Hotels with Parking in Dali

"This trip to Dali, I gave myself a reason to 'live amidst the scenery.' So I chose the Zhongli Qianxun Courtyard Hotel (Dali Ancient City South Gate Branch) – and the result was even better than expected: it's not one of those B&Bs that 'looks good in photos but is just ordinary to stay in,' but rather a place where every detail, from day to night, from the courtyard to the rooms, makes you want to slow down. 🏯 Courtyard: The gentle charm of the ancient city at a glance The hotel features a typical Chinese quadrangle courtyard structure, with grey tiles, wooden corridors, and carved windows. Walking along the verandas, you can't help but slow your pace. During the day, the light falls on the wood, casting a warm glow; looking down from above, the courtyard is enclosed in a quiet embrace, almost like switching from 'travel rush mode' to 'living mode.' Even more surprising – you can see the outline of the mountains in the distance. As dusk falls, the sky gradually turns blue-grey, and the mountain ridges appear like silhouettes. In that moment, you suddenly understand: the beauty of Dali isn't about hustle and bustle, it's about tranquility. 🐟 Waterside Fish Pond: Koi + Lotus Leaves + Reflections, truly photo-worthy The pond in the center of the courtyard is a huge bonus: lotus leaves float on the water, koi swim to and fro, and the water acts like a mirror, reflecting the eaves, lanterns, and verandas. My favorite way to shoot is with a low camera angle near the water – the reflections are absolutely stunning, especially after the lights come on at night, it's as if another world appears in the water. 🏮 Nighttime Ambiance: When the lights come on, the courtyard 'glows' At night, as the lanterns light up one by one, the entire atmosphere of the space completely transforms: During the day, it's elegant; at night, it's gentle with a touch of luxury. Sitting by the courtyard, listening to the sound of water, and watching the reflections, time seems to slow down immensely – that feeling of 'truly starting to relax on a trip' happens in this very moment. 🎁 Welcome Perks: Free afternoon tea + Free traditional costume experience (so much fun) Two additional 'enjoy-upon-check-in' perks make me want to recommend this place even more: 🍵 Free Afternoon Tea for Two (by the pond/waterside) Available once during your stay, from 13:30 to 18:00. The afternoon tea includes Dali aged tea and Dali's distinctive preserved plums (which I found very local). Sipping tea by the water is perfect for slowly letting go of the day's fatigue. 👘 Free Traditional Costume Experience: Full range of ancient/ethnic attire There’s a whole rack of clothes to choose from, enough to make your head spin. If you love taking photos, this experience is truly fantastic – shooting amidst the wooden corridors, carved doors and windows, and the lantern-lit night creates an incredible atmosphere. 🛏 Room Experience: Warm wooden space, comfortable stay The rooms are predominantly wood-toned, with warm lighting, making them very relaxing to be in. The bedding is clean, and the space feels unconfined. The worst part of traveling is when 'the outside is beautiful, but the room is hard to sleep in,' but that's not the case here. 🚿 I'm also satisfied with the bathroom: it’s generally clean and comfortable, the ceramic basin sink has a great texture, and the shower area is spacious enough, ensuring a worry-free stay."

"It was a wonderful stay! The apartment was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a beautiful view. All amenities were available, and the building felt extremely safe with secure access and security. The host was very friendly and responsive at all times. The price is excellent compared to others, and the location is great ..close to cafés and a nearby park. Highly recommended! 🌟"

"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."

"Choosing Pullman for the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 proved to be excellent value for money. As a luxury international chain hotel by Erhai Lake, my simple review can be summarized in three points. Firstly, the hotel quality: the location is superb, the new facilities offer a full sense of technology, and the bedding and bathrooms are impeccable. The electric blackout blinds are convenient and efficient. Secondly, the service: Front Office Manager Xiao Ma provided us with incredible surprises for our trip. From room upgrades to additional value-added experiences and travel planning, she genuinely cared for every guest. Lastly, the dining: We stayed for four days and had rice noodles at the Chinese restaurant and two meals at the Thai restaurant, which speaks volumes about the hotel's dining standards. Finally, the hotel's impressive wall of awards is truly well-deserved."

