Hotels with Airport Shuttle in Dali City

"I first heard about this place on Instagram and thought it was so beautiful. Its incredible structure is just as gorgeous when you see it in person. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. It was so cool because they had a machine that translates different languages depending on what you speak. This was the first time I’d ever seen anything like it and found it very helpful as I don’t speak Mandarin. Breakfast isn’t included but you can purchase their set meals for 37 yuan and have it while looking out at the beautiful courtyard. If you need train station transfer, you can easily ask for it for 80 yuan per way which made my check in and check out process smooth. They also allow you to try on their cultural costumes for free. If you need hair, makeup and photography services than it’s 499 yuan. As a solo traveler, I decided to try it out. They were very nice, however I definitely struggled with the very white makeup since I myself am very tanned. In their defense they did their best with trying to give me something darker and in the makeup room it seemed fine. But with the different lighting outside and the camera flash, when I got my pictures back I basically had a ghost face 😞 The foundation also wasn’t applied to my neck and arms, so it was very apparent. I’ve asked the photographer to help standardize my skin so hopefully that helps whenever it’s done. You receive a total of 9 retouches photos as part of the package. However, if you prefer to do your own makeup or are traveling with others then they can take pictures for you instead. The place is very convenient for finding restaurants and if you’re primary goal is the visit the old town. It’s very close by, so I was able to explore easily and then return to the hotel for breaks when needed. Lastly, you can use their laundry machines and get laundry pellets for free. Ideally this is great. But I will say the drying part is dreadful. The instructions say to do the 2/3 rule. However, even when I followed and put a small batch of clothes in it never dried. I tried once for 1.5 hours, then again for another hour, and still nothing. That was probably the only real part that was frustrating."

"We will be back! This felt like a home away from home, except it had such a wonderful view of the lake. The host was super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, close to the railway station, which was very handy for us as we came over from Kunming and then went back. You're close to many of the central places and with DiDi taxi, it's super easy to get around from here. We will for sure book here again; we're already planning a visit back."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warm Hospitality and Beautiful Stay in Dali I had a wonderful stay at Dali Yuchuanshu Guanshan Inn (Dali Ancient City Branch) from 11–12 June 2026, and it exceeded my expectations. The inn has a charming atmosphere with tasteful décor that blends traditional style with modern comfort, creating a peaceful and relaxing environment. The room was clean, cozy, and well maintained, with comfortable bedding and everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. They were also happy to offer helpful local recommendations and assistance whenever needed. The location is excellent, situated close to Dali Ancient City, making it easy to explore the historic streets, cafés, shops, and local attractions on foot while still enjoying a quiet and restful night’s sleep. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this inn to anyone looking for a comfortable, authentic, and memorable experience in Dali. I would gladly stay here again on a future visit."

"I booked both a twin room and a king room with a view, and both were absolutely beautiful. The king room with a view was especially great, with a super large bathtub that was perfect for a relaxing soak. Even though it rained, the room was still very picturesque and made for great photos. My baby also loved playing in the room. I've already recommended this place to my friends – it's truly excellent value for money!"

"Cleanliness: Very clean and hygienic. The bathroom has a wet and dry separation, and the bedding is spotless. Ambiance: There are sofas and swings on the first floor and also on the second floor, but we stayed on the first floor and didn't go to the second. It's really beautiful. The owner is incredibly kind and enthusiastic, truly exceptional! I've never met such a wonderful guesthouse owner, and he's handsome too! It's very convenient for taxis here, located at the North Gate of the ancient city, so you can go explore the ancient city anytime. Plus, there's a night market right outside in the evenings, perfect for grabbing food whenever you like. There are also breakfast options in the mornings. You can't hear the night market noise from the room at night. The owner is absolutely wonderful! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!! The owner is good to everyone! 😂😂😂 Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people!!!"

"The first hotel on our Yunnan trip was absolutely fantastic! The moment we stepped into the courtyard, we were instantly charmed by the beautiful flowers and plants, and seeing the adorable cats and dogs just lifted our spirits. The room was very clean, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, which is one of my must-haves when choosing accommodation. The bedding was super comfortable, and the bed was great for sleeping. They even had a direct drinking water dispenser in the room, which felt much safer than an electric kettle. The guesthouse is just over a ten-minute walk to the South Gate of the ancient town. The walk back takes a few minutes longer because there's an uphill slope right before you reach the guesthouse, but if you rent a scooter, it's no problem at all. They even thoughtfully provided a foot bath tub in the room – soaking my feet after a long day was so relaxing. The staff at the guesthouse were all young men, and they were warm and welcoming without being intrusive. If I come back to Dali, I'll definitely choose this guesthouse again."
