Pullman Dali

Pullman Dali

📍 No. 61-1 Erhe South Road, Xiaguan Town, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.7 (11,920 reviews)

"The services from the front desk was superb and responsive. They genuinely serve with a warm smile and we felt welcome always. They even extended a late check-out for us to one o’clock even though the hotel was highly booked and liaised with the Executive Lounge for us to rest and relax until 2.30pm. A big shout out to Miss Sissi from the Executive Lounge who made sure we were comfortable and provided light refreshment for our enjoyment. We felt good and honoured. The room condition is new and in immaculate condition. The Erhai lake facing view from the full ceiling to floor window is trully scenic giving a sense of peace and calm especially during sunset and early morning dawn. This itself already worth all the money! Amenities provided are top notch with auto controlled curtain, master switch for lightings, smart toilet and most importantly, a very comfortable bed and pillows. Glad we have chosen Pullman Dali over other highly rated guesthouses because of its high service quality standard and amenities which are unlikely from guesthouses. Strongly recommend Pullman Dali and will stay here again!"

Enjoyed the complementary fruits and the fact that they had a room for us when we came in early morning from our wee morning flight. A great stay."

Mengjing Yayuan Hotel (Dali Ancient City)

Mengjing Yayuan Hotel (Dali Ancient City)

📍 No. 47 Yita Road, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.7 (1,035 reviews)

"The hotel offers a lot of services which add value to the stay experience. There were self-serve fresh coffee and a variety of herbs/ flower tea selection at the lobby, free laundry services, afternoon high tea and night dessert. We really appreciate passing our clothes which required laundry to the staff and return to collect freshly laundry clothes. The staff is reachable easily via WeChat. They also offer complimentary pick up from the train station. If I really have to pick on something - there is no view in the room I stayed in even though it was bright and spacious. Overall highly recommend a stay."

Dali Muxi Dali · Huoshan Hotel

Dali Muxi Dali · Huoshan Hotel

📍 No. 17, Luozhedi, Huoshan Village, Shuanglang Town, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.9 (202 reviews)

"I specifically chose this hotel for my trip to Dali, curious to see the level of Chinese guesthouses. If it weren't for the altitude sickness, I'd seriously consider staying there for a while after this experience. The hotel owner has impeccable taste, and everything was executed to perfection. If I had any suggestions, I'd say the check-in lobby could use some improvement as it felt a bit out of sync with the rest of the hotel's vibe. Also, while the breakfast was outstanding, the lunch and dinner were slightly underwhelming, almost tasting like pre-made meals. Given the current business environment, what the hotel owner has achieved is remarkable, and I hope high-end Chinese customers will strongly support it. I truly believe that if they can maintain this standard, it will undoubtedly become a top-tier resort in China."

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel

Dali Old City Yueshan Haiban Villa Luxury Hotel

📍 No. 21 Hongsheng Road, Dali Town, Dali City
★★★★★ 9.7 (2,669 reviews)

"When I come to Dali for a vacation, I always struggle with where to stay. After trying many places, I decisively chose the Yuanshanhai Banshan Villa Luxury Hotel. It really feels like my ideal hidden getaway. The hotel is built into the mountain, and the environment is exceptionally quiet. Both the courtyard and the rooms have great views, and you can see Cangshan Mountain just by looking up. The rooms are designed in a villa style, offering spacious and comfortable living without feeling cramped. It's also not far from the ancient city, making travel very convenient. You can explore the ancient city during the day and return to a peaceful rest at night. Overall, it's comfortable and relaxing, perfect for those who want to slow down and enjoy their vacation."

See You Again Dali - Artisan - Erhai Love Affair B&B (Caicun Seaview)

"The village paths to the B&B is not wide enough for two-way traffic, so travel by DiDi or any motor car can be a bit challenge if there are vehicles coming in opposite direction. However, you can access the B&B via the main road, and get off at nearby primary school (drop-off), it is about 5-7 minutes from drop-off point to the B&B. There is no breakfast available but there are choices nearby. You can see sunrise from the bedroom, and every room has a very big balcony / sitting place with sofa, that's the best selling point."

"I had delivered some Taobao parcels before arriving to the hotel and found out that it was sent to the parcel receiving points instead of to the hotel directly. Our butler 暖暖 was very helpful when I called and offered to pick up the parcels on behalf so that I can collect it directly from the front desk when checking in. The hotel also offer many perks like ethnic costume photography which was so interesting. We managed to get great family photos :)"
