Romantic Hotels in Dali City

"This hotel was great! The location is right in front of the erhai lake, with one of the most beautiful views I have seen yet. Dali is a gorgeous city with lot's to offer, and I think this is a great location if you want to explore a bit more, not just the ancient city. I loved that in the reception they offer free tea (lose leafs, good quality) and have an entire tea ceremony table with everything you need to enjoy the view from the reception. My room was very clean, and they replaced towels and whatever was needed daily. The reception staff was very sweet. The shower had great water pressure and temperature... 5 stars for sure!"

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing. What stood out most was the excellent service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and responsive to our requests, always ready to assist with a smile. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!"

"This guesthouse was a real gem I discovered during my Dali trip! The owner, a fellow Shandong native, was incredibly warm and made the entire stay absolutely delightful. Choosing this lakeside guesthouse was the luckiest part of my Dali journey. Its location is impeccable, right by Erhai Lake and close to both Dali Ancient City and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The guesthouse even offers electric scooter rentals, a one-stop solution for all your transportation needs. Upon checking in, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the owner was from Shandong, which instantly made me feel at home and incredibly relaxed, a true feeling of 'coming home' while traveling. Our rented electric scooter couldn't go directly to the lakeside, so the owner proactively sent us precise parking directions – such thoughtful and meticulous attention to detail! They also provided an extensive list of local culinary recommendations, meticulously planning out breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so we didn't have to do any research ourselves; our entire eating and entertainment experience was worry-free. We stayed in the 'Lotus Pond' room type, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and had a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Cangshan Mountain, offering healing and comfortable views of low, soft clouds. The cleanliness was impeccable, making for a highly comfortable stay. The most heartwarming surprise was at checkout: the owner thoughtfully gave each of us a Dali refrigerator magnet – a small gift filled with genuine sincerity. Whether it was the location, the amenities, or the human touch, this guesthouse far exceeded my expectations. It's my top choice for Dali, highly recommended, and I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit!"

"A very satisfying stay! The lobby is grand and impressive, and the overall environment is excellent. A special shout-out to the front desk staff – they were incredibly warm, polite, and efficient in handling everything, which made the check-in process very smooth and comfortable. They even gave us complimentary welcome fruits and snacks. The room itself was well-equipped, the bed was super comfortable, and it was a really nice room overall! The location is also fantastic; there are tons of great food spots right outside the hotel, and you can walk to the Old Town pedestrian street in just one minute, which is incredibly convenient! Dali is truly beautiful, and I'll definitely be back next time! I'll also be recommending this hotel to my friends."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Yuanlu Hotel. My entire stay was perfectly comfortable with absolutely no downsides! The location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for getting around, shopping, and finding food, without needing to stress about planning routes. The hotel itself is very new, and the guest rooms feature modern, smart facilities. They are clean, tidy, and comfortably laid out, making for a refreshing and upscale stay. The staff's service is attentive and thoughtful, responding promptly to any needs. Every small detail shows their meticulous care, making you feel completely at home. The breakfast quality exceeded expectations, with a wide variety of delicious options. I must especially praise the freshly ground handmade soy milk – it was incredibly fragrant, warm, and subtly sweet, clearly made with quality ingredients. The complimentary afternoon tea was an extra delightful surprise; the presentation was exquisite and refined, and the pastries were thoughtfully paired and just the right sweetness without being cloying. Enjoying tea and desserts at the hotel in the afternoon created a wonderful ambiance. It’s perfect for both solo travel and small gatherings. This will be my top choice for future trips!"
