Qingxin Courtyard Art Guesthouse, hotel in Dali

Set 700 metres from the centre of Dali, 400 metres from Jiang Gong Ci, Qingxin Courtyard Art Guesthouse offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace, a garden and a shared lounge.

We had such a lovely stay in Dali. The Host was very friendly and helpful helping us to arrange our days. The house and court yard are beautiful. Dali center gets very crowded in Summer, but the location is on the edge of the Old City in the middle of a few quiet streets. We stayed with two young children and had a wonderful time.

Dali Buxianshan Boutique Guesthouse, hotel in Dali

Situated less than 1 km from the centre of Dali, a 10-minute walk from Jiang Gong Ci, Dali Buxianshan Boutique Guesthouse features air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, a garden and a shared...

We enjoyed our stay here :) The guesthouse is located about a 10 - 15 minutes walk from Dali Old Town so its away from the bustling crowd and activities, because of that we got a very nice and peaceful neighbourhood area where we can relax after a whole day of exploration. The host is very friendly and helpful! She recommended great food places and attractions. Shoutout to the host's cute dog Meiya! Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our short 2 day stay. Would recommend this guesthouse for travellers looking for a relaxing short stay around Dali Old Town :)

    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.
