Hotel Butik Dali

The hotel Is within a very beautiful old house with a lot of charm and a great location near the old town. Best of all are the super helpful staff who made our stay delightful and it was never too much trouble to give us advice on travel plans.

We stayed at Lishe seaview resort hotel for 2 nights. The hotel upgraded us to a two-room apartment which I did not expect! The apartment had spectacular view of Erhai in the living room and master bedroom. I had the foresight of having one free and easy day and we pretty much stayed in most of the time to soak in the view. The staff service was amazing. The team reached out to me via trip.com the day before we check in (fantastic initiative) as overseas visitors like me are not familiar with the WeChat usage. When we arrive, the staff were on standby to receive us and bring us to the apartment as we got there via our own driver. The hotel sent nightly desert (white fungus) to our apartment. One important aspect of the hotel is the delicious and wide spread of breakfast. The breaky was on the highest floor offering great views of Erhai, and the lady attendant there was polite, cheerful and has great service. When we checked, the hotel staff came to the apartment and send us to the car. They also presented a farewell bag of goodies - including rose Chinese cakes (which were super delicious!), tea and sweets. It was an awfully thoughtful gesture. I had the rose Chinese cake during breaky and loved them. So I was super happy to find them in the farewell gift. I would strongly recommend a stay here if you are in Dali. Fellow Singaporeans- you would love this place! I think even if I did not get the upgrade, I would have loved the view too. Just keep one day of doing nothing and enjoy the beautiful view and the hotel hospitality. The hotel staff were service oriented, always smiling, polite and helpful. I mean every staff we encountered, even the cleaning staff! This hotel was a great highlight of our Dali stay. I would definitely come back to stay at Lishe when next back to Dali.

I cannot recommend Sunyata Homestay in Dali enough! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a place to stay—it was an experience of genuine warmth and care. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, providing a serene escape after long days of exploring. The afternoon tea and breakfast they served were nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve stayed in multiple 4-5 star hotels across China over the past month, but the gourmet food here easily surpassed them all. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared, leaving me in awe of the flavors and quality. The location of Sunyata Homestay is also perfect. It’s just far enough from the bustling crowds to remain peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to Dali Ancient City that it’s only a few steps away from great eateries and the heart of the ancient town. The balance is ideal for anyone seeking convenience without sacrificing tranquility. A special shout-out to the young lady working in the coffee shop up front—her coffee is unparalleled! My husband, who is a daily coffee drinker and rarely impressed, couldn’t stop raving about her brews. It was, hands down, the best coffee we had during our travels. The staff here deserve every bit of praise. They were attentive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our stay memorable. However, what truly sets Sunyata apart is the incredible owner. My father had a bad accident in Dali on a rainy day, and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would have done without his support. Despite my limited Mandarin, he spent an entire day accompanying me to the hospital, ensuring we were well cared for and understood. The next day, he went out of his way to pick up the CT scans for us. His kindness and compassion left me speechless. The owner’s dedication to his guests is reflected in his amazing team, all of whom go above and beyond. Without his help, I would have had to cut my trip to China short. Instead, he turned a difficult situation into one where we felt supported and cared for like family. Sunyata Homestay is truly one of a kind, and I will forever be grateful for their hospitality. This is not just a place to stay; it’s a haven of comfort, care, and culinary delights. Thank you, Sunyata, for everything!

Hotel picked up from our previous hotel near the high speed rail! Really good service, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The original room booked was quite disappointing, and cleanliness wasn’t very good. The shower door doesn’t close properly causing the water to leak all over the bathroom. But the staff was extremely nice and changed our room into a suite. It was a nice upgrade, the suite was definitely much comfortable than the smaller room. I would really suggest booking a nicer room if you have the budget for it. The location was perfect, it was about 15 minute walk to the Dali ancient town South Gate and along the way there’s many shops and at night there’s food stalls. The room amenities itself seem a little dated. There’s a lot of markings on the walls and the toilet was missing the remote. The toilet flushing was also very weak and also flushed automatically with no option to flush multiple times. The breakfast was not bad. The free afternoon tea is disappointing.

來大理前做了功課，千萬不要相信手機裏的天氣預報！ 説下雨卻艷陽高照，説晴天偏偏起了霧。但沒關係，住在朗悦酒店，無論天氣怎麼變，快樂都不打折！ 📍C位地段：酒店就在洱海邊，而且緊挨着文筆村這個拍照聖地！出門走兩步就是網紅S灣和彩虹公路，不用擠人羣，隨手一拍就是大片。 🌸花園式環境：這絕對是一家被低估的花園式酒店！滿院的鮮花綠植打理得極好，環境優美雅緻，哪怕是陰雨天，坐在花園裡聽雨喝茶也極具氛圍感。 🌄景觀無敵：房間海景視角絕了，蒼山洱海盡收眼底。天氣多變時，看雲霧在蒼山腰間流轉，比預報裏的畫面美一萬倍。 💁♀️神仙服務：老闆娘熱情得像自家人，店長小哥全程笑眯眯，有求必應，這種不確定天氣裏的温暖服務太圈粉了。 🍳設施&早餐：設施齊全現代，早餐豐盛可口。在花香和海風中吃完早餐，再去文筆村溜達一圈，這就是嚮往的生活呀！❤️

Hotel was located a short walkable distance away from Dali Ancient City South Gate, about 5min. Breakfast provided was not bad. Both cleanliness and service received was amazing. Hotel staff were prompt in getting back to any queries we had. Received really good service from Gary. He helped us with our luggages, especially with transporting the luggages to South Gate when we checked out. He also gave helpful responses to questions we had.

I had a truly wonderful stay at Dali Hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect mix of comfort and elegance. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of my visit was flawless, always greeting me with a smile and promptly addressing any requests.

The hotel is a lovely place. It feels very spacious and has lots of places you can sit. The owners are very friendly. The room was immaculate and very clean and tidy. The bedding and bed quality was great. Also the bathroom is very spacious, and very modern. Everything felt brand new! Also there is a very cute and friendly dog!
