Hotels with balcony in Dalian

I stayed in Dalian for three nights and chose Qing Song Ya Ju, which is right by Xinghai Square. It's only a few dozen meters from the sea, and Xinghai Square is a 10-minute walk away. The location is absolutely fantastic! 👍 I stayed in the Yuzhou room, and the view from the window overlooked the main section of Xinghai Bridge. When the lights came on, the scenery was incredibly beautiful. If you want a great view of the bridge, this is the room to pick. The hotel has been open for two years, and I was surprised by how spacious and clean the room was. As a picky Virgo, I can confirm the cleanliness was top-notch; my fellow clean-freak friends can book with confidence! 🥳 Finally, I have to mention the concierge. He was super thoughtful; seeing that we were hot and tired after exploring all evening, he even brought us ice-cold beers 🍻 – so nice!

A good hotel is key to a successful trip! This hotel is very close to Xinghai Square, and across the bridge is an amusement park. The paths are flat, perfect for strollers or 'baby walkers' (though the area right outside the hotel entrance has cobblestones, which can be a bit bumpy for strollers). The room environment is excellent. We are a family of five – four adults and one child – and stayed in the 'Star Blue' room, which was perfectly spacious. It had a 1.8m bed downstairs plus a tatami mat upstairs, and even a single sofa that could be used for sleeping. The space felt generous. There's also a private little courtyard where you can hang kids' clothes to dry (as long as it's not raining). The hotel has a laundry room with a dryer, so no more bringing dirty clothes home!

I always stayed at this hotel for my business trips. This time, I brought my child and didn't hesitate to choose it again. It's a serviced apartment, and the room is huge. It comes with a washing machine and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The living room is super spacious, making it very convenient for working or doing homework, and my child loved it. Downstairs, there's also a billiard room, swimming pool, gym, and a kids' play area. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; they're enthusiastic and patient and always resolve any issues promptly. Highly recommended – I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit.

The hotel's exterior is magnificent, like a castle. I booked a sea view room, and the ocean view from the window was beautiful. Even though it's by the sea, the room was surprisingly dry; my swimsuit dried completely within a day. I was a bit anxious after reading reviews about long queues for breakfast, but when I got there, I found that before 8 AM, there's usually no queue. Plus, staff members directly seat you and place a reserved sign, which is a nice touch. In some hotels, even if there's no queue when it's busy, not finding a seat and having to wander around with your plate is even more awkward. Now for the good parts, there are two downsides I hope the hotel can improve. First, the hotel's Chinese restaurant is really expensive, and there's a service charge, but the taste and service were truly underwhelming. I had originally planned to just eat at the hotel every day, but after one meal, I realized it didn't even meet expectations for taste or value for money – it failed on all three counts. Secondly, for a hotel at this price point, charging for a can of Coke and a bottle of juice in the mini-fridge seems unnecessary. Many five-star hotels even offer a full selection of expensive drinks for free, along with complimentary fruit and snacks, but here they charge extra, which comes across as a bit petty.

It was very nice and quiet. Close to the beach and restaurants were just across the street. Golden pebble beach was 5 mins walk away. I wonder why Golden Pebble beach isn’t so lively on Dragon Boar festival. There were things to do but the shops near the beach never opened. But it was okay as we enjoyed just taking a walk and we liked that it wasn’t so crowded. Can hang near the beach at night in peace. Maybe buy some fireworks and light it up yourself. Also, we thought the service in the hotel needs to improve when it comes to giving customers what they need in the room. We asked for water but it was never brought to us. We just bought water by ourselves. Good side: the receptions can speak English. The place itself is like a mini mansion. European style kind of houses. Inside a gated community with orange roofs. Very pleasant and quiet.

The best hotel of our trip, absolutely loved it! The design is just incredible. **Location:** Since I was traveling with my 12-year-old, convenience to attractions was a key factor. I hadn't really researched it when booking, but after staying, I found it super convenient for getting to the nearby Forest Zoo (I'll write a separate guide for that later), Lotus Mountain, Haida Tunnel, Cross-sea Bridge, and Xinghai Square. **Environment:** Built on Lotus Mountain with unique architecture, so the views and scenery are unparalleled. **Facilities:** The room and amenities were all very complete. The only downside was that there was an event in the sky garden one night, so we couldn't enjoy the night view, but otherwise everything was great. **Pool:** I went for a swim every day. It was great for exercise and I could also use the steam room, which was very relaxing. **Gym:** Lots of equipment, but not many people actually working out – more guests were there for a holiday. **Shuttle service from the foot of the mountain:** Very convenient! Although the journey isn't far, it saved a lot of time and effort. There were always hotel guests waiting there. **Hotel photoshoot (3 retouched digital photos, requires 24-hour advance booking):** We did this on our last morning, and it was incredibly efficient! Started shooting at 9 AM, finished by 9:20 AM (we couldn't shoot outdoors due to the weather). We then waited 5-10 minutes to choose the photos. Every shot was beautiful, and I reluctantly paid extra for 10 more. **Breakfast:** Very extensive, and the specialty sea buns and 'dirty' buns were absolutely delicious! **To sum it up:** You get what you pay for!

