2 star hotels in Dali

This was the first place we stayed in China and we couldn’t have chosen a better B&B. The people who run the place were very friendly, welcoming and informative. The location is slightly out of the old town which we loved as it gave a glimpse of real Chinese life outside the tourist zone. That said, it only took a few minutes to get to the main hub and immerse yourself in the Dali culture. The tree...

Stayed here for 1 night. Still in the Dali Ancient town area. The room is very big and cool. There is a rooftop that can see the view around Dali city. This hotel provides a washing machine and clothes hanger on the rooftop.

The hotel is on a street next to the ancient city. The owner is very nice. Living on the second floor of the hotel, you can enjoy the scenery of the ancient city and Cangshan and Erhai Lake. If you want to eat, just go downstairs.

friendly & helpful staf. enjoy stay here

Helpful and friendly owner and good location...highly recommended.

Owner is very helpful . room clean and have a nice view on top of the rooftop. can checkout early morning

It's has its charm if you have not been to ancient city shopping alley but the shops are repetative and the crowd can be overwhelming at times - overall an ok experience, but for first timers it might be a unique experience :)

This ancient town stands out from most others in China, as nearly 80% of the दुकानदार are local residents from Dali, predominantly from the Bai ethnic group. The town retains an authentic old-world charm, with its original gate entrance still intact. It’s definitely worth a visit when in Dali, especially for its local fruits and traditional foods. Pure 99.9 silver is widely available here, but prices...

​Dali (大理) is a historically significant city nestled in the Yunnan Province of Southwest China. Famous for its magnificent natural setting and rich ethnic heritage, it's a popular destination that offers a blend of ancient charm and a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. My family was there last month and would like to share photos taken in Dali. A super nice place that we will definitely be there again

I love Dali the most among all city in Yunnan. Probably living in busy Singapore city and Dali gave me so much peace, fantastic room view, very kind people around and most importantly is the best food (passionfruit soup) among the other city around. The grilled fish here is the best I've had in life. I order and ate every night from Meituan. Look at my last few pictures and I show you what they stuff...

​The Quiet Magic of Dali in December ​Dali Ancient City (大理古城) has a way of slowing time down. Visiting in December was the right choice; the air was cool, the sky a brilliant blue, and, without the summer rush, the usual tourist crowds were much lesser. ​We spent our short one hour, simply wandering the stone-paved streets, framed by the towering city gates and the distant Cangshan Mountains. ...

The location is perfect for a first visit to Dali right in the heart of the charming Old Town, with restaurants and shops just a 2–3 minute walk away. Despite being so central, the hotel is tucked away on a quiet street, so the rooms are peaceful. The building is old but full of character and beautifully maintained. Everything was very clean, and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. The only...

Really enjoyed the vibe here at Dali Old Yard Boutique Inn. Very clean, comfort, and service is excellence; within the 大理古镇 * The staff were friendly and attentive right from the moment we checked in. The room was clean, we received a free upgrade on our 2nd night - totally enjoyed the suite. * We needed to catch early morning train. Staff prepared our breakfast way before their official breakfast...

Really great location right in the heart of Dali ancient town. Nice rooms and good staff.

Cleanliness: Good, nice environment Service: Friendly

Very nice welcoming and service from our host, some more attention can be brought to cleaning and the room was a little too humid

The B&B is located right inside Dali Ancient Town, making it very convenient for exploring. However, I would like to remind everyone not to go through the wrong gate like I did; always enter through the South Gate. If you're taking public transportation, don't use Amap Navigation and enter through the other gate. The stairs aren't very convenient, as the South Gate is a flat path, allowing you to park...

The room is clean and spacious for 2. Mattress fitting with heating pad, a plus for winter weather. Location is walking distance to Dali Ancient city's Red LongJin gate. Wish there was cup/mug available inside the room. Also, the original site with English signboard is under renovation. Need to turn right to the next block where the hostel is now located (but without English signage). Hope the owner...

it was under renovation, but they have another location close by! The auntie and uncle were very kind to me and recommended a lot of different places to go!

