The place is enchanting and every detail is curated. It is well located (nearby the ancient town) but also in a quiet street. The staff has been extremely helpful. They arranged my transportation and have been really kind. The rooms are very high quality and the breakfast was great. I highly recommend this

Accommodation's location was good, tucked inside a side lane hence away from the crowd and noise. Reception staff was very helpful and gave good advice on transport options for visiting the various tourist attractions. The room was also cozy with a very comfortable bed. Bottled water was provided every day. One can make use of the washing machine and dryer to wash our laundry with complimentary use of laundry detergent. Highly recommended for one to stay here during your visit to Dali.

Lovely ambience, very friendly and helpful staff. Due to Sanyuejie, water was in short supply, but they still did their best to ensure comfort

It is within walking distance to the Dali Ancient City. Some good restaurants are in close vicinity. There is a street market nearby that sells delicious breakfast. Sheng (sorry may have spelled your name wrong) and Catherine were super friendly and helpful staff and spoke fluent English. Free pick-up service from the train station if you stay 3 nights or more. We had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Thank you.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Staff are very nice and helpful - they reached out to see if there were any help required upon arrival (bag transfers, etc.). The location was beautiful and the surroundings were very calming.

It was an awesome stay - from the hospitality of the staff, to the comprehensive room facilities (heater in the bathroom and humidifier available on request), down to the accessible location. Would definitely be back for a return stay!

It was such a great stay with the family, the staff at the property were very prompt and approachable! As the room did not come with a mini fridge, they helped provided ice cubes and helped freeze ice packs daily that I needed to store breastmilk for the baby. The hotel is also situated in a good location that is not too far away from night market and business district. Highly recommended this property for those traveling to Dali!

The hotel is not super modern but it is charming.

The reception staff are extremely helpful and friendly, and speak very good English which is rare even in bigger cities and more expensive hotels, so very unusual that both have excellent English. The reception staff alone make this hotel a solid choice if you don't speak Mandarin and will need help finding your way around or booking cabs, finding restaurants and other places.

I like everything about the hotel. The room is spacious with everything that you need for. There is a heater, dryer, washing machine. The host borther lim is very proficient in english and very nice to us. Always smile and greet and every morning. Very helpful by providing us a map for Dali town without we ask. Guess what we lost and manage to find our way using the map provided by them!!! It is very useful and thoughful on behalf of the hotel. I had pleasant stay and the hotel exceed my expectation. The location of the hotel is perfect. There is a halal restaurant just behind the hotel (the front row). U can rent ebike just from a shop beside the hotel . Dali ancient town is just 2-3 mins away using ebike. Everything is so convenient. Bonus point the hotel decoration is so esthetic and but they maitain the traditional look. I love everybits about this hotel

Staff were very friendly, offering a free pick up service upon arrival in Dali and providing itinerary recommendations during our stay. The room itself was clean and comfortable, equipped with all necessities.

The room is big, spacious and clean. We checked in late at night, the staff waited for us and help to carry the luggage to second floor. The staff is friendly and helpful, always happy to answer our queries. The place is located next to the morning market where we settle our breakfast. The local breakfast is very tasty.

Pity it was very cold when we were there, with a couple of nights at 0°C, so the rooms got a bit cold. Not exactly the hotel's fault. But the electric blankets saved the day.

Great service. Mr Lin was fantastic host, and extremely helpful. He went to great lengths to ensure we have everything we need for a very nice stay. Gave very useful advice and tips on access to major tourist sites, which came in very handy. Hotel has very good location and easy access to the Ancient City. Plenty of food options as soon as you come out of the hotel.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the interior courtyard. The hotel is located in a more quiet street, no noise pollution at all at night. At the same time it is also right around the corner from restaurants and the old town of Dali.

Would be better to have a simple breakfast option, especially during the winter months to start the day as it was cold in the mornings.

Just a street across the old town. Staff were friendly and always ready to give good advice and suggestions on where to visit. English was well spoken too.

It would be good if mugs can be provided for making coffee.

The location of the hotel is excellent with many eateries nearby and the Ancient city is just across the road. Overall we love the cleanliness of the whole place, the bed and the electric blanket was so comfy and we are provided with chinese tea, coffee and lots of water to hydrate ourselves in this cold and dry season. Best of all is the hospitality shown by the staff especially Wang Yi, who was amazing. He gave us good recommendations for restaurants ( he even walked us there ), places to visit and help us arrange for our trip to Lijiang with a stopover in Shaxi and making sure we enjoyed and arrived safely. We would definitely recommend Dali Yanyuan Mountain Retreat to anyone visiting Dali

Everything was great.

The location was great, close to ropeway as well as eating places. Yi was absolutely fabulous and went out of his way to help us with every detail to make sure we got to see the attractions of Dali at the best price. Toilets were clean, the room was great, lots of space. There is an ambience of calmness in the courtyard with the pool, planting and heritage like architecture. What clearly stood out was the staff and Yi in particular who made our stay an unforgettable one.

Conveniently situated very near the Dali old town, the inn has many amenities nearby, and it is easy for the family to explore the attractions and visit the beautiful Erhai. The inn is well kept and beautifully decorated, equipped with tea and calligraphy corners for their guests. The staff are very nice, approachable and helpful. They recommended good places of interest to visit and nice restaurant for the local crusines. The rooms are very well equipped and comfortable too. My family has enjoyed our 2 night stay and our happy holiday in Dali. We hope to visit again and I will choose this inn again.
