It is more of a BnB within a condo but comes with an amazing view of Erhai lake. Despite being on the 29th floor, we were surprised to be able to hear noise from cars and people below. The service was great and the host was easily contactable through WeChat to arrange free transport to and from the train station as well as breakfast in the morning and warm milk at night. The biggest downside was the distance from Dali Ancient Town which was about 30mins. But still a good location if you want to be near to the train station and have a great view.

It is exactly looks like the picture they posted on trip.com. the room is spacious enough for 3 of us. The toilet is also spacious enough. It is located near the ancient town. The hotel owner/manager is so communicative and kind and really helpful in helping us finding the location. The owner was also very accomodative because we have an urgency that we need to leave earlier and go back to our town. The room is clean, the ambience is nice, overall it was a nice stay.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Dali Jinze Xiaoyuan Inn (Dali Ancient City South Gate), and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The inn’s location is ideal—just a short 5-minute walk from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, making it extremely convenient for exploring the bustling pedestrian streets and local attractions. Despite being so close to the heart of the city, the inn offers a peaceful and quiet retreat.
The rooms were modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. I particularly appreciated the intelligent features like the automatic heated toilets, blackout curtains, and sensor night lights. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic, and there was always plenty of hot water, temperature is just right which added to the comfort after a long day of sightseeing.
What really made the stay exceptional was the hospitality of the host and staff. They went above and beyond to ensure my trip was memorable, offering valuable tips on local attractions, dining options, and even helping with transportation arrangements. Their warm and friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I’ll never forget the relaxing evening spent chatting with the host over a cup of Chinese tea.
The inn is also close to a charming vegetable market and a street filled with delicious local food options, which made dining out and picking up fresh produce incredibly easy.
Overall, Dali Jinze Xiaoyuan Inn is the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and outstanding service from the host Xiao Liang.

The whole family went out for a trip. We chose the hotel for a long time and read many comments. Finally, we chose this hotel. It looked exactly like the picture. It was very clean and spotless. It was quiet at night. The room facilities were very new, intelligent and convenient. The members' music sounded comfortable. The hotel staff were very enthusiastic. When we met, we talked and greeted like friends. There was a main road outside the hotel. It was very convenient to eat and travel. The outside of the hotel looked ordinary. The inside space was very spacious. Each floor had a large rest area. The top floor also had a viewing terrace, tables and chairs, swings, and fitness areas for everyone to rest and relax. The top floor had a cool breeze. Cool, very comfortable. A very satisfactory post station for this trip. Highly recommended!

Location: it should be really close to the train station. But there are massive construction in the station, that upon exiting the station,we have to first cross the bridge, walk straight and then cross back again. They provide lift and elevator though.
From hotel to departing checkpoint only take 3 minutes.
Close to bus terminal (which is opposite the train station), where we took bus to Dali old town, and to Lixiangbang/Santorini style resort.
There is a convenience store nextdoor that sells even jigsaw puzzle 😁.
Room: we need to turn on the bathroom exhaust fan once the neighbors start smoking, otherwise the cigarettes smell came through (ventilation system I guess).
Breakfast: fulfilling enough cos most are carbs food and vegetables, there are eggs though.
Amenities: complete as stated in hotel's description.

The hotel is located at WenXian Road outside the ancient city of Dali Old City, near the south gate of the ancient city. Vehicles can directly reach the store gate, and walking into the ancient city is very convenient;
The hotel is a traditional architecture of the Bai ethnic group, decorated in a pure ancient style, giving visitors a sense of time travel. The Waterside Pavilion in the store regularly provides guests with Chinese style performances, such as guqin, guzheng, pipa, and ethnic costume performances;
The hotel's guest rooms are fully equipped with amenities, central air conditioning, elevators, and parking lots. We look forward to serving you.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Even before our arrival, the staff—especially 小慧and another kind gentleman whose name we didn’t catch—were incredibly helpful and considerate. They kept checking in and even sent us the location multiple times to ensure we wouldn’t get lost. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with traditional Chinese elements that create a warm, elegant atmosphere—perfect for photos! We were especially impressed by the attentiveness of the staff. Although we initially missed the hotel’s tea session, they kindly offered us new tickets so we could still enjoy the experience. Truly excellent service. Highly recommended!

