Dali Inns

We recently stayed at a hotel right outside the 南门of the Ancient City, and its location couldn't have been more convenient. Given how jammed Dali can get, walking was the best option, and this hotel’s location made it incredibly easy to explore the area on foot. The staff here is simply the best I’ve ever encountered. I had many parcels delivered to the hotel before my arrival, and they not only managed all of them seamlessly but also offered to send out additional parcels on my behalf. Despite the hotel being fully booked, they attended to our requests promptly and always with a smile. Their dedication to going above and beyond was truly impressive. The staff also provided excellent recommendations for food and activities nearby, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic, and the views of 苍山 were amazing. We had a wonderful stay, and we will definitely be back!

The hotel is very beautiful. We chose a room with a view of the beautiful Erthai Lake. The room is very large and has all the amenities. In addition, the reception team provided excellent service, informing us about the pick-up from the train station. When we arrived, there was a shuttle to carry our luggage. All the services were impressive. If anyone is looking for a room with a beautiful view, I recommend this place. We liked it very much. I give 5 Stars 👍

Very good location 5 minutes walk to main area. Very good service by housekeeper xiao hao. Hotel is comfortable and clean. Breakfast, tea time and night dessert is great. Very easy accessible. We enjoyed our time here. They have transport service to pick you up at the main road and also sending you to nearby places. Highly recommended.

Excellent service from the staff. The hotel provides unlimited beverages and ice creams and the breakfast buffet was really good. Super helpful staff who went over and above to make our stay comfortable.

I have stayed at Yunzui Haitang for four consecutive times. The inn is located in the best location of the Erhai Lake West Ecological Corridor. Sitting in the garden carefully built by the owner, admiring the original ecological beauty like oil painting and welcoming the sunrise, it is quite healing. The inn has just opened, clean and sanitary, and the environment is first-class. The proprietress has a profound cultural heritage and the temperament of a poet. She treats guests with care and sincerity. The inn gives people a home-like feeling.

During the trip to Yunnan, I stayed in Dali for the longest time, and stayed in three different popular hotels/homestays. On the basis of the same price level, Yunqi is the one with the best experience. In terms of facilities, Yunqi's facilities are ”real” and can be used and are barrier-free. In winter, the temperature difference in Dali is relatively large. When I return to the hotel at night, the floor heating and air conditioning can be controlled by the room autonomously and the heating is good (this can also be brought out because a popular homestay in Haixi with the same fee claims to have floor heating, but it needs to be controlled by the main station. After asking for a long time, it was not turned on for us in the end). The toilet is automatically thermostatic, and the toiletries are relatively good. Marshall speakers, Dyson hair dryers, refrigerator snacks can be eaten at will, and facial masks are also sent thoughtfully. In terms of service, the staff are relatively enthusiastic and respond quickly. The hotel is in the ancient town, and they also contacted us in advance for appropriate pick-up and drop-off. It is worth mentioning that Yunqi also has various conversion plugs. I accidentally left the conversion plug in the previous hotel, so I was very grateful when the Yunqi housekeeper sent the life-saving plug. And the next hotel didn't have this kind of plug, so we also brought Yunqi's plug to the next hotel, and Yunqi's colleagues took it back after use. In terms of hygiene, the room is generally clean and hygienic, but you can always smell a strange smell when you get close to the bathtub. Yunqi's public area is also very good, spacious and comfortable, sitting on a lounge chair by the sea and watching the seagulls is very healing. The quality of the afternoon tea is very good, and we bought a bag of tea to take away before leaving. We didn't live in a sea view room (originally planned to live in a sea view room in another hotel), but we passed by and visited a sea view room in Yunqi, which was still very good. I will experience it next time I have the opportunity. Speaking of the room type we stayed in, if you plan to play outside all day, the room is really enough. But because I had some temporary work that day that involved video, the room was relatively not well lit, and there was no large table suitable for office work. Of course, the staff actively helped to find a solution. In addition, it may be due to the direction of the room. Recently, Yunqi's neighbors are working on construction. I slept late at night, and I was woken up by the sound of sawing things early in the morning. And there was also a thumping sound upstairs at three or four in the morning, but it disappeared quickly. The popular homestays in Haidong should all have these problems. If you are staying in a hotel, it is better to book a sea view room to avoid these problems. If you need to work, it is recommended to book a star-rated hotel.

Simply amazing! I’ve never had any hotel call me in seconds of having booked a room to verify my details of arrival so as to arrange VIP pick up. Courtesy fruit, courtesy night dessert, 24h courtesy noodles, courtesy pick up and drop off, courtesy everything! I’ve been left speechless with the outstanding service and attention to detail. If you’re staying in Dali and wish to be near the city and old town while having the most spectacular views and living spaces of Erhai Lake, then don’t think twice and book this place! Huge thanks to the staff for their professionalism and friendliness.

Definitely book the family loft if you consider staying here! The room has an amazing view of cangshan mountain and comfortably fit 3 people given the 2 large beds on the top and bottom. The place was very clean and in an amazing location tucked away from the busy hustle of the old town but yet still very centrally located.

Highly Recommend! Location: near to ancient town, around 500m walking distance, just right in front the 南门市场. Driver or taxi can pick up easily. Service: the host is very friendly and provide us some travel info. She also help us to book car to Lijiang, make sure we get into the car. There is one night, we chat with her about 2hr, she made Chinese tea for us. Cleanliness: super clean, just newly opened last year. The host will asked us if need to clean everyday or where to clean and improve. Size of the room is also quite big. Although don’t have lift, which is quite common at that area. But the host helped us to bring up the luggage to our room.

This is one of the best hotel I have stayed so far. The owner very helpful and caring. Fruits and mineral water are available at counter and free to take. One the day we leave, owner gave us a box of rose biscuit. Good breakfast daily except it is the same menu everyday. Just outside the hotel, there is bike rental and it is very convenient to go everywhere with it. (RMB50/ day for the small electric scooter) Will highly recommend this.
