Hotels With Gym in Shandong, China

Mindy from Guest Relations pre-arranged a wonderful room for us and thoughtfully provided an introduction to the hotel beforehand. We were extremely satisfied – a perfect 10/10! The hotel's overall ambiance strikes a great balance between ceremonial elegance and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Despite its high-end brand service, it never feels stuffy or distant.

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. 😊

We chose this Hilton for our family vacation with the kids, and it was a great experience! Just across the road is Golden Beach, making it super convenient for beach strolls and playtime. The hotel also offers some parent-child activities, which kept the little one thoroughly entertained. Our sea view room had excellent views and was very clean, and the pool temperature was just right for kids to swim in. Staff member Mina🍑 provided thoughtful service. Overall, it's a one-stop shop for dining, accommodation, and fun – a fantastic choice for families traveling with children!

Our stay at the hotel was overall very pleasant. The hotel itself looks absolutely amazing, it truly feels like staying in a castle, both from the outside and inside. Our room had a beautiful sea view, which created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast offered a nice variety of options, and the café with its balcony overlooking the sea was a wonderful place to enjoy coffee. The food at the café was also very good. One of the highlights of our stay was the concierge service. The concierge was extremely helpful, polite, and professional. He assisted us many times with our deliveries and always made a great impression. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming as well. The hotel’s location, away from the city center, is actually a big advantage for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The beach is not crowded, and the swimming pool is usually peaceful and not busy. However, there are some areas where the hotel could improve. The room cleaning service needs more attention. It wasn't good at all. Some cups at breakfast were also dirty or cracked. The service at the café could be improved as well. When we came to order afternoon tea at around 5 PM, one of the young staff members seemed unhappy and impatient because it was close to the end of his working day. After making a short call, we were told that the kitchen was not answering and that they were no longer working. This experience did not feel very welcoming. Though I understand he really wanted to leave work asap, he could share it with his coworker after we left, not in front of us 🤣 The hotel also has a Japanese restaurant, but the staff could not provide clear information about its opening days or availability. We were told it might be open on Thursday and Friday, but it was not certain. Another concern is the small zoo area. animals appeared to be staying outside in the heat all day. In particular, there was a dog kept in a cage outside during very hot weather (around 35°C), which was concerning and seemed unsuitable for the animal’s comfort.. The beach near the hotel was unfortunately quite dirty, which is something that could be improved. Regarding the swimming pools, the indoor pool felt quite cold, especially with the air conditioning, making it difficult to enjoy with a child when the outdoor weather is too hot. The outdoor pool area also has limited comfortable seating. There are only a few lounge chairs, and adding soft cushions or mats would greatly improve the experience and make the area more relaxing. Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere, views, and peaceful location. The hotel has great potential, and with some improvements in service quality, cleanliness, and facilities, it could become an even better experience for guests.

Considering the average price of 2000 yuan per night, The Westin is absolutely not worth it. Let's start with the pros based on my personal experience: 1. **Excellent Location**: The transportation is indeed convenient, with a subway station right outside. It's very easy to access MixC Mall directly via an underground passage for dining. May Fourth Square and the beach are within walking distance. 2. **Outstanding Housekeeping**: The housekeeper on our floor during our 4-night, 5-day stay was incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful! Seeing that we had both elderly and children, she provided us with ample bottled water every day. After I mentioned how inconvenient it was to only have tissue paper in the bathroom sink area in such a large room, she brought us two extra packs of portable tissues for easy access. Her service attitude truly deserves a thumbs up! 👍 Now, let's get to the serious cons: 1. **Mismatched Hardware for the Price**: The room's hardware facilities are completely inadequate for this price point! Not only is the toilet not smart, but it doesn't even have a soft-close lid? My child would use the restroom half-asleep at night, and it would bang loudly. What they call a 'family suite' is essentially just a room with an extra bed. The pillows were also uncomfortable (here, I have to praise the housekeeper again! I complained to her about the pillows and asked for a buckwheat pillow. She said they were fully booked but would keep an eye out for one, and she brought me one the very next day! Thank you!). The toiletries appeared to be of low quality; most notably, my hair felt noticeably dry even after using conditioner. The hairdryer was also ineffective, with low airflow in cold mode. 2. **Subpar Front Desk and Breakfast Service for the Price**: Our room included two breakfast servings. On the first day, dining was smooth; we just swiped our room card. For the third person in my room, we paid 100 yuan for a guest breakfast. The next day, when we went down, the person at the card-swiping station at the restaurant entrance actually told me that the room only included one breakfast?! I said, 'How is that possible?' She even told me to go to the front desk to ask myself! Finally, after my repeated insistence, she took out the notebook that was right in front of her to check and then told me that it was indeed two breakfasts??!!! At that moment, I really wanted to swear (but I held back). What kind of service is this? Furthermore, there's no comparison, no harm done. Whether it was previous stays at InterContinental, Hilton, or Sheraton, if our family of 5 stayed in two rooms for three or four days or more (with two breakfasts included per room), the hotels would usually directly provide an extra breakfast without requiring a separate purchase. Of course, after spending tens of thousands on accommodation, a few hundred yuan for breakfast isn't a big deal. I'm bringing this up just to highlight an issue with the hotel's service awareness.

