The room features solid wood furniture paired with marble finishes, creating a warm and elegant ambiance, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. Opening the window reveals a panoramic view of rolling mountains; sitting quietly by the window, the gentle mountain breeze instantly washes away the hustle and bustle. A special thank you to the housekeeper, Xiao Sun, for his warm and attentive service, always responding promptly and thoughtfully to my needs. The entire guesthouse exudes a refined and artistic atmosphere, with a comfortable layout and impeccable cleanliness. Spending leisurely moments gazing at the mountains and enjoying the rare tranquility made for an unforgettable mountain retreat, definitely worth a special trip back. A heartfelt recommendation!! They were incredibly thoughtful, even providing face masks and lip balm! Highly recommended, excellent value for money!

Yanxiu Mountain Residence Hotels in Dali City

Yanxiu Mountain Residence

"The navigation was accurate; turn right into a small alley just past the uphill section on the right-hand side of the street. I booked a sea-view room with a window at the Ctrip member rate. Traveling during the off-season, the price was excellent. The front desk staff member was proactive and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. Upon entering, there were three beautiful, somewhat bored but adorable cats in cages. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, who, though we only exchanged a few words, radiated elegance, warmth, and generosity. Both the interior design and the outdoor garden of the hotel offered a striking contrast, vibrant colors, a strong exotic vibe, and lush greenery. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and the bathroom featured a smart Toto toilet. It's essential to book a sea-view room; the mountains are visible as soon as you open the door, and the view is stunning from the window. It should be even more comfortable in winter, with lazy, warm sunshine greeting you early in the morning. It's not far from Dali Old Town, about 900 meters away, a little over a ten-minute walk. However, be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back, which helps with digestion and provides good exercise. The breakfast is a set meal, just the right quantity and well-balanced. The butler's exclusive service was especially heartwarming and thoughtful. Due to my medication, they specifically arranged for me to be served breakfast first. Such attention to detail truly shows their quality. If you get the chance, this place is definitely worth a visit."

They thoughtfully explained the local routes, kindly helped with our luggage, and even surprised us with a souvenir. This place is definitely highly recommended!"

Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay ★★★★
"The room was spotless and very comfortable. It had a sleek, modern design, exactly my style. Smart controls added to the convenience. The room was also very spacious. Although it was a bit pricier than other places nearby, I found it to be absolutely worth it. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are: no power outlet under the desk, which made using a laptop a bit inconvenient, and no clothes rack in the bathroom. Opening the window revealed a mountain view, and outside the door were charming farmhouse landscapes – it was so peaceful and lovely. There were sunflowers right by the entrance. I especially want to commend the staff (both male and female) for their excellent service; calling it five-star service wouldn't be an exaggeration. They gave great travel recommendations, suggested places to eat, and offered comprehensive touring advice. Breakfast included coffee and tea, and there were even late-night snacks and bedtime desserts. I absolutely loved it. My younger sister really enjoyed playing with their dog. The large map at the entrance was fantastic – a direct guide to local attractions and activities."

Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel ★★★★
"Choosing the Songyun Banshan Hotel for my Dali trip was an absolute treasure! The pure white cliffside architecture creates an incredible atmosphere, and the unobstructed hillside views offer panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The infinity pool and cave cafe are perfect for stunning photoshopped-looking shots, and the hotel even provides a complimentary travel photoshoot. The rooms are clean and bright, with panoramic French windows and a viewing balcony. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the smart home features throughout the room are a thoughtful touch. Our butler, Allen, provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from handling our luggage to promptly responding to all our needs. The breakfast ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's a quiet and healing escape from the bustling city, perfect for couples or a girls' getaway. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dali. Highly recommend!"

"A fantastic hotel. Compared to the ridiculously overpriced guesthouses in Haixi (priced around 2000 RMB), the service and facilities here are top-notch. Welcome fruit, evening sweet soup, a generous breakfast, and the convenient late check-out – everything is on par with a five-star hotel. Xiao Yang and the receptionist were incredibly polite, and the landlady was also warm and beautiful."

"The hotel's overall landscape and environment are excellent, truly living up to the Lux* brand's reputation. The breakfast, in particular, was incredibly rich and varied. For those traveling with kids, the play area is amazing! It features three climbing frames and accompanying accessories from the Avdar brand, which is a rare find. It's also a safer alternative to ball pits, with less risk of infection. This definitely deserves a big thumbs up!"
