GGuest UserAs returning customers, we were thrilled to find that Yunqi Sea View Hotel is just as wonderful as we remembered from a year ago. Due to a last-minute booking change by us, we experienced two different room types this time: the Ground Level Courtyard Room and the Secret Realm Sea View Double Bed Suite. Both were exceptional.
Here is why this hotel remains our absolute go-to in Dali:
Perfect Location: Right outside, you’ll find convenience stores and a bicycle rental shop (making renting and returning bikes incredibly seamless). Plus, the lake views from the sea-view rooms are simply breathtaking.
Superb Dining & Perks: The in-house restaurant serves fantastic Yunnan cuisine that strikes a perfect balance between price and quality. We also loved the complimentary food perks: a sumptuous breakfast set, delicious cheesecake for afternoon tea, and healthy, unsweetened evening desserts.
Unparalleled Service: The staff are wonderfully friendly, courteous, and proactive. When I inquired about a work desk, they promptly brought a small table and chair to my room. They also checked in daily for housekeeping and seamlessly arranged our transport to the train station.
Excellent Facilities: The hotel features a great gym, a 1.8m-deep pool, a kids' playroom, a function room, and a beautiful garden. Our room on the second night was located at the higher level facing Er Hai. The room was fairly spacious and only lack a worktable. The view from our bedroom was breathtaking. Waking up in the morning to this amazing view of the lake is something which we had looked forward to all this while before our trip. Another reason why I chose this room was the availability of a superb projector screen and setup allowing us to enjoy our favorite shows on a big screen in the bedroom.
We will definitely return to Yunqi for all our future trips to Dali!

BBingbingle、The room was very spacious and well-equipped.
The decor and design were fantastic. The renovation of the historic building is quite unique, and the courtyard is breathtaking.
The housekeeping service was excellent, and any requests were promptly addressed.
The breakfast was also delicious, featuring some unique dishes.
I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yunnan.

Iiris_yy123I used to stay at Anlan in Sanya frequently, and that's when I fell in love with the brand. This time, I decisively booked again, and overall, I'm extremely satisfied!
Anlan pays great attention to detail, including airport pick-up and drop-off. The butler will contact you via WeChat in advance. Both the hotel's breakfast and afternoon tea were excellent, showing a lot of care! The hotel has been renovated with wood, so soundproofing isn't the best, but they thoughtfully provide earplugs. The all-female service team is outstanding; they always greet you warmly when you go out, which is very comforting!
They provide children's toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers. The 'comfort kit' in the room is super practical and I'm still using the items I took home. I don't know what brand the bedding in the room is, but it's incredibly comfortable!! Even my child was super happy with it!!
The only thing that needs improvement is the hotel room's TV. It's too old, has poor clarity, and is incredibly slow to respond. Screen mirroring often freezes, and it takes a good 10 minutes just to exit. I strongly recommend replacing it with a TV that matches the Anlan brand's quality!!!

AAramiRexWe stayed here from 12–15 May during our honeymoon and decided to do our Yunnan trip entirely on our own. Dali was our first destination after landing in Kunming the night before, and it turned out to be the perfect start to our journey.
Since our train arrived early at around 9:00 AM, I contacted the host a few days in advance to ask if an early check-in would be possible. Not only were they happy to accommodate our request, but they also kindly offered to pick us up from the station. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our host, Mei, who gave us a tour of the property after check-in.
The hotel exceeded our expectations. The architecture is absolutely stunning, from the outside, it feels like staying in a beautiful traditional palace within the old town, while the interior is thoughtfully modernized with every comfort you could need. Our room was incredibly spacious, and we especially loved the heated bathroom floors and the bidet, which was a pleasant surprise. There is also a rooftop area where guests can enjoy a beautiful sunrise view.
Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. Guests are given several options, and parts of the menu change daily, which kept things interesting. What we looked forward to most every morning was the amazing yogurt served with homemade rose jam, it was honestly the best we've ever had. We mentioned how much we loved it, and at the end of our stay, Mei surprised us with a jar to take home. Such a thoughtful gesture!
Every evening, the hotel served a warm dessert, introducing us to flavors that were completely new yet delicious. We were also treated to a complimentary afternoon tea. To make our honeymoon even more special, Mei and her team surprised us with a personalized cake, which was incredibly touching.
The location is very convenient, with several Muslim-friendly eateries within a 10-minute walk, as well as convenience stores nearby.
What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality. Out of all the accommodations we stayed at during our Yunnan trip, this was by far the best. Mei went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, constantly sharing recommendations, travel tips, and local insights to help us make the most of our time in Dali. We genuinely felt cared for throughout our stay.
I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for honeymooners and newlyweds looking for a memorable and heartfelt experience. InsyaAllah, we will definitely return on our future trips to Dali.