This hotel came highly recommended by my colleagues, and it didn't disappoint. The lobby is bright and spotless. The toiletries are good quality, and the water pressure is excellent. Yulia, one of the staff members, made the check-out process incredibly quick and easy. I'll definitely prioritize booking this hotel again on my next trip to Huangdao. Highly recommended!

My stay at the Mövenpick Hotel Qingdao West Coast far exceeded my expectations! The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. Annie, a staff member, was incredibly kind and friendly, and responded quickly to any requests. The hotel's location is super convenient for transportation, making it easy to get around, and there are plenty of options for dining, entertainment, and activities nearby. The environment is quiet, perfect for a good night's sleep, and the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend it whether you're visiting the West Coast for leisure or business!

Excellent service, and the room was spotlessly clean. The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel's proximity to the airport is incredibly convenient, making it highly recommended, especially for late-night arrivals or early morning flights. This hotel offers fantastic value for money.

The best place for a calm vacation on a beach for a affordable price. This was a nice little hotel standing right in front of a beach. The placement can be seen as perfect as this large beach is wonderful itself and much better then the beaches at the city center. The only inconvenience to consider when choosing this or nearby hotels is lack of cafes and restorans nearby, so you'd better take breakfasts in the hotel, they were not bad, tasty and very filing, with serveral options to choose from. For other places to eat, except for a two nearby costly restorans, you'll have to wark to find one about 1-1,5 km or more. If you want to spend more time in the city center consider also the time to travel to it, about 1,5 hours on a bus, 30-50 minutes on taxi. The service was decent, even though stuff does not speak english they were very welcome and supportive, helping me and calling taxi a couple of times when I needed it. The hotel itself is clean. The room was cleaned daily, not perfectly as the floors in the room stayed a bit dusty all the time but that was not too much of an issue. The bedding was always clean, towels were clean as well and changed daily. I have to say a few words about the beach and the see themselves. The beach is large and clean, there are trash bins which are cleaned daily. It have a sand of very good quality, indeed of a golden color. The beach longs for several kilometers and is from about 150 meters wide to 200+ meters wide depending on the tides. The beach is shallow but no too much, you can easily walk to a place where you can swim freely. It was August and the water was extremely warm and cozy. It was clean with little human made trash coming from the see, but due to temperature the water near the shore start blooming on a second or third day of my stay there. I had to walk 10-15 meters in a 50-80 centimeters deep water full of seaweed before I come to clear waters. I bit unpleasant but not a big deal. There were some jelly fish coming the shore, the see doesn't have dangerous ones though. The beach has some infrastructure, at least there is a place to wash your hands and legs and there are public toilets nearby the beach, but there are no safeguards on it. With an chinese specifics I would say that's a plus as they are too restrictive and protective here.

My stay at the Orange Crystal Hotel (Qingdao May Fourth Square) far exceeded my expectations! The hotel clearly puts a lot of effort into its brand culture; there's a story about the brand's origins on the bedside table, and reading it truly gives you a sense of their original vision, creating a wonderful ambiance. Early in my stay, there was a strange noise in my room. After contacting the front desk, they handled it incredibly efficiently, without much back-and-forth. They immediately arranged a room change, and the new room type was perfect. The soundproofing in the new room was excellent; it was quiet all night, and I couldn't hear any guests in the adjacent rooms, which made for a very restful sleep. I especially want to commend the self-service laundry room. It's managed by dedicated staff and fully equipped with disinfectant and antibacterial laundry detergent. I missed the pick-up time for my laundry, and the staff thoughtfully folded my clothes neatly and placed them in a special laundry bag. Such attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Throughout my stay, the service was exceptionally warm. Every staff member I encountered on the way would proactively greet guests politely and appropriately. It wasn't just standardized service; they truly went the extra mile with their thoughtful touches. The location is excellent, making travel convenient. For those who value details and service quality, this hotel is definitely worth choosing!
