Stayed at Dali Erhai Seaview B&B — absolutely loved the view of Erhai Lake right from the room! Rooms were clean, cozy, and comfortable. Staff were friendly and attentive, making check-in and stay seamless. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy Dali’s lakeside charm.
We had a bit of a disappointing experience at the Jiatu Scenic Hotel. The room listing states ‘lake view’ so we booked that room, however, it turns out that this room does not face the lake and has an internal car par window instead. The listing photos conveniently have the net curtains of the windows drawn so you can’t see this from the inside photos.
The receptionist insisted the Trip.com listing was accurate because the hotel was near the lake and therefore a ‘lake view’. They would not change us to a room with the lake view that we believed we booked, despite having multiple lake-view rooms available and us checking in at 10.30pm. They insisted the only way we could change the room was to cancel our booking (and incur a 50% cancellation fee) and rebook the more expensive ‘sea-view’ room instead. We contacted Trip.com who spoke to the hotel also but they were unwilling to help or move us, despite the room not matching the listing description. Trip themselves were very helpful and offered us some compensation.
In the end we stayed in the room we’d booked with no lake view. The room itself was lovely and spacious, had storage options and was clean and tidy. If we’d booked knowing this didn’t have a lake view then it would have been perfect!
The location is near the station which is great if you’re there for one night, however we were there for 2 nights and had to travel 40 minutes to get to Dali Old Town or the 28 bends ecological corridor, so personally if I were to come to Dali again I would choose a hotel in that location instead. It is worth noting that the hotel is across the road from the lake, so you can see cars and the road even in the lakeside view rooms.
We had an amazing time at Aranya resort. Had to booked this pretty last min cause the previous accommodation cancelled on us 1 week before the trip. The accommodation is located higher than ground level - which is only accessible by car. But you get a clear view of erhai lake. Room was big and spacious, with basic necessity included. Only drawback is no shelter from the time you alight the car to the room, and weather was erratic during our time there, hence there were times we got drenched.
Our room included an afternoon tea set, but we had to remind the staff to provide it. So if your room includes perks, just politely ask and they will happily cater to you.
Overall, the stay was very comfortable and by far the best hotel accommodation I’ve stayed in. The pillows were great, the bathroom was clean and new, and they even offered beer in the fridge. We didn’t drink it due to the high altitude, but it was a nice touch.”
아침일찍 다리역으로 가야해서 근처에 제일 싼 방을 찾아서 잤다
장점
1. 역에서 걸어서 10분 안 걸린다
2. 싸다
단점
1. 화장실에서 냄새가 나서 좀 힘들다
2. 화장실에 전등이 없다
결론은 역에서 잠시 잠만 싸게 자고 싶으면 추천
방에서 좀 휴식을 취할 사람들에겐 비추
