Dali Xiadu Seaview B&B

I chose this place for its proximity to Lake Erhai. It's truly very close - just 5min walk from the side door. Perfect to catch sunrise. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave us many suggestions for dinner and nearby sights. While its location is near Lake Erhai, it's not so easily accessible for cars. But the staff are proactive in contacting us to arrange for a meeting point to help with the luggage and direct us to the minsu. Our check out time was before their operating hours and they still came to help with our luggage.

Very close to 洱海 and easy to go to 大理古城 the neighborhood where is located 才村 is super cozy, with a lot of good coffee places and delicious 饵块. I must recommend to pick a room with look to the lake is very worth it ( sadly we didn’t pick that one). The only weakness is the location is a bit tricky to go in with luggage the streets are not paved which is part of the charm of the place but when u carry luggage is not that good but I don’t blame the stay for this generally is all very good, the staff super kind and the generally stay very very cozy.

Great location and staff. terrible facilities. everything seems broken and temporary - lights are still covered by plastic bags from factory, even though it’s a newly opened place. the room next to us is waiting for construction, the whole floor was chaotic and dirty… such a disappointment.
