The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★

📍 No. 388 Renmin Road, Dali City

"Absolutely loved the Wabi-sabi style king room! The sophisticated minimalist decor is elegant and timeless. The king-size bed was super comfortable for a great night's sleep, and the window-side table and chairs were perfect for enjoying the view and relaxing. The facilities are excellent, the bathroom was clean and fresh, and both lighting and ventilation were superb. The environment is quiet and refined, and the cleanliness was meticulous. It's my top choice for any trip! The Italian aesthetic is fully embraced; the room is clean and comfortable, and the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom are very convenient. The courtyard common area is cozy and relaxing. The overall living experience was fantastic, definitely worth returning for! The location here is excellent. It's right by the Erhai Gate, and nearby there are snack shops, convenience stores, dining options, and even makeup services. It's also very close to Erhai Gate, with many car rental options available. It’s a great base for exploring!"

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali
9.6 (1,296 reviews)

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★

📍 No. 15 Renmin Road, Dali Ancient City, Dali City

"Yuntang Hotel is a special, tucked-away little oasis in the heart of Dali Ancient City! I was very impressed by the cleanliness and design of the room — it's very calming with a lot of wood elements and seemingly Japanese-inspired design. The breakfast was on the simple side for Chinese hotel breakfasts (not as many choices), but I thought it was delicious and nutritious. The staff were quietly friendly and helpful. I would definitely come stay here again."

📍 Building A2-1-015, Phase 2 (Zone B) , Cang'er Yingxiang Golden Coast Manor, Manjiang Area, Economic Development Zone, Dali City

"The guesthouse seemed newly opened; the decor was simple, clean, and hygienic. The rooms were lovely, especially those with balconies, which were perfect for enjoying tea and the breeze. Their rooftop terrace directly faces Erhai Lake, so if you don't want to go out in the morning, you can relax on the rooftop, gazing at the lake and sipping tea. The housekeeper was also very helpful and easy to communicate with. A very satisfying stay."

"Location: This place is quite close to the train station; you can see it right after exiting, though you do have to cross a pedestrian bridge first. The location is super convenient for ordering food delivery, snacks, fruits, and even clothes, all of which arrive quickly. Facilities: The room isn't huge, but it's perfectly adequate and clean. There's also a cute little teapot for enjoying tea. The parking lot is a bit small, so you might have to wait to get a spot. Service: The front desk staff are very friendly and provide great service."

Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel

"The hotel staff helped us with our luggage and even upgraded our room for free. The hotel breakfast was also plentiful. There's a convenience store right outside the hotel, and the prices are reasonable. You can see Erhai Lake after a short walk, and it's very close to Love Sea Shopping Plaza, which is super convenient."

Sanse Yunhe Inn (Dali Shuanglang Bohai Snow Store) Hotels in Dali City

Sanse Yunhe Inn (Dali Shuanglang Bohai Snow Store)

"I stayed for two nights in Shuanglang, and the experience was absolutely perfect. Even before I arrived, the butler proactively contacted me and met us at the intersection. They helped with our luggage all the way to the room, so I didn't have to lift a finger the entire time – truly a godsend for lazy people like me. The room even had makeup remover wipes and face masks, which were thoughtful little touches that really added to the experience. The projector had a clear picture, and it was so cozy to curl up in bed and watch movies. Just outside the window was Erhai Lake, and on a cloudy, rainy day, the water looked misty and ethereal, like an ink wash painting – every photo I took looked amazing. They also offered a complimentary travel photoshoot, and the photographer was excellent at finding the best angles; the pictures were instantly shareable on social media. When checking out, they even gave us a box of brown sugar as a souvenir, saying it was for the ladies – so incredibly thoughtful! Overall, there was absolutely nothing to complain about during my stay. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Dali."

"The butler service was very warm and welcoming; they even brought us fruit when we returned in the evening.

Honglongjing Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Honglongjing Hotel

"The hotel's location is excellent; the old town is right outside the door, and it's very quiet at night, no noise at all. Since I was traveling with a child, the hotel proactively contacted me to ask if I wanted to switch to a larger bed room. After we declined, they thoughtfully pushed the beds together. They also gifted us some beautiful flower cakes and yogurt."

Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch) Hotels in Dali City

Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)

"Came to Dali with my classmates and stayed for three days – the experience was absolutely fantastic! The owner was very approachable and always replied promptly. As soon as we arrived, they helped us plan a free itinerary, which saved us from all sorts of tourist traps. The guesthouse is super close to the Ancient City entrance, just a few minutes' walk to browse all the little shops and food stalls. Taking a taxi to Erhai Lake was also very affordable. Our room was spotlessly clean, and even with multiple people, it didn't feel cramped. The bedding was soft, and the hot water supply was consistent. The courtyard is a lovely spot to chat and take photos, quiet and peaceful. The breakfast rice noodles were generously portioned and authentic. The owner even helped us with parking. It’s perfect for students on a budget. Highly recommend it to anyone traveling with friends!"

Hampton by Hilton Dali Erhai Park ★★★★
"During peak season in Dali, hotels are quite expensive. Since I was on a business trip, I chose a hotel close to the train station, and it turned out to be a great choice. First, the location is super convenient, just a 6-7 minute walk from the train station, easily accessible by crossing a pedestrian bridge. The train station also has buses going to the ancient city. Plus, that pedestrian bridge area is a transportation hub with many public transport routes. Second, the hotel is very clean, and the rooms are excellent, even better than some older five-star hotels I've stayed in. Third, there's a laundry room on the second floor with both washers and dryers, which is perfect for long-term travelers, especially during the summer."

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"Exceptional location, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service! The location of this resort is prime—it is hard to believe that such a peaceful and beautiful oasis is just 200 meters away from the East Gate of Dali Ancient Town. There are plenty of food options nearby, especially around the gate area. We experienced a minor room booking mix-up upon arrival. We originally booked the SUJING room, but the hotel assigned us to the YINJI room (B102), which was larger and even more beautiful. They kindly offered us to stay in B102 for both nights, but we still wanted to try our original room on the 2nd floor as well. That said, the YINJI room (B102) was absolutely fantastic—extremely quiet, comfortable, and highly recommended! Breakfast was rich in carbs, served in traditional Yunnan style. The young staff members were wonderfully attentive and helpful, using translation apps very effectively to communicate with us. Overall, a fantastic stay that I would happily recommend!"

"This ocean-view room was absolutely divine! The decor was incredibly luxurious, from the furniture and decorations to the wall design, everything exuded sophistication. The entire room felt brand new, like it had just been put into use, and everything was smooth and hassle-free. The room was incredibly comfortable; the soft, plush bedding made me never want to get out. The best part was the unobstructed ocean view right outside the window. The gentle, soothing sound of the waves was so pleasant, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the stars and the waves at night—it was truly a therapeutic experience!"
