Dali She Yu Inn

She Yu Inn was the first home stay I’ve ever stayed in Dali. It didn’t disappoint me at all. She Yu has a well maintained beautiful garden featuring a pool with golden fish. The pool is well designed wandering through the garden full of local plants and flowers. Depending on the season it offers a variety of colours. As it is early autumn now, hydrangeas and bougainvillea are the dominant colours. There are a dozen of cats with different breeds living on site which are all very friendly and playful. The cats are surprisingly led by the only one corgi whose name is Ji Xiang or lucky or auspicious in English. If you are into Chinese tea culture and calligraphy, you are lucky to spend time in the onsite tea house. The suite I stayed in has traditional wooden handmade furniture which are all very beautiful. The queen size bed is very comfortable and bed linen is clean and fresh. The suite has all the facilities I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable including a big bath tub, clothes dryer and bathroom ceiling heater. Staff and the owner are all very friendly and helpful. I left my stuff behind after checking out. The staff offered free shipping to my current hotel which was so sweet. The location is perfect as it is not far from the South Gate of Dali ancient town but stays away from noisy and busy streets. I can see Cang Shan mountains in my room too. No matter you are travelling solo or with families and friends you will feel like home in She Yu just like me. With all the wonderful memories I continue my journey through Yu Nan. I know I will come back here in the near future. Thanks to all the staff and the owner in She Yu who made my stay so welcoming. All the best and take care until we meet again

Very cosy environment with lots of animals running around. Helped us to carry our luggages during check-in and check-out. We were given a room with the view of cangshan which was very nice. Staffs are very friendly and helpful when you have any questions. Would come back here again when I have the chance to visit Dali in the future.

Very beautiful and comfortable guest inn! There are many cute cats and dogs in the guest inn. Location is also convenient, only a few minutes walk to the Old Town. All the staff members are also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend visitors to consider staying here for a good experience.

We had a great stay here. The hosts are very helpfull. I had issue with my wechat/alipay, he helped me throughtout. The service is exceptional. Location is near to halal food 15min by car and also to ancient town. We had great view from our room and the cats are super cute! Very recommended to stay here.

The people here are very helpful and there is great service here! When we could not order take-out (*******), they helped us and even recommended food :) They are also very hospitable, introducing us on how to make tea and providing free tea for us to sample. There is also free laundry (washing machine + dryer in the room) so it is great for backpackers or those who are travelling for long. One suggestion would be to add lights at the laundry room as it could be very dark at night 😅There is also a very cute dog and many adorable cats here! It does bring a lot of joy to stay here ☺️

This is the best hotel in our long trip to Yunnan. There are so many things I need to praise about this hotel. Fantastic and friendly services! Just stand in front of the hotel, the staffs would help you move your luggages inside. When we was about to check out, they helped us with the luggages too. They recommended where to go and eat, and even helped us rent a car to go around Erhai and visited the ancient towns along the way. The room was clean with a hot water dispenser, clothes dryer and good view to the garden. We were welcomed with fruits and rose biscuits. The garden is extremely beautiful and zen. We could relax and even took a peaceful afternoon nap there. Our child enjoyed playing with the cats and dog. The rooftop has wonderful view of Dali's mountains and Erhai. This is where we love to spend our early morning to admire sunrise. The owner was very friendly, invited us to have tea with him, introduced us about Yunnan, Dali and the specialties and we had a good chat. He even made sure that we had good and full breakfast everyday. Will definitely stay in this hotel again when we return to Dali.
