A park is right outside, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It's also close to the city center. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. The service was warm and attentive, and the location is convenient, close to a food street and Xingsheng Bridge. Great value for money, highly recommended!

Hotel near Dali Ancient City,Dali
The small courtyard is located at the south gate of the ancient city of Dali, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the ancient city. Backed by Cangshan Mountain, facing Erhai Lake. There are a variety of local specialties to choose from, and the surrounding life and entertainment are complete. It is about a 15-minute drive from the scenic spot Chongsheng Temple Three Pagoda Park, Cangshan Grand Cableway, Tianlong Babu Film and Television City and Erhai Lakeside Internet Red Ecological Corridor check-in point. Convenient travel and convenient transportation are indeed a rare golden location!

"The inn's location is excellent. Taxis can drop you off right at the entrance, and it's a short 10-minute walk to the South Gate of the Ancient City. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, and right across the street is the South Gate wet market, making it convenient for buying fruit. Although the inn is close to the road, the soundproofing is good. It also has a washing machine, which is handy for drying clothes. We stayed for three days, and the overall facilities were great. The room was clean and had no strange odors. We booked a suite, which is perfect for families or friends traveling together. Highly recommended!"

The hotel is located approximately 17km from Dali Railway Station and 29km from Dali Fengyi Airport. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Cangshan Mountain National Geological Park Cangshan Cableway, Dali Confucious Temple and Sanyue Street all nearby. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. This Dali City hotel provides parking on site. According to our trusted guests, the facilities at this hotel are first-rate. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling with families.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Shanyuyishe Boutique B&B in Dali Ancient City. The location was perfect for us — tucked away in a peaceful corner near Dali Ancient City, yet only a short walk to the shops, cafés, and attractions. What truly made the stay special was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, helping us with our luggage, preparing breakfast every morning, and always making sure we were comfortable. The breakfast was simple but delicious, especially the rice noodles, which we looked forward to each morning. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially loved the beautiful courtyard and the overall peaceful atmosphere. A couple of things to note for families and travellers with larger luggage. The beautiful courtyard has a koi pond running through parts of it, which adds to the charm, but I was constantly keeping an eye on my kids as I was worried they might accidentally fall in. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it’s something parents with young children may want to be aware of. Another consideration is luggage. Vehicles can stop near the property, but you’ll still need to carry your luggage across parts of the courtyard. If you’re staying on Levels 2 or 3, there is no lift, so luggage has to be carried up manually. The owner was kind enough to help us, but it’s still worth considering if you’re travelling with multiple large suitcases. For our family room, one small downside was that although the room was very spacious, there was only one air-conditioner serving the entire unit. The smaller bedroom felt a little stuffy and warm at night. That said, the owner was very responsive and quickly provided us with a fan the next day, which made a huge difference and solved the issue for us. Overall, the warmth of the host, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and peaceful setting far outweighed these minor inconveniences. We’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy and authentic stay in Dali. ❤️🏔️✨"

"Facilities: The Xiaodu smart butler is a godsend for the lazy – just use your voice to open curtains, turn on lights, and adjust the AC. The hygiene is also excellent. Ambiance: The lobby and courtyard are beautiful and perfect for photos. The rooftop scenic area offers stunning views of Cangshan mountain. Service: 100 points! You can reach the hotel directly via Didi or by bus. We opted for the bus and got off at the Erhai Lake环海巴士 stop. The hotel even provides an electric shuttle service. During our stay, there was complimentary coffee and tea, and before we left, the front desk kindly reminded us about the strong UV rays and to remember our sunscreen! I'm writing this review specifically on my way home because this place exceeded my expectations. We arrived at the hotel after 11 PM, and the front desk lady helped us with our luggage. The room was spacious and clean, with smart home features throughout, and they even provided complimentary fruit and snacks – it completely cured our exhaustion from a day of travel. Plus, it was incredibly quiet at night; we didn't hear a single noise. If I ever come back to Dali, I will definitely book this guesthouse again!!!"

