Hotels with WiFi in Dali

"Staying at Honglin Pavilion Inn in Dali was an absolute gem! The facilities and amenities were top-notch, far exceeding my expectations, and truly enhanced my trip. The inn's location is incredibly convenient. Step right out into the ancient city's streets, and a stroll to Erhai Lake is just a few minutes away. Walking into the courtyard was a breathtaking experience; it's designed in a classical Chinese garden style, with rockeries and flowing water complemented by vintage lanterns. The common areas feature incredibly comfortable rattan chairs and tea sets, and they even provide complimentary tea and utensils. In my free time, I'd brew a pot of tea and enjoy the scenery – it was so relaxing I didn't want to leave. All in all, the stay brought immense happiness. Next time I'm in Dali, I'll definitely choose this place again!"

"It was a wonderful stay! The apartment was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a beautiful view. All amenities were available, and the building felt extremely safe with secure access and security. The host was very friendly and responsive at all times. The price is excellent compared to others, and the location is great ..close to cafés and a nearby park. Highly recommended! 🌟"

"This trip to Dali, I gave myself a reason to 'live amidst the scenery.' So I chose the Zhongli Qianxun Courtyard Hotel (Dali Ancient City South Gate Branch) – and the result was even better than expected: it's not one of those B&Bs that 'looks good in photos but is just ordinary to stay in,' but rather a place where every detail, from day to night, from the courtyard to the rooms, makes you want to slow down. 🏯 Courtyard: The gentle charm of the ancient city at a glance The hotel features a typical Chinese quadrangle courtyard structure, with grey tiles, wooden corridors, and carved windows. Walking along the verandas, you can't help but slow your pace. During the day, the light falls on the wood, casting a warm glow; looking down from above, the courtyard is enclosed in a quiet embrace, almost like switching from 'travel rush mode' to 'living mode.' Even more surprising – you can see the outline of the mountains in the distance. As dusk falls, the sky gradually turns blue-grey, and the mountain ridges appear like silhouettes. In that moment, you suddenly understand: the beauty of Dali isn't about hustle and bustle, it's about tranquility. 🐟 Waterside Fish Pond: Koi + Lotus Leaves + Reflections, truly photo-worthy The pond in the center of the courtyard is a huge bonus: lotus leaves float on the water, koi swim to and fro, and the water acts like a mirror, reflecting the eaves, lanterns, and verandas. My favorite way to shoot is with a low camera angle near the water – the reflections are absolutely stunning, especially after the lights come on at night, it's as if another world appears in the water. 🏮 Nighttime Ambiance: When the lights come on, the courtyard 'glows' At night, as the lanterns light up one by one, the entire atmosphere of the space completely transforms: During the day, it's elegant; at night, it's gentle with a touch of luxury. Sitting by the courtyard, listening to the sound of water, and watching the reflections, time seems to slow down immensely – that feeling of 'truly starting to relax on a trip' happens in this very moment. 🎁 Welcome Perks: Free afternoon tea + Free traditional costume experience (so much fun) Two additional 'enjoy-upon-check-in' perks make me want to recommend this place even more: 🍵 Free Afternoon Tea for Two (by the pond/waterside) Available once during your stay, from 13:30 to 18:00. The afternoon tea includes Dali aged tea and Dali's distinctive preserved plums (which I found very local). Sipping tea by the water is perfect for slowly letting go of the day's fatigue. 👘 Free Traditional Costume Experience: Full range of ancient/ethnic attire There’s a whole rack of clothes to choose from, enough to make your head spin. If you love taking photos, this experience is truly fantastic – shooting amidst the wooden corridors, carved doors and windows, and the lantern-lit night creates an incredible atmosphere. 🛏 Room Experience: Warm wooden space, comfortable stay The rooms are predominantly wood-toned, with warm lighting, making them very relaxing to be in. The bedding is clean, and the space feels unconfined. The worst part of traveling is when 'the outside is beautiful, but the room is hard to sleep in,' but that's not the case here. 🚿 I'm also satisfied with the bathroom: it’s generally clean and comfortable, the ceramic basin sink has a great texture, and the shower area is spacious enough, ensuring a worry-free stay."

