Dali Blue Mountain Hotel (Dali Ancient City South Gate)

Owner was very helpful in arranging transport for us. The location is about a 5 min walk to the old town. Clean and new hotel. Just outside the hotel, there are street hawkers at night. And a food stall that opens very early in the morning that sells great local food.

This hotel is a true gem! Here’s why we loved our stay: Location 🗺️ Just a short walk from the old town! It’s conveniently close to all the action yet tucked away in a quiet, accessible alley—perfect for a peaceful night’s rest. Accessibility & other amenities 💖 They have a lift, which is rare for hotels in traditional buildings around here. So convenient, especially with luggage. There was also self service laundry on site, which is useful for those taking a long trip! Incredible Staff 💼 From the receptionist to the rest of the team, everyone was exceptionally welcoming! They shared local food suggestions and even helped us with our bags to the main street on our last day. Rooftop Sunrise Views 🌄 The view from the rooftop was absolutely breathtaking! With Mt. Cangshan on one side and Erhai Lake on the other, it’s like experiencing the famous 龙龛码头 view but without the crowds. Clean Room 🛏️ Spotless and comfy—our room made us feel right at home. Train Station Pickup 🚗 Our driver was super friendly, and the staff reached out days before our arrival to confirm all the details. Such a smooth start to our trip! Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for convenience, comfort, and an unforgettable view!

Location was great! It’s in the heart of the ancient town area. Nearby to attractions with a lot of good food. Alot of Bike rentals nearby too.
