We stayed there for one night. Thank god! We arrived there and forst of all we got the room without the hot water. So they came tried to fixed that it took them some time, then they said its ok. We went for a walk, got back to the hotel they said they dont have water again. When we got... More

This was my fourth time to stay at this hotel since 2008. Unfortunately, it has really gone downhill. Our ocean view room maintenance was sadly neglected. Things like the shower wand broken and falling out of the holder. The carpet was filthy and the lamps were in need of tightening and a serious dusting. On previous stays CNN was available... More

I chose this hotel because I wanted a seaview during my stay in Qingdao. I had previously stayed at a different hotel for the same price. The view was very nice but we were woken up every morning by about 7 because of the noisy traffic. The room was shabby and smelled of damp. The restaurant although always very busy... More

I travelled to Qingdao with a Chinese colleague in April 2012, and we had heard that this hotel should be good. We arrived rather late and the check-in was a 20 minute test of my patience. First of all staff spoke no English, at least not enough to be able to ask questions in a civilized manner. They also chraged... More

We stayed in this historic hotel for a long weekend. The location is very good, right at the seafront promenade, close to the Qingdao Pier, the train station and the old city centre (this makes parking a little bit of an issue). We had a modern sea view room on the top floor, nice and clean, apart from the bathroom... More

I would preface this review by explaining that I have lived in China for two years and have done a reasonable amount of travelling to a fair number of Chinese towns and cities of various sizes. Therefore I am fully aware of Chinese attitudes to noise and customer service. So to begin with, the good points. The hotel has a... More

We had a room with a sea view. It was well-sized, clean and comfortable. Internet was of course included. Shortly after arrival a bowl of fruit was delivered to the room - nice touch. Breakfast was OK and the staff were generally friendly.. The hotel location was very good, just 5 minutes to the railway station by taxi.

Stayed here in a seaview room for one night. Great view of the Qingdao Bay, Zhanqiao Pier and Qingdao skyline. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly and the architecture is just impressive! Built in the 1910s, the facade of the hotel has been well-preserved and well-maintained. But sadly, just like many of Qingdao's cultural icons, the utilization and preservation... More

Our stay was perfectly fine - the room with twin beds was a decent size and comfortable (although around the back of the hotel without a sea view - I can only presume that the bigger/more expensive rooms have the view of the water). The facade is gorgeous and the staff were helpful - most had at least functional English.... More
