Hotels with balcony in Dalian

I booked a special offer room, and the design is really well thought out. It's compact but doesn't feel cramped or stuffy. I specifically checked the amenities and facilities, and they're the same as those in the other sea-view rooms, which shows the owner really invested in the place. My favorite part is the balcony – with all the flowers in bloom and the sea view, it's absolutely gorgeous! Just a side note, sitting there with a cup of coffee at night, enjoying the light show on the cross-sea bridge, is incredibly relaxing. The owner is a bit too modest; the actual stay was much better than what the pictures suggested.

Stop scrolling through endless reviews and just book this hotel! Seriously, I loved it at first sight and I've never been disappointed when booking hotels here!!! 😂😂😂 What's it like to stay in a castle in Jinshitan National Resort? 😎😎 It's perfectly situated, with Golden Pebble Beach to the south and Discoveryland Theme Park to the north! We arrived by taxi, and the staff were incredibly helpful, carrying our luggage all the way to our room – everyone was so welcoming. The front desk lady was super efficient and had such a lovely personality. She even recommended some local Dalian specialties like sea urchin and 'menzi', as well as nearby restaurants. Huge thanks! ❤️ The room offers stunning mountain and sea views, and the balcony design is truly unique, with an exotic flair – perfect for photos! 📸📸📸 As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a pleasant fragrance. 🥰 The furniture and bathroom were spotless (I saw the cleaning staff tidying rooms in the hallway in the morning, and they were still at it when I returned in the afternoon – very thorough! 👍👍). A safe, refrigerator... everything you need! My favorite part was definitely the public areas! The colorful chandeliers in the lobby, the lobby bar, the book bar, the gentlemen's bar, the spiral staircase, the piano – it all felt more magical than any castle. The Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, and cloud restaurant are open for extended hours, which is perfect for my night owl schedule! 😹 The third floor is also fantastic to explore. There's a swimming pool, a gym, and surprisingly, three kids' areas! With books, building blocks, and slides, even adults will want to join in! 🤫 It’s really great for families with kids, offering different interactive craft activities daily, probably over 30 options!! Some things are better experienced than explained. 🫣 You won't regret staying here! 🤗🤗 The weather in Dalian has been lovely recently, with clear skies and a pleasant sea breeze! In short, visiting Dalian without going to Jinshitan is a wasted trip, and going to Jinshitan without staying at the Hilton is a wasted experience! 🥳🥳🥳🤓🫶🫶👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️

First off, the location is fantastic – nestled by the mountains and the sea, yet still conveniently close to the city. The architectural style is grand and imposing; it's beautiful both inside and out. It's a photographer's dream with so many picturesque spots, perfect for those who love taking photos. For families or those with kids, I highly recommend a sea-view room. My trip was quite spontaneous; I booked hotels last minute for all three nights. Honestly, the value for money here surpasses the Grand Hyatt, though it might not be as close to Xingyue Square. However, you can easily get around by taxi, or use the hotel shuttle to go down the hill. If the weather's nice, a leisurely stroll down is also enjoyable (you might even spot a deer along Binhai West Road – they're super cute! The complimentary apples from the hotel are a hit with them, even more so than carrots). Plus, the room views here are much better than the Grand Hyatt. Most Grand Hyatt rooms offer an angled sea view, whereas at Yi Fang Castle, the rooms generally face the sea directly, front and center. The service deserves five stars. The front desk staff were gentle and enthusiastic. When we had a minor issue with the toilet in our room, they were proactive in resolving it. They even followed up at check-out to ask about our experience and later called to apologize, concerned about affecting our stay. We only discovered the toilet lid was beeping around 11 PM. A technician came to look, but it seemed like it couldn't be fixed right away. We asked the front desk, and they immediately sent new room cards and upgraded our room. Though it was a small hiccup, we felt truly taken care of. Our whole family unanimously decided we'd stay here again on our next trip to Dalian. It's convenient whether you want to just relax or go out and explore. One small heads-up for those considering staying: the hotel has been open for a while now, so it has that classic, established luxury hotel style. If you prioritize modern facilities, you might want to consider other options. Hotels closer to Donggang tend to be newer. It really depends on individual needs. I'd recommend it to photography lovers, families with kids, and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We didn't dine at the hotel, so I can't comment on the food. However, Dalian has many delicious dining options, and the city isn't too big, so you can easily find great food just by exploring.

Overall hotel was very nice. Room had a bathtub and a small play zone for a kid. We couldn’t get a breakfast because it was off season. However the area where guests should have it is good. Also the hotel itself has a play area for little ones. I would recommend to add some kid’s steps for using a toilet and a sink. This is what we felt discomfort about. But not a big deal.

The room is beautiful, well-equipped, and the cleaning service is very thoughtful. The front desk is on duty 24 hours a day, and the service is very timely! The breakfast is rich and there are many varieties. I stayed with my children for four nights. The children cried when they left. I love this hotel so much! The surrounding area of ​​the hotel is very convenient, with various types of restaurants, street barbecues, snack shops, supermarkets, everything you need, especially convenient!