"The location is fantastic, very close to the old town. The room was spotless. It's super convenient for evening strolls, just a short walk away. There are two breakfast places right across from the hotel. If you don't mind spending a bit and are too lazy to walk further, you can give them a try; it's better than going hungry."

"The biggest surprise at Hilton Dali this time was employee Xiao Gu! When checking in, he proactively helped with luggage, patiently explained about the Erhai Lake view rooms and breakfast times, and thoughtfully reminded me about nearby taxi stands. When I needed an extra pillow for the room, he delivered it within minutes, always smiling and enthusiastic. His service was super professional! I have to give a big thumbs up to Xiao Gu and the hotel. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!"

"Absolutely delighted! The hotel upgraded our room for our wedding anniversary, and a big thank you to Apple from customer service for the surprise room decoration – it was such a thoughtful touch. We had freshly ground coffee delivered daily, and the minibar was endlessly replenished with whatever we requested. The breakfast spread was extensive and featured local specialties. The pool was clean and beautiful; swimming while overlooking Erhai Lake was breathtaking, and there's even a pool for kids. We received welcome fruits upon arrival and more fruits and a souvenir on checkout day. As an InterContinental property, the service is top-notch, and the location is great, close to the high-speed rail station. This is my top choice in Dali."

"The hotel is placed strategically near the road so it’s easy for pick up and drop offs and there is no need to drag our luggages. Upon arriving the owner helped carry our luggages inside and even when we were leaving they helped to carry it again out. For Muslim travelers, there is a halal restaurant right next door! the food are so yummy! I will recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay that is close to many attractions. Plus point for their wonderful service too. If i ever come back to Dali, I will stay here again! Thank you so much for the positive experience!"

"The style is incredibly unique, blending a Chinese foundation with a touch of Japanese Zen. It has the structure of traditional Chinese architecture with its white walls and grey tiles, but then you see dry landscape gardens, bamboo fences, and those exceptionally clean lines, all hinting at a Wabi-sabi aesthetic. The two styles are combined seamlessly, not at all forced. Every step reveals a new view, and every corner is perfect for photos. The butler service is very attentive. They'll greet you with a smile, help with your luggage, and recommend small local eateries that residents love, not just offer cold, impersonal politeness. After a tiring day out, coming back to sit in the courtyard with a cup of tea, the rustling of the wind through the trees is more soothing than any music. 【Dali Yueshanhai Banshan Villa Luxury Hotel】 📍 Location: Dali Ancient City Yueshanhai Banshan Villa Luxury Hotel ✨ Highlights: Cangshan Mountain viewing platform | Five-star hotel | Sky Mirror | Smart home | Private car transfers 🌱 Facilities: Hotel tea room, lounge, reading bar, garden, heated swimming pool, coffee bar, etc. 🌄 Tip: The sea of clouds over Cangshan Mountain at sunrise is the hotel's exclusive morning ritual."

"This was my first time in Dali, and I chose the Pullman Hotel, which offers stunning views of Erhai Lake. From the front desk staff, bellhops, and housekeeping to the servers at the Sky Bar on the 25th floor, every single person provided excellent service. Not only does the hotel offer great views, but the facilities and cleanliness are also top-notch. A special shout-out to Tobias, who found out it was my birthday on the day of check-in and surprised me with a cake. He was also incredibly helpful in resolving any issues we had over the next few days. I'll definitely be back to the Pullman on my next trip to Dali."

"For my last stop in Dali, I chose a hotel close to the airport. The hotel is quite new, and the rooms are nice. They even upgraded me to a sea view room for free. The breakfast was decent. Getting around isn't super convenient, but I had a rental car so it didn't bother me much. Plus, getting a taxi is pretty easy these days. The hotel service is good, and all the staff are very friendly. The guy at the entrance helped with my luggage, and the front desk was efficient. A lovely lady named Jingjing even sent detailed information about the hotel via WeChat, which was a very thoughtful touch! I didn't take many photos, just a quick shot of the parking QR code.🤣"
