"The location is excellent, right by the Erhai Lake, and it's very quiet at night. During this trip, there was a small accident - my son twisted his ankle. I was having a hard time carrying him up and down the stairs by myself. The young men at the inn were all very helpful. The hotel breakfast was very nutritious, and they also provided free coffee and afternoon tea. We stayed for six days. Because of my son's foot pain, we didn't go out to play much, but the scenery of the hotel was very nice, and it was still a pleasant vacation. 谢谢民宿的小哥哥小姐姐,虽然孩子把脚崴了。可是因为酒店很温馨,小哥哥小姐姐都很善良,度过了愉快的假期。"

"This is my favorite inn I've stayed at in Dali. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought and effort into running it. From the moment you walk in, to the lobby, stairs, hallways, and balconies, every design element is incredibly thoughtful. There are sofas in every corner, perfect for lounging around. I visited in May during hydrangea season, and seeing all the flowers and plants was so therapeutic. I didn't even need to leave; I could have stayed inside all day without getting bored. And if you love animals, they have cats too!"

"The room was quite spacious and clean. The hotel was also located near some great photo spots. There were many beautiful cafes nearby. I thought the hotel had a swimming pool, but it turns out the pool is only available for certain room types.However, it's too cold for swimming 😄. A shuttle car was available to pick you to and from the hotel and the gate . Breakfast at the hotel had two options: Chinese rice noodles and Western Spaghetti & Omelette, and they were tasty. The housekeeper Xiao Luo and Fei Fei are very helpful Xixi in explaining via WeChat as we don't understand Chinese."

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"The hotel just right by the main road. Easy to be founded. It was really disappointed to climb up to level 3 with our 30kg bags. The room was spacious for us with a nice view. The staff brought the drinks to our room and help to order some food. We bought different room for the next day. Unfortunately we were told that the room was in another building. So we cancelled the room since it was not stated in the details when we did the booking. Other than that we got nothing to complain about."

Spirited Silky Inn(ncient Dali City) ★★★
"Spirited Silky Inn truly made our stay in Dali unforgettable. The hotel's design is beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere. A special thank you to Xiao Hui and Xiao Deng, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. The hotel kindly provided vouchers for Hanfu costume experiences. While the complimentary package did not include makeup and photography, these services were available upon request, so I would recommend asking the staff if you're interested. We also want to thank Huan Huan and her team for taking such great care of our family during the photoshoot. The experience was enjoyable, professional, and completely free of any hard selling. As we were leaving for Kunming, Xiao Deng even helped us with our heavy luggage and surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag filled with local treats from the hotel. Such gestures made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Thank you to the entire team at Spirited Silky Inn for the wonderful hospitality, excellent service, and great value. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali."

Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"The B&B's location is fantastic; you can drive right up to the entrance, and getting around is super convenient. It's just a short walk west to the old town's core, but the soundproofing is excellent, so it truly offers a peaceful retreat despite being in a lively area. The owner has great taste and an eye for aesthetics. The courtyard is spotless, and they offer a breakfast set. Guests are also very considerate. For this location and price, it's definitely a good deal. Highly recommended! However, in summer, you do need to be mindful of humidity and mosquitoes. But the owner provided mosquito repellent and an electric mosquito swatter, and surprisingly, we had no issues at all at night. We even turned mosquito hunting into a fun game, which my kid absolutely loved!"

"Very nice and charming hotel in the ancient town. The hotel is in a pedestrian street but complementary pick up and drop off service from the nearest road is available. The staff have been very attentive and proactive to make us feel comfortable. The room was very spacious and with good views to a courtyard. This hotel is a very good choice if you want to stay inside the old town and have all the comfort of a 5 star hotel."

"The hotel's design is very thoughtful, and the room has a great view with a small balcony. I was pleasantly surprised since it was a last-minute hotel change. It's really suitable for unwinding. The owner is also very nice; not only did he personally make me a small pot of rice noodle breakfast, but he also drove me to the high-speed rail station. I'll definitely come again if I have the chance."
