Hotel berhampiran Pantai Golden, Qingdao

A transit solid hotel. One metro stop from North Qingdao Station (which goes directly to the airport - hence I stayed here). Good breakfast, and many good restaurants around, as well as a large supermarket. the Service was good and helpful (although there is no english at all). Overall, I am pleased with the choice. And would stay again.

The hotel is clean and comfortable. Good for business travel. Food served here is also of high quality. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Located in strategic place, near to tourist attractions. Only downside is limited parking.

I spent a weekend here, and it was a great experience! My apartment was absolutely fantastic, offering breathtaking views from the 42nd floor. Waking up to that sea view every morning was truly a highlight of my stay. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day. The facilities and services provided by the hotel are top‑notch. The hotel staff are helpful and professional. I am glad I chose this hotel for my trip! I genuinely enjoyed every moment spent there. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable experience! 我在这里度过了一个周末，整体体验非常棒！我住的公寓无可挑剔，在42层坐拥壮阔迷人的海景。每天清晨伴着海景醒来，是这次入住最大的惊喜。房间宽敞舒适，奔波一整天之后，可以好好放松身心。酒店配套设施完善，服务水准一流。工作人员待人热心，业务专业。很庆幸这次旅行选择了这家酒店。我十分珍惜在这里度过的每一刻，真心推荐所有想要一段难忘旅途的游客前来入住！

Hotel service was excellent, from reception to housekeeping. The deluxe room was slightly bigger than a standard room and it made a big difference in comfort. We appreciated the eye mask and extra water as we were staying four nights. The guest before us must have spilt some food on the desk - there was chilli oil on some of the desk items that housekeeping may have missed. Breakfast was just ok - most of the food was lukewarm, not as hot as I hoped. But overall a great stay, thank you.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel they claim to be on Trip.com. The first room we were checked-in had a broken window that couldn’t be opened and the reception didn’t know about it, although the window was closed with a tape and they should have known that this room had a problem. There were not many guests in the hotel and plenty of rooms to be offered. In the next room we found out that the show was out of hot water. The problem was with the central supply system and instead of repairing it themselves, the hotel engineer was coming to our room claiming that we should discharge water for 5-10 minutes before hot water starts coming out. This kept going for almost an hour, we were tired and wanted to sleep because it was late evening. The problem didn’t require our assistance because the problem was with the whole hot water supply system, not with our exact room. Also, they brought us a small heater to the room which I was surprised about, but then I understood that it was because the air-conditioner which had a heater mode, didn’t work well. I doubt that the hotel would have enough heaters for all rooms in case they had more guests. Without the heater it was quite cold in the room. Next morning the house keeper came at 9-30 am!!!Which is insane. We were sleeping. I’ve never encountered a hotel at which the house keeper came that early and disturbed the guests. Finally when leaving the hotel, we wanted to take those one-time use sleepers with us to use during the flight and found out to our surprise, that for 4 days we were living in the hotel sleepers were not changed even once. I called the reception, it was early morning (like 6-30 am) and they told me that the house keeper will bring us the sleepers when she comes to work. I told that we were leaving already and the reception promised to bring the sleepers asap. 10 minutes later nobody came and we went to check-out. At the check-out I asked for the sleepers again and told the receptionist that the taxi has almost arrived, so that she could bring us the sleepers first and then proceed with the check-out. She didn’t listen to me, still first processed the check-out and only after it went for the sleepers. So it basically took me half an hour and my nerves to get the sleepers that were supposed to be in my room from the very beginning. The general manager talked to us after the case with the hot water and the house keeper coming early in the morning. He was very polite, but this doesn’t eliminate the fact that basic services in this hotel leave much to be desired. On the plus side, very comfortable beds and clean spacious room.

Great location near the airport with convenient transportation and easy access to nearby areas. The breakfast was good with a nice variety of options, and the service was excellent throughout my stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to solo travelers, families, and friends.

