Z.Garden, hotel in Dali

Situated a 10-minute walk from the South Gate of Dali Ancient Town, Z.Garden offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

A perfect place for a 3 Nights stay. The accommodation is near Dali Ancient City which is around 10mins walking distance, and there are lots of food especially Muslim Halal eateries. There's a mosque in the ancient city if you are looking for one. The owner. Mr. Wang is very friendly and helpful. He picked us up from the train station as we booked 3N. He also helped us arrange for a car (w driver) to bring us to the places that we want to visit. It's worth getting a car rather than trying to go places by yourselves, especially for us where there's a language barrier. The place is surrounded with greeneries and self planted fruit trees like lemon, strawberries etc. The room is great, equipped with a working air-conditioner and a full set of  toiletries. Tea, coffee and bottled water are provided daily. The bed is so comfortable especially after you had a full walking day trip. Both indoor and outdoor slippers are provided too. Free usage of the washing machine. The only thing I would like to suggest is to install a bidet for the toilet. Everything else is great!!! Would I come again? It's a definite YES! Thank you for the memorable experience!

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

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 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.

    It is a great hostel if you are fine with squat toilets only. Apart from that, I had a pleasant stay. There are two nice common areas to hangout. Location is close to the old town. The owner was also really helpful, she helped me to find a place to rent a bike and gave me recommendations on what to do.