"We booked the Dali Molv Mountain Residence B&B because it's only 300 meters from Honglongjing Gate of Dali Ancient City, and being just outside the city walls made it convenient for us to park our car and unload luggage. As soon as we checked in, the friendly male and female receptionists eagerly led us to a large map of Dali and gave us a detailed introduction to local attractions and food recommendations. Fearing we might forget everything, they even sent us a text with the information. Stepping into our room, the first thing we noticed was the semi-open courtyard filled with tropical plants visible through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, making us feel as if we were surrounded by nature. The sleek, modern minimalist decor and smart amenities were also very refreshing. Whether it was the exquisite afternoon tea after a long journey or gathering around the stove for tea after a tiring day of sightseeing, we felt a warm sense of home. The big ragdoll cat and two Shiba Inus also loved playing and cuddling with us. And the electric blanket was a godsend for sleeping soundly during winter in Dali... Dali remains beautiful and charming in winter. We'll definitely return to this windy city, to the romantic Dali, and we'll certainly stay at Molv B&B again. We'll also share our wonderful experience with our friends and family."

"The hotel is right by Erhai Lake, and the view from the second-floor lobby area is absolutely stunning. We booked a standard room, which was very clean, and the service was excellent. We needed a child's toilet seat, but the hotel only had two and couldn't provide one. I suggested they add more toilet seats (for families with kids), and the front desk said they would provide feedback immediately. As a guest, I felt my feasible suggestion was taken seriously. Also, I have to give a special shout-out to the restaurant staff; they were attentive to the needs of families with children, helping us with things like getting juice. Oh, almost forgot, the mini-fridge drinks are complimentary."

"Hey there, I'm Uncle Ben, wandering around Yunnan Dali. **Location:** I looked at a lot of hotels in Dali and found this one. The location is indeed a bit out of the way, outside the ancient city, so you'll need navigation to find it. **Service:** Excellent! Throughout my stay, the staff's attitude in arranging things and helping me understand everything about the surroundings was superb. **Cleanliness:** The room was very clean. The hotel seems quite new, so the whole room felt great. The room they assigned me also had a view of the outside, essentially four floor-to-ceiling windows, and even a small balcony. It was really wonderful and beautiful. I'm Uncle Ben, a man from China who believes in kindness and charm, and I highly recommend this place."

"First time in Dali, I didn't have high expectations for guesthouses so I opted for a hotel instead. It turns out hotels are just way better. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, even more peaceful and relaxing than staying right by Erhai Lake. The hotel facilities are also great, it's a 5-star hotel and has everything you'd expect, all high-quality as well. The service is very attentive. The butler checked in with us daily, seemingly worried about any service shortcomings. The shower had instant hot water, and the room was completely odor-free. I give full marks for the attention to detail and cleanliness!"

"For my last stop in Dali, I chose a hotel close to the airport. The hotel is quite new, and the rooms are nice. They even upgraded me to a sea view room for free. The breakfast was decent. Getting around isn't super convenient, but I had a rental car so it didn't bother me much. Plus, getting a taxi is pretty easy these days. The hotel service is good, and all the staff are very friendly. The guy at the entrance helped with my luggage, and the front desk was efficient. A lovely lady named Jingjing even sent detailed information about the hotel via WeChat, which was a very thoughtful touch! I didn't take many photos, just a quick shot of the parking QR code.🤣"

"The hotel has a very nice mountain view and is spacious. The hotel staff are very friendly. The shampoo, body wash and body lotion smells very good. There is a robot machine to help pick up delivery to the room, if needed. There are welcome drinks, freely accessible to guests. We happened to chance upon the local market when we checked in, which happens on specific days in the month. The local market stores is right at the main entrance so we had to enter from the west entrance. Good to travel by didi to and from hotel because it’s a distance away on a slightly inclined hill. Still enjoyed the stay nonetheless."
