Cheap Hotels in Jinan

"This is an older, well-established hotel located right next to Jinan West Railway Station. The rooms are nice and fully equipped, and the public areas are spacious. The breakfast offers a good variety. Being next to Jinan West Station, it's incredibly convenient to walk to the station, which is a huge plus for anyone traveling from there. The area around Jinan West Station is quite lively, and despite being a new district, it has plenty of shopping and dining options. The only downside is that it's a bit far from Jinan's traditional tourist attractions, about a 30-minute drive or taxi ride, which could be longer on holidays. However, with subway access, it's still manageable. The hotel has a small, free outdoor parking area, which is a small traffic circle with limited spaces. The underground parking is shared, so you'll need to get a validation ticket from the front desk each time. The rooms are spacious, though the design clearly shows its age. The lighting is a bit dim, and there are no adjustable light modes. Still, overall, it's very good, offering a safe, umbrella, and refrigerator. Unlike newer hotels with thick, firm mattresses, the twin beds here have moderately soft and incredibly bouncy mattresses, making for a very comfortable sleep. During my stay, Jinan's weather was pleasant, and sleeping with the windows open was just right; sometimes I even needed to close them at night, which was nice. The bathroom features a convenient double-sink design, and the shower has excellent water pressure. The water temperature is surprisingly amazing, which is a big plus for a high-rise building. The rainfall showerhead is installed in the ceiling, and the water still feels hot when it reaches you – truly fantastic! This alone sets it apart from many other high-rise hotels. Breakfast is served on the second floor of the hotel, starting quite early at 6:30 AM. However, at this time, some preparations are still underway, and not all dishes are fully ready, so it's better to go around 7:00 AM. The breakfast restaurant is very large and has plenty of tables. The breakfast selection is quite rich, but surprisingly, they don't offer Jinan's famous 'Bazi Rou' (braised pork), which is a bit unusual for a hotel in Jinan. They provide several hot dishes, which are well-prepared but not particularly outstanding. There's a live cooking station for wontons and noodles; the noodles vary daily, but the sauce tends to be a bit bland. They also have a unique 'egg bun' (similar to an omelet) at the fried egg station. They don't usually make it proactively, but you can ask a staff member to prepare it for you on the spot, which takes about 3 minutes. If you pair it with bacon, sausage, and beans, you've got a classic Western breakfast. The drinks offered at the restaurant are good, and with ice, they're even better. The hotel service is also on point. Both the front desk and restaurant staff are efficient, especially the restaurant staff who are constantly cleaning and tidying up. The front desk staff even personally delivered takeout to my door when the robot was busy, which is truly commendable."

"Huge thanks to Blair, the Guest Relations Manager, for arranging such a wonderful room! The room was spacious and grand, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offering a great view. The InterContinental exclusive mattress was soft and comfortable against the skin, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a completely undisturbed rest. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area and came with a large standalone bathtub; the amenities were high quality. The entire room was well-equipped and clean, with a mini-bar and smart curtains all included. The decor was understated yet luxurious, with attention to detail. The service was thoughtful and attentive, and the hotel's central location made it convenient for getting around and shopping. It's perfect for both business and leisure travelers."

"The location of the room is absolutely fantastic! It's only a two-minute walk to Baotu Spring, so after a tiring tour, you can easily pop back to the room for a rest. The breakfast on the first floor of the hotel is also very extensive, and the lunch is incredibly good value for money – seriously, it's amazing! Shandong's prices are simply unbeatable."

"Due to a change in plans, I found myself back in Jinan, and my first thought was to stay at your hotel again. It's incredibly convenient being so close to the airport, and the shuttle service makes travel stress-free 🚕 (a special shout-out to the shuttle drivers, who are always super friendly and give helpful reminders to guests). The breakfast is incredibly generous for a hotel in this price range ☕️👍. When I returned this time, the check-in was handled by the 'Front Desk Manager 💓,' who provided excellent service. As a returning guest from out of town, we even received welcome fruit, which was a lovely gesture and showed the hotel's sincerity. Overall, it was a fantastic and thoughtful experience 👍👍👍."

"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."

"Whenever I travel for business or leisure, I always choose Atour or HUAZHU Hotels. This time, I was in Shandong and picked this Atour S near the scenic area. **Facilities**: It's got all the standard Atour amenities, fully equipped, and a bit larger than your average standard room. **Cleanliness**: The room was very clean and met our expectations. The only minor issue was a slight dampness, which was probably due to the recent heavy rain. It just needed some ventilation with the window open. **Environment**: Right outside the door is Quancheng Square, and a few hundred meters to the right is Baotu Spring. To the left, also a few hundred meters, is Henglong Plaza. The signs also pointed to Daming Lake, but we didn't go because of the rain. **Service**: All the front desk staff we encountered were excellent – very responsive and helpful with all our requests and questions. This is the first time in years a hotel has offered us an extra breakfast, and by the way, the breakfast was good too!"

"The hotel's service quality is excellent. From the front desk staff to the F&B and housekeeping teams, everyone provided proactive and professional service, patiently answering all our questions about dining, accommodation, and transportation. The room facilities are complete, and the hotel also offers breakfast, self-service laundry, and Wi-Fi, which greatly convenient for both leisure and business travelers. A very pleasant stay overall."

"I slept very well, but the night shift front desk lady had a really poor attitude, nowhere near as good as the one who checked me out in the morning. I'm not giving a low rating because I hope there can be some staff training to improve the hotel. Overall, the hotel is still quite good."

"This hotel has the classic charm and grand atmosphere of an older establishment. While it's been around for a while, it's very well-maintained. The only minor drawback was the small TV. The room was very quiet, and as a non-smoking room, there was no lingering smell. It's very close to the Olympic Stadium but a bit further from the gymnasium, about a ten-minute walk. It's also conveniently located near Metro Line 3, which offers a direct connection to Jinan East High-Speed Rail Station. Overall, I was very satisfied with everything, especially since I was there to see Jordan Chan's concert."

"I specifically chose this hotel for my business trip, and I've stayed here several times before. The location is incredibly convenient, with plenty of dining options and easy access to transportation. The bedding is soft and breathable, and the mattress offers excellent support, so after a busy day, I can just lie down and get a good rest. The front desk staff are warm and attentive. Lorna, the guest relations manager, even made a thoughtful follow-up call after I checked out. Any requests are handled quickly, patiently, and considerately. The value for money is great, and I'll definitely prioritize booking this hotel for future business trips. It's really good."
