Scenic Hotels in Qingdao

"recently stayed at this apartment and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The décor was modern yet cozy, and the apartment was equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay – from a fully stocked kitchen to fresh linens and fast Wi-Fi. The location was perfect, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the area. Despite being central, the apartment was very quiet at night, so I slept really well. The host was also fantastic – responsive, friendly, and always ready to help with recommendations or questions. Their attention to detail really made me feel welcome. Overall, this apartment felt like a home away from home, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again on my next trip. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place to stay!"

"The location is a big plus. It's right by a subway exit, with MixC City just next door, offering plenty of dining options. The facilities are decent, though they feel a bit dated and the lighting is quite dim. It comes equipped with a washing machine, a fridge, and kitchen facilities. Cleanliness was just average."

"The room was impeccable, featuring a stunning floor-to-ceiling window with panoramic sea views, a spacious and impeccably clean king-size bed, breathtaking scenery, and a captivating light show at night. The sumptuous breakfast and afternoon tea were truly delightful, and the fruit platter was a particular highlight for my wife. The convenient car service, the manager's dedication and professionalism, and the doormen's thoughtful and attentive service all contributed to an exceptional stay. A huge thank you to all the staff for their exceptional efforts; Haitian truly lives up to its reputation as a 'super five-star' hotel. Beautiful Qingdao, and the grand, luxurious Haitian left us with unforgettable memories and made us long to stay longer. We wish Haitian Hotel continued prosperity and even greater success! We will definitely be back! Thank you!"

"The location is excellent, and as a standalone building, it offers a great environment. Our room on the 5th floor was very quiet. Most facilities have been updated and are in excellent condition. We appreciated that the floor drain had no odor and drained smoothly, and the shower offered strong, consistent water pressure. The towels were thoughtfully disinfected and sealed in plastic bags. Both the air conditioning and the Xiaomi air purifier operated silently. Breakfast was generous, and the staff were all very attentive and had excellent attitudes. Minor drawbacks: The electric curtains couldn't be paused midway. The bathroom was quite small, and the mural above the toilet was unappealing. Furthermore, the bedside tables and desk surfaces were made of outdated, rather shabby plywood."

"For my trip to Qingdao, I was looking for a hotel with convenient access to transportation, shopping, and dining. After reading numerous traveler reviews, I opted for the newly opened Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square branch). The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable, and the cleanliness was also quite good. The facilities were comprehensive. Although there wasn't a direct sea view, the city lights at night were still dazzling. Breakfast was plentiful, offering local specialty snacks that tasted great. Even with many guests staying, everything remained quite orderly. A notable feature: The laundry room was a very popular spot, often with queues forming. The hotel site originally served as the Qingdao Workers' Sanatorium, which I personally believe contributes to its 'quiet oasis in a bustling city' feel. Downside: As some other guests have mentioned, the shower water temperature would occasionally fluctuate between hot and cold, and the water spray was too dispersed. I hope this can be improved."

"We were given a complimentary room upgrade, which was a lovely surprise. The room was very spacious, and the service was excellent. For families traveling with kids, having laundry facilities available was incredibly convenient. The breakfast area was very clean and well-maintained; it would have been even better with a wider variety of options. The hotel's location is also very convenient for getting around, with easy access to Metro Lines 2 and 3, plus various bus routes. One minor issue was the low water pressure in the bathroom and slow drainage, which might be due to ongoing renovations."

"The service here is superb, and the surroundings are even more stunning! Especially during this sweltering summer, I must commend myself for making such a wise choice – it's truly the most stress-free destination for families with kids, haha! You can happily just 'nest' in the hotel without ever feeling the need to step out. The pool and gym on the basement level (B1) are enough to keep the little ones entertained for half a day. The backyard is even more impressive; grab a bag of pigeon feed and you can enjoy a completely stress-free hour-long stroll after dinner. It perfectly combines escaping the heat with keeping the kids happy! If you're driving, this place is an absolute no-brainer – just book it! And a special mention for the buffet breakfast: the scallion oil noodles are an absolute must-try. The warm and attentive service struck just the right balance, creating a truly comfortable and pressure-free atmosphere. In the evening, a 15-minute drive took us to Binhai Road beach for some beachcombing, where we were lucky enough to spot a full moon. We left feeling utterly content, haha."

"Staying here for a night with a deluxe room at 20th.floor where there's a slight corner sea view. love it!. The only downside is the wooden floor is a bit dusty. food served for the celebrity buffet and morning breakfast are delicious and lots of varieties. Overall is a pleasant stay at MGM Qingdao. will definitely be my priority choice for next visit to Qingdao."

"On my recent trip to Qingdao, I had the opportunity to stay at both The St. Regis and Diaoyutai, and here's my combined review: 1. **Rooms**: While the rooms at The St. Regis aren't overly spacious, their layout is more thoughtfully designed and comfortable compared to Diaoyutai. The view from the window, in particular, is simply breathtaking – offering beautiful sea views by day and stunning city lights by night. Cleanliness was also superior at The St. Regis. 2. **Location**: The St. Regis boasts a prime beachfront location, with major attractions like the Third Bathing Beach, Badaguan Scenic Area, and the Olympic Sailing Center all within walking distance, making its location superior. Diaoyutai is about a 10-minute walk from the sea, placing it in a slightly less central area. However, it offers more dining options in the vicinity. For local specialties, there's a convenient supermarket on the basement level of Jinding Plaza, right next to the hotel. 3. **Breakfast**: The breakfast at The St. Regis was more extensive and of higher quality. The candy and ice cream were a particular hit with children, and popular items like smoked salmon and blueberries were always promptly replenished. In contrast, at Diaoyutai, some breakfast items often ran out if you arrived later. 4. **Service**: The St. Regis provided superior service. Their staff exhibited a strong proactive service mindset and their responsiveness was excellent. While Diaoyutai staff were helpful in resolving issues, their initiative wasn't as strong. There's a price difference of several hundred [RMB, implicitly] between the two hotels. If you're not overly concerned with the price, The St. Regis offers a significantly better overall experience."

"I was about to stop reviewing, but now I'm feeling a bit down. First, the room smelled like a decorator, which irritated my eyes and throat. I called the front desk, and they sent me a purifier. I cranked it up to full blast, and then had to open the doors and windows, making it incredibly uncomfortable and uncomfortably cold. It was freezing, and the air conditioning didn't adjust the temperature. I've stayed in several hotels, and this was the most uncomfortable. I chose this hotel for family and friends, but it's hard to put into words... Their night view is nice, but it's a shame I can't see it because the overhead windows let in a cold draft. They have laundry facilities, which is convenient, but everyone uses them, including the staff."
