Pet Friendly Hotels in Yunnan, China

The host greeted us with peeled apples, which was very refreshing after a long journey and we arrived late at niaht so it was verv helpful to calm our stomachs. They also helped us bring the luggages (we brought a lot and was very heavy ). The location is very steategic, super close to Lijiang Old Town and the environment is very quiet so it's super comfortable. Even though the accessibility is quite difficult especially for families with elders, but the hosts were super helpful and always available and ready to help 😊 Thank vou so much, host. The room was super warm too despite the cold weather outside. And the view from my room was really beautiful too

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!

The place is bright, nice and warm in winter.Full facilities are well equipped like floor heating, heater in the shower, electronic toilet. The oxygen purifier is easy to use and well alleviate me from high altitude sickness. Especially staff are great in hospitality, as I was well welcomed by the manager who provided me with welcome drink and snacks.Kitchen staff with full hospitality is so friendly to invite me to her simple dinner, and I felt it was like home. I love this place as it was warm at heart and also physically warm in the room.

The hotel is really well situated, close to the Ancient Town. From the Dali's Railway Station, you can take the bus 8 (~1h & ¥3). Electric scooters were available for rental (¥60 a day for one person) which makes it very convenient to visit Dali and access the Three Pagodas. You can also leave your baggage after check-out. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

Actually, I was going to give this hotel a full score at first. The lobby is very beautiful and high-end, and the room decoration is also very good. This level of decoration is very good in five-star hotels across the country. The front desk took the initiative to upgrade the room type with a bathtub. The children had a lot of fun playing with water, but the drain of this bathtub would not bounce back after pressing it down. Only the hotel staff could deal with it. The children took a bath twice and asked the staff to put it down twice. This is not a big problem for me, but I feel that the hotel staff are very tired. The key problem is that the air conditioner does not cool. It was actually a bit hot in those days. The staff came to see it twice and said that it would be fine after a while, but it never got better. I had no choice but to give up. At one o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep, and the air conditioner suddenly turned on by itself. I turned it off, and it turned on again after a while. It was quite scary. I told the front desk when I checked out, and it seemed that she didn't take it seriously. So I decided to deduct a little point to prevent them from being too proud.

The views are top-notch; if you're not obsessed with seeing the sunrise from a specific spot, watching it from here is more than enough. The room is spacious, quiet, and features floor-to-ceiling windows with an Instagrammable vibe. The hotel is set back a bit from the main road, and the parking lot is up on the mountain. There's a buggy service for transfers, so it's important to contact the hotel in advance. Dining options nearby are limited, so you're pretty much restricted to the hotel. We ordered a chicken, but it barely tasted like chicken, which was a shame.

Overall, the hotel offered a great experience. For those nitpickers complaining about outdated facilities, it's a 10-year-old hotel that's been maintained exceptionally well. If you want new, go stay in a formaldehyde-ridden room! The lobby is quite unique and grand. Check-in was smooth with a butler who made communication and problem-solving easy. I forgot to close the screen window when I went out, worried about bugs, and it was sorted instantly via WeChat. The room size is ample, and the balcony view is nice. The bedding is good, and the pillows are comfortable. They even provide bed rails for those with kids. Beyond that, it's a standard, excellent star-rated hotel. There's a courtyard in front of the lobby for relaxing. My wife wanted to try local specialties like Xidoufen and Barener Si, so we skipped breakfast, thus no comment on that. This is also one of only two Tesla Supercharging stations built at hotels in Dali (the other being Junfa Pullman). Tesla isn't stupid, they choose their locations wisely. The location is good, at the foot of a hillside, very quiet. It's very close to the three cableways for Cangshan. For exploring the western route (Dali Ancient City, Xizhou Ancient Town, Hai She Park), this is the best place to stay.

We loved everything about our stay here! Worth mentioning for: - they offer pickup and drop off from the train station; they even checked our arrival time earlier - the service is warm and hospitable — the owners didn’t even let us carry our own bags - as soon as we got there, the owners explained everything to us (they have washing machine/dryer, they even let us know where the mineral waters are in case what’s in the room is not enough, and they saw us wearing not super thick jackets so they mentioned they have extra puffers downstairs) and even offered to check in case we need to check about our travel plan - the owners are very responsive via wechat - the room is SPACIOUS; the heated floor makes it so much better - most importantly, they have smart toilet (trust me, you will need the warm seat and hot water in Shangrila 🤣) - the location is also superb, right in the middle of the ancient city. It’s like 5 minutes away from Guishan Park and 20 minutes away from Napa Lake (or Heidou Cafe) - there are halal eateries nearby Thing(s) to consider but not a dealbreaker for us: - there are stairs to get to the room, so might not be suitable if you’re traveling with elderly or have knee problems (but they’re normal stairs, not steep stairs) It was such a great experience for us 💓

The room was spotless and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The hotel environment was elegant, with a pleasant aroma in the hallways. The room cleaning was thorough. The staff were always available, friendly, and provided an excellent experience! Fantastic value for money! The room was spacious and bright, with plenty of hot water and effective heating from the air conditioner. It's very close to the scenic spot, making it super convenient after a day of exploring. The check-in experience was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom were a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely choose this place for my next trip!

The room is very spacious and the view is beautiful. The location is great, it feels like more of a local area whilst still being close to the old town, and we particularly enjoyed feeling slightly removed from the bustle. A steamed fish hotpot at yunmu Yao restaurant just down the stairs is not to be missed and was a highlight. Some details could be improved such as providing a bathmat and body lotion. There are also no hooks for the towels near the shower. Cleanliness was overall ok but some hairs in the shower were missed and there is a little bit of build up from hard water. Overall I would stay again.
