Z Garden was perfect for our stay in Dali. The rooms are huge and very comfortable with massive windows and lovely bathrooms. The location is great, very near the old town, restaurants and coffee shops but down a side street away from the craziness. And the staff are so so helpful, they will help you with whatever you need and will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. And a delicious free breakfast 10/10.

Friendly and Hospitable Hosts: The highlight of my stay was definitely the hosts, who were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They were patient, sincere, and always willing to answer any questions I had. As locals with deep knowledge of the area, they offered professional and thoughtful suggestions, from sightseeing to local cuisine, which made my trip even more enjoyable and seamless. This was truly the most pleasant solo trip I've ever had. The hotel provides not only a comfortable place to stay but also a warm, home-like atmosphere that gives a strong sense of belonging. I will definitely come back and visit again! Highly recommended for solo travelers, and it would be great for families or friends too! Excellent Location: The hotel is very close to the ancient town, within walking distance of many attractions, and the area is quiet and convenient. It's also very easy to get around with carhailing apps, making transportation a breeze—ideal for travelers who enjoy exploring freely. Well-Equipped and Cozy Amenities: The hotel has a wonderfully warm and modern decor that truly feels like home. The room is fully equipped with everything you might need, from comfortable bedding to a functional kitchen and spotless bathroom, making it a very convenient place to stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches that make a solo traveler feel well taken care of.

It’s an amazing apartment, clean and well-equipped with great view in a quiet but convenient location. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great during our stay but the cozy tea room made it so much better!

The staff was really nice and and the room very clean. It’s a hotel run by a family. We got the chance to experience the typical Dali breakfast (and it was homemade!). They were all very helpful and caring. 谢谢你们☺️

Had a wonderful stay at this cute inn. I happened to get a free room upgrade since it was low season. The place is really well decorated, super clean, and offers a fantastic view of Erhai -- perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff was also super friendly, offering helpful tips and were easy to chat with. Breakfast was yummy (noodles, fresh local fruit, Yunnan coffee, and more). I will stay here again when I visit Dali next time and definitely recommend it to others.

It was perfect. I'm usually skeptical when there's a place with a 10/10 rating, but this one definitely deserved it! Not only is the room itself spacious, clean and beautiful, it has a really good view through the surrounding windows (don't worry, there are blinds everywhere if you want to close it off) Situated next to the old town is a blessing as it's too touristy there, but close enough to walk in it, if you want to. The hostess is fantastic! She is just a very nice, open and communicative person who makes the stay more than pleasant. Not only did she offer homemade food to try, but added us on WeChat to give us tips throughout the day. Simply a great place to stay, you won't regret it!
