Beach Hotels in Shandong, China

Our trip to Qingdao was absolutely delightful! The hotel's location is fantastic; you step right out to a stunning view of the sea. Every single staff member was incredibly warm and attentive, especially our concierge, Lora. She checked in with us daily to ensure we were sleeping well and had everything we needed, even surprising us with a small gift. Lora is such a kind and beautiful lady, and she truly made our first trip of 2026 a wonderful experience. Plus, the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel offers an amazing view – having breakfast overlooking the ocean was incredibly relaxing!

This is an absolute gem among all the hotels I've stayed in over 15 years of traveling across 40 countries. The design of the rooms, corridors, and common areas is stunning and truly unique. There’s an arcade machine in the room with Nintendo games from my childhood… It feels like the hotel owner's personal signature style - and it's the most amazing highlight of this place! A special afternoon tea with fantastic cookies is a wonderful service. Breakfast is usually a buffet, as far as I understand, but on the day of my stay, there was no buffet, and breakfast was served individually for each guest. Still, it was very good and filling. The location is excellent - right next to the bus station. That means you can check in immediately after arriving from the airport by airport bus, or leave your luggage if you arrive early. Getting anywhere in the city is also easy, quick and cheap by local buses. The room was very comfortable: quiet and very warm (I stayed during the cold season), exceptionally clean, with a great bathroom, and everything was in perfect condition. The bed was very comfortable with amazingly soft pillows worthy of a high-end hotel - and they even provide several pillows with different levels of softness! The staff's attitude toward guests is excellent: I'm a light sleeper, and quietness is important to me, but in Asia this is often a problem even in expensive hotels. So when booking, I requested a quiet room on a high floor and away from the elevator - and my wishes were fulfilled perfectly. And for all of this, the price is simply incredible. This hotel is worth traveling to Yantai just to stay here! Overall, it's a masterpiece. The only places I've seen that are better are classic five-star hotels, but even they don't have such outstanding interior design and arcade machines. 😊 And if you were born in the 1980s, you absolutely have to stay at this hotel to play the games of your childhood on a real arcade machine right in your room. 😊

I stayed at this hotel apartment last year and chose to stay here again this year. The room was exceptionally comfortable. I booked a sea view suite, and the ocean scenery was absolutely stunning. It's conveniently located near the subway station, making getting around quick and easy! I had to go deep-sea fishing early the next morning, so staying by the sea in the city was also more convenient. I think I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Qingdao! 👍

The hotel boasts stunning seaside views and charming black pine forests, creating a wonderfully comfortable environment. Luna was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, proactively explaining how to use the facilities and responding promptly to our requests. The guest rooms feature high-end bedding and toiletries, and the facilities are well-maintained. Both the public areas and our room were thoroughly cleaned. Overall, the experience far exceeded our expectations and comes highly recommended!

The time spent staying at Weihai Golden Beach Seaview Hotel is like a gentle poem composed by the sea breeze. The moment you push open the door, the solid wood table and chairs and the sea view terrace form a picture frame, taking in the sparkling waves and the clouds in the sky. Sitting on the terrace at dusk, listening to the sound of waves passing by your ears, it feels like falling into a lingering dream on the sea. Sleep on a bed as soft as a cloud, and wake up in the morning to a special fruit plate. The amenities in the bathroom are all of the best quality, and every detail is imbued with the craftsmanship of silent ingenuity. I especially remember the smiling lady at the front desk, who started this pleasant journey for us with smooth efficiency - even if we arrived in the early morning, we could check in early and were given a voucher for the self-service laundry room, which was like the warmth of an old friend's welcome. The most unforgettable thing is the buffet breakfast restaurant beside the Golden Beach Pier. Dine in the landscape where the sea and sky meet every day, a feast for your taste buds and vision. The restaurant's delicacies are updated every day, including both local fisherman's flavors and specialties from other regions. Every taste that flows on your tongue is a surprise. I was particularly impressed by the lady at No. 330 in the restaurant and the lady at the noodle stall. Their words seemed to carry the gentle breeze of spring, and their courtesy in delivering tableware made me feel that this was not just a place to stay, but also a harbor where one could entrust their body and mind. This trip surrounded by blue sea and blue sky is full of unexpected surprises, and I can't wait to share this beauty with my friends. When the wind blows tomorrow, I will follow the sound of waves in my memory and keep this gentle appointment again.

