Seaview Hotels in Dalian

I originally booked this hotel because it was right on the coast the views were stunning but i didn’t see till too late that I had accidentally chosen a room without windows I asked for an upgrade which wasn’t available on the first night but the room was clean and adequate for a night. The next day they very kindly upgraded me to a mountain view room for free which was much better. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside to this place is that it is quite far from downtown and most attractions but it is right next to the beach so that was nice.

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!

Family sea view room, with a king-size bed and a sofa bed, perfect for families with older children. The sea view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful. In the evening, the hotel organized a bonfire party and fireworks display, which the kids loved. It's very close to the beach, making it convenient to take children there. The hotel also provides sand-digging tools. Every staff member is dedicated; even the cleaning ladies in the hallway greeted us warmly. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety. The dinner buffet is a bit pricey, but the food quality is excellent. The staff at the buffet restaurant are all very nice, welcoming, and service-minded. Overall, a great experience!

The hotel and the room are more beautiful than in the photo. Amazing interior, incredible terrace, helpful girls at the reception, cute dog. We were lucky with the weather, the view is beautiful. The only negative is that it was difficult for us to explain ourselves, Russian guests rarely visit the hotel 🙈 There is a kettle and mugs in the room, but no tea or sugar, and we were not allowed to order a kettle of tea for a fee in the room. There is no cutlery either, but you can get it at the reception/in the shared kitchen) I would like to live in this place longer!!! An incredibly colorful area and hotel. If we are in Dalian again, we will definitely stay. We recommend it!!!

I stayed here many years ago, and the experience is as excellent as ever. I was at 'X' hotel across the street for the past two days, and moving here is a huge contrast. Ultimately, the service industry is all about soft power. When issues arise, it truly tests a hotel. The one across the street handled problems by simply shrugging off responsibility. But this castle hotel truly embodies the Marriott system. They are responsible, accountable, warm, and thoughtful. From the concierge to the front desk, and even the manager's approach to problem-solving – everything is highly professional.

I visited Dalian with my child and stayed at three hotels over four days. This one was by far the most disappointing. First, the location is indeed excellent. If you like the Xinghai Square area, this is a great place to stay. However, during peak season, try to avoid taking taxis at night as traffic gets really congested. That said, it's lovely to stroll around from early evening onwards. Further in, there are many stalls and even a beer festival. You can also wander around the vicinity, ride bumper cars, or take a ride on the illuminated boats. When you're tired, it’s convenient to walk just a short distance back to the hotel to rest. Secondly, for dining, there's a KFC and Starbucks nearby, as well as a popular internet-famous Xiding Dumpling restaurant (when I passed by around 3 pm, there was already a long queue; during meal times, scalpers were selling queue numbers). If you walk a bit further, there are also hotpot, Western restaurants, and home-style cooking options – plenty to choose from. The hotel's 46th-floor restaurant was genuinely good. Personally, I don't think ordering roast duck is necessary; the other dishes are also delicious. The stir-fried okra with foie gras was absolutely stunning. I don't know the name of the male manager who took our order, but he had a great attitude. He offered suggestions when we were ordering and checked on our experience after the meal. A small suggestion for the restaurant's ambiance and service: perhaps play some light background music. The whole dining experience felt a bit dry. We happened to catch the bridge light show, but there was no music, making the visual experience not as good as what we saw outdoors the day before. Also, for such a high-end restaurant, wouldn't offering a complimentary fruit platter after the meal be better? Even two slices of watermelon could enhance customer satisfaction. Another point is the hotel service. I'm giving it two stars because the overall service model aligns with a five-star hotel, but the execution and mindset were disappointing. For nearly twenty years, I've only stayed in five-star hotels or above, and my own living environment is surrounded by several five-star hotels. I frequently visit hotels, whether for coffee, a lobby bar, or the gym. A grand hotel should embody a grand demeanor. During check-in, they emphasized and asked me, ”Are you sure it's just you and your child checking in?” I didn't react immediately, but shortly after entering the room, a male staff member knocked on the door, saying he was delivering welcome fruit. After I opened the door, his eyes darted around, scanning the entire room, almost as if he wanted to come in and look around. He asked if he should bring it in for me or if I'd take it. I didn't think much of it at the time, just found him a bit strange. It wasn't until I closed the door that I realized what had happened: they had already prejudged us, assuming we were more than two people and might be trying to sneak others into the hotel. Ha ha. I understand that at your price point and location, such situations might occur, but that's no excuse for judging people based on appearances!

My stay at the Xulailai Qixi Seaview Resort Hotel during my trip to Dalian was an exceptionally great experience. The hotel's location is superb; I could see the vast ocean right from my window. Waking up to watch the sunrise and enjoying the sunset glow in the evening was breathtaking, offering expansive views and a wonderful ambiance. The room itself was spotless and tidy, with a fresh and elegant decor. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The amenities were complete, with stable hot water supply in the bathroom and all necessary toiletries provided. The staff were warm and friendly, responding to requests promptly and thoughtfully. They handled inquiries about travel and luggage storage with great care. The surrounding area offers convenient access for sightseeing; it's not far from seaside attractions, making walks and exploring very easy. Overall, the value for money is excellent. I had a comfortable and pleasant stay, and I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Dalian.

The room was a bit small, but the cleanliness was acceptable. I got a free upgrade to the 6th floor with a nice view! The hotel offered a complimentary beer, and bottled beer could be taken back to the room. I opted for draft beer, which had to be enjoyed on-site at an outdoor restaurant open from 6 PM to 10 PM. I arrived a little after 8 PM, and even though it was summer, the sea breeze was wonderfully cool. There was also a resident singer, creating a fantastic atmosphere! The hotel's back exit leads directly to Happy Coast Gate 4, with Gate 5 to the right and Gate 3 to the left. Plus, there were plenty of free fireworks displays by the sea to watch!!

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! 👍🏻

This hotel is right by the sea, and the location is truly excellent. The ocean is literally at your doorstep, and you can walk a few steps to a swimming beach. The room was very spacious too. We stayed for four days, and the front desk even upgraded us to an executive suite. The breakfast was also good, with Dalian sea prawns and delicious cold dishes. The only downside was the elevators. The system assigns which elevator you take, and first-time visitors have no idea how it works. This often leads to a lot of people getting stuck downstairs, and almost everyone complains about it. I hope the hotel can improve this.
