Hostels in Shandong, China

The merchant's hotel has convenient transportation! The Line 8 subway is also very close, just a five-minute walk away! The accommodation environment is also very good! It's very convenient to get on and off the train at Dajian Station! There are also local buses🚌

This was an absolutely amazing stay! First off, the hygiene was impeccable; the beds were clean and soft, and the privacy curtains really ensured personal space. It was also very quiet at night. Secondly, the location is superb with convenient transportation and plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. The best part was how warm and welcoming the owner and staff were, offering lots of practical tips to avoid tourist traps. To stay in such a cozy and stylish hostel for just a few bucks is truly incredible value for money. I’ll definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

Located inside a housing compound. GPS navigation brought me to the door, which was fortunate as it would be hard to find otherwise. They could do with a sign in English – meanwhile, look out for the Chinese characters 观海. It looks like you're arriving at the back door of a ground floor apartment. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, using a translation app where necessary. The atmosphere is cheerfully scruffy and youthful, with hundreds of visitors' signature all over the walls. Facilities are basic – the showers are over squat toilets (plenty of water though), and there are no drinking water refill machine (buy plastic for 1 yuan at the reception). The lobby area is tiny – they actually advertise the sofa bed in the lobby as a single-occupancy. Not a great idea – don't confuse it with a tiny single room as I did. They upgraded me to a dorm room. The mattress is not soft. The location is good for a visit to May 4th Square and the seafront. Overall, it was okay to doss here one night, but I found Kaiyue Hostel much better value.

This is my second time staying in a hostel, and I absolutely loved this one – it's full of thoughtful details. The environment is clean and hygienic, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great. Everyone was really friendly too; we even grouped up to watch the sunrise. Even though I only slept for three hours, I slept incredibly well. I found the mattress super comfortable, even more comfortable than my own dorm bed! They provide earplugs, laundry pods, and slippers. In the bathroom, there's disinfectant and disposable toilet seat covers. You definitely have to check out the common areas to truly experience the vibe. It's a shame I only booked one night and there weren't any events during my stay. I hope there are activities next time!

The environment is clean and the boss cleans every day. The roommates are friendly and the life is convenient. I will come again next time.

I’m not gonna lie this was the best hostel I’ve been to in China and I’m travelling for more than a month. The owner is absolutely amazing, helpful, kind and happy. Also the other roommates at that time was so friendly and nice I had such a great time, it really make me feel like it was a small family 🥹 If I’m going back to Qufu one day, you can be sure I’m gonna booked this hostel again and for a longer time.

The owner is super nice; it was really interesting chatting with him and learning a lot about hostel culture, which he really values. 👍🏻 The common area downstairs has a great atmosphere and you often meet people from all over the world. The location is also fantastic, very close to Hanlefang and Weihai Station. There's a lively sports park just a short walk away. And the cat 'manager' is very well-behaved!

The most perfect stay: calm environment, everything was clean. Very kind English-speaking owner was present all the time. Complete amenities, near a bus stop and Line 3 metro. Just the wifi could be a bit stronger...

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and the environment was really great. Plus, it was only for girls, which made it feel safer – that was one of the main reasons I chose this hostel. The bed was also very comfortable and soft; the owner and the hostel staff were incredibly kind, and their pick-up service from the station was excellent, helping with my luggage. Truly good hotels don't need much advertising or positive reviews; we students will naturally promote them, haha. The hostel also had lots of little stickers for leaving messages, which was really thoughtful. I left one too, hoping the owner's business thrives, and that I'll recommend it to my friends next time they visit Qingdao, hehe. For those of you traveling in Qingdao and still undecided about which hostel to stay in, don't hesitate, book now! As a university student, I prioritize honest reviews.

This hostel opened this year, and when I visited during the off-season, there were hardly any people. The hostel is huge, with a large common area and each room is also very spacious. It even has a washer-dryer combo. The owner is incredibly nice, but his photography skills are a bit poor. To be honest, seeing the pictures he took didn't even make me want to come, but once I arrived, I found the environment to be exceptionally nice. There's also a large balcony outside the common area, and every morning when I wake up, the sun shines through the windows, making it super warm. I stayed in a four-person room, and the lockers had clothes hangers. It's definitely worth staying in. It's super close to Hanlefang (a food delivery platform), making ordering takeout incredibly convenient.
