I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by my stay at The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel. Located right by Xinghai Bay, the castle architecture is extremely photogenic, and it looks even more magical when illuminated at night. The room offered a fantastic view—just parting the curtains revealed the sea—and the bed was very comfortable. As for the service, Dansey was attentive, and the staff were both warm and meticulous, responding to any requests very promptly. The breakfast offered a wide selection and tasted great. Whether you are visiting Dalian for a vacation or just stopping by for a short stay, this place is a great choice. The overall experience was top-notch, and I would definitely consider staying here again.
One more thing: the travel photography service is also quite good!

An absolutely wonderful stay! I was pressed for time and didn't have a chance to do much research, but after seeing great reviews on RED (Xiaohongshu) and Doubao, I went ahead and booked it on short notice. To my surprise, the experience far exceeded my expectations:
1. Facilities & Location: Everything was fantastic—from the room decor and hotel location to the quality of the buffet.
2. Unexpected Perk: At 88 stories high, the hotel is the tallest building in Shenyang. Overlooking the entire city from the top floor was incredible; everything below looked like miniature toys. Such incredible value for money!
3. Service Experience: Since it was a last-minute booking, I called the front desk beforehand with a ton of questions about the location, proximity to the Mukden Palace and the Marshal Zhang's Mansion, as well as room types. The staff answered each question with great detail and patience, which saved me a lot of trip-planning time. I even made a point to ask for their names—their warm hospitality truly reflected the hotel's heart. Huge thumbs up! Kudos to the front desk team: HELEN, TILDA, and VERA.

I can say it was incredibly comfortable. I'd heard about Atour's comfy bedding for a while, and finally got to try it out this time 👀. The mattress and pillows are really good. There are two types of pillows, and I prefer the flatter one. I even saw them for sale in the lobby for several hundred yuan each – when I move, I definitely need to get one for home 😂. There's plenty of space for one person, and the shower and toilet are separate and clean. The curtains are also very blackout. Staying at Atour after traveling through Mongolia was truly a comfortable experience!

hidinginplainsightWe had to scramble to Jinzhou due to medical emergency from overseas. We happened to book this hotel in a great hurry and it was truly the only thing that helped us preserve our sanity at a very fraught time.
It was also our first time using trip.com as I could not find much options in Jinzhou on ***********, my long time app of choice. I was worried about how things would turn out since I didn't know if I could trust trip.com or fully research my options as we had to rush to pack as well. As it turned out, I'm 100% sure that no other hotel in 4th tier Jinzhou city could have given us the experience, comfort and ambience that Manxin Hotel did. I don't say that lightly as a seasoned international traveller who's stayed at many types of hotels/guesthouses/motels over the years, it takes *a lot* to impress us enough to earn my praise and endorsement in a review.
Manxin Hotel felt like a small boutique hotel feel with 3 floors of rooms. It was only opened in Jan 2024, so it really feels nice and new with a high ceiling foyer /lounge area. The rooms are huge with huge floor to ceiling windows. Although it's next to a train station, the triple glazed windows amazingly cut out most of the noise. The beds were very comfortable, with great toiletries, great Laifun hairdryer and free drinks replenished daily. Even the tea bags they provided were of great quality. We stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks so we were very happy to be able to use the complimentary washing machine service which saved me the hassle of having to hand wash my clothes daily in my room! There were some drainage issues in the shower but the hotel staff did try to sort out the problem. There's also a spacious gym available for those who are fitness fanatics. The hotel breakfast had great variety with quality coffee (not easy to find good coffee in China).
They even had a singer in the foyer 3 nights a week. Though I usually love listening to live music, the singers were students who were not quite able to deliver a performance befitting the old world charm and ambience of the hotel foyer.
Any hotel can have the best of facilities but often fall short on the service front. Since we were staying there for 2 weeks, we often had to deal with the hotel staff on a daily basis. We found them to be very competent, sincere, friendly, understanding and helpful for the most part, willing to do all that they could to assist us during our time of considerable distress and strain due to our family emergency. Even the housekeeping staff and the lady clearing plates in the breakfast area were warm and helpful!
As foreigners , we would sometimes need help with paperwork, scanning, photocopying, and other assistantance communicating with the outside world to make arrangements for international medical evacuation, WeChat/Alipay tutorials etc. We will always be grateful to the staff for all their efforts to assist in our time of need. In particular, we would like to thank Sales manager XY Yang and duty manager Hong for their tireless assistance and consideration.
If we were to go to Jinzhou again, Manxin hotel would absolutely be our only choice.

Posted onOct 21, 2026|Zhong Jie AI Deep Sleep Double Bed Room (Full Herbal Foot Soak + Smart Control)
Guest UserMy recent stay at the Northeast Asia Hotel exceeded my expectations overall. The location is fantastic, making it very convenient to step out and find local food. The room was spotlessly clean with no strange odors, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I had a wonderfully quiet and restful sleep. The in-room facilities are well-maintained, the hot water comes out fast, and the Wi-Fi is stable. The front desk staff were polite and friendly, check-in and check-out were handled very efficiently, and any requests were met with a prompt response. The public areas are clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Whether you are visiting Shenyang for leisure or on a short business trip, this is an excellent choice.

