Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn, hotel in Dali

Boasting an on-site restaurant and bar, Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn offers stylish guestrooms in Dali. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The hotel is conveniently located in Dali Old Town but it is tucked in a quiet corner so it is peaceful. The couple who are running this hotel are really friendly and helpful. They recommended places for us to visit and eat. The driver which they recommended for the one day private tour around ErHai was perfect too.

Yuanshanqing·Stone Hill Seaview Guesthouse, hotel in Dali

Boasting garden views, Yuanshanqing·Stone Hill Seaview Guesthouse offers accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a bar, around 12 km from Monument of Shih-tsu Taking over Yunnan.

Our stay was fantastic. Julio our host was so nice, helpful and patient with us. He found perfect solutions to all of our questions. The hostel itself is really great. Besides the view, the interior is very tasteful and everything is clean. It's only a short distance from the airport, but far enough to not hear or see the planes. In addition to that all persons working in the hostel are very thoughtful and helpful. The breakfast (in our case vegetarian) completed our perfect stay. It was so tasty...I would love to get this soup with these delicious ingredients each morning ;-). We strongly recommend this hostel to everybody staying near Dali. Thanks to the DIDI cars you'll reach all destinations around Dali where you want to go.

    it's one of the best hostels I've stayed in years of travel. I'd like to thank Pan Pan for her dedication to my needs. It's clean, comfortable bed, great location, what more could you ask for. The dorms are not overcrowded, only 3 beds in mine. I loved the background music it plays throughout the hostel. I highly recommend

    Inn is located just outside the ancient city. The location is quiet and not noisy. The inn is beautiful and Instagram able! Room is very clean. We booked a family room and it is very comfortable for 3 pax. Host and staff showed warm hospitality and helped us with our transport bookings!

    It is very convenient and eateries were just walking distance away (Right opposite and besides). Kristine was a great host and we came back to rent a room again on our last day before heading to Kunming to catch a flight back to our home country. The place has easy access for cars to stop if you have big luggage. Beautiful hotel. Love it so much. Will come again for sure.

    The guesthouse was very beautiful, the rooms are clean and the young lady hosting us was very friendly. The free laundry service was great, and the house dog super cute! Location is in the heart of a bustling old town. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay here.

    The guest house is charming: traditional with a courtyard and garden with spacious, comfortable rooms. It is in a quiet, convenient location, just a couple of minutes from the main shopping street. Breakfast was cooked personally by the manager and was fresh, delicious and ample. The manager was always smiling, friendly and helpful. We stayed there for about 12 days so we were happy and relaxed there.
