Dali City Hotels with Wifi

"We had a bit of a disappointing experience at the Jiatu Scenic Hotel. The room listing states ‘lake view’ so we booked that room, however, it turns out that this room does not face the lake and has an internal car par window instead. The listing photos conveniently have the net curtains of the windows drawn so you can’t see this from the inside photos. The receptionist insisted the Trip.com listing was accurate because the hotel was near the lake and therefore a ‘lake view’. They would not change us to a room with the lake view that we believed we booked, despite having multiple lake-view rooms available and us checking in at 10.30pm. They insisted the only way we could change the room was to cancel our booking (and incur a 50% cancellation fee) and rebook the more expensive ‘sea-view’ room instead. We contacted Trip.com who spoke to the hotel also but they were unwilling to help or move us, despite the room not matching the listing description. Trip themselves were very helpful and offered us some compensation. In the end we stayed in the room we’d booked with no lake view. The room itself was lovely and spacious, had storage options and was clean and tidy. If we’d booked knowing this didn’t have a lake view then it would have been perfect! The location is near the station which is great if you’re there for one night, however we were there for 2 nights and had to travel 40 minutes to get to Dali Old Town or the 28 bends ecological corridor, so personally if I were to come to Dali again I would choose a hotel in that location instead. It is worth noting that the hotel is across the road from the lake, so you can see cars and the road even in the lakeside view rooms."

"This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the South Gate of the ancient city, surrounded by a food street. Taxis and food delivery services are easily accessible. The rooms are comfortable, and the bedding is clean and just right. I booked two rooms, and both mine and my children's were great; the bedding wasn't damp at all and felt very comfortable. The hotel's interior environment is fantastic, and they even provide free clothes for photo ops – my family was taking pictures until past 10 PM on our check-in night. The breakfast is exquisite, and the taste perfectly suited for someone from northern China like me; I'd have two bowls of rice noodles every day until I was stuffed! Finally, the staff's service attitude and enthusiasm were exceptionally good and diligent. This hotel is highly recommended."

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing. What stood out most was the excellent service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and responsive to our requests, always ready to assist with a smile. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!"

"We will be back! This felt like a home away from home, except it had such a wonderful view of the lake. The host was super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, close to the railway station, which was very handy for us as we came over from Kunming and then went back. You're close to many of the central places and with DiDi taxi, it's super easy to get around from here. We will for sure book here again; we're already planning a visit back."

"The Honglongjing branch in Dali Ancient City is absolutely amazing! 📍 The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Honglongjing Pedestrian Street. Step outside and you're greeted by a gently flowing stream, and you can look up to see the Cangshan mountains. It's just a few minutes' walk to Fuxing Road, the main street, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and dining. 🏡 The ambiance is perfect! The Bai ethnic architectural style blends seamlessly with modern design. The courtyard with its flowing water, flagstone paths, and red lanterns makes every photo Instagram-worthy. At night, when the lights come on, the atmosphere is simply magical, giving off a 'Spirited Away' kind of dreaminess. 💁 The service is incredibly thoughtful! The staff are warm and professional, proactively offering tips on nearby attractions and local delicacies. Their attention to detail really shines through, like providing local snacks and complimentary tea. 🍽️ The overall experience is fantastic! Whether it's the comfortable rooms, the aromatic coffee at the cafe, or the authentic Bai cuisine at the restaurant, everything leaves a lasting impression. It offers excellent value for money. I'll definitely be back to Dali and stay here again next time! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

"Location: Situated right inside Dali Ancient Town, making it super convenient for sightseeing and daily life. Facilities: The entire hotel is exquisitely decorated. The rooms are spacious and clean. I stayed in a top-floor room with a view, and the scenery was quite stunning. Hygiene: The whole hotel is very clean; you can stay with peace of mind. Environment: It has an elegant and fresh ancient charm style. There are also three super cute cats: two silver tabbies and one Russian Blue. The silver tabbies are very friendly and love to be petted and held – super adorable! The Russian Blue is a bit less affectionate, but if you pet her just right, you can hold her too. Service: Absolutely top-notch service! You don't even need to plan your trip to Dali, the owner can help with everything. This is by far the best hotel service I've ever encountered. The owner's service philosophy is truly commendable. If you're coming to Dali, just pick this hotel – you can't go wrong!"

"The room was clean and tidy. It was really cold in Dali during the May Day holiday due to the rain, but luckily the air conditioning had a heating function, which was great! It's very close to the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, about a four-minute walk. The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, helping us carry our luggage both ways. When we left, they even gave us flower cakes!"

"We had a fantastic 6 nights stay at this newly built hotel, we felt very much welcomed upon checking in by Mr. Li and Miss Huang, everyone at this hotel from the front desk staff to the breakfast chef were extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel is quite new so all facilities are very clean and modern, the room we stayed in was spacious, well equipped, comfortable bed, luxurious beddings, the room we booked has a very nice patio where we had our morning tea and evening gin and tonic, the hotel entrance is facing the old city’s 苍山门。 this hotel is perfectly located, within short walking distance from the old city, lots of great restaurants and coffee shops, the renowned local north gate food market is about 5 minutes walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel"

"Time seems to slow down to half speed here. Open the door and you're greeted by Erhai Lake; look up and see Cangshan Mountain. The floor-to-ceiling windows are like a living painting. The public areas, with their swings, floral arches, and waterside terrace, offer picturesque spots everywhere. The service is perfectly balanced – gentle and responsive without being intrusive. My most memorable experience was the afternoon tea by the water, with the wind rippling across the lake's surface, a sweet treat in hand, and the layered mountains in the distance. All fatigue simply melted away. Wake up to the clear blue water and sky, and in the evening, wait for a beautiful sunset. Sanse Yunhe is definitely a place I'd love to visit again."

"One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Yunnan. 🤍 We had such a wonderful stay at SONGYUN Follow Your Heart. From the moment we arrived until checkout, everything felt peaceful and thoughtfully prepared. A special thank you to our butler, Eric, for taking such good care of us. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, Google Translate made everything easy. Eric was incredibly patient, friendly and always ready to help. What I loved most: ✨ Beautiful modern design. ✨ Spotlessly clean. ✨ Quiet and peaceful — perfect if you’re looking to slow down and recharge. ✨ The staff even carried our luggage all the way up the stairs to our room with a smile. ✨ 24-hour buggy service was a lifesaver because the area is quite hilly. It made getting around so much easier. ✨ I also loved the music player in the room. The relaxing Chinese music created such a calming atmosphere after a long day exploring Dali. Sometimes it’s not just the hotel that makes a stay memorable, but the people behind it. Thank you, Eric and the entire team, for your warm hospitality. If we ever return to Dali, we’ll definitely choose SONGYUN Follow Your Heart again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, healing getaway. 🤍"
