Hotels in Eight Great Passes/No.1 Bathing Beach, Qingdao

First off, the location is fantastic. The hotel is right by the First Bathing Beach, which was perfect for my child to explore the tide pools. The cliffside restaurant on the first floor is incredibly pleasant for enjoying the view and relaxing, giving you a wonderful sense of being away from it all. In the evening, having a drink there really sets a great mood. The food itself is quite ordinary, but the surrounding scenery and ambiance make up for any imperfections. The front desk staff were lovely – beautiful, friendly, and gentle. Sisters 3075 and 3029 left a particularly good impression on us, and we truly felt the sincerity and friendliness of the people of Qingdao. The room facilities are a bit dated but still clean. My husband loved lounging on the sofa, admiring the sea view, and kept saying how comfortable he was. Housekeeping was good; they cleaned regularly and replenished supplies. However, their response to personalized requests wasn't very proactive. For example, I noticed the kettle wasn't working and asked someone to check it. Initially, they suggested I try a different outlet, but the available outlets in the room weren't suitable for boiling water due to safety concerns. After I insisted, someone did come. It turned out the issue wasn't the kettle itself, but rather that the kettle's outlet only had power when the room card was inserted. Overall, housekeeping services met our basic needs. My child and husband enjoyed the buffet at the 25th-floor revolving restaurant. I personally found it to be good value for money, especially with the stunning, unobstructed 360-degree views and complimentary drinks. It was great. Overall, it was a wonderful stay! We'll likely choose this hotel again next time we visit Qingdao.

This was my favorite place to stay throughout my trip. It's a 2-3 minute walk from Gate 3 of the Naval Museum, and 5 minutes to Xiao Qingdao and Lu Xun Park. Although it's technically a guesthouse, the service and facilities are on par with a hotel. The room was spacious and bright. The 'Huaisha' room is perfect for families with two children, featuring a 2-meter king bed and a 1.4-meter tatami – the kids absolutely loved it! You can even see the Naval Museum from the room. Qin Yu Road is right outside on the first floor. We enjoyed leisurely strolls to the Naval Museum and Xiao Qingdao around 5 am; it was cool and there were no crowds. They offer a generous afternoon tea every day, which the kids adored so much they didn't want to leave. Breakfast was a bit pricey if added separately. Dining options nearby are limited; you have to walk about 10 minutes to the main road for more choices.

The room was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning worked great! ✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)⸝⁺✧ There's a small bar and cafe right outside, and they even have ice cream, drinks, snacks, and instant noodles for sale – everything you could need. The front desk lady was very enthusiastic and lovely, and she handled things efficiently and quickly (๑•ω•๑). The facilities, cleanliness, environment, and service were all fantastic.

Facilities: The facilities are pretty good, with an XiaoDu smart voice assistant. Cleanliness: The hygiene is good. Environment: The lobby is bright, and there are green plants in the hallway. The hotel is right by the First Bathing Beach, but the traffic in the old town is really bad. I recommend taking the subway, which is also very close. Service: The front desk staff were very friendly, helped with luggage storage, and even gave the kids a sand digging toy set! Other: The breakfast is basic but the taste is pretty good. It would be even better if they offered more noodle dishes!

The room was really spacious and I was very happy with my stay. The facilities were all brand new, and the large TV with screen mirroring was super convenient. It was awesome to enjoy a beer while watching TV! The front desk staff, especially the lady, provided excellent service. Many thanks!

I was so lucky to book this photographer during my hotel stay! The entire shoot was relaxed and enjoyable. She's especially good at capturing natural, lively moments, and her light control is excellent, making every photo atmospheric. The final photos have a high-quality feel, and the editing preserves real skin texture with an amazing aesthetic. A fantastic travel photography experience, highly recommended. If you're in Qingdao, you definitely have to get her to take your pictures! ✨

We received a complimentary upgrade to a terrace room. The room was quite clean; I saw the cleaning lady diligently cleaning upon check-in. The room was stylishly decorated and perfect for taking photos. However, the sink faucet was a bit loose and not very easy to use. Breakfast was decent, but there were quite a few bottles and jars in the room, and since the room wasn't very big, I was worried about them breaking. Some details felt a bit dated, and the courtyard could actually be improved. The service was excellent; the young man helped with our luggage and carried it to the car.

True to its star rating, the overall quality of this hotel was excellent! The lobby was sophisticated and clean, and check-in was very fast. The front desk staff were attentive and helpful. Our room was spotless, free of any odors, and the mattress and pillows were just the right firmness, ensuring a wonderful night's sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, plenty of hot water, and the toiletries were of high quality. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and tasted great. Overall, our stay was incredibly satisfying and I highly recommend it!

Overall, hotels in Qingdao aren't cheap. After comparing options and considering my itinerary, I chose this Home Inn. In terms of transportation, if you're relying on the subway, it's a bit inconvenient, about a 15-minute walk. However, it's quite close to Zhongshan Park and the Beer Museum, just a short walk away. The facilities are a bit dated; one of the bedside power outlets didn't work, which was quite inconvenient. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, and I saw a lot of Koreans enjoying their meal there. As for service, the front desk staff and the restaurant小姐姐 (young lady) were both very enthusiastic. The street the hotel is on also makes for some great photos!

What a pleasant surprise! The butler was incredibly welcoming and helped us with our luggage. We stayed in 3 different room types over three days, and they were all fantastic and spotlessly clean. Many rooms even offer ocean views. There's a popular cafe right downstairs, and the location is super convenient for getting around. The beach is just a few minutes' walk away, and it's a short stroll to attractions like the Naval Museum, Qinyu Road, Little Qingdao, Lu Xun Park, and Xiaoyushan.