Hygiene: The room was very spacious and clean, and the towels were soft and of good quality. Environment: The window offered a stunning sea view. It was truly beautiful; you could sit by the window and watch the waves all day long 🌊. Service: A lovely lady helped with our luggage and brought it right to our door, which was a very thoughtful touch.

This immersive beer-themed hotel by Tsingtao Beer is definitely worth adding to your travel list! Its advantages are outstanding: fantastic location right next to the Golden Beach Beer Festival main venue, and within walking distance to the beach. It offers a rich variety of experiences, with the 1903 craft brewery, beer spa, and art space covering all your dining, drinking, and entertainment needs. At the craft brewery, you can even see the production line through glass, ensuring maximum freshness. The room design perfectly balances aesthetics and practicality, with spacious rooms starting from 50 sqm. Xiao Du smart control manages lighting and curtains, and a dehumidifier and air purifier are provided. Toiletries contain beer yeast, showing attention to detail.

Our stay at Indigo was fantastic! The service was incredibly nice and enthusiastic. No matter where we were, the staff greeted us warmly. The concierge was always ready to help with luggage or call a taxi, and the room service was excellent. Honestly, from the front desk to the concierge and all other staff, everyone was wonderful. It was a very satisfying stay. I don't even need to mention the room's facilities, amenities, or cleanliness – they were definitely perfect. We'll definitely come back here next time we're in Yantai.

An incredibly high-value five-star hotel during the off-season! 🏨 Perfect for families with kids or a group of girlfriends. 🪟 The loft room's bathroom is on the second floor, with toilets on both levels. The hotel's spa area has hot tubs and showers, so even if there are many people, you don't have to wait for the single bathroom in your room. You can just go for a dip in the hot pools, enjoy the sauna, then shower there and come back to your soft, comfy bed! (Note: ♨️ the spa closes at 10 PM). ⛱️ The hotel grounds are huge! Right behind it is a long, beautiful coastline. You can play outside during the day, and in the evening, take a stroll on the beach 🌃 listening to the waves, and even spot some seabirds. 🥣 Breakfast is served facing the ocean, so you can watch the waves while you eat. The restaurant is on the first floor, facing the sea 🌊, so it might be a bit cooler. If you get cold easily, just wear a bit more 🧣. 🍠 The roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, and they even have Brie cheese 😋. There aren't any cakes or desserts for breakfast (I was craving some!), but they do have classic European Danish pastries and freshly made large crepes 🫔 (Tianjin style, not the Shandong type). Yantai apples 🍎 are tasty (the welcome apple we received was super sweet!). 😌 The towels in the room are soft and fluffy. 🕴️ Service: Excellent. A big thanks to the gym front desk lady who waited for me to finish showering even after her shift ended 🙏🙏🙏. ♨️ The pool/hot tubs/baths close at 10 PM. The gym is open 24 hours and has all the basic equipment you need. There's even a Smith machine and an Olympic bar, which allowed me to get my squats in! 😎 (Warning: Add weight plates responsibly).

I went to Qingdao with my colleagues to meet a client, and only found out upon arrival that they were staying at the Hyatt Regency. So, I made a last-minute booking through Ctrip at the hotel. A big thank you to Andy at the front desk for upgrading my room and helping arrange a room next to the client's, as well as sending up two fruit platters. The next day, I attended a public welfare event press conference for the spotted seals at the Polar Ocean World. I couldn't make it back to the hotel in time for check-out at noon, so I really appreciate Linda at the front desk for assisting with a late check-out. The hotel's location is excellent, the breakfast is fantastic, and it has its own private beach. It's also very close to the Polar Ocean World.