XXNYLMy friend and I enjoyed our stay in the 'Yunxi 270° Seaview Terrace Double Bed Room' at Dali.Muxi Inn (大理木兮·半山Villa海景民宿). We found this hotel via reviews on XiaoHongShu and the room looked exactly like the stock photos. The hotel and room were beautiful, the hotel staff were very helpful, and we would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Dali and are looking for a hotel with an amazing view of Dali Erhai lake.
Number of nights of stay: 3 nights
Hotel location: The hotel is situated in a quiet but brightly lit residential/hotel estate at the end of winding uphill road (around the Dreamland/Santorini 圣托里尼大理理想邦 area), and is located about 20 minutes away from Dali Railway Station. The vehicle drop-off point is directly outside the hotel. The restaurants around the hotel close at about 8.30pm-9pm
Room: The 'Yunxi 270° Seaview Terrace Double Bed Room' is the only room located on the fifth floor. There is a lift in the hotel so it was convenient to transport our luggage. The room was perfect - it was really spacious, beautiful and clean. There was one king-sized bed, which was slightly too soft for my liking, but the pillows (one soft and one firmer memory foam pillow for each guest) were comfortable. There was a large living area with a sofa, three coffee tables and two additional chairs; balcony with two comfortable rocking chairs, a coffee table and a stunning view of the Erhai lake. The sky roof, when opened, was pretty in the daytime but it was difficult to see the stars at night due to the light pollution from the nearby buildings. The open concept wardrobe was large enough for us to hang our clothes
Bathroom: Two sinks, separate shower and toilet area, one jacuzzi. Toiletries (e.g. shampoo, conditioner and body soap), disposable toothbrush/toothpaste, rubber bathroom slippers and disposable bedroom slippers were provided. The shower had both a handheld shower head and rain shower, with good water pressure and temperature
Hotel amenities: Complimentary breakfast (from 8.30am-10.30am; delicious spread of noodles with soup, porridge, fried egg, bread and vegetable platter) and afternoon tea (Lotus Biscoff biscuits, yoghurt, fruits and plums); cafe at the reception area is opened during office hours and only sells beverages; beautiful reception area with a friendly and gentle 5-year-old house cat; communal washing machine (free of charge, inclusive of laundry detergent)
Transfer: Free airport pick-up for this room type. No free pick-up from Dali railway station
GGuest UserWe had a 2-night stay and the room was on the first floor. There's an elevator that makes it easy to go to higher floors, which is great if you're carrying big or heavy luggage. Even though the room is near the parking lot and people walking by, it was surprisingly soundproof, and we slept well at night. The room and toilet were very clean, and the bed was super soft.
Breakfast was good, and the location is close to Dali Railway Station, though a bit far from the ancient town. The staff was incredibly helpful and polite. The hotel is in a fantastic spot, with the lake right in front, perfect for a leisurely walk during the day or night.
We also had free shuttle service from the railway station to the hotel, but not the other way around. For Muslim, there's no halal restaurant nearby. Need to walk about 1.2km, about 20mins. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay!

