Hotels With Gym in Shandong, China

Traveling from Shanghai during the Dragon Boat Festival, I booked a stay at Shangri-La Jinan through Ctrip. The hotel is centrally located, making it incredibly convenient to visit all the major attractions. The front desk staff, particularly Louise Zhao, provided attentive and thorough service, patiently explaining local sights to visit. Plus, there's a 10% discount at the lobby bar when booking through Ctrip. Even though it was a holiday with high occupancy and a busy flow of guests, the overall service was thoughtful, making for a truly perfect stay!

This was my first time staying at an Atour Light hotel. The style is really interesting, with a predominantly blue theme, making it feel more geared towards a younger crowd. The room size was pretty standard, not particularly large, but the cleanliness and service were excellent in every aspect. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and quickly helped with any requests we had. However, the biggest issue with the room was the poor soundproofing. You could clearly hear people laughing or talking loudly in nearby rooms. This is definitely something that could use improvement.

The location is great, and the service is decent; the butler was very responsive. Stepping out of the backyard leads right to a huge beach, which is perfect for kids. The indoor swimming pool is clean and not crowded, with a dedicated splash area for toddlers, which is really excellent. There's also a large outdoor pool in the backyard that's very nice. All in all, the kids loved it and had a blast. My wife, on the other hand, felt the hotel was a bit dated and wasn't too fond of it, finding parts of it a bit unclean. However, it's really just the wear and tear of time, as the hotel has been open for 15 years, so it's bound to show its age. Overall, I still think it's a very good place, and I might even go back in the future.

The Westin Qingdao has an excellent location, very close to May Fourth Square and the commercial district, making it super convenient for getting around, sightseeing, shopping, and finding places to eat. Staying on the Executive Floor offered outstanding views; I could take in the stunning sea views right from my window. The Executive Lounge experience was superb, with a wide variety of food. The staff were attentive and responsive, providing meticulous service throughout my stay. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay, perfect for a trip to Qingdao.

Excellent value for money! The hot water was consistent and the Wi-Fi was fast. The lobby was clean and simply designed. The smart toilet, a Geberit, was as comfortable as the one at home. The mattress and bedding were top-notch! Definitely recommend. Yulia provided thoughtful and attentive service. A very satisfying experience, I'll recommend it to friends and family visiting Qingdao.

It was great to stay in this hotel in Weihai for three nights. The location is very good, just opposite the Weihai Campus of Shandong University. You can reach the No. 1 Beach and Torch 8th Street by crossing the campus. The most satisfying thing is the food and beverage in this hotel. The breakfast is super rich and delicious. By the way, the hotel also offers a set meal of sea intestines and rice. The price is acceptable and it is also very delicious. If I have the chance to go to Weihai, I will stay in this hotel again. When I left the hotel, I was given a gift bag of snacks that my children love to eat. It was full of sincerity.

This was my first stay at the Mövenpick by Accor, and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The room's cleanliness was impeccable, with every detail meticulously looked after, and all the in-room amenities were complete and in excellent condition. The hotel's overall atmosphere was elegant and quiet, with no sense of noise or disturbance. The staff member, Annie, was very friendly and provided thoughtful and attentive service. The location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient to get to all the major attractions, which made sightseeing stress-free. The price was affordable and great value for money. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Qingdao.

Hardware: The room facilities meet five-star standards, with two sinks for guests to have their own independent space. Hygiene: The room is relatively clean. The only downside is that after running water in the bathtub, there was a musty smell coming from underneath it. Service: The front desk staff were all very understanding and considerate. They helped us extend our stay, recognizing that the elderly traveler was tired from their journey. Transportation: If you're catching a flight the next day, this hotel is perfectly suited. There's a direct通道 connecting to the airport right next to the breakfast area, and it's about a ten-minute walk.

The best place for a calm vacation on a beach for a affordable price. This was a nice little hotel standing right in front of a beach. The placement can be seen as perfect as this large beach is wonderful itself and much better then the beaches at the city center. The only inconvenience to consider when choosing this or nearby hotels is lack of cafes and restorans nearby, so you'd better take breakfasts in the hotel, they were not bad, tasty and very filing, with serveral options to choose from. For other places to eat, except for a two nearby costly restorans, you'll have to wark to find one about 1-1,5 km or more. If you want to spend more time in the city center consider also the time to travel to it, about 1,5 hours on a bus, 30-50 minutes on taxi. The service was decent, even though stuff does not speak english they were very welcome and supportive, helping me and calling taxi a couple of times when I needed it. The hotel itself is clean. The room was cleaned daily, not perfectly as the floors in the room stayed a bit dusty all the time but that was not too much of an issue. The bedding was always clean, towels were clean as well and changed daily. I have to say a few words about the beach and the see themselves. The beach is large and clean, there are trash bins which are cleaned daily. It have a sand of very good quality, indeed of a golden color. The beach longs for several kilometers and is from about 150 meters wide to 200+ meters wide depending on the tides. The beach is shallow but no too much, you can easily walk to a place where you can swim freely. It was August and the water was extremely warm and cozy. It was clean with little human made trash coming from the see, but due to temperature the water near the shore start blooming on a second or third day of my stay there. I had to walk 10-15 meters in a 50-80 centimeters deep water full of seaweed before I come to clear waters. I bit unpleasant but not a big deal. There were some jelly fish coming the shore, the see doesn't have dangerous ones though. The beach has some infrastructure, at least there is a place to wash your hands and legs and there are public toilets nearby the beach, but there are no safeguards on it. With an chinese specifics I would say that's a plus as they are too restrictive and protective here.

My stay at the Orange Crystal Hotel (Qingdao May Fourth Square) far exceeded my expectations! The hotel clearly puts a lot of effort into its brand culture; there's a story about the brand's origins on the bedside table, and reading it truly gives you a sense of their original vision, creating a wonderful ambiance. Early in my stay, there was a strange noise in my room. After contacting the front desk, they handled it incredibly efficiently, without much back-and-forth. They immediately arranged a room change, and the new room type was perfect. The soundproofing in the new room was excellent; it was quiet all night, and I couldn't hear any guests in the adjacent rooms, which made for a very restful sleep. I especially want to commend the self-service laundry room. It's managed by dedicated staff and fully equipped with disinfectant and antibacterial laundry detergent. I missed the pick-up time for my laundry, and the staff thoughtfully folded my clothes neatly and placed them in a special laundry bag. Such attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Throughout my stay, the service was exceptionally warm. Every staff member I encountered on the way would proactively greet guests politely and appropriately. It wasn't just standardized service; they truly went the extra mile with their thoughtful touches. The location is excellent, making travel convenient. For those who value details and service quality, this hotel is definitely worth choosing!
