Friendly staff and nice place to stay. Near many sights, not near any nightlife.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review~Kaiyue Hostel is an upgraded version of Qingdao's first old international youth hostel, with a prime location and convenient transportation just outside the subway and bus station. The JINNS restaurant on the first floor was established in 2007 and is worth a try!
Staffs were very nice and friendly. The hostel was a bit old but kept very clean. I loved staying there.

I liked the hotel very much! Nice and clean room. Staff very friendly and helpful! And they have a very good restaurant in the hotel!
Response from Property: Xiaoyue thank you for your heartfelt evaluation, look forward to the next time to meet you again ~ We sincerely treat every guest, very happy to give you a satisfactory experience, we are a hundred years old site transformed into ~ location, convenient transport!
Perfect location for Zhongshan Road area. Lovely building, pleasant and helpful receptionists. There is an on-site cafe/bar with an Italian menu featuring the tasty pizza from the shop downstairs – there's a significant discount for residents. The cafe plays sci-fi and fantasy films constantly. Outside on the steps they set up a projector and show cheery Hollywood films to watch before bedtime. Altogether one of the nicest hostels I've stayed at anywhere. Minor suggestions: centrally control the aircon thermostat to prevent differences of preference in the dorm rooms, and consider the ventilation in the dorm rooms in case of smelly or sneezing roommates!

It is a very nice place to stay. It has the character. We like it very much despite the many stairs and the small size of the room. It has roof lounge and good restaurant. The location is perfect if you want stay in old town. I would stay again there.

The restaurant was great for breakfast and had really good choices for dinner. I enjoyed my stay but the one thing I hope will change soon is the construction noise.
The construction going on in the neighborhood during my off-season stay was quite extensive and also was happening in the street directly outside the hotel. Saturday morning was a pre-8am jackhammer wake-up call and it was also extended into the evening after 8pm! Once the street is fixed up directly outside the hotel, the construction noise shouldn't be a problem.