I think we got upgraded to a family room but we definitely didn't mind the extra space including a couch and table. They had a waterboiler and cups and comfortable beds with extra blankets, however the remote for the AC was missing and it got pretty chilly at night. Did not make that big of a difference anyway since the AC was located outside the bedroom. Small notice for foreign guests: It was very...

Great place! Nice owners, good facilities and fun to stay at. A bit outside the ancient city but it’s a short walk and one of the best VFM I’ve had in China.

The usual hostel is undergoing renovations at the moment, so the actual accommodation is around the corner. I was quite lost until I texted the 'late entrance' phone number by chance and the owners father found me. There is no bar, pool table or restaurant currently accessible but I'm sure it will be great when it reopens. The room was lovely but very cold with a big gap under the door and a hole...

The staff are very helpful. They are very enthusiastic when they tried to help me rent a bike and call a taxi in early morning. The hotel is right opposite the old town, very convenient. I should recommend everyone this place if they want to stay near the old town.

When we first arrived, was warmly greeted. Our room was, not ready so the lady was nice to upgrade our room to the 3rd floor. There is stairs only, no lift so we walked up and down for our 4 days stay. They helped us bring some of luggage up. The room is so huge, really comfortable space and bed sheets is soft and pillows were soft and fluffy. Overall a great experience, the last night the air-conditioning...

Only the scenery is beautiful. The equipment inside is a bit old. The faucets are loose. Bath supplies are placed very high. I should be about 1.7 meters tall. If you are short, you can't reach them. The floor is dirty. I feel like the proprietress is not attentive to the business. Especially the bath water is very small. The bathtub cannot be used from 7 to 12 at night and the water is very small...

The hotel is only separated from Erhai Lake by a road. The 180-degree sea view, whether it is the scenery during the day or the night view, is one of a kind and you will never tire of it. The room is just like the hotel's introduction, "the room is not only large in size", but has all kinds of configurations. You can soak in the bathtub and enjoy the view. You can see and enjoy the beautiful scenery...

The hotel faces the Erhai Lake across the road, and the scenery is first-class. The room is super large, basically one living room, one bedroom and one balcony, very comfortable. The mirror of the sky on the roof is a check-in point, and you can take a big picture if you take a photo. The only regret is that the toilet is not flush enough.

Clean rooms Friendly host Breakfast at 58 RMB was very filling and tasty Location is in old city and easy but not within a congested area

A great place to stay with really helpful people, beautiful rooms and a fantastic location. Couldn't recommend it enough - excellent place

A great place to stay with really helpful people, beautiful rooms and a fantastic location. Couldn't recommend it enough - excellent place

Huge thanks to the guesthouse for their kind and professional recommendations for our travel itinerary.

The location is extremely convenient, just a 3-minute walk from Renmin Road, the busiest street in the ancient city. It's incredibly clean and hygienic. The owner is warm and hospitable, helping us plan our itinerary and recommending great food. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Dali.

The inn was clean and well-maintained, and the location was excellent. It was convenient for shopping and dining, with many commercial establishments and restaurants nearby. The owner was very friendly and gave us great recommendations for places to visit. The cat was also incredibly cute! ☺️

I never imagined I'd be able to take my mom to such a hidden gem of a B&B. It's a listed cultural relic building, preserving the original materials from a century ago to the utmost. The owner was so kind and helpful in explaining the ancient city and its architecture, and staying here was truly a cultural experience. The B&B is centrally located yet peaceful amidst the hustle and bustle; everything...

The inn is in a great location, just a stone's throw from the ancient city center, yet very quiet and quaint. The room was large and clean, and the owner was very welcoming. I will definitely stay here again next time I come.

Great environment, beautiful yard

I really like the style of the old house. Next to it is the Catholic church. It is very photogenic.

I like this quiet little courtyard. The boss is very enthusiastic, the service is very good, it is clean and hygienic. It is in the ancient city and is very convenient to get in and out.

Everything is pretty good. The facilities in the old house are definitely not comparable to those in the new house, and it is also worth recommending.

