The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City)

The hotel is right inside Dali Old Town, which makes getting around super convenient. There are tons of great restaurants nearby. The room was clean, comfortable, and cozy, and the environment was really pleasant. The service was thoughtful and attentive. Very satisfied!

This time I traveled with my daughter and booked the hotel last minute when we were already close to the ancient city. To my surprise, it was fantastic! Even during the rainy season, the room wasn't damp at all. The room facilities were brand new and smart, which my daughter absolutely loved. It was also very clean and tidy, and for us, traveling with a child, cleanliness is our top priority. It offers great value for money, and the owner is lovely. The service is impeccable; if you need anything, just ask the owner – they are very warm and friendly. The hotel is only a minute's walk from Dali Ancient City Pedestrian Street, yet it's away from the hustle and bustle inside the ancient city, providing a peaceful and quiet environment where we slept very comfortably.

Our flight was delayed, so we didn't arrive at the hotel until past 3 AM, but the front desk staff was still waiting for us. They even helped us carry our luggage to our rooms, which made us feel a bit embarrassed since we had booked three rooms, all on the third floor. One of them, the 'No. 2 Shiguang' room, offered a really wonderful view of the sunrise right from the bed in the morning. The room facilities were quite new, the environment was very quiet, and we slept soundly until we naturally woke up. The cleaning was also very thorough. The hotel's courtyard is lovely; it's nice to just sit there, grab some snacks, and chat. Plus, the drinks in the lobby fridge are free to enjoy.

This hotel boasts smart home features throughout, making everything super convenient and hassle-free. The environment is really quiet, which is surprising considering its prime location right inside the ancient city – absolutely no noise. I was pleasantly surprised that the room was cleaned daily; at other hotels, they usually don't clean unless you specifically request it or hang a 'make up room' sign. I actually thought I'd forgotten to message the front desk to clean it that day, but when I returned, everything was spotless, and even my clothes on the bed were neatly folded. The service was incredibly friendly and responsive. Definitely a five-star experience!

I came with a friend's family, and we booked two rooms together. My friend accidentally chose the wrong date, so when they arrived, the hotel told them there were no rooms available for that night. The front desk lady was incredibly nice; she helped my friend store their luggage at the hotel and even assisted them in finding another place to stay. If it weren't for her help, we, being first-time visitors to Dali and unfamiliar with the area, wouldn't have known what to do. Seeing how helpful she was, my friend's family decided to move back to this hotel the very next day. The hotel environment is very quiet, and its location right next to the pedestrian street makes shopping and getting around very convenient. The room facilities are new, and it's exceptionally clean. I'll definitely come back next time.

Hidden away in the alleys of the ancient city, this hotel offers direct access to Dali's most bustling street. The owner is incredibly warm and attentive, the rooms are spotless, and it's super convenient for exploring the old town. Highly recommend! The bed was really comfortable, and the owner even gave great local food recommendations – a perfect stay. The hotel features smart home technology throughout, which was fantastic, and the vibrant plants and trees in the courtyard make for beautiful, atmospheric photos.

This guesthouse offers a fantastic experience! The decor is really unique and charming, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. They even helped with our luggage and provided a delightful afternoon tea and coffee. The breakfast spread was also very generous. I highly, highly recommend this place! Plus, the location is perfect, surrounded by lively old town shops.

The room is fully equipped with smart home features throughout, and the hair dryer is a Dyson, which leaves my hair feeling very soft. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the ancient city, and the room layout is very cozy. The environment is extremely comfortable.
