"非常差！非常糟糕！非常不愉快的入住体验！五星酒店价格最多三星的服务。绝对差评！当天下午 1 点不到就到酒店了，上一个住户还没退房，让我们等。等没问题，还没到 2 点，但不能牺牲和占用下一个住客的权利和时间吧？后面一直催一直催，酒店则以各种理由拖延，一会说住户延迟退房，一会说东西还在房间，不方便打扫，一直等到4 点多才入住，整整晚了两个多小时，下午的旅游计划也都打乱了。这还不止，进入房间还一股消毒水味道，直到一小时后才散去。过程中，酒店回复他们做了什么？说住户没回来，酒店将他们东西先搬走了。酒店为了保证入住体验，安排了2 个阿姨打扫并全屋消毒了......这些，难道不是你们应该做的吗？不是我让你们如此局促的打扫房间的。如果酒店跟前一个的住户沟通好何时必须要退房，预留足够的清扫时间，这些事情都提前安排好，给本人不愉快的事也都不会发生！不是么？"

Top Erhai Lake Hotel Reviews

The Windyard Kazan Onsen Hotel-Private Hot Spring Bathtub close to South Gate of Dali Ancient Town

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay for us, the room was clean, staff very friendly, but if you are a non smoker, there's second hand smoke in the breakfast area or common areas, which is typical of most properties as the staff smoke. The breakfast is suited for Chinese travelers, so if you are accustomed to a western style breakfast, you won't find it here."

Hilton Garden Inn Dali Ancient City

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in good location, close to 3 Pagodas, Ancient Town & Cable Car Stations for trips up the mountain. Plenty of local food options within minutes"

SIXI GOLDEN SUNRISE SOUND SLEEP HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and the gentleman working behind the front desk was very friendly and tried his very best to help with questions we had about traveling around Dali. The hotel is right in the middle of Dali Ancient City, so if that's what you want the location is excellent. It's a bit of a ride to the train station, but Didi's are very affordable. The hotel is very hard to find and the translation for the name of the hotel from English to Mandarin doesn't give the right name of the hotel. It took us awhile to find the hotel and even our DiDi driver from the airport didn't know the name of the hotel, somehow we found it. It's a small boutique hotel with clean rooms, comfortable bed, and breakfast made to order. Overall it was a good stay for the price."

Dali Taoxi Secret Manor

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast, the view in the breakfast area is amazing, decent dining experience. Would be super helpful if there are laundry room and fitness room. The environment outside the hotel is chaotic and not clean. Our driver Mr. Yong Zhao is very professional and nice!!!"
