Mountain view Hotels in Dali City

The owner is really nice, patient and helpful. My Chinese isn’t really good but he was understanding. I wasn’t feeling well and he was very kind to check up on me with an oxygen canister. He will also bring you down to the bus stop. The place is really clean and had really nice views. It was really one of the best stays I had. Will highly recommend! The breakfast was really wholesome and hearty too. They also have really cute pets.Do ask him any questions you have regarding the routes around Dali or even to other cities!

This hotel experience was absolutely fantastic, five stars! It's very close to Erhai Airport and offers a free pick-up service, making transportation super convenient. The hotel boasts stunning views; you can admire the beautiful Erhai Lake right from your room. The service is incredibly attentive, with staff who are warm and thoughtful. The biggest surprise was the dining: the homemade breakfast was prepared with great care, the afternoon tea was exquisite, and they thoughtfully provided complimentary fruit and cake, all of which tasted excellent. Room service was also very prompt, making for a truly comfortable stay. In summary, the environment, service, and dining are all impeccable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time!

We initially only had 3 days visiting Dali, but rarely does a hotel ever influence me in staying longer in a particular city. Dont get me wrong, Dali is VERY BEAUTIFUL. Its got enough offerings for it to convince me to stay longer. But since this is a review of this hotel, I will keep it that way. For starters, the staff: there are 3 whom we've had the pleasure of meeting 1.) The front desk/lobby gentleman who is very accommodating and knowledgeable. He made sure we were happy with everything and even offered to give my party of 5 credits for our ”didi” rides, one of China's largest ride share. 2.) The young lady housekeeper/tea/greeter/everything, she will provide you with all the necessities you may require. Disposable towels it works, give it a shot before knocking it, bottled water, soap, laundry detergent, anything. She also has the sweetest personality and although I didn't speak Mandarin all too well, we somehow understood each other. Shes simply amazing. 3.) The owner, she is a person of faith. If she senses anything wrong with you, she wont hesitate to offer medicine and food free of charge to make you feel better. All of the above 3 staff rescued my mom in law when she felt unwell due to altitude sickness. Oxygen bottles were ready at 18rmb each, they even offered to try it first to see if it works before paying. It just goes to show the lengths they are willing to go to ensure their guests are well taken care of. Now for the hotel: I might have to copy and paste this review because I actually booked 2 rooms. One for my family and another for my inlaws. I booked the largest two bedroom with bunk bed and really tall ceilings equipped with a living room, and another was a panoramic view of both Cangshan mountain and Erhai lake on the 3rd floor corner. I forgot what it was called but the place was dreamy and well equipped. Not to mention all rooms were decked out with ZEN like decorations beyond compare. How can I say this in the best way possible... The location isnt the closest to the ancient city, meaning you cant walk it, but didi is quite affordable that this did not matter to us. The school bells and songs that play during specific hours are oddly satisfying and did not cause any disturbance. Cars will be cars, especially in China, so wherever you stay, hearing horns here and there is inevitable. But the windows, curtains and walls are great for sound absorption. Combined with the beauty and serene touches this place had to offer like the koi pond, zen garden, traditional pagoda and courtyard aesthetics, along with the decor of each room that surpassed my expectations, I cancelled a more expensive hotel to stay here with the intent of trying only for a night and moving to another. With the cherry on top being served by the most humble staff, our 3 nights in Dali became 5 nights. The distance to each attraction was never an issue thanks to the affordability of ride share programs in China. Being slightly away from the busy areas, we were welcomed with peace, quiet, and a community like vibe. We walked the back streets, visited a Buddhist temple about 5 minutes away, and dined at actual local restaurants. The vacation became an eye opener, especially for a westerner like myself. My family and I, even though we still have 2 nights left, already look forward to our next trip to Dali. And when that time comes, this place will be where we stay without hesitation. I cancel a lot of hotel bookings because they rarely match what is shown on the app. You know that feeling. But this place, we were brought here for a reason. My family loves this place. And to the staff, thank you for welcoming us and making us feel comfortable. Dali, into the awakening place. What a beautiful and appropriate name for such a place of tranquility and hospitality.

