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.

GGuest UserThe floor-to-ceiling windows offer a direct view of Erhai Lake. You can wake up to stunning views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and enjoy the sunset and evening glow from the terrace. Stepping out, you're right in the heart of Shuanglang Ancient Town. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

ZZuoguniangMisszsmmTraveling with my child, we skipped the crowded Old Town in Dali and found a hidden gem instead.
Just a seven-minute drive from the Old Town, we stumbled upon the gentle embrace of Yue Shanhai – nestled by the mountains with a view of the sea. Directly accessible via National Highway 214, it's a secluded paradise where even the wind seems to linger.
You don't need to go all the way to Kyoto; their garden is already overflowing with romance. Sparse greenery, blossoming paths, and the elegance of a dry landscape garden blend seamlessly with Bai ethnic style. Every step feels like walking through a poem. Strolling with my child, even time seemed to slow down.
We stayed in a two-story courtyard suite. Opening the window revealed the mountains, and closing the door, we could hear the wind, cherishing every moment of our family time.
The hotel lobby is spacious and elegant. The sweet scent of afternoon tea lingered, and while I sipped a refreshing drink, my child chased after the floral fragrance. This is what perfect travel looks like.
The sunrise was the biggest surprise! No need to brave the cold by Erhai Lake; the third-floor terrace offered a complete panoramic view. The morning light pierced through the clouds, illuminating the outline of Cangshan Mountain and splashing across the turquoise waters of Erhai. Wrapped in the warm glow, we took photos before heading downstairs for a hearty breakfast, feeling a warmth spread through our hearts.
With the wind carrying floral scents and the mountains holding simple joys, staying with my child between the mountains and the sea, I finally understood the meaning of travel: planting gentleness and beauty into each other's time.

GGuest UserI rarely write reviews, but I simply couldn't resist for this hotel – it's absolutely exceptional in every single aspect. The complimentary airport and train station transfers are a huge plus, and the service is incredibly warm and enthusiastic. They proactively help with all your luggage, big or small. The transfer vehicles are also very comfortable and spotless. Upon check-in, everything in the room is free except for the red wine – instant noodles, drinks, beer, water, coffee, yogurt, and Yunnan black tea are all complimentary. They bring a generous amount of fresh fruit daily, and there's 24-hour rice noodle service, which is a lifesaver for anyone not accustomed to local food; you'll never go hungry. Every evening, there's also tremella soup available. The front desk even has complimentary snacks, fruits, and flower cakes for guests to enjoy. And the room itself? Speechless. The videos and photos on their website are an exact, 1:1 representation of the actual rooms – absolutely no photo trickery. What you see is precisely what you get. The room is impeccably clean, and the array of amenities is extensive. My parents are usually quite picky about hotels, but they absolutely adored this one, praising everything from the room facilities to the balcony views and the spaciousness of the suite. They insisted that on their next trip to Dali, they must stay here again. And most importantly, the staff – from the front desk to the transfer drivers, the F&B team, the ladies who help with luggage, the gentlemen who deliver rice noodles and tremella soup at night, and the three cleaning ladies – everyone is incredibly polite, enthusiastic, and friendly. The owner of this hotel is truly fortunate to have assembled such a fantastic team. The hotel's location, combined with the suite facilities and the wonderful staff, makes for a top-tier experience. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone visiting Dali *must* stay at this hotel at least once – it's absolutely worth every penny!

GGuest UserJust got back from Dali and stayed here for a few nights – it was genuinely great! Here's my honest review.
The hotel has a Bai-style courtyard aesthetic, with white walls, upturned eaves, and a courtyard full of flowers and plants. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and the greenery is meticulously maintained. Sitting in the courtyard is incredibly therapeutic.
The location is really convenient. Just a short walk outside leads to the popular '网红公路' (influencer highway). It's a 10-minute drive to Dali Ancient City, and about 20 minutes to the Three Pagodas and Cangshan Mountain. It's also right next to Dali University, so there are tons of snack shops around, and plenty of options for takeout.
The amenities are comprehensive, including a swimming pool and a gym. For those driving, there's a free underground parking garage. The breakfast buffet offers both Chinese and Western options, and the taste is decent.
The front desk staff were incredibly helpful; they even gave us a free room upgrade. They were also very responsive when we asked for directions or needed anything. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Dali.

HHermesukMy stay at Dali Yunjinyue Hotel was absolutely perfect – a super positive review is a must!
* **Five-Star Service:** The hotel's service awareness is outstanding. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt the staff's meticulous care. They were not only enthusiastic but also incredibly responsive to all my needs, professional, and thoughtful, making me feel right at home.
* **Living Environment:** The hotel's overall ambiance is fantastic. The rooms were spotless, and the decor had a very high-quality feel. It was incredibly quiet and comfortable for resting, allowing me to fully relax.
* **Attention to Detail:** From the quality of the breakfast to the design of the common areas, everything reflected the hotel's dedication and thoughtfulness.
**Summary:** Whether it's the facilities or the soft services, this hotel has perfected everything. Staying at such a high-standard hotel in Dali truly enhanced my trip. I highly recommend it to all friends visiting Dali – you can book without hesitation, you won't be disappointed!

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'.

RRedailaI was so satisfied this time, it's very photogenic and the service was excellent. Before coming here, I saw reviews mentioning dog barking and was worried it would be noisy. However, the dogs only started barking about an hour after my mom and I woke up. The scenery nearby is beautiful; waking up to a view of Erhai Lake was wonderful. The photographers here are more professional than those outside; other photographers just don't capture the same feeling. The staff members were attentive and went above and beyond to help with anything we needed.

HHuke_ZBooked this hotel in Dali with my girlfriend. It's located on the hillside right next to Dali Ancient City, so it's quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel grounds are beautiful, almost like a park, with all independent villas. For some of the further rooms, they even offer a shuttle service. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, always smiling and greeting guests, and helped us take our luggage to the room. The room itself was elegantly decorated and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend staying here, and I'll try a different room type next time.

GGuest UserThe hotel is located on Yuji Island, right next to Yang Liping's Sun Palace, offering a superb location. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with stylish amenities. It boasts an amazing lake view, and it was so relaxing to sip tea, enjoy the scenery, and just unwind on the room's terrace. I especially want to praise the service! They contacted me in advance to tell me where to meet for luggage, and the butler picked us up and guided us on a 10-minute walk to the hotel. They brought us a fruit platter, and even made us coffee in the afternoon. The breakfast spread was fantastic with various options like rice noodles and regular noodles. The restaurants they recommended were all delicious and affordable. Highly, highly recommend!