The room is very clean, the accommodation is very comfortable, all public facilities can be used, you can tell the landlord’s aunt anything; The landlord’s aunt was very enthusiastic and personally received us. It was very late when we arrived, but the aunt personally sent us to the nearby night market to buy dinner; It is close to the port and the traffic is more convenient.

I arrived in Dalian just as a typhoon hit, and it was raining all the way from the airport to the hotel. I was feeling a bit down after getting drenched, but when I got to the front desk, the staff upgraded my standard double room to a family room for free. That instantly cheered me up and made my mood much better! The room was huge and even had two bathrooms. Plus, we got to see the fireworks show from Discoveryland across the way both nights, which was totally worth it! 👍🏻 On the first night, a hornet flew into our room, and the staff handled it very promptly. 👍🏻 The hotel is also very close to the beach, so overall it was a very chill stay.

The room is spacious and well-designed. The ground-floor room comes with a lovely private courtyard where you can sit or lie down, facing the sea which is just 100 meters away – truly a perfect 'staring-at-the-sea' room. You can even walk directly from your courtyard in your bikini to go beachcombing or swimming. There are plenty of complimentary snacks in the room. All in all, I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

We stayed at this hotel from September 2nd to September 19th. There's no sign because it's a residential building. We asked the taxi driver to call, and the manager, Victor, came and spoke Russian! We asked for dishes. The bed was clean, but there was no cleaning service, but there was a washing machine! Hot water 24/7, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet paper, disposable brushes, a hairdryer, a kettle, and a microwave. They brought dishes, electric pots for cooking, and a refrigerator. Rubber and disposable slippers. Infrastructure: Buses: leave the hotel and immediately turn left to the intersection, then left again. Route 49 goes to the Zoo and Rakushka Beach. Metro: leave the hotel and turn left to the intersection and then right! Walk a little and it will become a street-alley; there's a metro sign on the road! And where the metro is, it's on your right... but to the left there are a bunch of other buses. I think it's better to arrive at the 16 to Venice right around lunchtime, get off at the Galleries shopping center, and then walk according to the map... You need to see this miracle both day and night, a gondola ride is 60 yuan per person). Opposite the hotel there is fruit and a fruit store. The supermarket is on the right, the entrance is down the escalator. The supermarket is small, but has everything, we also bought aqua shoes there, we cooked ourselves, so we bought meat, fish, and potatoes... the only thing they have is vegetable oil in 5 liters... we bought 1 liter in another store for almost 300 rubles... there is sugar... a lot of delicious yogurt, shrimp are 25 yuan per 1 kg, we bought them almost every day, don't confuse them with mole crickets! They are 55 yuan per 1 kg and I don't like them. But I confused them once. There are finished products, but not much. A shopping street with food and fruit, which we are used to... we are from Blagoveshchensk, Amur region, across the river. We see Chinese people on the Amur... in the morning and evening there is a whole street of food... nothing like that here! There is a market: this is if you go there or walk to the Roosevelt shopping center, then on the way... we just walked... you will pass such a market... lots of fruit, meat, fish, greens, etc. The toilet is at the entrance to the left. The sea: from the hotel past the supermarket to the end of the block and... you can go left or right, you will still come to the sea, but! We went to the right... walk a little about 300 meters, probably cross the road and see an alley-lane with a city always walking there... you will walk past dachas... these are gated residential buildings with security and come out to the sea where there are fewer people. The beach is pebble, the tide is low at lunchtime, so Aqua shoes are a must!!! They cost 15 yuan in the store, the beach is not equipped! No umbrella, you can even buy a sunbed. The Chinese are setting up tents, but we only had a regular umbrella with us from the rain... It's certainly better not to take valuables to the beach. But sometimes I took my phone and left a little money, and no one ever took anything. But it's better not to do that. The hotel is located on Xinghai Square, which is sort of divided into two parts, so on the left are the attractions, on the right are the Oceanarium and the Ferris Wheel. (40 yuan)... I liked the Oceanarium... you can buy pearls for cheap... earrings for 99 yuan, and the main attraction for me... feeding the penguins!!! 200 yuan, but... it's amazing! They give you a down jacket and gloves... a bucket of fish juice... a guy will hold a flashlight and film you on your phone... I haven't regretted it at all! It's expensive, but worth it! Buy a combined ticket to 4 museums! A photo of your passport in your phone is required: If you're traveling with a pensioner... I understand tickets are 50% cheaper, and they also count children by age. Rakushka Beach and the beach across the street from the Zoo have sand! They're also not equipped...you can only rent a large umbrella. And then you have to take two buses from the hotel...taxi fares are about 16-20 USD. In Russia, download Alipay...put money in there...preferably a small amount so it doesn't get blocked...by the way, Viktor was asked, he sent us money, and we gave him cash. Alipay has DiDi taxis; they're cheaper than hailing one. The Chinese don't speak English!!! A translator will help. Buy a Chinese SIM card and a paid VPN, and everything will work for you. I recommend checking out the ”Running Dumpling” cafe...it has a red sign and a picture of a dumpling with legs and arms...and the ”Snegovichok” ice cream chain has a picture. The rice chain also has a red sign and the first hieroglyph looks like the letter ”Z.” There's a German cafe on Xinghai and Venice; I sent you a photo and recommend it!
