Anonymous UserWhile visiting Qingdao, I decided to spend a day in Jinan and chose the Shangri-La. Before checking in, I called to confirm that my room was ready. The lobby is impressive, and the room was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped. The toiletries were excellent, and I particularly liked the eco-friendly bamboo toothbrushes and combs. The hotel is conveniently located opposite Quancheng Square, perfect for an evening stroll to watch the musical fountain. Baotu Spring is also within walking distance. There are plenty of malls nearby, and both takeout and dining options are easily accessible. The old city, however, is genuinely congested; it took almost 40 minutes to get to Jinan Station by taxi, and I barely made my train. The hotel also seems to offer intangible cultural heritage activities, but I didn't have time to participate. I would definitely choose this hotel again for a more leisurely trip to Jinan.

At Atour, I found an undisturbed peace. No harsh lights, no loud noises, just a simple yet warm space. The moment I stepped in, the outside world's hustle and bustle felt blocked by an invisible door, leaving only gentle lighting and a subtle tea aroma. It's not ostentatious, yet it softly embraces your weariness, offering a corner to breathe and heal amidst your busy days. Delicious breakfast 😋 Excellent service

Anonymous UserThis stay exceeded my expectations! From check-in, the front desk staff, ZOEY, was warm and efficient, and even proactively introduced the hotel facilities and local dining options. The whole process was seamless. I paid to upgrade to a sea-view room, and it was a true oceanfront room. Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows revealed the entire sea, with an unbeatable panoramic view. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the soundproofing was excellent. I slept soundly until morning, lulled by the sound of the waves, and all my travel fatigue simply melted away. The facilities were well-maintained, the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the toiletries were of high quality; attention to detail was evident everywhere. The buffet breakfast offered a rich variety, and the freshly cooked local specialty noodles tasted authentic, plus the freshly squeezed juices were delicious. The hotel's location is superb, just a few minutes' walk to the beach. Strolling along the coast in the evening, enjoying the sea breeze, was incredibly relaxing. The heated pool and gym facilities were also comprehensive, making for a truly immersive vacation experience. Five-star rating, I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

Guest UserThe hotel boasts a grand architectural design and numerous rooms, reflecting the style of an established star-rated hotel. Upon entering the room, there was a noticeable musty smell. However, the mattress was very thick and incredibly comfortable to sleep on. We ran out of tissues in the room, but the housekeeper promptly brought some when we requested them. There were no disposable bath liners for the bathtub, and they weren't available for purchase, which is an area where service could definitely be improved.
Given its large scale, the hotel could consider offering childcare services similar to Club Med. A kids' play area with soft play structures, slides, and a ball pit would be a great addition, allowing parents to relax. There was no buffet available. With such a large property, inter-departmental communication seems to be an issue. The information provided by the housekeeper for the 1928 Beer Bar's dining options was incorrect.
After checking out, the housekeeper asked for a good review. I provided some suggestions, but the housekeeper, 'Dabaitu' (Big White Rabbit), never replied. It feels like the service in northern China is often a 'do-it-because-my-boss-told-me-to' mentality, and any extra requests from guests are seen as an inconvenience.
I really liked the breakfast buffet where many of the attendants were older, creating a very harmonious atmosphere, like being cared for by parents while away from home. The breakfast selection was extensive. There are two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor. Cat petting costs 19.9 for children and 29.9 for adults, with single entry and unlimited time. Feeding animals costs 10 yuan, which includes one portion of feed. **However, if you write a good review for 1 yuan, you get fewer carrots than the 10 yuan portion. The animals seemed a bit pathetic, with the little horse constantly kicking the wire fence.** There are two swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor.
The buffet at the 1928 Beer Bar is more Western-style. Many people might not be used to it. We tried it, and the quality of the desserts was excellent!
There's a beach right behind the hotel, with some rocks, but not too many. You can go tide pooling in the early morning and at night. It's too hot during the day due to strong sun, and there isn't much seafood to find then either.
The package included access to the Haiquanwan Hot Springs, but I must mention: it was dirty. There were no tissues or disposable combs in the hair-drying area (only a few scattered combs for everyone to share). With this level of service, I won't be returning.
The hotel's location is indeed a bit remote, making it suitable for self-driving. There's a Shandong University cafeteria and museum nearby, which I'd give five stars!

I was surprised to find the hotel right outside the subway exit, with MixC (shopping mall) across the street. Getting to all the attractions is a breeze with the subway, which is super convenient for those who don't want to plan much. We booked a suite with a living room and even had a sea view, though the exterior windows were quite dirty, making it a bit hard to take good photos. The pool was practically ours, with hardly anyone else around. The breakfast restaurant was huge and had high ceilings, offering everything you'd expect. A big thanks to Nicky at the front desk for providing a complimentary breakfast for our child. The only downside was the shower water pressure, which was a bit lacking.

