Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel ★★★★
"Choosing the Songyun Banshan Hotel for my Dali trip was an absolute treasure! The pure white cliffside architecture creates an incredible atmosphere, and the unobstructed hillside views offer panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The infinity pool and cave cafe are perfect for stunning photoshopped-looking shots, and the hotel even provides a complimentary travel photoshoot. The rooms are clean and bright, with panoramic French windows and a viewing balcony. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the smart home features throughout the room are a thoughtful touch. Our butler, Allen, provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from handling our luggage to promptly responding to all our needs. The breakfast ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's a quiet and healing escape from the bustling city, perfect for couples or a girls' getaway. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dali. Highly recommend!"

Choose the Perfect Dali City Stay for Your Travel Needs
Xiamolan Bay Sea View Beautiful Stay
"This is the most beautiful accommodation in the area. It's clean, comfortable, and what impressed me most is that all the staff are friendly and attentive to every detail. I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dali."
Dali Man Yue · M Seaview Hotel
"The room was clean and well-equipped, and the staff were very friendly. I had a fantastic experience, being able to enjoy the beautiful view of Erhai Lake right from my bed. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options."
Die Haiyue Seaview Resort
"The hotel's sea view is fantastic, and the service is very attentive. It's right by the sea, with a huge, unobstructed floor-to-ceiling window offering an amazing view. The breakfast is quite unique, and the staff are warm and thoughtful. I'll definitely choose this place again next time! Rooms book up quickly, so make sure to reserve in advance! Thumbs up! 👍 This time, I also got to experience the Torch Festival, which was a wonderful cultural event! 👍"
Erhai Lake · Jingxi Courtyard Homestay (Ideal State Branch)
"I hope businesses seek truth from facts; say things as they should be, and don’t make false advertising about “sea view rooms”? ? ? I didn't sleep well the whole night. I was bitten by mosquitoes and the noise was loud. I didn't notice it during the day, but the noise was really torturous at night. The key point is that you can't find any customer service staff at night. No one solves your problems for you."
Dali Mi Na Duan Seaview Villa (Erhai Park)
"This hotel is fantastic! The scenery is beautiful, making it very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff are warm, friendly, and very helpful. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it!"
Hotel Indigo DALI ERHAI by IHG
"I was quite anxious after reading reviews across different platforms before arriving, but my actual stay was really good. My room was arranged quickly even though I arrived early, and the hygiene was satisfactory. The facilities weren't too outdated, and the pool was absolutely stunning. Both breakfast and afternoon tea were good and met expectations. The customer service manager, Daisy, also followed up promptly. Overall, I'm satisfied."
Songyun Cliff Hotel
"Songyun Cliff Hotel is my top choice when staying in Ideal Nation; it offers the best value for money in the entire area! The room facilities are complete and well-maintained, and the cleanliness is meticulous, making the room bright, tidy, and very comfortable to stay in. This is also the only hotel in Ideal Nation with a heated swimming pool, so you can enjoy swimming anytime. The resort has many slopes, but the hotel provides a shuttle service for transportation, which is very convenient. The breakfast offers a rich variety of dishes and exceptional flavors, arguably the best breakfast around. The cliffside restaurant boasts expansive views, perfect for photos. Housekeeper Ah Jun was very attentive and even arranged a custom outdoor BBQ, which created an amazing atmosphere. In summer, the mountain air is cool and pleasant, making it an excellent retreat from the heat. Overall, it was a superb holiday experience!"
DALI TAOXI SECRET MANOR
"I rarely review hotels, but I was extremely satisfied with this one. The room was spacious, clean, and well-designed. The courtyard was beautiful, with a large lawn and water lilies on the pond. The restaurant was great; although the breakfast didn't have a huge variety, everything was delicious, especially the small bowl of rice noodles served daily. A big thank you to the warm and responsive butler, who was incredibly helpful and provided excellent service!"
Mountain and Sea (Dali Old City Branch)
"The room was spotless, and the bedding was soft and comfortable against the skin. The bathroom facilities were easy to use. The B&B's location is excellent, not far from the ancient city, making it convenient for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The overall environment was quiet, and I had a great night's sleep. The owner was friendly and responsive to any issues. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay, and it's a worthwhile choice when visiting Dali."
