[2025 Dalian Stay] Travel Guide for Mercure Hotel Dalian-Friendship Square (Updated May)

Mercure Dalian Friendship Hotel Stay Experience 🏨Reasons for Choosing This Hotel: I chose Mercure Dalian Friendship Hotel because of its convenient downtown location and reasonable price. As an international chain hotel, the Mercure brand's service and facilities are trustworthy, making it suitable for both business and family travel. The hotel has modern decor, spacious rooms, and a high overall value for money. ❤️Transportation: The hotel has an excellent location, just a 10-minute drive from Dalian Railway Station, with multiple bus lines and subway stations nearby, making it very convenient to get around. It's also only a 15–20 minute taxi ride to Xinghai Square or Tiger Beach Ocean Park, making it ideal for tourists exploring Dalian's main attractions. 💰Nearby Food: There are plenty of dining options around the hotel. You can reach Zhongyuan Snack Street with a 5-minute walk, where I recommend trying Dalian's special braised dishes, grilled squid, and seafood barbecue. There are also several Northeastern restaurants nearby, such as "Wang Laoliu Iron Pot Stewed Fish," which has generous portions and authentic flavors. If you prefer Western food, the hotel's restaurant also offers a good buffet breakfast and Western-style snacks. 🧹Soundproofing/Hygiene: The rooms have good soundproofing, and you can hardly hear any noise from the hallway or next door at night, ensuring a good night's sleep. The hygiene is satisfactory, with clean sheets and bathrooms. The cleaning service is prompt, and towels are changed and toiletries are replenished daily. 💗Three Must-Visit Places: 1. Xinghai Square: One of Dalian's landmarks, perfect for strolling and taking photos. The light show at night is stunning. 2. Tiger Beach Ocean Park: Suitable for family outings, you can watch marine life performances up close, especially the beluga whales and dolphins in the polar pavilion. 3. Binhai Road: The scenery along the way is beautiful, perfect for cycling or hiking, and you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the mountains and sea. Overall, Mercure Dalian Friendship Hotel is a very cost-effective choice. Whether it's the location, service, or surrounding facilities, it's excellent and suitable for all types of travelers.

Mercure Dalian Friendship Hotel is amazing! This accommodation experience was absolutely amazing! I love the layout and sense of space in the room, especially the bathroom, which is ridiculously large, with a very good separation between wet and dry areas, and the sink is spacious enough so that two people can wash up at the same time without feeling crowded. However, it was the peak tourist season, and when I went to have breakfast on the first morning, I almost dropped my jaw - the restaurant was full of parents with children, little heads everywhere, and finding an empty table was harder than climbing Mount Heaven! After waiting for a long time, some people finally finished eating and left, and then I sat down. It felt like eating at a food stall, it was very lively. The result was even more outrageous the next day. We actually had to wait for a table for breakfast! Haha, this is the first time I see a hotel restaurant so popular. But the breakfast is indeed very rich, the wontons are especially delicious, one bite at a time, and I feel very satisfied! The best thing about the hotel is its location. It is near No. 4 Youhao Square and couldn't be closer to Metro Line 2. It has direct access to Donggang, Sports Center and Dalian North Station. It is extremely convenient. It is also not far from Dalian Old Street Night Market and Pavilion Shopping Mall, so you can go shopping and eat there. If I come to Dalian again, I will definitely choose this place!