The room view was pretty good, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Erhai Lake. Since it's on the east side of the lake, you can catch the sunset on a clear day. The hotel's address is by the road, but the suite is actually an apartment in a residential building. From the intersection, it's a sloped drive of over a kilometer, making the location quite inconvenient, especially if you don't have a car. However, it is relatively quiet. The cleanliness was just okay, and the price during the summer holiday was barely acceptable. Overall, it was just average, a bit worse than expected.

My stay at Hilton Garden Inn Dali Erhai Park was absolutely fantastic! The location is a huge plus, very close to Yunxiang Mountain, which made it super convenient to drive over and see the Erhai Fish Lanterns at night. After enjoying the night view, it wasn't a long drive back to the hotel. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable – I slept really well after a long day. The front desk staff were friendly, handled check-in efficiently, and were quick to respond to any questions. Breakfast had a good variety and tasted authentic, leaving me feeling full. The hotel environment is quiet, and it's easy to get around for meals. If you're coming to Dali to see the Fish Lanterns, this hotel is a great choice. I highly recommend it for both self-driving and family trips, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!

The hotel arranged two connecting rooms for my parents and me perfectly. I absolutely loved the entrance garden; it added such a lovely touch and made our trip feel so much sweeter. Definitely a great experience!

🌲 Dali Cangshan Oxygen Retreat | Living in This Forest, I Kicked My Phone Addiction🍃 Seriously, I'm so grateful! The biggest surprise of my Dali trip wasn't the ancient city or Erhai Lake, but this forest B&B nestled halfway up Cangshan Mountain 🌿. As we drove up from the city, the urban hustle and bustle slowly faded, replaced by lush greenery and the sound of pine trees swaying in the wind. 🌄 **The Rooftop is Pure Soul:** I was absolutely stunned the moment I stepped onto the rooftop – the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stood behind me like a majestic screen, with the entire Erhai Lake and scattered Bai ethnic villages stretching out below. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were faintly visible. In the morning, drawing back the curtains revealed a sea of rolling clouds. In the evening, I'd sit on the swing chair on the terrace, watching the sunset paint Erhai Lake a honeyed gold 🍯. At night, a glance upwards showed the Milky Way so clearly it brought tears to my eyes ✨. 🌿 **Immersive Mountain Living:** Hydrangeas were in full bloom in the courtyard, and dappled sunlight filtered through the treetops onto the wooden floors. The natural wood-toned room had floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, making it feel like sleeping right in the forest 🌲. There were also three resident cats, each with their own unique personality, taking turns on patrol. Every day was spent petting cats, gazing at the mountains, and simply daydreaming – my phone stayed at 90% battery, I didn't even want to touch it. 📍 Shanjinjian · Designer Wild Luxury B&B (Dali Ancient City Branch) #DaliB&B #DaliTravel #CangshanErhai #WildLuxuryB&B #ForestB&B #MyLifePhoto #DaliSeclusionGuide

The view was fantastic; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my room. Service was excellent, with very efficient pick-up and drop-off services, and they even offered traditional clothing for photoshoots. The food was delicious; the Bai ethnic chef, working unhurriedly and methodically, prepared everything perfectly. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

My stay was exceptionally good. The place is very clean and elegant, and both the garden and the rooms are beautiful. The owner is incredibly warm and attentive, answering all my travel guide questions perfectly. The service was comprehensive! The environment is stunning, and my stay felt very cozy. There are also many coffee shops nearby to check out, and taking a stroll in the ancient city right outside is lovely. The owner generously shared her delicious food with guests. Her breakfast is fantastic, especially the rice noodles which are absolutely incredible, and the coffee is super good too! When I was there, guests came from all over, and everyone was so friendly. I even made new friends, new international friends! I plan to stay here every time I visit Dali!

An absolute 10/10 stay at Fansu Courtyard! Great value for money, with stunning sunset views. You can just step outside to catch the gorgeous sunset over Erhai Lake. The courtyard has a wonderful vibe—it's clean, comfortable, and the hosts are attentive. Parking is very convenient if you're driving. They treat you to complimentary coffee every day; sitting in the courtyard, sipping coffee and enjoying the evening breeze is just so relaxing. The guesthouse is located close to the fish lantern viewing spot, making it easy to watch the sunset in the evening and admire the glowing fish lanterns at night. Such a peaceful and healing experience. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Dali!
