Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station)
9.2 (1,540 reviews)

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★

📍 No. 112 Binhai Avenue, Xiaguan, Dali

"Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! ⭐️ The staff were excellent and very helpful throughout our stay. Even though they didn’t really speak English, they still made a great effort to assist us whenever we needed help. Really appreciate their patience and hospitality! 🙌🏻 For Muslim travellers, halal food is available around the area, but most halal restaurants are not within walking distance. You’ll need to take a DiDi to get to them, so it’s something to keep in mind when choosing this hotel. Other than that, the view from the hotel is beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of the stay. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend this hotel! 👍🏻"

"My stay at Songyun Banshan Hotel during my trip to Dali exceeded all expectations. Perched halfway up the mountain, the hotel offers expansive views. From the terrace, you can see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and the evening glow is incredibly beautiful and soothing, perfect for photos. The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and all the facilities were well-maintained and easy to use. The butler, Allen, provided thoughtful and attentive service; check-in was efficient, and any requests were promptly addressed. Breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The hotel's environment is tranquil and peaceful, far from the city noise, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. It’s perfect for both couples and solo travelers, and the value for money is excellent. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Dali."

Jiatu Scenic Hotel (Dali Erhai Park Railway Station) ★★
"I stayed for five days and was very satisfied overall! The sea-view room I booked was comfortable, and it was only a few steps away from Erhai Lake, so I could just stroll around whenever I wanted. The front desk staff were all very nice, there was free coffee that could also be delivered to the room, and the location near the city made ordering takeout very cheap. It was a very comfortable trip."

Dali Molv Shanshe Smart Homestay ★★★★
"The homestay is really awesome… honestly, I would give it a 20/10 if I could. The location is super convenient and just 5-10 minutes walk to Dali Ancient Old Town. The room itself is super spacious, clean, nice and comfy bed, digital toilet bowl, with all the toiletries) I’m also extremely satisfied with their service, the owner/staff is really friendly, informative and attentive to our needs. They also provide food for each time of the day (breakfast u could choose Mixian/congee, mid-day they will provide with fruit platter, at night they still provide green bean soup for dessert). It’s really hard for me to lose weight here lol. Another highlight of the place is the dogs, I would die for them. They are super cute and friendly!! I will definitely come back to this homestay if I’m back in Dali and I will recommend this place to my friends too~~ 小姐姐很友善,服务很周到,狗狗超可爱,住的很开心!"

"Located at the east gate of ancient town is a short walking distance from direct bus no. 8 from Dali Train station, the whole journey take about 1hr. Most if the happening is on the north gate for the morning market and the shopping in the town on the south gate, so East gate is not idea but not too bad, there is also a direct bus to Erhai, the ride is just 15min. For the room is very clean the hosts are friendly, but do take note hot season Dali has mosquitoes."

Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel ★★★★
"Choosing the Songyun Banshan Hotel for my Dali trip was an absolute treasure! The pure white cliffside architecture creates an incredible atmosphere, and the unobstructed hillside views offer panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The infinity pool and cave cafe are perfect for stunning photoshopped-looking shots, and the hotel even provides a complimentary travel photoshoot. The rooms are clean and bright, with panoramic French windows and a viewing balcony. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the smart home features throughout the room are a thoughtful touch. Our butler, Allen, provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from handling our luggage to promptly responding to all our needs. The breakfast ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's a quiet and healing escape from the bustling city, perfect for couples or a girls' getaway. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Dali. Highly recommend!"

"This is my second stay at Yue Shan Hai, and the room is still very comfortable. Soaking in the bathtub while looking out at Erhai Lake is incredibly peaceful. The front desk staff are all very warm and thoughtful, and they even gave me freshly baked flower cakes. The book bar on the third floor has a great view – I highly recommend checking it out. There are also plenty of snacks around the hotel, and the transportation is very convenient."