The B&B is close to the beach, the ecological corridor, and the Sea Tongue Park. It is also convenient to take a tricycle at the intersection. The owner is also very nice and enthusiastic to plan places for us to visit.

The B&Bs next to Xizhou Ancient Town are also very affordable during the Chinese New Year. The room layout is quite good, the toilet is large, and the water is large and warm. There is a small courtyard and you can sunbathe on the roof. The boss is very enthusiastic. It's just that the public area is a bit messy and lacks interest.

The room is clean and spacious. When I went there in the afternoon, the room was easy to find and the sun was shining. It is also close to Erhai Lake and Xizhou, which is very convenient. The boss is super nice and gentle. Thank you very much to the boss. It is worth staying here.

The environment is good and very quiet at night. I am satisfied with all aspects. Especially the boss is nice. In short, I am very satisfied. Worth recommending.

Very good accommodation experience, very close to Erhai Lake, very convenient for watching the sunrise, not far from Xizhou Ancient Town, the owner and housekeeper are very nice, and the accommodation conditions are also great.

The B&B is near the Haishe Park and also very close to the wheat fields of Xizhou Ancient Town, but what is even more beautiful is the rice fields and mountains you encounter on the way from the B&B to the Xizhou Octagonal Building. They are really beautiful... Chino, the dog raised by the B&B owner, is very well-behaved. He always comes to greet you every time you come back. He is a sensible Corgi...

The room was nice and clean and the location was close to the ancient town yet quiet. The owner is really nice and helpful. I had a great stay!

Very nice hoste and a lovely hotel!

Hygiene: Pretty good, the bedding was clean, and the bathroom was clean too. Facilities: There was a bed curtain, a small lamp, and a washing machine. There's a small balcony. One minor issue: the bathroom door closes slightly with a gap, which makes me feel a little uneasy, but otherwise it's quite good.

The guesthouse has a small dog with a very good temperament; it's quiet and doesn't make a fuss, just wags its tail. The service is excellent, and the location is great; there are car rentals nearby, so you can take a taxi directly there.

The dog is clean, well-behaved, and affectionate. I love peaceful evenings like this.

The large dog at the front desk was adorable, and the landlady was very friendly, sharing a map of authentic local restaurants. I stayed in a double room, which was a bit small. I hope they can replace the curtains/bed curtains with blackout ones. The location is quite convenient; Didi (ride-hailing service) can get you to the door. There's a communal area on the balcony for drying clothes.

This is an inn that is very suitable for young people to stay in. The staff is very enthusiastic, the room is very cozy, there is a cat in the inn that is free and comfortable. The location is at the north gate Zhonghe Creek, and you can see Cangshan Mountain when you go out. In terms of hygiene, I noticed that the elder sister cleaned the room very seriously during the few days I stayed there, so...

The boss was very nice. Seeing that we had two children, he helped us change the room to a twin bed. It was very considerate. The environment was also very good, and there were kittens, which we loved. The only minor flaw was that the color of the wall in the room had peeled off a little bit over time.

It's not suitable to stay with kids. The bed in the room we stayed in was broken and creaked all the time. It's best to book a room in advance for summer vacation. We didn't book in advance, so we had no choice of room. It's the worst B&B I've stayed in, but the owner is very enthusiastic!

The car broke down when I drove to Lhasa via Dali. I hurriedly found a hotel close to the ancient city as it was getting dark. The guy at the front desk was very nice, warm and polite, and helped me carry my luggage upstairs. The hotel is decorated in a very artistic style, just like the pictures, and the room is suitable for the price-performance ratio. The entrance is small and unique. The room is...

A very cozy inn, very close to the North City Gate, a quiet place in a bustling city. Run by two big boys from Xi'an, it is not easy to survive the three-year epidemic. There is a large balcony on the roof for drying clothes, the only downside is that there is no washing machine for washing clothes.

The room is quite cost-effective. My daughter likes it and thinks it is very special. There is a Beimen vegetable market next to it, which is also very convenient for eating. It is still recommended.