GGuest UserThe views are absolutely stunning, perfect for photos, especially the unbeatable sunset. The hotel service is excellent; the butler was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. My dress got dirty during a photoshoot, and they even offered free washing and drying. Breakfast and afternoon tea were both delicious and plentiful. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I didn't want to leave; if I didn't have other plans, I would have stayed another day.

GGuest UserThis hotel is located right next to the ancient city, very close to the North Gate. There's parking available right outside, and a gas station and charging points nearby. The interior is absolutely beautiful, with a charming 'small bridges and flowing water' vibe, plus a small lawn and an organic farm. It truly feels like a peaceful oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, are spacious and very roomy. The Thai SPA within the hotel is also excellent. It's perfect for a relaxing, 'lie-flat' style vacation.

GGuest UserTraveling with my elderly parents, convenience was key, and I'm so glad we chose this hotel instead of staying in Haixi. Xiaguan District is where the locals live in Dali, and it's incredibly convenient for food, drinks, and entertainment. Right downstairs from the hotel, there are all sorts of local specialty restaurants. The hotel's location is excellent, and the views are simply stunning; you open the door and Erhai Lake is right there. The breakfast selection is rich, with rice noodles and regular noodles available all day. Since my elderly parents prefer simple dinners, we often asked the hotel to stir-fry two vegetable dishes and prepare some rice vermicelli for us, and they always accommodated our requests without hesitation. The service is truly exceptional – the front desk young lady was gentle and warm-hearted, and the restaurant young lady was also incredibly kind and enthusiastic. Overall, among all the hotel staff I've encountered, everyone, from the airport pick-up to the front desk and even the maintenance staff, was patient and welcoming. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I have the chance; it's particularly well-suited for families and friends traveling together.

