Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali

Exceptional location, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service! The location of this resort is prime—it is hard to believe that such a peaceful and beautiful oasis is just 200 meters away from the East Gate of Dali Ancient Town. There are plenty of food options nearby, especially around the gate area. We experienced a minor room booking mix-up upon arrival. We originally booked the SUJING room, but the hotel assigned us to the YINJI room (B102), which was larger and even more beautiful. They kindly offered us to stay in B102 for both nights, but we still wanted to try our original room on the 2nd floor as well. That said, the YINJI room (B102) was absolutely fantastic—extremely quiet, comfortable, and highly recommended! Breakfast was rich in carbs, served in traditional Yunnan style. The young staff members were wonderfully attentive and helpful, using translation apps very effectively to communicate with us. Overall, a fantastic stay that I would happily recommend!

Yuntang Hotel is a special, tucked-away little oasis in the heart of Dali Ancient City! I was very impressed by the cleanliness and design of the room — it's very calming with a lot of wood elements and seemingly Japanese-inspired design. The breakfast was on the simple side for Chinese hotel breakfasts (not as many choices), but I thought it was delicious and nutritious. The staff were quietly friendly and helpful. I would definitely come stay here again.

Location is quite good as it is located just outside of the ancient city with easy assess to Didi ride and walking distance to the ancient city north and south gate. The inn is quite clean but the toilet flooring is not even and trap pools of water making showering very difficult.
