Qingdao Hostels

The view from the window is absolutely stunning, like a painting – seriously, you *have* to get a sea-view room on the third floor! The room decor has a lovely French-inspired touch, very beautiful. The bathroom was spotless and well-stocked with a generous supply of disposable toiletries, which were replenished daily. The location is a hidden gem – quiet but close to the action. Right outside, there's a restaurant that's been featured by a celebrity, Ma Jiaqi, and the surrounding area is full of charming old villas, drawing lots of influencers looking for the perfect photo op. Just a heads-up, it's on a one-way uphill road, so traffic can be a bit of a nightmare. If you're heading out, it's best to call a taxi in advance, or it's just about a ten-minute walk to the nearest subway and bus stations.

The hotel has complete facilities, convenient parking, and clean and tidy rooms, making people feel at home. The stay is very comfortable. The proprietress is very enthusiastic and highly recommended.

I had a flight with an overnight layover in Qingdao, so I opted to stay locally in a hotel. 'Locally' meant riding two stops on the subway, and catching the bus for two stops which altogether cost me less than £1. Probably about $1 US, or €1. However, I had to wait a while for the bus, so it took me about an hour. Upon arrival, the landlord treated me like a king and was exceptionally helpful. I can speak Chinese, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless people can speak a little Chinese and can read basic sentences. The hotel is fairly basic but, as I said, the proprietors are extremely accommodating and told me to ask if I needed anything. The landlord showed me where to eat locally (and physically took me there!) and when I left, he showed me where the nearest bus stop is (photo). I couldn't make the hot water work for a shower, but had I asked I'm sure they would have sorted it. I was in a bit of a rush in the morning and I didn't want to make a fuss. The bed was hard (like I Chinese prefer) but I slept well. There was no kettle in the room, but boiling water was provided. The area is out in the country, so if you want to see how ordinary Chinese live, this is a good opportunity. City hotels are quite westernised but this place is authentic Chinese. Pictures are of the bus stop and the subway station. Although I was told that a taxi might only cost me a little over a pound.

The owner is really kind and nice. It is great value for money in every aspect. I intend to visit again! Thank you.

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.

The room was immaculately clean, with daily sweeping and mopping. It had a light fragrance. It's very close to Golden Beach, a 20-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop just a few minutes' walk away for trips to Yinshatan and Yumingzui Village. The neighborhood is quiet and uncrowded. The owner was very welcoming. 👍 The price didn't increase much during the holidays, which was a great bonus. 👍

The front desk was upgraded for free. The triple room was small, but the price was affordable. It was not unacceptable. It only took 20 minutes to walk from Qingdao North Railway Station and 20 minutes to walk from Qingdao North Railway Station's famous car overpass. The overall traffic location is good, the living experience is in line with the price