The boss was quite enthusiastic and the recommended places to eat were not bad. He also helped with the luggage. The roads in Dali Ancient Town were more friendly to us with luggage than those in Lijiang Ancient Town. Overall, the price-performance ratio was very high.

I overall had a good stay and the hostel has a great & quiet location just outside the ancient town. The bedlinen I received for my bed was clean, the downside is that the bathroom and common areas were quite dirty. On the other end it's very budget...

The price is worth it, you get what you pay for. It's worth the price as long as I can take a shower and charge my phone. I originally just wanted to put my luggage and rest, but my friend had already booked a hotel, so I thought since I was already here, I might as well give it a try. And my friends were all very enthusiastic. Those who are financially strapped can give it a try, and those who can...

It’s pretty good, Dali is also very good.

Hostel is very dirty, but on the other hand it is very cheap and has a good location close to the Old Town. Staff doesn't speak English.

The room was OK, but I could actually see people on the rooftop platform through the roof glass while lying on the bed. I wonder if he could see me through the glass, which was a bit embarrassing. In addition, there were often people drinking and chatting at the door late at night, and the noise was very obvious. I had to remind them several times before they calmed down. I was really impressed.

The room is clean and tidy, the hotel environment is beautiful, and the service attitude is good

The room was spacious and clean, better than expected. The third-floor terrace offered a view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The staff said you could watch the sunrise, but it was a shame we woke up late. Overall, it was excellent in every way. The only downside was the lack of an elevator. It's a great value for money and highly recommended.

It's convenient to eat nearby and the residential area is relatively quiet, but it's not easy to get a taxi

The overall environment is very good and the lighting is also good

A very ancient hotel... full of Chinese flavor. Against the backdrop of Cangshan Mountain, the observation deck on the top floor has a broad view and the dining is also great. It is a great choice for traveling in Dali!

The room is clean, the boss is friendly, and the breakfast is rich!

It's a nice hotel with good quality and low price. It's close to the airport. They also have a restaurant, which is very convenient. Hygiene: Hygienic, clean and tidy Service: The proprietress was very enthusiastic and even sent me to the airport when I left today. If you need airport pick-up or drop-off, you can inform the proprietress in advance.

It is recommended to give priority to the same price. I am very satisfied with both the service and the cleanliness. It is more than one kilometer away from the expressway exit. Parking is also very convenient. There is a large parking lot and it is free.

The boss was very welcoming and helped us take our luggage to the third floor. The boss's wife was also very kind and asked if we needed anything. The hotel is decorated in Chinese style and has a very good location. It is on a busy street but not noisy.

The room was smart, the bed was large, and it was very clean. The hotel's interior is quite unique. There's private parking within the scenic area. It's very convenient and perfect for a vacation. The neighborhood is quiet and out of the city center.

The hotel is beautiful, with a quiet side street, lush greenery, and beautifully decorated buildings. The rooms are also very new, and the rooms are quiet both day and night. The owner was very polite and helped with luggage and checking in. It was very nice. Thumbs up!

The hotel has a great location on a side street in the heart of the old town, very quiet at night, away from the noise of the main road. The facilities are complete and very clean; the bathrooms seem newly renovated and are very spotless. The central courtyard is beautiful. Facilities: Excellent facilities Cleanliness: I slept very comfortably and the cleanliness was excellent; I had no discomfort...

The room was nice, very quiet, and had a classic, antique feel; I loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept very well. The view of Cangshan Mountain from the window was beautiful.

I stayed at Four Seasons on the Cloud during this trip and had a great experience! From the moment you step into the hotel, the enthusiastic front desk service makes you feel warm. The room is clean and tidy, warmly decorated, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. You can sleep soundly all night. The sound insulation effect of the room is also very good, and there is no disturbance from the outside...

The room was clean and cozy, and the owner was incredibly thoughtful. Excellent value for money, highly recommend!

The room was clean and hygienic, the surrounding environment was great, and it was convenient for getting around. I had a very pleasant stay.

Great location, easy to get around. The hotel itself is lovely, very clean and tidy, and the service is excellent. Definitely recommend!
