Dali Erhai Seaview B&B

WOW The room is beautiful and clean. Self-check-in is easy. The room is big and suitable for family or friends. In front of the accommodation, there is a restaurant with complete facilities. The best thing is the view from the room is very beautiful. I highly recommend this accommodation for those who come to Dali and like beautiful views from high floors. The room is beautiful and luxurious.

The location is close to Dali Railway Station but quite far from Santorini Dali and Dali Ancient City. I rate the location as excellent because, realistically, you can’t have everything perfect, so we chose the one nearest to the railway station. Overall, everything was good, and the staff, or perhaps the owner, was attentive at first. However, on the day we were leaving, we were supposed to check out at 12 PM. I couldn’t reach the staff to store my luggage (I wasn’t sure where the storage was). So, we went about our day and headed to Longkan Wharf, returning at 12:04 PM. To my surprise, the lock had automatically changed right at 12 PM, which I wasn’t informed about, and our luggage was still inside the hotel. We had a train to catch at 12:56 PM. I tried contacting the hotel via WeChat, but no one responded. We asked the guard for help, but he couldn’t do much except try calling the owner, who didn’t answer. Finally, around 1 PM, the owner responded, saying his phone was broken. Unfortunately, we missed our train. I acknowledge it was my fault for not checking out exactly at 12 PM, but the lack of response from the owner left us without a place to store our luggage. Next time, it would be helpful if the hotel informed guests about the lock system and responded promptly to messages. That was our bad experience. If it hadn’t happened, I would have rated the stay a solid 5/5. But, things happen.

Really nice place with an awesome view of the Erhai lake. Pros: - Nice erhai lake view in the day, city lights on the left at night - The room is really clean and well decorated with a virtual fireplace that adds to the ambience - Good location, 10mins drive from Dali Railway station - Relatively quiet at night Cons: - The toilet flush is quite weak, will need to flush multiple times if doing big business - The shower head had abit of water leakage at night even though we had already turned off the taps completely

It's a great stay with an amazing view!! The b&b staff, 小乐 was friendly and approachable. Hospitality was great. We booked a cheaper room for the first night as we are arriving very late. But manage to get a free upgrade so that there are no movements needed for the second night stay, and would be less of a hassle. He is always available and shares many things about 大理 with us. The zen feeling make it real great too. overall, it's one of the best hotel we have stayed.

Location was good. Very near to the train station. The room is good for gathering and is at high floor which gives a very good view of the Erhai.

The room had a nice view of Erhai lake and the staff was very friendly to give me good recommendations of places to visit in Dali.