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!

The second time I came, I came here in October last year and I liked this small courtyard. The entrance is the scenic area of the Erhai Sea. I am here again. This time I am going to stay for a long time. Every morning I get up and see the sunrise in the ecological corridor of the seaside. Super beautiful! I also met new friends, and it was fun to cook and eat together, and it was a worthwhile trip. I went to ride 🚴♀️ with my peers to take pictures. It was too comfortable to go to the windy courtyard to drink coffee and chat. Recently, the room was not nervous. The boss upgraded the room type. You can see the scenery on the bed. The blue sky and white clouds are too healing. This has become our fixed position every time we come to Dali, every year, Dali is so beautiful!

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 is absolutely fantastic! I'll definitely choose it again next time I'm in Dali. As someone who's very particular about cleanliness, I was completely satisfied with the hygiene. The environment is also wonderful; our room had large French windows with a beautiful view of the flowers and greenery outside. The service was exceptional too; the staff were all incredibly warm and friendly, making us feel very comfortable. On our last night, we were told that the alarm bell was accidentally triggered, and they even gave us a souvenir as an apology – though we hadn't heard a thing, we were sleeping so soundly! 🤣 The little gift was also very thoughtful, including a cute elephant, a fridge magnet, and two packs of roses! The hotel's location is excellent. Although it's not inside the Ancient City, it's not far – about a 20-minute walk to the South Gate. However, the advantage is the great environment and tranquility, plus it's convenient for taking taxis. A taxi to the South Gate of the Ancient City costs around 11 yuan, and we primarily used taxis, so it was perfect for us! Previously, when we stayed inside the Ancient City in Lijiang, I actually found it less convenient. One day, during a heavy downpour, taxis could only drop us off at the city gate, and we had to walk back to our guesthouse in the rain. Staying outside means taxis can drop you directly at the hotel entrance. Finally, I'd say for Lijiang and Dali, it's always better to choose a hotel over a guesthouse; guesthouses often fall short in many aspects. 😅

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.

This absolutely deserves a full score for a sea-view guesthouse! The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a direct view of Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. You can watch the sunrise from your bed and see the sunset paint the lake. The 270-degree unobstructed view totally exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft, and all the bathroom amenities were provided. Both the guesthouse's terrace and courtyard are perfect for photos, and it's just a few steps out to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, which is super convenient for walks or cycling. The owner was incredibly warm and thoughtful, taking care of pickup and breakfast with great attention to detail. This was the most satisfying stay I've had in Dali. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit Erhai Lake. Highly recommended!

This hotel perfectly met our expectations! The courtyard is absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding area is lively with easy access to taxis and restaurants. It's also close to the pedestrian street, yet the hotel itself remains wonderfully quiet. The owner is incredibly friendly and easy to get along with. They have a washing machine but no dryer, so if you plan on doing laundry, I'd recommend bringing quick-drying clothes as they'll be dry overnight. It rained every day during our stay, and cotton items would probably take two days to dry. We stayed for five nights with our child, and our little one never got bored, often strolling in the courtyard or playing with the cats. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip to Dali.

Our stay in Dali was absolutely fantastic! I have to give Moguwu B&B a huge full score 💯. First off, the location is superb – right outside Dali Old Town, making it super convenient for sightseeing and finding food. We didn't have to worry about transportation at all. Secondly, the B&B's design is aesthetically pleasing, and the overall environment is clean and tidy, giving off a very comfortable and relaxing vibe. The room amenities are also very thoughtful, coming with a washing machine and dryer, which is incredibly practical and convenient for travelers like us! What surprised me the most was the self-service breakfast; the variety was extensive, and the food tasted great, helping us start each day feeling energized. Lastly, I must commend the owners – they are incredibly friendly and warm, providing us with many useful travel tips. It felt just like coming home. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dali; it's definitely great value for money!

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 ❤️.
