Disappointing and not worth the price
For the big amount of money we have paid for the stay we are very disappointed. Your hotel is not in good order and no maintenance is done since it was built. The jacuzzi didn’t work, the kids club is dirty and many things are broken. Mini golf not working, air condition in the room not working. No one spoke a word English despite this is supposed to be a 5 star international hotel.

Great experience in beautiful setting.
Beautiful setting overlooking Erhai Lake. Spacious rooms with large balconies. Great gym and indoor pool. The hotel is set on a large campus with a front garden that has space for lounging. The breakfast buffet is extensive with fresh juices, local Chinese specialties and Western items as well. Service is very good as the staff responded quickly to needs.

We booked 5 rooms. The room are nice, staff are helpful and friendly. However, one of our room the tv remote was not working, and there is a day where one of the twin beds not made. One of the room the cleaner did not removed some dirty tissues paper. We need to walk about 10 minutes to find food outside the hotel. However, these are just some minor issues, our overall stay in the hotel is still excellent.

A Fine Hotel
All in aĺl, the 2 nigt stay was very enjoyable. The room is quite large and well appointed. The large hotel has a fine vista of the Dali lake from its elevated position. This hotel was a little bit isolated so one was dependant upon the hotel's facilities. They were however quite good so no complaints. Room service is a bit weak on selection but food good. Breakfast is excellent with a wide selection. The hotel picked us up at the railway station effeciently and at a reasonable price. The free shuttle bus to the delightful old town was relaible. The heated swimming pool and gym was clean, tidy and complete. As I said a fine hotel.

One of the greatest hotel experiences.
One of the greatest hotel experiences. Hilton Dali has great service, beautiful setting, and a fantastic Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was so good that we changed our plans just to eat every meal there. The location is peaceful and quite but is a bit of a drive from the urban center. I don't mind that since the taxi ride is only about $4-5 USD. Both the hotel and the Dali area are highly recommended.

A nice relaxing stay at a quiet resort hotel. Rooms are comfortable and service is good. The breakfast buffet is decent. The restaurants were good although a little expensibe which is to be expected of such restaurant hotels. The main downside is the semi-remote location. It is not convenient to get to shops or restaurants outside the hotel. A shuttle bus is available at regular times to take guests to the ancient tian of Dali and pick them up.

Over and above customer service by staff
Manager and concierge are particularly helpful whenever we contact them for something. Every other staff who works pass us will greet us politely. It really makes us feel welcomed as honoured guests. The hotel has a car service (RMB$30) to head into the city, however, the service is outsourced to individual drivers (with their own car), resulting in drivers being pushy. Our driver wants us to call him directly for pick up from the city and when I refused (and use hotel's hotline to call for pick us instead), it just so happen that the same driver was sent out to us and we received a call from that driver, claiming that his tyres have gone flat and will not come to pick us up. He later organized for another driver to pick us up. Facilities are pretty standard with the pool a bit worn down. The interior of the rooms (twin lake view room) are well polished but the outdoor corridors that lead to our building and rooms are below 5star standard in design, it feels like a cheaper Chinese 5 star version rather than of international standard.

5 star hotel trying for 6 stars!
Very.very nice hotel with outstanding staff that couldn't do enough to help make your stay pleasant. the hotel is new so everything is as you would expect in a Hilton property. The only reason I didn't give them full marks in every category is that there seemed to be no control over temperature and the room was a constant 24-25c even when set at 18-20c. I feel a little unfair not giving full marks as we did not complain to the front desk as I was ill the last 2 days and didn't feel like dealing with the effort to resolve. My overall impression is that if had brought it to their attention they would have relocated us or fixed the issue.

It's Hilton after all.
A nice hotel in terms of customer service. Hilton trained its staff well considering customer service is not highly valued in general in China. Food at restaurant was expensive. The breakfast buffet was not so good. But their Chines restaurant on the second floor was quite good.