GGRACEOur stay at Dali Xingmai Mountain and Sea View Homestay was pleasant overall and a good value for its price, especially if you're seeking a peaceful retreat in the quieter part of Dali. Traveling as a family, we were looking for a place that offered serene sea views, and this homestay mostly delivered on that. While there is some ongoing construction in front of the building that slightly affects the view, the surrounding scenery is still beautiful and calming. The cleanliness of the homestay was satisfactory, and it offers a good range of amenities. The kitchen, in particular, is well-equipped, making it a great option for families or groups of friends planning to cook and enjoy meals together. However, if you're simply traveling for leisure and don't plan to spend much time at the homestay, you may find the kitchen unnecessary. One thing to note is that there is no central air conditioning or heating system. The homestay provides a bed warmer (which works well) and a small air-conditioning unit in the living room, but the bedrooms can get quite chilly at night, especially during winter. It's something to consider if you're visiting during colder months. In terms of location, this homestay is ideal if you're looking to unwind in a quiet and restful environment. However, for those planning a busy schedule with visits to Dali's main attractions, the distance might be a drawback. The homestay is located in a residential area, and getting to most tourist spots can take 45-60 minutes by car, whether you're heading to the west or east side of Erhai Lake. There are also no nearby F&B stores except one small restaurant in the building next door so make sure you eat in the city areas before coming back to the inn. That said, if you're staying for a longer duration and prefer a relaxed, free-and-easy itinerary, this could be a suitable choice given its amenities like the kitchen and laundry facilities. It's also worth mentioning that this homestay feels more like an Airbnb than a traditional inn. It's situated in a residential building, with the entrance being a carpark and access through an elevator to a residential unit. There’s no lobby, service counter, or common areas. Instead, check-in and assistance are handled through WeChat. Despite some of the drawbacks, the service here truly stood out. The staff member assisting us was incredibly kind, prompt, and accommodating. Whenever we had questions or faced minor issues, she responded quickly and made every effort to resolve them, which helped make our trip smoother. Her attentiveness and helpfulness were a highlight of our stay and left a positive impression. While this homestay may not have been our favorite, the excellent service and peaceful setting make it a decent choice for travelers prioritizing quiet and self-sufficiency over convenience and luxury.
我们在大理落日山海海景民宿(洱海店)的整体入住体验还算愉快,性价比也不错,特别适合那些想在大理寻找一处安静避世之地的旅客。我们主要希望找到一个可以俯瞰大海、环境清幽的地方,这家民宿基本满足了我们的需求。虽然楼前有一些施工,稍微影响了景观,但周边的风景依然很美,很令人放松。 民宿的清洁度令人满意,且设施齐全。厨房尤其设备完善,非常适合家庭或朋友团队入住,大家可以一起烹饪和用餐。不过,如果您只是来大理休闲旅游而不会花太多时间待在民宿里,厨房的实用性可能就不大了。 需要注意的是,这家民宿没有中央空调或供暖系统。房间里提供了电热毯(效果不错)以及一个小型空调,但空调只在客厅使用,冬天的时候卧室会有些寒冷。如果您在寒冷季节入住,这一点需要特别留意。民宿位于一个住宅区,从这里到大理的大多数景点开车平均需要45到60分钟,无论是前往洱海西还是海东。此外,周边没有什么餐饮店,仅有隔壁楼内的一家小餐馆。所以建议您在回到民宿前先在市区用餐。不过,如果您计划长时间停留或想要悠闲地度过假期,这里的设施(如厨房和洗衣设备)会让您的入住更加舒适。 另外,这家民宿更像是Airbnb,而不是传统的旅馆。民宿位于一栋住宅楼中,入口是一处停车场,需要乘电梯到达房间所在的单元。这里没有前台、大堂或公共区域。所有的入住手续和服务都通过微信完成。尽管有一些不足之处,民宿的服务确实值得称赞。负责接待我们的工作人员非常友善、迅速且乐于助人。无论我们有什么问题或遇到什么小麻烦,她都及时回应并尽力帮我们解决,这让我们的旅程顺利了不少。她的细心和贴心服务是此次入住的一大亮点,也给我们留下了深刻的印象。虽然这家民宿不是我们的最爱,但出色的服务和安静的环境让它成为了一个还算不错的选择,适合那些更看重宁静和自给自足,而不是便利和豪华的旅客。
GGuest UserI stayed in a very cost-effective homestay in Dali. The environment is very beautiful. There is a hydrangea garden that is very suitable for taking pictures. There is also a tea room. You can drink tea in the afternoon and look at the bottomless sea on the terrace. The room facilities are very good, equipped with a Dyson hair dryer. The toiletries should also be branded and easy to use. There are also electric cars available to go around the sea nearby, recommended!

AAnonymous UserThis B&B appear on the outside to be new, (newly done or newly renovated) overall good but few tips to be improved :
1) for the room I stayed in to be added a standing light or additional ceiling lights as it's very dark.
2) the shower water doesn't seem to flow out and caused some mini flooding in the bathroom as water reached to the facial wash basin, nearing to the door. Suggest to add additional glass door to avoid such matter as I had to wash my hair in the sink to avoid flooding.
3) cleaning was superficially done but the tea cups were dusty, the hair in the bathroom were not removed
4) service were helpful but it still can be improved

GGuest UserThe best hotel experience of this trip is mainly due to the hotel's service. The butler, Liu, is very attentive and meticulous, which is the best service I've ever experienced. Super awesome!!! The hotel scenery is beautiful, located on the edge of Shuanglang Scenic Area, and every angle is very photogenic. The room facilities are complete and considerate, and there are very complete supplies for children, clean and tidy. There is a fruit plate when we arrive. In the evening, they also send good night milk, and the children really like the kittens in the shop. Butler Liu introduced the surrounding attractions, delicious food, and matters needing attention in detail, really considering for customers, and the experience is super good. Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here again👍

