"The room was very clean and tidy, with a great environment right across from the sea. The butler service was so attentive; they even came to pick us up when it was pouring rain. It made me feel really warm inside while in Dali. I'll definitely come again."

"The showerhead in the room was faulty and couldn't be fixed in place, so I had to hold it while showering, which was very inconvenient. Secondly, there were no special amenities; no sweets or snacks were provided. The sofa was covered in large patches of grime and was very dirty. Aside from its slightly better location, I wouldn't recommend staying here."

Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel Hotels in Dali City

Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel

"This stay completely exceeded my expectations, and I have to give the hotel a big shout-out. From the moment we checked in, the staff were incredibly warm and attentive. They proactively helped with our luggage, patiently guided us on local sightseeing routes, and even suggested great spots for sunrise viewing. Any questions we had were answered gently and meticulously. The service was thoughtful and just right – never intrusive, which made us feel incredibly welcome. The lake view room we booked offered an absolutely stunning vista; standing by the window, we could take in the entire Erhai Lake. In our free time, sitting on the balcony, enjoying the gentle breeze from the lake, gazing at the clear water and the rolling green mountains in the distance, with clouds lazily drifting across the sky – it was so peaceful and therapeutic. The room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. Relaxing indoors and enjoying the view was incredibly comfortable and refreshing, instantly washing away the fatigue of travel."

"Tired of the monotonous daily grind, I decided to take a break and clear my head. Dali during the off-season is quite pleasant; it’s lovely to just walk around and explore. Alternatively, picking a nice, comfortable hotel to unwind and breathe is also a great option... (After much deliberation, I finally booked this one.) As soon as you open the door, you can see the Cangshan Mountains, flowing clouds, and the ancient town. Walk a short distance downstairs and you’re at Dali Ancient Town. It’s a perfect location, quiet yet convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. The room features tasteful soft furnishings and furniture. The common areas are also very well-designed, blending contemporary art and modern minimalism with Bai ethnic elements. Every corner offers a beautiful view, creating a wonderful ambiance... I particularly love the swimming pool on the second floor and the rooftop terrace. They're perfect for relaxing or enjoying afternoon tea. It’s good to allow yourself to 'waste' time on beautiful things."

"The views are great, and the prices are surprisingly good. However, there's no food available after 7 PM, only BBQ. It's a bit far from the ancient town, so you'll need an electric scooter to get around. The owner, an uncle, runs the place himself and is very welcoming and provides excellent service. They offer complimentary fruit upon check-in and delicious, freshly prepared breakfast in the morning. Absolutely wonderful!"

"Nice looking hotel with a very good location near Dali Ancient City. Clean and new looking hotel. The hotel was full and because we checked in late, We were given a free upgrade so.... Service very good too 😂. Was confident this hotel would get a 5/5 but... On the second day there was no refill of the rooms mineral water. Also on the second day, there was no butter at the breakfast service. So unfortunately, had to deduct 1 star for amenities."

"This is my favorite inn I've stayed at in Dali. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought and effort into running it. From the moment you walk in, to the lobby, stairs, hallways, and balconies, every design element is incredibly thoughtful. There are sofas in every corner, perfect for lounging around. I visited in May during hydrangea season, and seeing all the flowers and plants was so therapeutic. I didn't even need to leave; I could have stayed inside all day without getting bored. And if you love animals, they have cats too!"

The location is perfect, right by the East Gate of the old town, and there's a snack street right outside. Overall, a fantastic experience! I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Dali."

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"The hotel just right by the main road. Easy to be founded. It was really disappointed to climb up to level 3 with our 30kg bags. The room was spacious for us with a nice view. The staff brought the drinks to our room and help to order some food. We bought different room for the next day. Unfortunately we were told that the room was in another building. So we cancelled the room since it was not stated in the details when we did the booking. Other than that we got nothing to complain about."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"Spirited Silky Inn truly made our stay in Dali unforgettable. The hotel's design is beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. A special thank you to Xiao Hui and Xiao Deng, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. The hotel kindly provided vouchers for Hanfu costume experiences. While the complimentary package did not include makeup and photography, these services were available upon request, so I would recommend asking the staff if you're interested. We also want to thank Huan Huan and her team for taking such great care of our family during the photoshoot. The experience was enjoyable, professional, and completely free of any hard selling. As we were leaving for Kunming, Xiao Deng even helped us with our heavy luggage and surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag filled with local treats from the hotel. Such gestures made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Thank you to the entire team at Spirited Silky Inn for the wonderful hospitality, excellent service, and great value. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali."

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"The B&B's location is fantastic; you can drive right up to the entrance, and getting around is super convenient. It's just a short walk west to the old town's core, but the soundproofing is excellent, so it truly offers a peaceful retreat despite being in a lively area. The owner has great taste and an eye for aesthetics. The courtyard is spotless, and they offer a breakfast set. Guests are also very considerate. For this location and price, it's definitely a good deal. Highly recommended! However, in summer, you do need to be mindful of humidity and mosquitoes. But the owner provided mosquito repellent and an electric mosquito swatter, and surprisingly, we had no issues at all at night. We even turned mosquito hunting into a fun game, which my kid absolutely loved!"

"Very nice and charming hotel in the ancient town. The hotel is in a pedestrian street but complementary pick up and drop off service from the nearest road is available. The staff have been very attentive and proactive to make us feel comfortable. The room was very spacious and with good views to a courtyard. This hotel is a very good choice if you want to stay inside the old town and have all the comfort of a 5 star hotel."

The owner is also very nice; not only did he personally make me a small pot of rice noodle breakfast, but he also drove me to the high-speed rail station. I'll definitely come again if I have the chance."
