Auberges à Dali

The resort’s location was perfect for us - set in a beautiful, peaceful area that felt much less touristy and crowded than Panxi Village. We really appreciated that. Right outside the resort, we had easy access to bicycle, scooter, and buggy rentals. We took the kids cycling along Erhai Lake, and it turned out to be such a fun, scenic, and unforgettable family moment. The hotel also added lovely little touches - nightly desserts and complimentary ice cream, which the kids loved. Breakfast had a great spread, and you could even ask the staff to prepare fresh noodles on the spot. There’s a small playground with swings to keep little ones entertained too. On checkout, the staff kindly helped carry our luggage from the hotel all the way to the main road - a thoughtful gesture that made our departure smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this place for families looking for comfort, convenience, and a genuine local feel.

First off, the owners of this boutique inn really go above and beyond for their customers. They are some of the nicest people we've met in China and our kids loved them. They were always available to talk to, to help us and to suggest activities. They even helped with our luggage from the street. The breakfast was traditional Chinese style and was different every day. They also gave a plate of fried eggs every day and they were cooked spectacularly. My words can't do they justice to how delicious they were 🤣 The millet porridge and youtiao were also very good. There was more than enough for a hearty and decent breakfast! The grounds of the inn are beautiful, proper ancient style and it is very nice to relax by the fish pond at night with a glass of wine or a bottle of Dali beer (a very kind gift). The roof top offers seating and excellent mountain and town views and it's a good place to sit with your own thoughts and take in some mountain air! There is a washing machine and washing lines to do laundry as well as indoor and outdoor seating on each floor of the inn. It's a small and cosy building but you never feel like you don't have your own space. Because it is an old inn, the soundproofing is not the best, but this is to be expected as we didn't book a traditional hotel. As long as you have considerate neighbours, the poor soundproofing is not an issue and can add to the charm of the place. Water bottles are provided whenever you need them, which is very convenient and welcome. We were also able to borrow the e-bikes so we could explore the local area and the lake at our own leisure. This was a fantastic addition to the stay and it gave us some precious memories and photographs from places which would otherwise be unreachable. The location in proximity to the ancient city is fantastic. It is a minute walk to part of Dali ancient street, but

The sea view overlooking Erhai Lake is absolutely stunning! Waking up to the sunrise and enjoying the calm waters right from the room is an unforgettable experience. My parents especially loved relaxing on the balcony with the view, it was so enjoyable that they didn’t even feel like going out to walk around Dali. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, making the stay warm and pleasant.

Absolument merveilleux ! Le cadre était magnifique et le service excellent. Le jeune homme, la jeune femme et la dame qui tenaient la maison d'hôtes étaient tous très sympathiques et charmants. Les chatons étaient incroyablement mignons ; l'un d'eux vous sautait sur les genoux et se frottait contre vous quand vous ouvriez sa cage pour le caresser. Cette maison d'hôtes est l'endroit le plus joliment décoré et le plus agréable où j'aie jamais séjourné. Il y a des fleurs dans le jardin et sur la terrasse. S'il faisait plus chaud, on pourrait prendre le thé et manger sur la terrasse – ce serait tellement agréable. La vue à travers les rideaux était également magnifique. Le petit-déjeuner était délicieux et le lait était à volonté ! 🥳🥳 Les boissons et la nourriture étaient également à volonté, haha, j'étais ravie ! Cette maison d'hôtes a vraiment enrichi mon souvenir de Dali. J'y retournerai sans hésiter quand il fera plus chaud ! C'est vraiment l'endroit idéal pour un rythme de vie plus tranquille.

Un hébergement de voyage et de photographie très satisfaisant, notamment grâce à la gouvernante pour son service attentionné, méticuleux et patient. L'hôtel est situé dans Ideal Bang Mid-Levels, les chambres sont assez grandes et l'hygiène est très bonne. Il existe de nombreux endroits populaires pour l'enregistrement et la prise de photos dans l'hôtel, fortement recommandés !

Great location just steps from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City. Room was clean, modern, and comfortable with good amenities. The owner was friendly and helpful with local tips and transport. Excellent value and a solid choice for exploring Dali.

從雞足山回大理，臨時選擇入住到金梭島。來大理很多次了，第一次登島，這次酒店確是最滿意的一次。房間海景無敵，躺在床上就能看海看朝霞，設施非常智能，衞生也很乾凈。性價比超高！ 海景餐廳的早餐也是小驚喜。

A 10 star experience From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the two Mo sisters and their adorable feline companions, Pirate (the black cat) and Sweet Tooth (the brown one). Everything about this stay—from the location and decor to the impeccable cleanliness and service—deserves 10 stars. The Mo sisters are incredibly friendly, chatty, and helpful, making the entire place feel like a beautifully maintained, quaint home. A few highlights: Thoughtful Details: The beds come equipped with heating pads for colder nights, which was such a nice touch. Amenities: I absolutely loved the peaceful courtyard and the rooftop area. Service: They are very attentive; for instance, if you need brighter reading lights, you just have to ask. The Atmosphere: The garden is lovingly cared for and adds so much to the vibe. Even as a dedicated dog lover, I have to admit that Pirate and Sweet Tooth completely won me over. If you are looking for a stay with character and heart, this is it!

L'environnement est très bon, le patron nous a mis à jour gratuitement dans la salle de promenade Dali. Il a séjourné deux jours vraiment très beau. Il est vraiment très agréable de regarder le soleil sur le balcon. Le salon de Saint-Touché est le lieu le plus beau de regarder le soleil. Le photographe de voyage envoyé est très patient, les gens sont également très bons, il est très bon de prendre le soleil, Chaque soir, je vais vous donner une bonne nuit. Le paysage de Haidong est vraiment magnifique. La prochaine fois, je vais vivre.

We rented the Garden Deluxe Room, with a mountain view. We find the description and pictures were accurately advertised, and the service was impeccable. We were very pleased with our rental, as it was private, clean and orderly. The hotel is conveniently located within the Dali Ancient Town, close to Biai Road and Renmin Road intersection (see picture of map). The morning and night views from the terrace were stunning. The Dali Ancient Town is as lively as you would imagine, with tons of food and shopping options. Our experience in Dali was awesome, with it's majestic mountains, beautiful lake, vibrant towns and peaceful villages. However, the best part of this stay was our interactions with the hotel owners, who are a lovely couple. They are good people - very kind, helpful and approachable. Although we had to use an English to Mandarin translation app for most of our conversations, they were patient and made recommendations that we really enjoyed. They helped us book a tour of Erhai Lake and we had a wonderful time sightseeing with the bus tour company (highly recommended if you don't know where to start exploring). We also took their scooter bike to explore the Three Pagodas on our own and drove around the lake afterwards. Please consider renting their scooter bike, as it was super fun and the price is very affordable. As language is a barrier for us, they not only helped us book our ride to Lijiang, but they also gave us a hotel recommendation, which their son runs. To us, they are very trustworthy, so we're sure we will have another pleasant stay in Lijiang. After all, it's not how clean the hotel is, or how beautiful the surroundings are, it's the people we meet along the way that makes it a wonderul trip experience. If there is another hotel rating for overall hotel experience, it would be a 10/5 for us. The owners definitely made our short stay very comfortable and our adventures amazing - thank you so much! We would definitely come back to this hotel if we are in this area again!
