Hotel Dali dengan Spa

Oh my god, I randomly stumbled upon this hidden gem of a homestay and it’s an absolute game-changer! It’s just a 5-minute walk from Dali Ancient Town, and getting a taxi to other places is a breeze. Like, transportation here couldn’t be more convenient! The place is straight-up stunning—so peaceful, chic, and seriously, it’s a photographer’s dream! I’m not even joking, you’ll be snapping pics non-stop!!!! Every corner screams Instagram-worthy!!!!!! Did I mention it’s perfect for photo ops???? 😂 And get this—the owner’s got a whole stash of great wine, the service is excellent, and their coffee? Holy moly, it’s mind-blowing! I was so not expecting that. For real, this is hands down the best homestay I’ve ever crashed at. No contest! If you’re heading to Dali, do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS PLACE. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!

Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse, Dali | A poetic stay in a century-old Bai courtyard We’ve just returned from Dali, and the place we keep thinking about most is this hidden gem at the foot of Cangshan Mountain — Mutian Time Designer Guesthouse. Oriental aesthetics in every corner The guesthouse is converted from a century-old traditional Bai courtyard house. With its grey-tiled roofs, white walls, and beautifully carved wooden structures, the space carries a quiet sense of history and elegance. The courtyard features water elements, stone paths, and blue and yellow lanterns that create beautiful layers of light and shadow during the day. At night, the soft lighting outlines the architecture and gives the entire space a warm, cinematic atmosphere. The common areas are equally charming, with a stone-built fireplace, vintage furniture, and art pieces thoughtfully placed throughout. The design blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with modern touches, creating a space that feels both timeless and refined. Comfort with thoughtful details Our room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable. A stone feature wall behind the bed, paired with soft bedding and warm lighting, created a subtle sense of “wild luxury” while still feeling cosy and relaxed. Opening the window reveals the courtyard view — waking up to birdsong in the morning and watching the lanterns glow in the evening adds a special charm to the stay. Warm and attentive service From booking to check-out, the hosts were welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival, they introduced the history of the house and highlighted the design features of the property, and were happy to recommend nearby restaurants and local spots to explore. The afternoon tea was beautifully presented, with fresh fruit and delicate snacks — perfect for enjoying a slow afternoon in the courtyard. Breakfast included some local Bai-style flavours, simple yet delicious, and a lovely way to start the day. A peaceful location near the old town The guesthouse is tucked away in Zhongyin Village at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, about a 15-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. It offers a quiet retreat away from the crowds while still being conveniently close to the main attractions. Surrounded by village life and forested hills, the air feels fresh and full of the scent of nature. More than just a place to stay, Mutian Time feels like a living piece of art. It brought a sense of calm and poetry to our trip to Dali. If you’re looking to experience the slower, more peaceful side of Dali, this is definitely a place worth staying. 大理木田时间野奢设计师民宿｜住进百年白族宅院的诗意时光 刚从大理回来，最念念不忘的就是这家藏在苍山脚下的宝藏民宿——木田时间野奢设计师民宿。 一步一景的东方美学 民宿由百年白族宅院改建而成，青瓦白墙、木构雕花，处处透着古朴雅致。庭院里的水景、石径、蓝黄灯笼，白天光影错落，夜晚灯光勾勒轮廓，随手一拍都是国风大片。公区的石砌壁炉、复古家具和艺术挂画，把东方美学和现代设计融合得恰到好处，既有岁月沉淀感，又不失精致格调。 细节拉满的舒适体验 我们住的房间宽敞通透，石砌背景墙搭配柔软床品，既有野奢感又足够温馨。推窗就是庭院景致，清晨在鸟鸣中醒来，傍晚看灯笼亮起，氛围感直接拉满。 贴心周到的管家式体验 从预订到离店，全程都有管家贴心对接，入住时会详细介绍民宿历史和公区亮点，还会推荐周边小众玩法。下午茶精致又美味，水果新鲜、茶点细腻，在庭院里晒着太阳，慢悠悠享受大理的慢时光。早餐有地道白族风味，食材新鲜，味道惊艳，开启元气满满的一天。 闹中取静的绝佳选址 民宿隐于苍山脚下的中银村，距离古城仅15分钟车程，既避开了喧嚣，又能便捷抵达各处景点。周边是原生村落和森林，空气清新，每一口呼吸都是草木的清香。 这不仅是一家民宿，更是一件有温度的艺术品。它让我们在大理的旅程中，找到了一份远离尘嚣的宁静与诗意。如果你想体验真正的大理慢生活，木田时间绝对是不容错过的选择！

