Ξενοδοχεία με πρωινό σε Τσινγκτάο

My stay was very good. The room was clean and had no strange smells. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. It's also close to the North Railway Station. I'd definitely consider staying at the Qingdao North Railway Station Light Inn on Shengping Road again if I come back to Qingdao! 😄

This newly opened Hampton by Hilton boasts a very convenient location, close to the subway station with an abundance of dining options nearby. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and convenience stores are all easily accessible, along with many other restaurants of varying sizes. The old Qingdao specialty restaurant next door serves particularly delicious food. The room was very clean, the bedding was neat, and the facilities were brand new. The front desk staff, Yulia, was friendly and promptly addressed any requests. The breakfast offered a good variety of dishes, catering to both Western and Chinese tastes, and the freshly cooked noodles were very popular. Staying here made our trip very hassle-free. Five-star rating!

I specifically chose a high-floor sea-view room for this trip, and it was wonderfully cool. Being able to see the ocean every day was fantastic! The room was clean, the environment was comfortable and cozy, and the staff were warm and attentive. The facilities were also safe and reliable! Highly recommend!

When I came to Qingdao this time, after comparing various options, I chose the Wyndham Grand Qingdao and was very satisfied with the overall experience. The hotel's location is convenient for getting around, and the interior environment is quiet and peaceful, free from outside noise. The mattress was very comfortable, and after one night's stay, all my fatigue was gone. The smart home system and Dyson hairdryer were great added touches. The cleaning was meticulous, and staff members Xiaoxiao and Lydia were responsive to all questions and efficient in their work. This hotel is perfect for both business trips and short getaways.

My stay at the Westin Qingdao this time brought an unexpected experience, thanks to the excellent coordination between the Front Office and Housekeeping departments. Upon arrival for check-in, the Front Office team not only handled the basic reception but also paid close attention to the details of my travel plans. They considered the actual habits of different guests, communicating concisely and practically, avoiding overly formal pleasantries. When I provided feedback to the Front Office regarding my stay, the information was efficiently synchronized with the Housekeeping department. The seamless communication between departments meant I didn't have to repeat myself, and the closed-loop handling of issues was truly reassuring. Housekeeping's service was subtle yet profound. Daily room tidying was meticulous and thorough, with items neatly arranged, and the bathroom and bedding maintained to be clean and comfortable. Any requests for additional supplies or simple adjustments to the room's setup were responded to promptly and executed efficiently, without any delays. Even without direct interaction, I could genuinely feel the staff's dedication. One department handles external reception and coordination, while the other maintains the quality of the living space within the room. These two departments complement each other perfectly. They don't intentionally create a sense of ceremony but rather focus their efforts on tangible details, making the entire experience, from arrival to departure, smooth and comfortable. It was precisely the diligent and dedicated work of both teams that made my entire stay incredibly pleasant, and I highly commend the service levels of both departments.

I was very satisfied with the hotel. You can reach it directly from the airport via a connected walkway. The rooms are very spacious. The twin rooms are generally not affected by planes taking off and landing, but in the king rooms, you can see and definitely hear the planes. For dining, there's a food court in the arrival hall, but the food quality is only average. In the departure hall, there are chain restaurants, and the Chuange Dumplings are delicious, and you can also order other dishes. The hotel also has a Chinese restaurant where you can have dumplings, noodles, and set meals. The hotel pool was open; after getting in, it wasn't cold after swimming for a bit. Getting to the city center takes about an hour on Line 8, which is quite convenient.

The hotel boasts a grand architectural design and numerous rooms, reflecting the style of an established star-rated hotel. Upon entering the room, there was a noticeable musty smell. However, the mattress was very thick and incredibly comfortable to sleep on. We ran out of tissues in the room, but the housekeeper promptly brought some when we requested them. There were no disposable bath liners for the bathtub, and they weren't available for purchase, which is an area where service could definitely be improved. Given its large scale, the hotel could consider offering childcare services similar to Club Med. A kids' play area with soft play structures, slides, and a ball pit would be a great addition, allowing parents to relax. There was no buffet available. With such a large property, inter-departmental communication seems to be an issue. The information provided by the housekeeper for the 1928 Beer Bar's dining options was incorrect. After checking out, the housekeeper asked for a good review. I provided some suggestions, but the housekeeper, 'Dabaitu' (Big White Rabbit), never replied. It feels like the service in northern China is often a 'do-it-because-my-boss-told-me-to' mentality, and any extra requests from guests are seen as an inconvenience. I really liked the breakfast buffet where many of the attendants were older, creating a very harmonious atmosphere, like being cared for by parents while away from home. The breakfast selection was extensive. There are two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor. Cat petting costs 19.9 for children and 29.9 for adults, with single entry and unlimited time. Feeding animals costs 10 yuan, which includes one portion of feed. **However, if you write a good review for 1 yuan, you get fewer carrots than the 10 yuan portion. The animals seemed a bit pathetic, with the little horse constantly kicking the wire fence.** There are two swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor. The buffet at the 1928 Beer Bar is more Western-style. Many people might not be used to it. We tried it, and the quality of the desserts was excellent! There's a beach right behind the hotel, with some rocks, but not too many. You can go tide pooling in the early morning and at night. It's too hot during the day due to strong sun, and there isn't much seafood to find then either. The package included access to the Haiquanwan Hot Springs, but I must mention: it was dirty. There were no tissues or disposable combs in the hair-drying area (only a few scattered combs for everyone to share). With this level of service, I won't be returning. The hotel's location is indeed a bit remote, making it suitable for self-driving. There's a Shandong University cafeteria and museum nearby, which I'd give five stars!

This hotel was pretty good overall. We stayed in four rooms for four days, and while there were a few minor hiccups, they didn't really detract from the experience. It was perfect for a family stay; the kids loved playing in the sand on the beach behind the hotel, swimming in the pool, and exploring the playground in the nearby mangrove forest. All in all, a five-star rating!