Winnie_ouDuring our 5-day, 4-night trip to Dalian, we chose the Hengli Hotel in Donggang for two nights. First, because of its height, which offers a more expansive view. Second, it's located right across from the entrance of the Venice Water City, very close to the popular internet-famous photo spot Gangdong 5th Street, and trendy restaurants like Well Well and Xiding. Getting a taxi to places like Laohuwan, Lingjiaowan, and Fishermen's Wharf is super convenient. Ride-hailing in Dalian is extremely cheap—getting from one side of the city to the other rarely costs more than 30 yuan, with most rides around 10 yuan. Pure happiness! 😊
The hotel front desk is on the 66th floor, along with the restaurant and gym, so you can imagine the incredible views. The elevators are fast and smooth. During check-in, my husband ran over to the floor-to-ceiling window like a kid and stood there looking out for a long time. The vast, azure ocean view truly took my breath away as well. 🥰
We booked the Grand Ocean View King Room on the 63rd floor. Pushing open the door, you find a huge living space, sort of like a serviced apartment, equipped with a large refrigerator and an induction cooktop. Walking into the bedroom, you're greeted by endless blue again—even the shower in the bathroom has an ocean view, which is just fantastic. Right down below your feet is the entire Venice Water City. Although the hardware isn't the most advanced or smart, it didn't affect our stay much.
The service was excellent and very prompt. We casually mentioned it was our anniversary, and they arranged a pair of towel swans on the bed. It really set the mood and was a lovely surprise.
Waking up to the morning light over the sea, with the blue sky and ocean unfolding before your eyes, and boats slowly cruising across the water—this is the romance that belongs exclusively to Dalian.

ShanfengLThe hotel's location is a bit off the beaten path, and transportation isn't very convenient. However, the surrounding environment is absolutely beautiful. The indoor hot spring has a strong water flow, and the water heats up quickly. Soaking in the outdoor hot spring under a sky full of stars is incredibly relaxing.
Initially, we planned this trip during the off-peak season to see the maple leaves. Unfortunately, it was still a bit early, and the maple leaves at Guanmenshan and the surrounding areas were just starting to turn slightly red. But the hotel's own maple trees were surprisingly vibrant and breathtakingly beautiful. Honestly, there's no need to go anywhere else; staying at the hotel is the best choice.
We traveled as a family of three, and they provided a complimentary breakfast, saving us the hassle of finding food.
My only minor complaints are that the mattress was too soft, sinking significantly when sat on, and the breakfast selection wasn't extensive and was overpriced.
Overall, I'm satisfied and would recommend it to friends.

XiaopangpangyimeiThe consistent quality of InterContinental truly shines through at this property. Located in the heart of Donggang, with Zhongshan Square just a stone's throw away, the views from the window – a combination of city architecture and the bay – are truly unique. Getting around is incredibly convenient, whether by taxi, subway, or on foot.
Riley's service shows a great attention to detail; even in seemingly minor things, you can feel the thoughtfulness. They called ahead to ask about my arrival time, confirmed the number of toiletries and slippers needed, and inquired about my preference for a higher or lower floor... The overall quietness of the hotel is excellent. Even during the National Day holiday when the hotel was fully booked and bustling with guests, I couldn't hear any noise in my room, ensuring a high quality of rest. The bathroom was also super spacious, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. During my stay, I also tried the seafood buffet on the sixth floor of the hotel, which was fantastic.
If I ever have the chance to visit Dalian again, I'll definitely come back for a second stay.

Guest UserThe room was clean and spacious. The only downside was that the hotel assigned us a room right next to the elevator, which was incredibly noisy. I hope the hotel can avoid assigning rooms near elevators in the future. The service was good, and the front desk staff were very friendly. I'd probably stay here again next time.

Guest UserThe hotel boasts a unique and excellent location, enjoying its own private bay. During low tide, you can go clam digging, and at high tide, it's perfect for swimming. The hotel also offers various board games and recreational facilities, a self-service kitchen, a restaurant, and a laundry room, so you don't need to leave to enjoy your day. Just 100 meters away is a bustling public bay with cafes, Western restaurants, and grilled fish – very convenient. A 2-kilometer drive will take you to Fisherman's Wharf, offering a variety of delicious food and entertainment.
Built into the hillside, the hotel has many stairs. The interior design is very good, offering many picturesque spots, though it might not be ideal for elderly guests. It's more suited for a romantic getaway for younger couples.
The concierge service was very attentive, proactively contacting us to resolve various issues.
I must commend the laundry room; the dryer function was incredibly helpful for a beach vacation.
However, the hotel seems to be a bit older, with some peeling paint on the walls, damaged outdoor chairs, and rather dark public areas at night, requiring us to use our phones as flashlights.
