Top Dali City Hotel Reviews

Dali Yanyuan Mountain Retreat（大理晏清山居客栈)

10/10 Excellent

"The staff offers us with extraordinary service, and the facility is new and well maintained. We had a great experience at this guesthouse."

The Windyard Kazan Onsen Hotel-Private Hot Spring Bathtub close to South Gate of Dali Ancient Town

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay for us, the room was clean, staff very friendly, but if you are a non smoker, there's second hand smoke in the breakfast area or common areas, which is typical of most properties as the staff smoke. The breakfast is suited for Chinese travelers, so if you are accustomed to a western style breakfast, you won't find it here."

Dali Old Courtyard Boutique Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful owners,, pretty location, lovely little puppy"

Hilton Garden Inn Dali Ancient City

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in good location, close to 3 Pagodas, Ancient Town & Cable Car Stations for trips up the mountain. Plenty of local food options within minutes"

SIXI GOLDEN SUNRISE SOUND SLEEP HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and the gentleman working behind the front desk was very friendly and tried his very best to help with questions we had about traveling around Dali. The hotel is right in the middle of Dali Ancient City, so if that's what you want the location is excellent. It's a bit of a ride to the train station, but Didi's are very affordable. The hotel is very hard to find and the translation for the name of the hotel from English to Mandarin doesn't give the right name of the hotel. It took us awhile to find the hotel and even our DiDi driver from the airport didn't know the name of the hotel, somehow we found it. It's a small boutique hotel with clean rooms, comfortable bed, and breakfast made to order. Overall it was a good stay for the price."

Dali City Shijing Boutique Homestay

10/10 Excellent

"特别棒！！！"

Dali Taoxi Secret Manor

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast, the view in the breakfast area is amazing, decent dining experience. Would be super helpful if there are laundry room and fitness room. The environment outside the hotel is chaotic and not clean. Our driver Mr. Yong Zhao is very professional and nice!!!"
