Beach Hotels in Dalian

I booked late, so I could only get a Quiet Room. The room was very clean, and the bedding was excellent. The front desk service was also good. This hotel has been open for many years. There are private rooms upstairs and a buffet downstairs. It's very close to the beach, and the Tongniu Mountain Scenic Area is right next to it. Overall, it was a great experience.

The environment and service were top-notch, making for a fantastic stay. The best part was that we arrived at 11 am because our room wasn't available yet, so we were just looking around the neighborhood. The receptionist called to let us know we could check into another room and even upgraded our room for free! The service was incredibly thoughtful. This will definitely be our first choice for any future trip to Dalian – absolutely amazing!

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.

My old parents came from Korea. We - 6 people - wanted to have a great memory during their stay in Dalian. Its location was perfect, sitting at the heart of fishermen s warf, but it was right after rain that things were humid. I should admit that for the peak time and prime location, it is a reasonable price and I blame the wet weather for some smelly environment. Should avoid wet weather. It is already right at the sea. Also, the price is as much as other 5 stars that are not in this location. There are lots of insta spots in and out of the hotel, so it is whether to put yourself at the top location with a bit reasonable price or modernized hotels like Hilton and intercontinental that are farther away and a couple of bucks more expensive.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The room offered a beautiful and stunning view of the cross-sea bridge light show. The 5th-floor sky garden is also a great spot for photos, and it's even where the 'Keep Running' episode with Angelababy's return was filmed! The hotel also has a pool and a gym, so the facilities are very comprehensive. The front desk staff provided service with a smile and the check-in process was efficient. After checking out, Dansey called to follow up and ask about my experience, which was a very nice touch.

The location is excellent for tourists, with the harbour and shopping centre just a short walk away. We especially loved the stunning views, both during the day and at night. The rooms are spacious, and the sound insulation between rooms is very good, making it a comfortable place to stay. There are a few drawbacks, however. The biggest issue is that there isn’t a separate guest bathroom. Guests staying in the two guest bedrooms need to use the master ensuite to shower, which isn’t very convenient. The bedrooms also don’t have blackout curtains, so they’re quite bright at night due to the neon lights outside, and the early sunrise (around 4:00 am) makes it difficult to sleep in. We also noticed an unpleasant odour coming from the bathroom drain, which persisted throughout our month-long stay. Overall, this is a very good place for a large family or group, particularly if you plan to cook your own meals and make use of the laundry facilities. With a few improvements, it would be an even better place to stay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an excellent stay at Grand Hyatt Dalian. The hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere, with beautiful ocean views and a great location. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with everything you would expect from a high-end hotel. The staff were warm, professional, and attentive, and the service throughout the stay was excellent. Breakfast was also very good, with a wide selection of quality options. Overall, a wonderful experience in Dalian. The combination of great service, comfortable rooms, and beautiful views made the stay very enjoyable. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel!

Particularly loved the room, it was clean and smelt good. However the built-in cabinets were hard to open for some reason they didn’t have any handle to open them easily. Quite a unique place and interior but we did not enjoy breakfast as it was downstairs near the beach area which literally smelt fishy and some flies were entering the cafe. The lounge area did not look well-maintained as well. The staff were very helpful and polite though. So overall it was a wonderful stay because right off the beach area the view was splendid! You could even watch seagulls peacefully at sunrise.

There aren't many hotel options at Jinshitan, and only a few good ones. After much deliberation, I chose Hard Rock. Overall, it's not the most luxurious, but the quality is decent and it offers good value for money. Let's start with breakfast. While the variety isn't huge, the quality is good, especially the coffee, which tasted great. There was always someone available to serve coffee. The room was very clean, and the sea view from the ocean-view room was excellent. Overall, the service from Yi Yangqianxi at the front desk was great, and I was satisfied with my room.

This luxury sea-view king room boasts an unbeatable location. From the window, I could gaze out at Donggang's sea and the Musical Fountain Plaza. Lying in bed, watching the sunrise paint the sky with early morning ferries passing by, the floor-to-ceiling window felt like a living painting! To the right, the yacht marina offered views of white yachts sailing into the distance and returning against a backdrop of blue skies and seas. The room itself was spacious and bright, and both the towels and bedding were impeccably clean. The hotel offers two breakfast options. The 38th-floor sea-view restaurant, while not having a huge variety, more than makes up for it with its stunning views. The noodles were good, the beef brisket was tender and flavorful, and the onsen egg was delicious. Alternatively, there's the breakfast restaurant on the first floor, shared with the adjacent Hilton, which is directly accessible from the lobby. This one has an incredibly extensive selection. Unlike the quiet elegance of the 38th-floor restaurant, this spot is bustling with life and offers an amazing array of choices, especially Chinese dim sum – lamb soup, jianbing guozi (savory crepes), tofu pudding, noodles… Western options are also plentiful, with croissants that were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and rich with buttery flavor, plus three espresso machines for fresh coffee. Beyond the excellent facilities, the front desk staff and the doormen were all incredibly friendly and helpful! 👍🏻
