Find 3-Star Hotels in Dali

We chose this hotel after seeing photos of the amazing views from its rooms - and we were not disappointed. The hotel is located in a high rise residential apartment complex, and situated in between the east and west banks of Erhai lake. You could see both banks clearly from the balcony, with Cangshan serving as the backdrop. Service was personal and wonderful too. We had our rooms upgraded for free to a bigger one, and the staff gave many useful recommendations of local restaurants, attractions and bike rental - very very handy for cycling Erhai lake (the bike shop she recommended was professional and provided high quality bikes which enabled us to go halfway around the lake, and could be returned at a different location). She also made us tea personally upon request, and offered to teach us teamaking. Overall, a very pleasant stay with nothing to complain about. Will recommend this hotel to fellow travellers who are looking to stay in a less touristy part of Dali, away from the ancient town area, with amazing views from the hotel itself.

This hotel experience was absolutely fantastic, five stars! It's very close to Erhai Airport and offers a free pick-up service, making transportation super convenient. The hotel boasts stunning views; you can admire the beautiful Erhai Lake right from your room. The service is incredibly attentive, with staff who are warm and thoughtful. The biggest surprise was the dining: the homemade breakfast was prepared with great care, the afternoon tea was exquisite, and they thoughtfully provided complimentary fruit and cake, all of which tasted excellent. Room service was also very prompt, making for a truly comfortable stay. In summary, the environment, service, and dining are all impeccable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time!

We had a great stay at Country Inn by Radisson in Dali and would happily stay here again. It offers excellent value for money, very friendly service, and clean, comfortable rooms in a convenient location. Location: The hotel is around a 10-minute Didi ride from Dali Ancient City, the Three Pagodas, and the Old Tea Horse Trail and 15min ride to Longkan Pier, making it easy to explore the main attractions on the West side. There are also plenty of convenient shared rental scooters available outside each morning, and taxis arrive quickly. Room & Cleanliness: Before arriving, we requested a non-smoking room. Our original room was still undergoing a smoke removal treatment, so the staff kindly upgraded us to one of their ”Pure Stay” rooms on the second floor. It was also much quieter, which was appreciated as I needed to work during our stay. The room was clean, spacious, had no smoke smell at all and even had an air purifying system. The hotel feels very new and is well maintained all lights and curtains in the room can be controlled with smart panels. The bed was soft and comfortable, with thick, good-quality duvets that made for a great night's sleep. The air conditioning was excellent and a welcome relief from the summer heat, keeping the room cool and comfortable throughout our stay. The bathroom was equally clean, with an automatic flushing toilet featuring a built-in UV sanitiser as part of the Pure Stay room. The shower had excellent water pressure, and as someone with very long, thick hair, I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the shampoo and conditioners. Service The service was one of the highlights of our stay. The front desk staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and eager to help. A special thank you to the two gentlemen at reception who went above and beyond to communicate with us, organise the room upgrade, and even print several work documents for me free of charge. We were also welcomed with a small gift at check-in, which was a thoughtful touch. Facilities: The hotel has a lovely garden with several attractive spots for holiday photos. There is a convenient 24-hour tea and coffee station in the lobby, as well as a large power bank rental station before heading out for the day. The only small suggestion would be to also provide coffee sachets in the guest rooms for added convenience. The complimentary WiFi is an open network, which is a bit risky. It was a little slow for heavier work tasks but was perfectly adequate for normal browsing and everyday use. Breakfast: Breakfast was the only area that did not quite match the rest of our experience. There was a reasonable selection, but we found it fairly basic, particularly for international travellers, and chose to have breakfast elsewhere on our second morning. Overall: This hotel offers excellent value, outstanding cleanliness, genuinely helpful staff, and a convenient location for exploring Dali. If you are looking for a comfortable, modern hotel with friendly service, I would happily recommend staying here.