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Dali Twelve Clouds Villa Seaview Hotel (Erhai Branch).😊 The view of the lake from our room was stunning, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the breakfast was very, very good — plenty of variety and really fresh. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and great value for money. A special mention goes to Zhang Feng, who truly made our stay outstanding. Even though we arrived late at night, he checked us in smoothly and went above and beyond to help us. We didn’t have access to the local food apps, but he kindly used his own to order food for us when we were hungry, making sure everything was taken care of. Throughout our stay, he was attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His hospitality really stood out. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful scenery, comfortable rooms, and genuine hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and if you meet Zhang Feng, you’ll be in very good hands!😊

I can't fault this hotel! Location is excellent, walking distance to Three Pagodas (left 10mins) and also walking distance to the North Gate of the old town, turn right 5-10 mins straight line. The hotel grounds and restaurant have a view of the pagodas. Our room was huge, quiet and had everything you might need. Some very nice details too, cups, glasses, cutlery, all very stylish; turn down service with milk. Breakfast was very good, not huge, bit it had lots of local specialties and standard western items. However, probably one of the biggest hotel assets is Kadi, French GM (especially if you are foreigner). He was super helpful, very informative and knowledgable about the area and he gave us some great tips for visiting local sites, how best to visit pagodas, where to go exactly on the Erhai lake (not the usual spots) and he suggested really great places to eat, just listen to his recommendations; he even made chef make us rose petal salad for breakfast, as the days we were there it wasn't offered for breakfast :). Other staff was great too, no English spoken (except Kadi), but everyone was very responsive on WeChat. I just wish we stayed more then 2 days, Dali has much to offer!

Their service is amazing when you're with them but they take forever to reply when trying to contact them before the stay. I was trying to get hold of them for a logistical issue. Other than that, they did wonders in making sure I felt comfortable. There's this tram that needs to be booked by then when we arrive. They are very quick in responding to me whenever I needed it which made the experience very seamless.

Absolutely loved this hotel during my stay in Dali. The hotel was very convenient for me as it was in a slightly quieter area and I was able to relax. There were several constructions going on along the road for new villas but it seemed unavoidable as there was really a lot of them every few hundred metres or so. The host was really warm and welcoming, also really helpful. They helped me retrieve my luggage up to my room on my first day and back down to the car on my last. They often checked in to give tips around the area and made small talk which helped me a lot as a solo traveller. She provided me recommendations, offered to help with any delivery related items as I did not have a chinese number, and even helped me make coffee. Their farewell gift to me was surprisingly some sour plums (their specialised gift) that I had been contemplating to purchase while in the ancient towns, and it really solidified the whole idea of the hotel for me. My booking had breakfast included and every morning the breakfast they prepared (although simple) is delicious. Their dining hall area is comfortably decorated and looks really lovely. As for my room, I absolutely loved the layout and space catered. The smart curtains, projector and all gave me privacy and entertainment while resting. I didn’t get to use the bathtub as it was too cold for me despite the heater, but I really appreciated all the available disposable bath covers/vanity kits/bath essentials/toilet covers. The balcony was my go to place to relax and have hot tea. The separated bathrooms were spacious and functional, and the powder area had a good space for me to do my necessary preparations.

We had a wonderful 1-night stay at the Hilton Dali Resort & Spa yesterday with our family of five, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The highlight of our stay was definitely the service. Alice and her team were absolutely excellent in handling our large family. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure all five of us were comfortable and well taken care of. The resort itself is beautiful, offering great amenities and a very relaxing atmosphere that the whole family enjoyed. Because the service from Alice from the Front Desk and team were so seamless, it made our quick trip to Dali completely stress-free. We highly recommend this resort to any families visiting Dali and will definitely choose to stay here again!

Excellent stay in Honglongjing hotel. Nested in the heart of Dali ancient town, you will experience Dali's vibrant atmosphere and bustling streets. The hotel's service is impeccable. Service was prompt and we were treated to Chinese tea ceremony. The villa rooms were very spotless. The only downside was the road closures around the ancient town. This made it difficult to get to the hotel with luggage. You need a 5-10 min walk to get to the hotel as buses and cars are not allowed in the ancient town. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience

Outstanding service and room quality! Really appreciative of Judy and the other customer service staff who went out of their way to make the stay truly phenomenal! Being up the mountainside, the view was amazing and the villa grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Any issues and queries we had were answered promptly and resolved fast. It’s a short car ride to the old town, and it’s easy to call a car at the villa. Would recommend this place for travellers who want a place to relax and enjoy their time in Dali! Thanks Judy!! (:

Exceeds expectation. Staff was kind enough to upgrade our room so that we will not be staying near the large tour group which may be nosy. Our room was very spacious. Location was ok, walkable from high speed train station