Ttravelbug123I booked the second room seperately so this review is same as my first. This hotel is slightly outside of the ancient old town but of walkable distance to it. Very important is that this homestay is located within an alley with a small road in front that allows cars to drive right in to load and unload your luggages. The few young lads manning the place are very helpful with the luggages. Thank you. Rooms are of decent size, very clean and have all the frills that you will ever need including warm air ventilation in the shower which made my elderly parents very happy. No breakfast included as there are plenty of eateries around this place. There's a western bakery immediately to the right of the hotel which sells delicious bake goods. There are 2-3 local restaurant just right in front. Just a 2 minute walk out onto the main street, and there's a convenient store for small items and tidbits, I even saw a pizza place opposite the convenient store for those craving for western food. I also have to highlight that there is a delicious cantonese eatery just 1 minute walk away for those coming from the south / Nanyang craving for familiar taste or something lighter which was recommended by the young lads at the reception. The eatery boss is from Guangzhou and makes some awesome rice rolls and other cantonese breakfast dishes, they also serve cappucino and lattes. One suggestion to management is to try and print or prepare a list of recommended eats around the area for both domestic as well as international cuisines. The choice is overwhelming for international guests and while that is a good thing it was also very stressful deciding what to eat. haha ! I discovered the hidden bakery to your right very late and wished I knew earlier which would have made an even better experience ! :). Just a suggestion for your consideration.

GGuest UserOne of the most pleasant homestays I have ever stayed in Dali! It is the ultimate in ”sea view” and ”relaxation”. Open the door and you can see the same frame of Cangshan and Bohai Sea. Sitting in the yard and drinking tea to see the clouds and clouds. In the evening, you can go to the ecological corridor to ride a bicycle and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bohai Sea along the way. The design of the room is simple, the bedding is soft like a cloud, and even the shower gel is a faint tea fragrance. The boss is super enthusiastic and will recommend the niche cycling route. The freshly roasted milk fan and thin bean powder around the hotel are absolutely amazing! I stayed here for three days and was completely cured by a slow pace.

BBrendaStaff was great and were helpful. They had hot Pu'er tea, milk tea, and rose tea at the lobby. Suggest requesting first floor for older folks because there is no elevator. 7 min walk to Dali Ancient City, 3 min walk out to a main street where a ton of food street vendors set up in the evening.

TT.W.LBooked the family room at courtyard level as I had elderly and wanted an accommodation which is easy to access. I also did not want to be hoisting luggages up and down and over cobbled streets in the old town and somewhere along the city wall so it is easy to start our tour of the sights around Dali in the morning.
Room: Simple efficient clean layout with open concept. Rooms are relatively new. Sink area is located outside the bathroom which is good. The beds are hard in my opinion but elder felt the bed was comfortable. Bottled water was provided everyday (left outside our door). Room Temperature control was ok and the hot water for the shower heated up quick and could maintain at a stable level which is a plus unlike some other hotels in Yunnan.
There is flight of 3-4 steps to room which is manageable for our elder as the room is slightly raised above the courtyard. We had an early check-in as the room was ready. The staff helped us move the luggages to our room. You could also book the entire courtyard for larger groups. The owner is building additional new rooms in the annex but the construction happens during the day and it is not noisy as most guests would be out.
Location:
It is near the South Gate (there is a local market nearby check the maps or ask the owner) and our local driver could stop right outside our accommodation.
We didn’t get breakfast from the bnb as there were food shops offering noodles, congee and fried dumplings around that open early at 7am. You can also make your way to the local market near the gate. You could also go up the South Gate for free to catch the sunrise or sunset view.
Touring around Dali
If you can comms in Chinese, you could message the owner ahead to assist to arrange for a car transfer from Dali Fengyi Airport or the Dali Railway station to the BnB. It cost RMB50 for us from the Railway station to the BnB. You could also arrange with him for a day driver to take you around the sight seeing places around Dali /Erhai Lake, Mt Cang or a driver to send you to Lijiang. We felt was more efficient and relaxing with an elder. It took ~3h drive instead of travelling south to the Dali train station to ride the train to Lijiang and finding a cab from Lijiang railway to the old Lijiang ancient city.
You could also easily catch a Didi or a cab which could be cheaper. A cab/car ride to the 3 Chong Sen Temple pagodas was about 10rmb for 3-4pax which is comparable to waiting for Bus 4 which cost 3rmb per pax.
