off-season, and I stayed there for two nights. The bedding, amenities, and cleanliness were all very thoughtful. I complained about the loud air conditioning, but the front desk lady brought a radiator up, and I slept very well that night. The B&B is very eco-friendly, and while it's all green, there weren't any bugs in the room, which is a real plus. The small rooftop garden in Figure 4 is beautiful, but it was a shame that it rained every day in Dali that day, so I didn't get to see the sunrise.

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.

My stay was exceptionally good. The place is very clean and elegant, and both the garden and the rooms are beautiful. The owner is incredibly warm and attentive, answering all my travel guide questions perfectly. The service was comprehensive! The environment is stunning, and my stay felt very cozy. There are also many coffee shops nearby to check out, and taking a stroll in the ancient city right outside is lovely. The owner generously shared her delicious food with guests. Her breakfast is fantastic, especially the rice noodles which are absolutely incredible, and the coffee is super good too! When I was there, guests came from all over, and everyone was so friendly. I even made new friends, new international friends! I plan to stay here every time I visit Dali!

The view was fantastic; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my room. Service was excellent, with very efficient pick-up and drop-off services, and they even offered traditional clothing for photoshoots. The food was delicious; the Bai ethnic chef, working unhurriedly and methodically, prepared everything perfectly. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

The guesthouse is located in Wase. It lacks the fame and hustle-bustle of Shuanglang, nor does it have the fairytale romance of Santorini (Lixiangbang), but here you can admire Xiao Putuo in the distance, watch the sunset 🌅, and watch seagulls slowly gliding low. It's like a hidden gem that is just ”wow” enough! I managed to capture some truly satisfying family portraits here, and I was over the moon! The guesthouse offers a complimentary photography service along with outfits (the clothes are very clean) and 5 free retouched photos, with additional photos at 30 RMB each. The shoot takes place right on the property. The hair and makeup are done by a local young woman at her home-based studio nearby; she was easy to communicate with and her rates were reasonable. I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire photography session—it was a super nice experience! The butler team checked in on me daily in the group chat to ask what I wanted for afternoon tea, which could even be thoughtfully delivered to the room. Not bad at all! The service was so heartwarming—it really gave that feeling of a home away from home!
