「We had a wonderful stay in Dali and would highly recommend this hotel. One of the best parts was the beautiful scenic lake view and the park located right at our doorstep — it was perfect for sunrise/sunset views, morning walks and evening/night cycling to nearby spots around the area.
The hotel staff were exceptionally warm and helpful throughout our stay. They kindly arranged pick-up and drop-off for us everyday, had 3 really cute dogs that welcomed us home everyday. They also gave very thoughtful recommendations on how we could adjust our travel itinerary based on the expected weather conditions, which really helped us make the most of our trip.
The hotel interior was clean, cosy, and very comfortable. Breakfast was good, and we especially appreciated the quality coffee available each morning. Overall, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.
The only thing to note is that the hotel is located some distance away from the main city area, but transportation within Dali is quite convenient using the DiDi app, so getting around was still easy for us.
我们在大理度过了一段美好的时光,强烈推荐这家酒店。最棒的是酒店门口就有一个美丽的湖景公园,非常适合欣赏日出日落、清晨散步以及傍晚骑车前往周边景点。
酒店员工在我们入住期间都非常热情友好。他们每天都贴心地安排接送服务,还有三只可爱的狗狗每天迎接我们回家。他们还根据天气情况,为我们提供了很多关于如何调整行程的建议,这让我们能够更好地享受旅程。
酒店内部干净、温馨、舒适。早餐也很不错,我们尤其喜欢每天早上提供的优质咖啡。总而言之,这是一次非常轻松愉快的体验。
唯一需要注意的是,酒店距离市中心稍远,但使用滴滴出行在大理市内非常方便,所以出行仍然很轻松。」
