Erhai Xinglai Lake View Inn

Staying at Erhai Xinglai in Dali Shuanglang truly delivered on the 'sea view from the window' promise – the environment is so therapeutic! It's conveniently located for exploring the ancient town, and the owner is very welcoming. The front desk staff even personally picked me up and dropped me off at the parking lot, which was incredibly thoughtful. The breakfast featured delicious, freshly made rice noodles, and the coffee was wonderfully aromatic. The afternoon tea fruits were sweet and refreshing, and there was warm, tasty bedtime milk every evening. The service is impeccable; I highly recommend it!

The front desk staff were all great – they helped with transfers and luggage, and even upgraded our room. Super good! 👍🏻 Breakfast was delicious! The service was excellent! Extremely satisfied! The complimentary photos were also well taken, and the essential oil smelled lovely. Highly recommend! 👍🏻

This guesthouse is incredibly warm and inviting, I highly recommend it! From its location to its service, everything was fantastic. I especially loved the front desk lady; she was so kind, beautiful, and warm-hearted! I also suggest trying out their hotel photography service – it's much more professional than just taking random pictures on the street and the results are amazing.

They have a trishaw service, which made check-in super convenient, and the hotel is right by Erhai Lake. The restaurant has amazing views – enjoying breakfast, afternoon tea, and a late-night milk with that scenery was absolutely delightful. The room was clean, cozy, and even had an aromatherapy diffuser. And finally! All the staff provided excellent service; they were warm and proactive. Loved it! 🤭

The room exceeded our expectations, as did the sea view, breakfast, afternoon tea, and the service! 👍 The hotel also offers a shuttle service to the Peninsula parking lot. Highly recommend! 💖

First off, the location is absolutely fantastic, right next to Yang Liping's Sun Palace. It was so relaxing just to chill in the room and do nothing. It's also very close to Moonlight Pub, and I even got a Thai massage nearby. The breakfast coffee was a latte with latte art, and they also offered afternoon tea scones and goodnight milk. I really hope this B&B thrives!

Exceeded my expectations! I visited Shuanglang last year and had afternoon tea here, and absolutely loved the location and atmosphere. This year, when looking for a guesthouse, I surprisingly ended up booking the same place! The experience was fantastic. I parked my car at the Peninsula parking lot, and the guesthouse staff came to pick us up directly. The moment I saw the room, I was completely captivated. The location is superb – perfect for sightseeing, exploring the ancient town, and just a 50-meter walk to the boat dock. Restaurants are right downstairs. The guesthouse provides daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and even a goodnight milk service. When I bought food back in the evening, the staff helped me with plates and even stored leftovers in the fridge. I'll definitely be back next time! Honestly, I highly recommend it!

This is hands down the best hotel I've stayed at in decades. After booking, they'll contact you with detailed instructions, including pictures and videos, and even offer a pick-up service when you arrive. The staff is wonderful! The young lady at the front desk is not only pretty and provides excellent service, but she's also incredibly strong (she effortlessly carried both of my suitcases!). The owner's service is equally fantastic – I can't say enough good things, you really have to experience it for yourself. The lobby is meticulously decorated, and every afternoon you can enjoy a delightful afternoon tea while taking in the beautiful Erhai Lake scenery. You can even watch the sunset right from your seat and just quietly soak it all in.

This B&B is right across a walkway from Erhai Lake, and Nanzhao Style Island is directly opposite when you step out. It's perfect for photoshoots, and you can even feed the seagulls. Downstairs is the B&B's own coffee shop, which is very beautiful and Instagram-worthy. The complimentary travel photoshoot was taken right there in the cafe. The afternoon tea was thoughtfully prepared; the waffles were freshly baked, and the yogurt was delicious and not too sweet. Breakfast was also good. The owners are very welcoming and provide excellent service. The young lady at the hotel even informed us in advance that she would meet us at the intersection to pick us up, and when we left, she accompanied us to the intersection to wait for our ride. She was very responsible and attentive!
