Yihai Courtyard Holiday Inn

First off, the room was super clean and tidy with no strange smells. They provide disposable towels, which is a nice touch, and the stone floors felt really premium. You can even enjoy the sunshine from your bed! ☀️ Second, it's just a three-minute walk to Caicun Pier. There's a Luckin Coffee and a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea nearby, plus tons of BBQ places and other food options, so it's really convenient. Renting a car is easy too. Downstairs, there's a rice noodle shop with all sorts of Yunnan specialty rice noodles. The owners are always smiling and happy to chat when they're not busy. We had some great conversations and shared travel stories. Overall, Erhai Lake is stunning, and Dali is perfect for a long stay if you want to escape the city hustle. Come here to soak up the sun and enjoy the breeze!

Traveling solo, I was initially quite apprehensive. But a friend recommended this guesthouse, and the experience was truly wonderful. The owner was a handsome young man, very humble and helpful. He was very easygoing, enjoying tea and archery 🏹 – just for fun. The guesthouse is located near Caicun Wharf. Initially, I stayed in the Old Town, which was a bit expensive. A friend selling sunglasses in the Old Town recommended that I stay near Caicun Wharf for better views of Erhai Lake. It was relatively cheaper and right by the lake. For a first-timer like me, it was an instant attraction. Downstairs, the owner owns a rice noodle shop and a noodle shop, so I could just go downstairs when I got hungry. This was perfect for solo travelers who don't want to spend a lot on food. There's also a Luckin Coffee shop right next door, perfect for a coffee lover like me. I wasn't worried about sleeping alone if I went out late, as there were other guests at the guesthouse and shops downstairs. It's about 200 meters from the lake, which I found quite close. The Old Town is about 3 kilometers away; you can take a taxi or ride an electric scooter. I watched the sunrise today – it was truly therapeutic. I originally planned to stay a few more days, but I was drawn to Dali's relaxed pace of life. I didn't want to waste the money I'd have to change my flight, so I left. I'll definitely come back! 👍

The owner is very young and has excellent service. You can ask him for any questions, including travel-related ones.

The room was cozy, the owner was very welcoming, and they could help rent electric scooters and even recommend things to do in the area. It's also very close to Erhai Lake, just a few minutes' walk from the shore. There are many food stalls downstairs in the evenings.

The room was very clean and hygienic, and the location was easy to find. It's conveniently located for eating, drinking, and entertainment. The environment was quite nice 👍🏻 The service was also good, the owner was very welcoming, and the courtyard was quite charming. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance to visit Yunnan in the future.

I stayed at this place with my best friend in Yunnan. The room was very spacious, the owner was young and had a very fashionable attitude, haha. The room was also very clean, and all the basic amenities were there! I recommend booking here.

The guesthouse had a nice atmosphere and offered car rental services. However, due to a broken window that couldn't be closed, I had to be transferred to a cheaper room than I booked, but the price difference wasn't refunded. Overall, it was good, but the window facilities could be improved.

The owner was warm and attentive. The environment was clean and tidy, and the guesthouse had a great location, just a short walk from Erhai Lake. There were also many snacks nearby, and transportation was readily available. It was a very good experience.

The room was clean and the disposable toiletries provided were of good quality. The room was on the street, so it was a bit noisy at night, with smells of barbecue and fried rice wafting in from time to time. Worried about not having enough time to catch my flight, I planned to check out a day early. After discussing it with the front desk staff for a while, we finally resolved the issue amicably. I would recommend this room to anyone traveling to Dali who wants to stay near Erhai Lake.