We recently stayed at this resort and had a very pleasant experience overall. The location is just outside the city, about a 40-minute drive, and the drive there is beautiful. The resort was also very easy to find. Check-in was simple and smooth, and the staff were excellent throughout our stay—friendly, helpful, and quick to assist whenever needed. The room was large and clean, although it does show some signs of age. The hot springs, pool, and slides were a lot of fun and were kept clean, which we really appreciated. That said, some areas, especially the roof and floor surfaces, also show visible signs of aging and could use some maintenance. Our room did not have coffee or tea available when we arrived, but the staff provided it very quickly after we asked, which was great service. Breakfast was average, but for only a slightly higher price, it is worth including with your stay for the convenience. Overall, this is a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay, especially if you are looking for a getaway just outside the city.

For the first few days of my stay in Qingdao, I booked the compact single room. This time, for two days, I tried the double-bed room with a table and a large window, and it is really excellent for the price. The room is extremely clean and has all the basic amenities such as a shower, dental kit, and towels. One small difference is that instead of traditional cloth towels, they provide disposable paper-fiber towels. The room is also much more spacious than the single room, even though the price increase is very small. I paid about 55 RMB for the smaller room, while this room cost around 63–64 RMB, but the size is almost double. The room has a very large window facing the road in front of the hotel. I expected it to be noisy, but surprisingly it was not. There are many power outlets and switchboards, which makes it convenient for charging phones or laptops. The room also has a large TV, along with a table and chair where you can comfortably sit and work. The staff, as I mentioned earlier, are extremely friendly. By the end of my stay, they almost felt like friends. If you order food or buy items from e-commerce platforms like Jingdong or Taobao, the staff will collect the packages and store them safely on the first floor. Sometimes the delivery person will even bring the order directly to your room. I stayed on the fourth floor, and the room was very well maintained and spotless. It also includes a hairdryer and hangers. The room I booked had two beds, so if you are traveling with a colleague for business, this is a great option. The location is not extremely central, but it is still convenient. The nearest subway station is about a 10–15 minute walk, which was not a problem for me. There are also several convenience stores nearby where you can quickly buy snacks or basic items. Overall, the room is very well maintained, extremely clean, and free of dust. If you are visiting this part of the city, this hotel is definitely a good option to consider. ⸻ 我在青岛住宿的前几天订的是紧凑型单人房。这一次我住了两天，订的是带桌子的双床房，并且有一个很大的窗户。以这个价格来说，这个房间真的非常不错。 房间非常干净，而且配备了基本的设施，比如淋浴、牙具和毛巾。需要说明的一点是，他们提供的不是传统的布毛巾，而是一次性的纸纤维毛巾。相比之前的小单人房，这个房间的空间要大得多，而价格只稍微贵一点。之前的小房间大约是55元人民币，而这个房间大约是63到64元人民币，但房间的面积几乎是之前的两倍。 房间有一个很大的窗户，面向酒店前面的马路。我原本以为会比较吵，但实际上并没有想象中那么吵。房间里有很多插座和开关，给手机或笔记本电脑充电都很方便。房间里还有一台很大的电视，以及一张桌子和椅子，可以坐下来工作。 正如我之前提到的，酒店的工作人员非常友好。到我离开的时候，我们几乎已经像朋友一样。如果你点外卖或者从京东、淘宝等电商平台购买东西，工作人员会帮你收包裹，并把它们安全地放在一楼。有时候外卖员也会直接把东西送到你的房间。 我住在四楼，房间维护得很好，非常干净，没有灰尘。房间里还配有吹风机和衣架。我订的这个房间是双床房，如果是两个人出差一起住，这是一个非常不错的选择。 酒店的位置不算特别中心，但也算方便。最近的地铁站大约需要步行10到15分钟，对我来说完全不是问题。附近也有一些便利店，可以很方便地买一些吃的或日常用品。 总体来说，这个房间维护得很好，非常干净。如果你来到这个城市的这个区域，这家酒店是一个非常值得考虑的选择。

Not the worst place I’ve ever stayed but a little bit dirty. It’s OK ultimately I think a decent seaside spot.
