Both the room and bathroom were quite spacious, and the facilities were well-maintained. I particularly liked that the TV had screen mirroring capabilities. There are also plenty of dining options near the hotel. Sissi, the butler, provided good service. It was a very pleasant stay overall."

HEO Hezhu · Luxury Residence (Dali Ancient Town South Gate Branch) Hotels in Dali City

HEO Hezhu · Luxury Residence (Dali Ancient Town South Gate Branch)

"Tired of the monotonous daily grind, I decided to take a break and clear my head. Dali during the off-season is quite pleasant; it’s lovely to just walk around and explore. Alternatively, picking a nice, comfortable hotel to unwind and breathe is also a great option... (After much deliberation, I finally booked this one.) As soon as you open the door, you can see the Cangshan Mountains, flowing clouds, and the ancient town. Walk a short distance downstairs and you’re at Dali Ancient Town. It’s a perfect location, quiet yet convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. The room features tasteful soft furnishings and furniture. The common areas are also very well-designed, blending contemporary art and modern minimalism with Bai ethnic elements. Every corner offers a beautiful view, creating a wonderful ambiance... I particularly love the swimming pool on the second floor and the rooftop terrace. They're perfect for relaxing or enjoying afternoon tea. It’s good to allow yourself to 'waste' time on beautiful things."

"I was so lucky to stay at He Gu Li – it's truly a hidden gem in Dali! It's super convenient, less than a 3-minute walk to the South Gate of the Old City. It's a peaceful haven in the middle of all the buzz, and you could easily spend all day relaxing in the sunken courtyard. The vibe is absolutely perfect and so pleasant 😌. Every corner is picture-perfect, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the daily afternoon tea. The room is spacious, clean, and bright, and there's even a dedicated parking spot right outside. Highly recommend!"

Dali January Harboring Heart Seaview Guesthouse (Erhai Lake Park Branch)

"Traveling all the way to Dali, I was fortunate to stumble upon Yiyue Boxing and received so much warmth here. The environment here is like a hidden paradise. The courtyard is tranquil and serene, and opening the window reveals the magnificent scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. A gentle breeze caresses your face, and everything feels tender. The hygiene is impeccable; every corner is spotless and fresh, making the stay exceptionally comfortable. The in-room facilities are complete and high-quality. I particularly loved the starry sky ceiling design. During the day, it's a cozy and relaxing home, and at night, the ceiling sparkles with stars, as if you're living among a sea of stars – the ambiance truly touched my heart. The owner and staff provide sincere and thoughtful service, with meticulous care that makes you feel right at home. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, I slowly relaxed my mind and body in this little haven. Although our short stay has come to an end, I'm filled with reluctance to leave. When I return to Dali in the future, I will definitely come back here to relive this wonderful experience."

Tianhai Yunzan Qingxing Inn

"The hotel's location and environment are great overall, and the room we booked was very spacious, perfect for our family of four. The view from the room was absolutely fantastic. The bedding was also good. A suggestion for improvement: The front desk staff weren't particularly warm, but they did manage to resolve all our issues, including changing rooms. There's room for improvement there. The A Lian restaurant downstairs was surprisingly good. Delicious and not expensive. Much better than the so-called recommended restaurants outside."

Dali Ancient City. Shanyuyishe Boutique B&B ★★★
"The staff was so nice and helpful. She also suggested that we take a look at the local and vegetable markets at North Gate, which was the most impressive part for me. I also have to mention that her rice noodles were the most delicious noodles I had during my trip. There was also a hidden staff member too— a curious orange cat that would show you how to catch fish. The amenities were great, with high-quality products such as a Dyson hair dryer and Bioderma cleanser. There was one laundromat, but it was enough."

Dali Sheyu Secret Garden Inn (South Gate of Dali Ancient City) ★★★★
"This lovely B&B, recommended by friends and family, is conveniently located right next to Dali Ancient City. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like I'd entered a vibrant, healing succulent paradise! The courtyard, hallways, and even the room windowsills were adorned with an array of uniquely shaped, colorful succulent pots. There were plump 'Peach Eggs,' layered 'Echeverias,' and 'Mountain Roses' that looked just like tiny roses, all shimmering under the sunlight. Even more delightful was discovering it's a cat haven! Several cats, each with their own distinct personality, roamed freely – some lazily sunbathing, others playfully darting about, and a few elegantly strolling. They weren't shy at all and would even come rub against your leg, practically begging for pets, instantly melting away any stress. The B&B owner is a warm and chatty young man. He not only helped with my luggage and gave recommendations for nearby attractions, but also thoughtfully prepared local snacks. His attentive and detailed service made me feel incredibly welcome. The room itself was cozy and comfortable, featuring wooden furniture paired with soft bedding. Outside the window, there was a lush green mountain view, and at night, you could hear the chirping of insects and birds. The serene environment made me want to simply unwind there and savor a slow-paced life away from the hustle and bustle."