AAnonymous User1. **Check-in Area:** The check-in counter, or front desk, was quite shabby. The computer keyboard was practically caked in grime, and don't even get me started on the sofa next to it – it looked very unhygienic.
2. **Dining:** The breakfast area was a bit cramped, with just four small tables by the street. If you're a party of more than two, you'd have to sit separately, or you might even have to stand and wait for a table. The coffee, however, was good. I only had breakfast once: a cold quinoa salad (see Photo 6) served with bread that had an overpowering artificial creamer flavor. I had been looking forward to the rice noodles for the next day, but serving didn't start until 8:30 AM, which was far too late for my rumbling stomach. Early risers and those who prefer hot meals should seriously consider other options or make alternative arrangements.
3. **Room (2nd floor) - Noise Issues:** Don't even think about getting any sleep at night. After 11 PM, there was still noise along the street, along with the clanging of the garbage truck. (Seriously, I'd strongly advise against staying in the Old Town.) The next day, it started pouring before dawn, and the sound of the heavy rain kept me awake as well.
4. **Room - Facility Issues:** The room I stayed in was supposedly the quietest in the entire hotel. It featured a large bathtub and a bathroom where the toilet and shower area lacked wet/dry separation. Unable to deal with the wet floor, I decided to shower in the bathtub. That's when I discovered Problem #1: the glass partition was completely transparent, with no curtain or frosted glass. The staff member claimed this was 'design.' Then came Fatal Problem #2: the bathtub had no running water, haha! 😄
5. **Room - Odor Issues:** Upon entering, there was a strong musty smell. The staff claimed it was due to 'raw wood,' but it's been 8 years and it still smells like that? Quite amusing.
6. **Staff (Pre-Check-in):** Before I even checked in, they asked me to cancel my booking on the platform and pay them privately for a discounted rate. I have this in writing. This is definitely a huge red flag, and I'm surprised they even dared to suggest it.
7. **Staff (General):** The individuals themselves were nice enough, but I was surprised to find that all the 'Jixiashan' staff were quite young, without uniforms, and seemingly without direct supervision, which gave a very disorganized and casual impression.
8. **Housekeeping:** I was quite satisfied with the housekeeping. Seeing the clean duvet and towels gave me peace of mind (P.S. the pillows were also comfortable). The hotel's facilities are very old; no matter how clean the bathroom tiles were, they still looked run-down, compounded by the dim lighting. Therefore, I feel the housekeeping staff here really have a tough job.
9. **Building Structure:** One morning, during a heavy downpour, when I opened my 2nd-floor room door, the entrance was essentially flooded up to my heels. It was quite a feat that the water didn't spread into the room. At night, there were no lights, so I had to grope my way back to the room along the dark corridor. It would be quite difficult for someone who doesn't remember their way (see Photos 1-2).
10. **Hotel Amenities:** One night, I heard the guest next door return, unable to open their door with the key, and had to call a staff member for help. They chatted for a bit outside the door before the staff member finally told the guest a 'trick': 'The key needs to be inserted a certain way, and the lock has a particular mechanism...' That's quite a struggle – needing a special technique just to get back to your room!
11. **Minor Details:** The room key had a very large, bulky leather tag attached to it. Absolutely no consideration for travelers on long journeys with limited luggage space. Who would want to carry such a bulky thing around?
I originally had high hopes for the 'Jixiashan' brand. When I was in Shangri-La, I heard their Meili store had a collaboration with Kolon, which made me think they had good taste. This Dali Ancient City location is their first store, but it turned out to be such a low standard. Given the daily rate, I guess I understand why. This particular store cannot be found on 'Jixiashan's' mini-program; it's categorized under 'Wang Shenme Chuan Qu Le'.

CCY685We stayed in the underwater room, and the absolute highlight was lying in bed, facing a giant marine tank with 11,000 tons of water and over 20,000 marine creatures swimming right before our eyes. You don't even need to leave the room or buy aquarium tickets; you just open your eyes to sharks, sea turtles, and manta rays gracefully gliding by, and colorful tropical fish darting in schools. You can enjoy an immersive fish-watching experience 24 hours a day. During the day, sunlight shimmers through the water, and at night, blue lights illuminate the tank, creating an incredibly dreamy atmosphere.
The room itself was spacious and comfortable. Starting at 40 square meters, the layout was well-designed, featuring smart lighting and a fresh air system. The mini-bar drinks and snacks were complimentary, and they even thoughtfully provided children's slippers and small bathrobes, making it super convenient for families with kids.
And the service was absolutely impeccable. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, offering welcome fruits upon check-in. The hotel has direct access to the aquarium, just a short walk away, which made visiting the exhibits incredibly convenient – no need to rush at all.
Whether it's a romantic getaway or a family vacation, this place offers a truly unique experience with incredible value for money.

GGuest UserExcellent, the scenery is great, and the afternoon tea was pretty good too. The hotel's hygiene is very clean, and the service is outstanding. Someone was already there to greet us before we even got out of the car, and we didn't have to lift a finger with our luggage the whole time. Located in Wenguan Village, the hotel's car can take you anywhere you want to go and pick you up. Even takeaways can be delivered right to your room. When we were ready to leave, they thoughtfully drove us to the station. You can even enjoy views of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain right from your bed.
