Top Erhai Lake Hotel Reviews

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 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!!!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great, service is also great than I have ever met."
