The place is in the heart of the old town, in a small alley where it’s quiet and there’s no traffic or street stalls to bother you. The room was really beautiful, in traditional Chinese style, and had everything we needed — including a bathtub and heated floor. The staff was very nice. We had a bit of trouble asking for a taxi because only one woman spoke good English.

The owner really looked after us well. Our stay was extremely comfortable. We booked the room with two beds and it was spacious and clean. They provide simple breakfast, it was yummy and homely. Location was superb, close to bike hire and China's tuktuk. We rented bikes based on the owner's recommendation for two consecutive days with great value. Two adult bikes and two kids bikes. The only thing I will note is that the shower does not drain quickly enough (so it pools), but this is very minor and did not impact our experience at all. At first glance, we thought it would be difficult to get food. But this is not the case. There are many eateries available within a short walking distance. Download Amap and search for restaurants near me and you will find hidden gems. One of which passion fruit fish.

I booked a bed in a 4-female dorm in July 2025. When checking in, they even upgraded my room to a double room shared with another female guest (of course they asked if I want that) and the room was amazing. It was very clean, beds were comfy and it even came with towels, Shampoo, shower gel,... Regarding the staff, they are able to speak chinese and English as far as I experienced and the are super friendly. Totally recommend staying there. The hostel has a beautiful and nice common area to play games, even play station or Computer games, but also has a nice terrasse to chill on. The location itself is also fantastic. It's a short strall away to the old ancient town which is beautiful to discover.

This guesthouse is beautifully surrounded by greenery, with flowing water features and fish adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The courtyard is especially charming—a lovely place to relax. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always taking the time to patiently answer any questions we had. The location is excellent—just steps from one of the entrances to Dali Old Town and close to restaurants, bus stops, and local markets. It made planning day trips to surrounding areas incredibly convenient, thanks to easy access to public buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services.

We loved our room as the lake view was right in front of us. Although the room size was not big but it was well-equipped. The location was excellent as it was by the side of the lake. We could enjoy the sun rise view in the morning. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel. Food was delicious and elegant. It had bike rental nearby to tour around the lake. Scenery was beautiful and relaxing.

    I liked the variety of things to do in Dali (sightseeing and shopping) and its strategic location to Erhai Lake. The variety of foods also was great. Also, I liked the overall weather (when it was not raining). It was real easy to get around as well. I just enjoyed going around the city and taking in all the sights.

    Dali is a working city with lots of natural beauty all around. The lake Erhai and mountains were easily accessible and well worth visiting. The Three Pagodas complex is another place to visit and experience. Food options are extensive in Dali, from vegan to yak hot pot!

    Dali is so touristy, loud, tacky and packed.

    Dali is so touristy, loud, tacky and packed. Utterly horrible. We walked for 30 minutes at night to find somewhere to eat and then gave up and went to bed with no dinner. It was beautiful in the morning when we left. The restaurants and shops were shut and it was peaceful with fabulous view of the mountains. The shops are touristy and sell the usual stuff.

    Stayed in Dali Ancient Town at the Hidden Hotel.

    Stayed in Dali Ancient Town at the Hidden Hotel. Excellent spot in a very lively and authentic Ancient Town that comes alive every night. Plenty of choices for food, drink and entertainment. Never a dull moment, but it is China and everyone was well behaved ! High Speed Train to Kunming and Lijiang is fast and first class. Great time was had and the Three Pagodas were pretty cool. As usual in China, taxis were cheap and plentiful.

    Dali Ancient City is a big city, can take 45 minutes to walk across. It is also extremely busy and very noisy (August). Traffic is horrendous, On arrival the taxi could have got withing 5 minutes walk of our hotel, but stationary traffic meant we opted to walk 40 minutes. Pedestrianised streets still have electric scooters charging through the crowds. There are many nearby attractions, but information for planning trips is scarce, and in any case you have to wait ages for a taxi then sit in traffic. If you want a relaxing Ancient City experience, go to nearby Weishan!

    There are so many experience waitng for explore in Dali.

    There are so many experience waitng for explore in Dali. But the traffic management is so poor inside and outside the old town. Inside the old town, the tourists have to walk away from the electric motorbike and the tricycle all time. Moreover some private car can enter the old town easily. Outside the old town there was an accident by two car crashing but it can make more than a kilo traffic jam. But I haven't seen any policeman. So if you want to explore Dali please carefully concern the transportation.
