Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"The view was amazing. Only catch is there's no lift and we need to climb the stairs. The hosts were helpful in bringing our luggage up and down the stairs."
Holiday Inn Express DALI XIAGUAN by IHG ★★★★
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was very convenient, the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout, and the rooms were kept clean and tidy. Highly recommend."
dali xianlai Inn ★★
"The room is clean and tidy, very close to the ancient city. The owner is friendly, and it's super convenient for food and drinks right outside. There are lounge areas on the second and third floors, and the rooftop offers a wide, clear view of Cangshan Mountain."
Hampton by Hilton Dali Erhai Park ★★★★
"The environment is great and the location is convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the high-speed train station. The front desk staff even upgraded my room, which I really appreciate. I'm very satisfied and would definitely stay for more nights!"
Haiyawan Hotel (Dali High-Speed Rail Station Erhai Park) ★★
"I was fortunate enough to stay here on a business trip to Dali. Before checking in, the front desk attendant upgraded my room. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with complete amenities and full smart controls. The hotel's location is also very easy to find, just a few minutes' drive from the high-speed train station, and there are many places to eat nearby that you can try if you have time. It was quiet at night, not noisy at all. I had a very pleasant stay!"
The Yearn Lake Retreat (Dali Ancient City) ★★★
"This hotel is incredibly well-designed, and I especially loved the lobby and courtyard. The plants in the courtyard are vibrant and full of life. The room was even better than the pictures, with excellent natural light. The blankets felt warm from the sun, which was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, and they paid attention to all the little details. The facilities are top-notch and super comfortable. Most importantly, it was completely quiet at night, allowing for a great sleep."
Yuntang Luxury Resort Hotel Dali ★★★★
"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."
Muyue · Envis Ter Baiyu Seaview Resort Scenic Homestay (Dali Erhai) ★★★
"This ocean-view room was absolutely divine! The decor was incredibly luxurious, from the furniture and decorations to the wall design, everything exuded sophistication. The entire room felt brand new, like it had just been put into use, and everything was smooth and hassle-free. The room was incredibly comfortable; the soft, plush bedding made me never want to get out. The best part was the unobstructed ocean view right outside the window. The gentle, soothing sound of the waves was so pleasant, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the stars and the waves at night—it was truly a therapeutic experience!"
HAWTHORN BY WYNDHAM DALI ERHAI PARL ★★★★
"Location: This place is quite close to the train station; you can see it right after exiting, though you do have to cross a pedestrian bridge first. The location is super convenient for ordering food delivery, snacks, fruits, and even clothes, all of which arrive quickly. Facilities: The room isn't huge, but it's perfectly adequate and clean. There's also a cute little teapot for enjoying tea. The parking lot is a bit small, so you might have to wait to get a spot. Service: The front desk staff are very friendly and provide great service."

"This hotel is located right by Erhai Lake, offering a fantastic environment. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, with its blue skies, white clouds, and green waters, right from your room. The hotel's facilities are very new and high-end, making for a comfortable stay. The management is excellent, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and hygiene, all while providing a warm and personal touch. It was a truly wonderful travel experience!"
Sanse Yunhe Inn (Dali Shuanglang Bohai Snow Store)
"The service was absolutely amazing, and the place was spotless. They welcomed us with complimentary mini snacks, nuts, and tea. In the afternoon, they even brought an exquisite afternoon tea right to our table. Fresh fruit, desserts, yogurt, and coffee – a complete set! Enjoying it all leisurely with a sea view was pure bliss. The first-floor observation deck is a hidden gem for photos. Wearing a floral dress and a straw hat, every shot was a stunning, therapeutic ocean scene."
Dali Yibo Haiju Inn
"Unobstructed views of Erhai Lake right from the front line! The floor-to-ceiling windows mean you can enjoy Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from your bed. It's clean, the service is gentle, and it's super convenient for exploring around the lake. Highly recommend!"
Xiamolan Bay Sea View Beautiful Stay
"Right by Erhai Lake, it was incredibly comfortable and pleasant to enjoy breakfast while gazing at the sea view in the morning. The guesthouse service was also great! 👍 There's a restaurant nearby, Yibu Zhi Yao, which is delicious and highly recommended."
Pullman Dali
"The room had a great view, and the breakfast was good too. The service was excellent; our butler, Coco, contacted me the day before to send hotel information and a travel guide for Dali. It was a wonderful experience!"
Yunqi Dali Sea View Hotel
"The building is great, and the sea view room offers a stunning view of Erhai Lake right from your seat. Unfortunately, I visited during the rainy season, so I didn't get to see Erhai Lake at its most beautiful. The front desk staff, especially one young man whose name I didn't catch, was incredibly warm and nice – I really want to commend him for his excellent service. It would be even better if the cleaning staff paid a little more attention during extended stays."
Hotel Indigo DALI ERHAI by IHG
"The hotel is right by Erhai Lake, and the 180-degree seaview room offers stunning views. The environment and hygiene are both excellent. The complimentary afternoon tea was also delicious. The service was great, very responsive, and the staff were proactive in greeting us. Luckluo even called to ask about our stay experience and sent us a fruit platter. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience."
Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel
"The room was fantastic, with a great view of Erhai Lake. They even offered airport pickup and afternoon tea. The service was so thoughtful! Tutti was lovely and kind, and provided excellent service. As a Marriott Platinum member, I felt the service here was much warmer and more personalized than the typical Marriott experience."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"The sheets hadn't been changed, and even though there was trash when I arrived, it wasn't cleaned up. The environment is really good, and they're pet-friendly, plus the rooftop view is beautiful. The service was excellent; breakfast was great, and they were good at responding to messages, though sometimes the replies were a bit slow. The bedside charging wasn't very reliable, and the room often had poor signal, making it impossible to do anything online. Also, the bathroom door was hard to open from the inside because there was no handle."
Honglongjing Hotel
"This was my second stay here, and I highly recommend it if you're visiting Dali Ancient City. The location is super convenient, the rooms are spacious and come with a balcony, and the flowers in the courtyard are beautifully maintained 😍. The service is also great! It's so close to the pedestrian street that you can easily pop back to the hotel for a rest when you get tired, then head back out to continue exploring."
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"The breakfast includes rice noodles, which were delicious!"
Dali · Liuwen·Xishe (Dali Old City Store)
"Great location, right in the heart of the old town. All the attractions are within walking distance. The front desk service was excellent, very accommodating."
Dali Santorini Guyue Xareidu Sea View Resort Hotel
"Very beautiful resort. More suitable for couples than families as there is no elevator to go up to the room. The hotel amenities are great, breakfast was good. Hotel's location is near Erhai Lake, away from city centre."
Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay
Featuring Erhai views, butler service, travel tips, welcome fruit tea, and complimentary evening desserts.
Dali · Mercure · Hotel (Cang'er Avenue)
"An unforgettable stay! The hotel is right by Cangshan Mountain, and downstairs is a popular photo spot – just be careful of traffic when taking pictures. There are many delicious Halal restaurants nearby. While not too far from the Ancient City and Erhai Lake, traffic can be very congested during peak season, so be prepared for long waits for taxis and traffic jams. The family rooms are in high demand, but the layout is quite reasonable. The vanity area is a bit compact, but the beds are very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep for the whole family. The small balcony is incredibly relaxing, with a stunning view of Cangshan Mountain enveloped in clouds and mist – it's truly a calming experience."
Dali Xiadu Seaview B&B
"The location is excellent, and the room is very clean and cozy. The owner was also very quick to respond to messages."
