Guest UserMy stay at the Novotel Living Dalian Zhongshan Square with my little one was a fantastic surprise! The location is unbeatable; it's right next to Zhongshan Square with subway access right outside, making it super convenient for exploring and dining. The room was set up like an apartment, offering plenty of space and a full kitchen, which was a huge plus for heating up baby food.
What really stood out was how thoughtful the hotel was towards kids. During check-in, they proactively offered two sets of building blocks, which my child absolutely loved and kept them happily occupied, significantly reducing any fussing. The entire room was spotless, the floor-to-ceiling windows offered expansive views, and the soundproofing was excellent – my child's nap went undisturbed. The gym and self-service laundry room were incredibly practical, and the 24-hour front desk staff were gentle and patient, responding to any issues super fast. Combining hotel service with the comfort of home, it's definitely my top choice for family travel. I'll be staying here again on my next trip to Dalian!

Guest UserTraveling alone to a foreign place can be exhausting and lonely, but at Atour Hotel, I was deeply touched by the incredibly kind and gentle service from the front desk staff. It was truly the most memorable and moving warm moment of my trip.
After a long journey, I rushed through check-in. It was only later that I suddenly realized I had lost a precious souvenir charm – a priceless keepsake carrying cherished family memories. In that moment, panic and anxiety washed over me. The feeling of helplessness in a strange city instantly overwhelmed me, so I approached the front desk, hoping they might be able to help.
To my surprise, the staff member, Qiruo, showed not a hint of perfunctoriness or carelessness. She gently and patiently calmed my distressed emotions, softly reassuring me not to worry. Her kind words instantly soothed my inner turmoil. Following that, she was incredibly thorough and responsible, meticulously tracing my route. She proactively reviewed the CCTV footage from the lobby's public areas, repeatedly and carefully checking everything. She immediately contacted the cleaning and patrol staff to assist in the search, doing everything she could to help me find my lost item. Even in the middle of the night, when she could have been sleeping, she dedicated that time to helping me. She was like a good friend by my side!
During the long wait, she stayed by my side, constantly reassuring me, offering warm water to ease my anxiety, and patiently listening to my concerns. She was gentle, meticulous, and incredibly dedicated throughout, never showing any impatience despite the trivial nature of the matter. Persistence paid off, and thanks to her tireless efforts, my precious charm was finally found.
When the item was recovered, my heart was filled with emotion and gratitude. Afterward, she even thoughtfully reminded me to take good care of my belongings when traveling, a gentle detail that touched me deeply.
In a cold and unfamiliar journey, the most precious thing isn't a perfect environment, but this genuine warmth and kindness from the heart. Atour's service is never just a mechanical process; it's a heartfelt empathy and a sincere, warm commitment to treating people well. A seemingly ordinary job, yet through the purest kindness, it warms the hearts of every traveler.
This unexpected warmth dispelled all my travel fatigue and allowed me to truly understand Atour's unique human touch. From now on, I will always choose Atour for my travels, and I hope to always pass on this kindness and beauty!

First, the pros: The location is excellent, right in Donggang, next to Venice. You can walk to several popular spots nearby, feed seagulls, and it's very convenient to call a taxi. The concierge staff at the entrance were all fantastic, helping with car doors, closing them, and handling luggage. The front desk staff who checked me in also gave a detailed heads-up about the hot water usage. They even sent a birthday cake, which was a lovely gesture, but unfortunately, I came back too late that night and couldn't eat it. Room service for deliveries was also available.
Now, for the cons: It's definitely not a traditional five-star hotel as there's no pool or bathtub. And honestly, the water heater really needs an upgrade. When four people took turns showering in the evening, we had to wait at least an hour or more between each person.

Guest UserMy stay at the Lavande Hotel Dalian was fantastic! The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around, and the surrounding commercial area is well-developed, so dining and shopping were a breeze.
The room was spotless and odor-free, and the 'forest air purification system' made the air fresh and comfortable. The Mousse mattress was soft and supportive, ensuring a really sound sleep. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and the Bluetooth speaker was a nice touch, making shower time incredibly relaxing.
The front desk staff were warm, attentive, and very responsive. Check-in and check-out were handled efficiently. The breakfast buffet offered a rich variety of options, both Chinese and Western, and everything was nutritious and delicious.
Overall, it offered great value for money, with attention to detail and a refined, quiet environment. It's perfect for both business and leisure travelers. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Dalian!

Datablau LuluThe 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!

SHARON ZI 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.

ASUKAMThis stay was a truly pleasant surprise! From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I could feel a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff at the luggage storage were all very kind! The room was clean and tidy, beautifully decorated with a high-quality feel, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable – it was so relaxing to lie in bed after a long day. The housekeeping ladies who cleaned the rooms every morning were all very kind and friendly. The front desk staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request, making the entire check-in process smooth and pleasant. The hotel's attention to detail was also excellent, with complete facilities, providing an overall experience that was both comfortable and high-quality. What was supposed to be just an ordinary stay unexpectedly left me with such a great impression. I am extremely satisfied with this experience and have already listed it as my top choice for my next trip. This hotel is managed and operated with care and dedication – my first choice in Dalian!

Guest UserThe 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.

Guest UserAlthough the hotel is a bit old, it's still pretty good overall. The kids had a great time, and we could see Labor Park across the street. It's very close to Dalian Shopping Mall, just diagonally opposite the hotel, and the first floor of the mall is full of food options where you can buy souvenirs. You can also walk to Zhongshan Square.

KabumatianniThe location is great, making it convenient to get anywhere by taxi. Although the subway entrance is nearby, it doesn't have an elevator or escalator, so you have to climb stairs – something to keep in mind if you're traveling with elderly family members.
I originally booked a Huazhu or Atour hotel nearby, but my family prefers to eat breakfast at the hotel, so I switched to the InterContinental. It's definitely an older hotel, and you can still see its former grandeur.
The doorman was excellent; he always helped open doors and handle luggage when our car arrived. The front desk staff were very thoughtful and kept helping us change rooms to meet my family's preferences. The only minor inconvenience was the additional security deposit required upon check-in.
The room itself was very clean, but it lacked modern amenities like smart devices or a smart toilet. The TV was small and not high-definition, and the curtains looked quite old. On the positive side, the shower pressure was great and the water was hot. Having a bathtub in the room was a nice touch, perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. The bedding was soft and comfortable. The windows couldn't be opened directly; you had to call a staff member, but once open, you had a view of Friendship Square.
The hotel breakfast was quite good, with a wide variety of options. Many dishes were beautifully presented, like my favorite Eggs Benedict and the sea cucumber and rice dish.
There are many great small restaurants nearby, and you can discover quite a few good ones just by walking around the area.