Guest UserThis newly opened Hampton by Hilton boasts a very convenient location, close to the subway station with an abundance of dining options nearby. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and convenience stores are all easily accessible, along with many other restaurants of varying sizes. The old Qingdao specialty restaurant next door serves particularly delicious food. The room was very clean, the bedding was neat, and the facilities were brand new. The front desk staff, Yulia, was friendly and promptly addressed any requests. The breakfast offered a good variety of dishes, catering to both Western and Chinese tastes, and the freshly cooked noodles were very popular. Staying here made our trip very hassle-free.

Guest UserOur family trip to Jinan led us to stay at the No. 8 Courtyard B&B, and it truly exceeded our expectations! We booked a standard twin room, which was incredibly spacious and comfortable for sleeping. The bathroom had a wet and dry separation, and even featured a large bathtub – perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of sightseeing. The room also came with a desk, which was convenient for catching up on a bit of work. The overall decor is a new Chinese style, and the common areas are beautifully antique. You can even try on Hanfu for photos! The location is central, very close to all the attractions, and there's free underground parking as well as luggage storage. The room was spotlessly clean, and the front desk service was exceptionally warm and attentive. For a family trip, staying here makes dining, accommodation, and getting around completely hassle-free. I genuinely recommend it for anyone visiting Jinan!

For the first few days of my stay in Qingdao, I booked the compact single room. This time, for two days, I tried the double-bed room with a table and a large window, and it is really excellent for the price.
The room is extremely clean and has all the basic amenities such as a shower, dental kit, and towels. One small difference is that instead of traditional cloth towels, they provide disposable paper-fiber towels. The room is also much more spacious than the single room, even though the price increase is very small. I paid about 55 RMB for the smaller room, while this room cost around 63–64 RMB, but the size is almost double.
The room has a very large window facing the road in front of the hotel. I expected it to be noisy, but surprisingly it was not. There are many power outlets and switchboards, which makes it convenient for charging phones or laptops. The room also has a large TV, along with a table and chair where you can comfortably sit and work.
The staff, as I mentioned earlier, are extremely friendly. By the end of my stay, they almost felt like friends. If you order food or buy items from e-commerce platforms like Jingdong or Taobao, the staff will collect the packages and store them safely on the first floor. Sometimes the delivery person will even bring the order directly to your room.
I stayed on the fourth floor, and the room was very well maintained and spotless. It also includes a hairdryer and hangers. The room I booked had two beds, so if you are traveling with a colleague for business, this is a great option.
The location is not extremely central, but it is still convenient. The nearest subway station is about a 10–15 minute walk, which was not a problem for me. There are also several convenience stores nearby where you can quickly buy snacks or basic items.
Overall, the room is very well maintained, extremely clean, and free of dust. If you are visiting this part of the city, this hotel is definitely a good option to consider.

我在青岛住宿的前几天订的是紧凑型单人房。这一次我住了两天,订的是带桌子的双床房,并且有一个很大的窗户。以这个价格来说,这个房间真的非常不错。
房间非常干净,而且配备了基本的设施,比如淋浴、牙具和毛巾。需要说明的一点是,他们提供的不是传统的布毛巾,而是一次性的纸纤维毛巾。相比之前的小单人房,这个房间的空间要大得多,而价格只稍微贵一点。之前的小房间大约是55元人民币,而这个房间大约是63到64元人民币,但房间的面积几乎是之前的两倍。
房间有一个很大的窗户,面向酒店前面的马路。我原本以为会比较吵,但实际上并没有想象中那么吵。房间里有很多插座和开关,给手机或笔记本电脑充电都很方便。房间里还有一台很大的电视,以及一张桌子和椅子,可以坐下来工作。
正如我之前提到的,酒店的工作人员非常友好。到我离开的时候,我们几乎已经像朋友一样。如果你点外卖或者从京东、淘宝等电商平台购买东西,工作人员会帮你收包裹,并把它们安全地放在一楼。有时候外卖员也会直接把东西送到你的房间。
我住在四楼,房间维护得很好,非常干净,没有灰尘。房间里还配有吹风机和衣架。我订的这个房间是双床房,如果是两个人出差一起住,这是一个非常不错的选择。
酒店的位置不算特别中心,但也算方便。最近的地铁站大约需要步行10到15分钟,对我来说完全不是问题。附近也有一些便利店,可以很方便地买一些吃的或日常用品。
总体来说,这个房间维护得很好,非常干净。如果你来到这个城市的这个区域,这家酒店是一个非常值得考虑的选择。