The hotel's location is excellent, right opposite Happy Beach Gate 4, and within walking distance of Discovery Kingdom. Upon check-in, the front desk upgraded us to a sea-view room, which I really appreciated. However, I can't give a good rating for a few reasons: 1. As soon as we got to the room, I called the front desk for children's slippers and toothbrushes. After waiting half an hour with no delivery, I ended up getting them from a housekeeping staff member in the hallway. 2. In the afternoon, I called the front desk for disposable cups. Again, after waiting half an hour, they still hadn't arrived. I had to call again to follow up before they finally sent a robot to deliver them. We then left the room, and when we returned in the evening, we found two disposable cups sitting on the floor outside our door! Isn't putting paper cups on the floor unhygienic? 3. The hotel advertises free sand-digging tools. We stayed for two nights, and every time we went to get tools, they were either unavailable or broken! 4. Our room on the fifth floor wasn't particularly noisy, but as soon as you stepped out of the elevator, the hallway had an odd smell that I couldn't quite place. The bedding also felt damp, making for an uncomfortable stay. For a Trip.com 5-diamond hotel with such a prime location, this was truly disappointing. It seems you really do get what you pay for!

Now that my trip is over, I still want to review my stay. I chose this hotel because it was already in my favorites when I decided to visit Dalian. I picked it primarily for the scenic views, and indeed, the hotel's location and the room's view were quite good, and the staff service was okay. However, there were a few aspects that were rather mediocre. Firstly, the mattress and pillows. After a five-hour drive, I didn't get that comfortable, refreshing feeling when I lay down. The mattress even felt like it had a springy texture. For someone like us, who just wanted to relax at the hotel and explore a bit, this significantly impacted our travel experience. We stayed for four consecutive days, and every day felt like an endurance test; I even considered switching hotels for the last two days. Secondly, the shower. The overhead shower didn't work, so my 6'3” partner had to use the handheld showerhead, which was quite low, even for me. More importantly, the water temperature was unstable; for all four days, it kept fluctuating between hot and cold. Since showering isn't exactly the time to call for assistance, I just had to bear with it, dodging the water when it got too hot or too cold. Thirdly, breakfast and meals. Given the hotel's somewhat secluded location, I suggest they improve their dining options. On our first day, we had planned to enjoy a nice dinner, but there really weren't many choices. Also, for a resort hotel, breakfast ending at 9 AM is far too early. Even budget hotels like Hanting and Atour now serve until 10:30 or 11 AM. There were also some minor issues, like running out of complimentary water in the room. When we asked for more, the water provided wasn't the same brand as the original. Honestly, how much cost can they save by doing that? But it certainly detracts from the guest experience. I had initially hoped to make this hotel my go-to choice for future Dalian vacations, especially since it has its own small beach. I hope the owner collects guest feedback and focuses on optimizing the actual experience, especially considering the price point. This stay was definitely not as comfortable as the two days we spent in Shanhaiguan.

Wanghai Homestay at Dalian Venice Water City is a fantastic place to stay, especially for travelers looking for comfort and convenience at a great value. The rooms are modern, clean, and well-equipped, with thoughtful amenities like smart features and spacious beds that make the stay very comfortable. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the Venice Water City attractions, seaside, and nearby shopping areas, making it easy to explore without hassle. What really stands out is the friendly and helpful service. Staff are welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and pleasant experience throughout the stay. Overall, it offers a great balance of affordability, location, and comfort, making it a highly recommended choice for both short visits and longer stays in Dalian.

This hotel's location is genuinely brilliant, right in the city centre next to the Zhongshan subway and plaza, and for this price point, you really can't ask for better. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the language barrier (Google Translate sorted us out fine), and the cleaning team were lovely too. The room was decent and properly clean, I checked for dust and there wasn't any. However, the hotel is quite old, and there was some mould on the ceiling and in the bathroom and shower curtain. It didn't bother me personally, but worth noting, and a bit of spray would be great. That said, Dalian was incredibly humid when I visited in late August, so I suspect this is partly a climate issue. Even my own towels wouldn't dry properly. The place was quite busy, mainly Chinese customers, but they were quiet and discreet. Practical bits: they provide two bottles of water daily and disposable paper towels (which actually came in handy given the humidity). The room also had a washing machine (bring your own detergent) and you can hang clothes outside on the 9th floor veranda. There's a bus stop right outside with direct services to Xian Lu (shopping and basement food market) and the Transport University area night market, the subway goes straight to the airport, and you're walking distance from the main tourist spots like Russian Street, the old tram etc. Plenty of restaurants nearby too. And two convenience stores on ground floor. This place accepts foreign tourists and check-in was quick and easy. Internet was fast but slower in the evenings. Honestly, some of the complaints I've read here seem a bit harsh considering what you're paying. You get what you pay for, and at this price point in this location, I think it's fair value. I'd stay here again, especially if travelling on a budget. Thank you, we had a lovely time in Dalian!

The hotel on the golf course feels that it is mainly prepared for guests who come to play golf overnight. It is written as a five-star, but the facilities are actually a bit old. Facing the side of the course, the view is invincible, it is worth a trip for one night alone. The price is also very reasonable. The manager is very enthusiastic. Breakfast is a set meal, relatively simple and tastes good. The room is large, with a balcony and a bathtub. There is free bottled water, because it is a small bottle, so four bottles were given. Later, two bottles were sent. Insufficient: 1. The hot water flow in the shower is too small and the water temperature is low. The traffic below is a bit noisy in the morning.