Honglongjing Hotel
"Although the hotel is located within the ancient city, the thoughtful luggage transfer service it provides greatly facilitates travel, making it perfect for travelers planning a multi-stop itinerary. At the same time, its garden-like setting offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, providing guests with a comfortable space to relax and enjoy a leisurely trip."
Yanxiu Mountain Residence
"The navigation was accurate; turn right into a small alley just past the uphill section on the right-hand side of the street. I booked a sea-view room with a window at the Ctrip member rate. Traveling during the off-season, the price was excellent. The front desk staff member was proactive and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. Upon entering, there were three beautiful, somewhat bored but adorable cats in cages. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, who, though we only exchanged a few words, radiated elegance, warmth, and generosity. Both the interior design and the outdoor garden of the hotel offered a striking contrast, vibrant colors, a strong exotic vibe, and lush greenery. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and the bathroom featured a smart Toto toilet. It's essential to book a sea-view room; the mountains are visible as soon as you open the door, and the view is stunning from the window. It should be even more comfortable in winter, with lazy, warm sunshine greeting you early in the morning. It's not far from Dali Old Town, about 900 meters away, a little over a ten-minute walk. However, be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back, which helps with digestion and provides good exercise. The breakfast is a set meal, just the right quantity and well-balanced. The butler's exclusive service was especially heartwarming and thoughtful. Due to my medication, they specifically arranged for me to be served breakfast first. Such attention to detail truly shows their quality. If you get the chance, this place is definitely worth a visit."
Dali Harbour Hot Spring Hotel (Dali High-speed Railway Station)
"I booked a room with a view, but it faced the main road and couldn't see Erhai Lake. However, it was very noisy, so I asked the front desk to change me to a regular room. The front desk was very helpful and arranged it immediately. However, the cleaning lady kept grumbling because the blankets were wrinkled. The new room was located through a long, dark corridor. It was very quiet, and the twin beds were quite large. It had been renovated, but the cleanliness was worrying. There was a large clump of hair, like from a sewer, in the towel on the floor. I asked the hotel to replace it. The bathroom seemed unrenovated and looked quite old."
ARANYA Resort Hotel
"I stayed here for a business trip and was very satisfied with the experience. The environment is quite good, and the surroundings are quiet and not noisy. The soundproofing in the room is excellent, allowing for good rest and work. The room itself is quite spacious and comfortable, not feeling cramped at all. The Wi-Fi signal is also very good, which was convenient for handling work. The butler, Luke, was very efficient. Both check-in and check-out were hassle-free. He was always responsive to any questions, and his greetings were thoughtful and timely. He even helped with my luggage, providing excellent service – definitely a big thumbs up. The hotel's location is also great, making transportation very convenient. During my stay, it happened to be raining in Dali, so the weather wasn't ideal. However, the hotel thoughtfully provided umbrellas for guests and reminded us to bring rain gear when heading out, which was a very warm gesture. I actually ended up using the umbrella during my trip, making my outings much smoother. If I visit again in the future, I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again."
Dali Dianxi Quanxi Seascape Garden Homestay (Erhai Park Branch, Dali High speed Railway Station)
"The room was clean and tidy, the environment was quiet and comfortable, and the facilities were complete. The bedding was soft, ensuring a very restful sleep, and the hygiene was excellent. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the location was convenient. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely prioritize staying here again!"
Dali Xiadu Seaview B&B
"The room looks exactly like the pictures displayed on the platform. It's very comfortable, tidy, and clean, feeling just like home. I even extended my stay because the experience was so good. 1) The ocean is right in front of their lobby, less than 2 seconds from the accommodation. You can also watch the sunrise and sunset from the rooftop. 2) The housekeeping was excellent, they even tidied up the bed specifically. 3) I had my washed clothes drying on the balcony. Then, it rained heavily while I was out all day. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the staff had moved my clothes indoors, so they were all dry! 4) Although Didi (ride-hailing service) cannot reach the door directly, the staff will pick us up with our luggage at the drop-off point! This is great! I highly recommend contacting the hotel beforehand to make arrangements. 5) The Didi pick-up point is very close to the hotel, only a 3-minute walk, which is very convenient! Everything was excellent! I highly recommend it to everyone!"
Days Inn by Wyndham Dali Erhai Park
"The room was definitely on the small side. The location was a bit inconvenient; it's close to the train station, but quite a distance from the old town and main attractions. On a positive note, the rice noodles served at breakfast were pretty good."