I rarely write reviews 😊, but I absolutely have to share my experience this time, as I visited Dali with my two kids! 😃 The location is absolutely fantastic 👍. It's just one street away from the Sanyue Street market, so it's close but not noisy – perfect for families with children. There are many great restaurants nearby, all serving authentic Bai cuisine. Tourist attractions are also easily accessible, and taxis are convenient. The guesthouse itself has an elegant and tranquil ambiance, with modern facilities and a stylish, high-quality decor. My kids finally got their wish with the starry sky room, which they'd been dreaming of. The little tent was adorable, especially the soaking tub! 👍👍👍 After a tiring day of sightseeing, a soak in the tub was so relaxing, and both my daughter and son loved it, soaking every day. Upon check-in, we received complimentary fruit, and breakfast was incredibly rich and plentiful – the kids ate their fill and absolutely loved it! A special shout-out to the front desk staff, both the young lady and gentleman 👍👍👍. They were always ready to help, no matter the time, and patiently provided information on attractions, transportation, and important tips. The proprietress was also warm and thoughtful, not only answering all our questions but also sincerely recommending authentic local delicacies that were simply delicious. The owner is also a gourmet! He helped us arrange for local ingredients like free-range chicken and freshly picked wild mushrooms, and cooked a wonderfully delicious free-range chicken and mushroom soup, along with other local dishes. It was incredibly tasty! We ate it two days in a row and still couldn't get enough. The price was also affordable for such mountain delicacies – absolutely superb! I'm truly grateful 🙏. This guesthouse is warm, down-to-earth, and full of human touch. Not only was our stay comfortable and our meals enjoyable, but we also left feeling incredibly happy! It's suitable for couples, friends traveling together, or family trips. It's definitely on my list for a return visit, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

The hotel offers a fantastic view, especially from the rooftop common area where you can see the beautiful Erhai Lake – perfect for photos. The owner is incredibly thoughtful; they offer a pick-up service, and even reimbursed our taxi fare when we arrived. On the second morning, they brought breakfast directly to our room at 10 AM since we hadn't gotten up yet. We enjoyed breakfast in the room while watching squirrels hopping outside – the environment is truly wonderful. The owner also runs a tea business and even gave us some tea as a souvenir when we left. They truly made us feel at home.

I love this hotel so much. The hotel view is very great and the staff is very helping and friendly. Definitely will repeat. For the toilet very muslim friendly cause it has a bidet near the watercloset. It also serves free tea and orange. Very recommended.

The first time I came to Dali, I originally planned to live alone. I met like-minded friends at the hotel, or fellow villagers. I cooked and played together. I was also very good with the boss. I played games together. This small courtyard is as comfortable as my own home. The style of the room is also very healing and refreshing. Every day, the curtains are opened to the scenery. The sky in Dali is really blue and sometimes there is no blue white cloud! I went to many places, and I stayed for a long time. I felt Dali at a slow pace. I couldn't play, so I took a hair dryer by the sea and looked at the blue sky and looked at the Bohai Sea. It was also very pleasant physically and mentally. Lazy to go out, lie in the room to watch a movie, drink tea, see the scenery outside the window, or bask in the sun in the yard downstairs... I can't praise it again next time! I wish the boss a prosperous business!

This hotel and room were the best out of all the places we chose to stay in Dali 🎉 no regrets at all. It's very accessible, has spacious rooms, and the views are absolutely stunning. We loved it so much that we regretted only staying for one night. The location is super convenient, with lots of shops, restaurants, and activities right downstairs. You can watch the sunset in the morning and enjoy the night views in the evening, with people playing guitars and such ❤️🥺. The staff provided excellent service. Before check-in, they messaged us on Trip.com and then added us on WeChat. They even helped us carry our luggage from the convenience store to the hotel (as cars couldn't go in). Upon arrival, we were greeted with a fruit platter, afternoon tea, and small cakes! We absolutely loved it and highly recommend staying here when you visit Dali for a wonderful experience ❤️.

By chance, I booked a stay at the Meishan Inn in Dali Ancient City and ended up staying for 4 days. The entire trip was incredibly comfortable and pleasant. The Bai minority-style courtyard is truly charming and unique. The inn manager was attentive and thoughtful, and the facilities were well-equipped. The room was clean and tidy, and the inn's breakfast was absolutely delicious. The courtyard boasts beautiful flowers and scenery, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling surroundings, yet its excellent location makes getting around very convenient.

This inn gets a perfect score! The facilities are both modern and inviting, and the central air conditioning ensured a supremely comfortable stay. Rooms were spacious with expansive views, and the setting was private and tranquil. The courtyard design was exquisite, and the evening lighting was incredibly romantic. Service was incredibly attentive; from check-in to check-out, the staff were always smiling and ready to assist. They even helped us arrange transportation and book tickets. Cleanliness was exceptional; towels and bath towels were replaced daily, and everything was thoroughly sanitized, making our stay completely worry-free and reassuring. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Dali!
