Hotel berhampiran Dataran 4 Mei, Qingdao

"The location was excellent—just a short walk from MixC Mall, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. It's a great choice if you're looking for more space than a typical hotel room. The serviced apartment comes with a separate living room and dining area, making the stay much more comfortable. Despite being an apartment, the room was cleaned daily just like a hotel. The lobby staff and receptionists were also very friendly and helpful. They kindly accepted and kept my Taobao deliveries before I arrived, with their permission, which made my trip much more convenient."

"A favorite stay in Qingdao, the Yihai Garden Hotel never disappoints. Wrap around floor to ceiling windows offer spectacular views of the nightly light show Qingdao is known for. We love the spacious room, comfortable bed, and large tub. The varied breakfast buffet is one of the best in town. The staff is always attentive and exceeds expectations. Room service servings are massive- meant for a group and that would be our only suggestion: smaller portions made available for individuals and couples."

"good location to have direct access to the seaside for a stroll, however the maintenance of the facilities in room, restaurant or lobby doesn’t match with the room rates, perhaps the higher rate was for the location only. However, the services of the dining is good and friendly."

"The location is super convenient—just a 5-minute walk to MixC, with a 7-Eleven and plenty of restaurants right nearby. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. I loved the thoughtful touches: sanitized towels in sealed bags, friendly notes left by the housekeeper, bathroom slippers + regular slippers, and even an iron! They also provide coffee, tea, bottled water, and a full set of toiletries. At check-in, we were offered a welcome drink (a choice between house beer or tea) and a fresh fruit plate in the room. There was a small mix-up at check-in (around 3:00 PM) when we were initially given an uncleaned room. However, the housekeeper on the 13th floor was amazing—she quickly cleaned it for us and even gave my child a sweet little gift, which completely turned the experience around! On our last day, the front desk kindly granted us a 1-hour late check-out. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommended!"

"I stayed here with a friend, both of us in our 20s. We requested a high-floor twin room away from the elevator and non-smoking, and the hotel kindly accommodated all of our requests. Both the room and the bathroom were extremely clean. The view overlooked a construction site, but noise was never an issue, so it didn't bother us at all. While there aren't many extra amenities, the free laundry service—likely thanks to it being a business hotel—was a huge plus and very impressive. The service was also wonderful! Whenever we asked for ice, they brought a full bucket right to our room, and they continuously replenished our bottled water throughout the stay. The breakfast was fairly simple, but decent enough. Since there are so many affordable and delicious eateries nearby, it worked out totally fine for us. The location is great, too—it's very close to May Fourth Square (Wusi Square) and right in front of a lively food street, which was perfect for grabbing late-night snacks. 📌 Tip: When taking a taxi from the airport, double-check that you're going to the ”Express” location! We accidentally got dropped off at another branch nearby and had to take a second taxi. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay!"

"**Location & Value** Good location and size for the price point. The building is actually a residential condo with local residents, which gives it an authentic feel. Connected to the mall at level 6, so convenient access to dining and shopping. Corridors are very dark. **Rooms & Comfort** Rooms are true to photos. Beds are firm but surprisingly comfortable. Plenty of extra pillows and blankets provided. Fair warning though—this property is really more of a service apartment than a hotel, so manage expectations accordingly. **Cleanliness Issues** This is the main concern. Housekeeping mops the floor daily, but the water appears dirty and the floors end up grimier than before. If you're traveling with a child (as we were), you'll need to clean the floor yourself—and housekeeping will undo your work the next day. Frustrating cycle. **Breakfast & Food** Skip the hotel breakfast package—it's just delivery that you could order yourself. Better options are walking distance away. McDonald's is only 3 minutes on foot. **Service** Service is minimal to nonexistent. Asked about getting a local phone number for deliveries and the front desk was unwilling to help. Taobao/package deliveries get dumped in a communal basket with no sorting—you have to search through yourself. **Condition & Maintenance** Advertised as newly renovated in 2025, but visible wear and tear suggests low-quality renovation work. Concerns about long-term durability without proper maintenance. **Summary** Good for budget travelers who don't expect hotel amenities and don't mind doing some housekeeping yourself. The location and price are solid, but the cleanliness and service gaps are real issues."

"The location is good for me when comparing with the price for some local brand at same area. It is not a very new hotel but Holiday Inn can be trusted usually. I like walking and with the good weather temperature in QingDao, it was enjoyable and it was easy access from the new big mall to this hotel. The cleanliness consider ok, it was just… sometimes i could see dust floating in air under the light when we moved curtain, in room bath rope area. Housekeeper is hardworking, she insisted to change my towel and clear the dustin bin even though i told her i don’t need cleaning for that day. ❤️ Thanks anywau"

"Great location, walking distance to May 4th Square, Olympic Sailing Centre, MixC Mall, few meters away from metro. Eateries in the building and nearby has restaurant, reasonable price. Staffs are friendly and attentive, always greet guests with a smile. Extended service for receiving and checking our parcels from online shopping, superb. The housekeeping keeps the room tidy and clean, top up lots of water bottles. Cute robotic housekeepers in the house. Hotel has laundry and dryer, they even offer to help if you have no time to wait for it."

"Service was exceptional at Shangri-La Qingdao! All the staff were extremely friendly and courteous. Room service always left my room clean and tidy and it always feels comfortable to reach back after a day of walking in this beautiful city! Location is extremely prime as well, it is within walking distance to May Fourth Square and also a 2min walk to the Metro station as well! The hotel really provided me the safety aspect as a solo traveller. Would stay at this hotel again!"

"Once again, I’m astounded by China’s hospitality. The room we booked offered an incredible panoramic view of the city, complete with a bathtub right at the window. To top it off, when we accidentally left our belongings at the hotel, the staff went above and beyond to deliver them back to us for free!"
