Dalian Hotels with balcony

"Choosing this hotel for my trip was a really smart move; the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. The room was impeccably clean, and the layout was cozy and comfortable. The mattress was just right – not too soft, not too firm – which made for excellent sleep. The front desk staff were professional and efficient, patiently answering all my questions. Plus, the location offers convenient transportation. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay, and I highly recommend it!"

"My stay at Atour Hotel (Xinghai Square, Dalian) truly exceeded my expectations. The location, room, and service were all top-notch. The hotel is right by Xinghai Square, within walking distance to the Centennial City Sculpture and the beach. It's incredibly convenient for enjoying sea views, taking a stroll, or snapping some photos. I booked a sea-view room, and the view was fantastic. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered direct views of the ocean and Xinghaiwan Bridge. The daytime sea view was expansive, and the evening lights made for great night photos. The room itself was clean and tidy, with a simple yet comfortable decor. The bedding was just right – not too soft, not too hard – ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. The bathroom had a good wet/dry separation, stable hot water, and a full set of toiletries. The smart toilet was also a convenient touch. The lighting and curtains in the room could all be controlled with a single button, showing great attention to detail. The front desk staff were efficient and polite during check-in, and quick to respond to any questions. The breakfast had a sufficient variety of options, tasted decent, and was filling enough to kickstart the day's activities. Overall, it offered good value for money. The location is excellent, the sea view is a big plus, and it's a very comfortable place to stay. I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dalian and looking to stay near Xinghai Square."

"This is a really nice, cozy little house. I've traveled a lot and stayed in a lot of B&Bs, and the value for money is super high. I give this one 100 points. Whether it's the warm and welcoming attitude of the customer service or the clean, hygienic, convenient and easy-to-use facilities, you can see the careful maintenance and love of life. I love it! I'm very satisfied and highly recommend it. Look at the pictures I took, the Eight Horses map is so fun! Hahaha"

"Atour hotel is good if proximity to Dalian Bei train station is essential. It was a 8-9minute drive to the train station. Check-in process was inattentive. We had inquired about our pre-arranged online purchases which were supposed to be delivered prior to my arrival. I had informed the hotel via trip.com app that I had purchased some items for winter use and delivered to the hotel-the front counter staff were not very helpful until Ms Fei Yu 菲羽 arrived. She enthusiastically helped us call the delivery company to enquire the status of the parcels and rearrange another delivery so we received our warm packs on time. She took the extra step to inform her colleagues and even helped us pack an early breakfast on our departure day when we had to catch an early train to Changbaishan. Kudos to 菲羽 and her service excellence!"

"This hotel's location is genuinely brilliant, right in the city centre next to the Zhongshan subway and plaza, and for this price point, you really can't ask for better. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the language barrier (Google Translate sorted us out fine), and the cleaning team were lovely too. The room was decent and properly clean, I checked for dust and there wasn't any. However, the hotel is quite old, and there was some mould on the ceiling and in the bathroom and shower curtain. It didn't bother me personally, but worth noting, and a bit of spray would be great. That said, Dalian was incredibly humid when I visited in late August, so I suspect this is partly a climate issue. Even my own towels wouldn't dry properly. The place was quite busy, mainly Chinese customers, but they were quiet and discreet. Practical bits: they provide two bottles of water daily and disposable paper towels (which actually came in handy given the humidity). The room also had a washing machine (bring your own detergent) and you can hang clothes outside on the 9th floor veranda. There's a bus stop right outside with direct services to Xian Lu (shopping and basement food market) and the Transport University area night market, the subway goes straight to the airport, and you're walking distance from the main tourist spots like Russian Street, the old tram etc. Plenty of restaurants nearby too. And two convenience stores on ground floor. This place accepts foreign tourists and check-in was quick and easy. Internet was fast but slower in the evenings. Honestly, some of the complaints I've read here seem a bit harsh considering what you're paying. You get what you pay for, and at this price point in this location, I think it's fair value. I'd stay here again, especially if travelling on a budget. Thank you, we had a lovely time in Dalian!"

"I booked a special offer room, and the design is really well thought out. It's compact but doesn't feel cramped or stuffy. I specifically checked the amenities and facilities, and they're the same as those in the other sea-view rooms, which shows the owner really invested in the place. My favorite part is the balcony – with all the flowers in bloom and the sea view, it's absolutely gorgeous! Just a side note, sitting there with a cup of coffee at night, enjoying the light show on the cross-sea bridge, is incredibly relaxing. The owner is a bit too modest; the actual stay was much better than what the pictures suggested."
