Hotel berhampiran Shilaoren Beach, Qingdao

It's amazing that the rooms provided at such a price are quite large, yet practical. Our family of five arrived late (past one o’clock in the morning) by plane. Thanks to the front desk guy who took us from the parking lot to the hotel. Otherwise, with kids, 4 luggages, raining heavily, midnight, one could imagine how disastrous would be without the help from the hotel front desk! The breakfast is also very rich, and the service is also very good. I’m not sure if this is due to the friendly personality of Qingdao people or just Atour staff, people I met when I touched down from Qingdao airport to convenient storekeeper to driver, I found that people here are very easy-going. For this reason, I am looking forward to this trip at Qingdao. 😊

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.

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.

it a great convenient to stay at this hotel if you having early flight from airport, about 10-15min walk to terminal from hotel, that also the main reason for mine last night stay in qingdao as mine flight at 9am. I won't comment much as this a one night stay thing, but overall I believe most people opted to stay at airport hotel purely of early flight reason .. so it already a good enough reason to choose this hotel. pricing vs location, hotel and airport-amenities I give 8/10 to this hotel.

We had a wonderfully cozy stay at this hotel—it felt like a peaceful escape by the sea. The room was warm and inviting, with a stunning ocean view that made every morning feel special. We spent hours at the water park, which was clean, fun, and perfect for both kids and adults. The staff were genuinely friendly without being intrusive, and the little comforts—like plush robes, blackout curtains, and fresh pastries at breakfast—made all the difference. It's not a huge, impersonal resort, and that's exactly what we loved about it. Just a charming, relaxing getaway that we're already hoping to repeat.

I received a very warm welcome at this hotel. The room was extremely clean, and the location is perfect: extremely convenient. All the staff were nice, respectful, and friendly.

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.
