5-Star Hotels in Dalian

Our first stop in Dalian was this Holiday Inn, and it was an excellent experience. Our flight was delayed, and we didn't arrive until the early hours of the morning, but the staff member in black was incredibly attentive. Despite the late hour, they patiently helped us with check-in, explained all the facilities, and even offered to carry our luggage to the room. We were a family of three, and even though our room originally included breakfast for two, the hotel kindly added a third complimentary breakfast every day, which was a thoughtful touch. The room was clean and tidy, the hotel grounds were spacious, and it was convenient to get to the beach. As an international chain, Holiday Inn consistently delivers on quality, and I highly recommend it.

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!

Fantastic! A two-bedroom apartment that both the elderly, kids, and my family absolutely loved! They thoughtfully upgraded us to a sea-view room. Downstairs, you can see the Venetian Water Town at night, and it's really quiet, with no mosquitoes. The bedding and air conditioning were all comfortable! A washing machine, sofa, and fridge were all included. We stayed for three days straight, and when we moved to another place afterward, there was a noticeable drop in quality – we really should have just stayed here the whole time! Highly recommend for families with children or elderly members!

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!!

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.

Staying at Fraser Suites Dalian was an absolutely fantastic experience! The front desk staff were incredibly gentle and efficient during check-in, and very helpful in guiding me around. The room itself was clean, tidy, and much more spacious than a typical hotel room, with all the home comforts you could ask for. I really have to commend the housekeeping team – they were so thorough with their cleaning, and always spoke softly when entering the room. When I needed extra amenities last minute, they were delivered to my door very quickly. You can really feel their dedication in every detail. My entire stay was comfortable and reassuring. From the front office to housekeeping, all the staff were incredibly reliable. This is definitely a hotel I'd return to when I'm back in Dalian.

Our family stayed at the Dalian Xingzhijie Hotel and had an extremely satisfying experience overall. The lobby environment was simple and elegant, the public areas were clean and bright, and the rooms had excellent natural light and a comfortable layout. The cleanliness was impeccable, with soft and spotless bedding, and a bathroom with good wet/dry separation and no unpleasant odors. Even the corners and hard-to-reach spots were thoroughly cleaned, making our stay feel very secure. I must specifically commend the front desk staff and the duty manager. They were always responsive to our requests throughout our stay. This is truly the only hotel among Dalian's five-star establishments that genuinely helps guests resolve issues. Whether we asked about nearby tourist routes, borrowed items, or needed to adjust our check-in requirements last-minute, the staff patiently answered our questions, and the duty manager quickly coordinated a solution, responding promptly and thoughtfully. The daily housekeeping was meticulous and tidy, and the location was convenient for exploring with family or for short excursions. The attentive and thoughtful service made us feel incredibly welcome. We will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Dalian, and I'll be recommending it to others. The hotel front desk also offered cold drinks and juice, which was a lovely touch.

The experience at this hotel was good my daughter was so happy with the Balala fairy room she enjoyed herself so much, and many thanks to **** for checking up on us as we left the hotel, we loved the atmosphere the breakfast was absolutely amazing and the F&B manager went out of his way to make sure that we sat comfortably and we were served exceptionally well, whenever we come back to Dalian for our next vacation this hotel will be definitely be one of our choice among the many hotels that we will book 😀 I enjoyed my stay, and the reception stuff was very warm and friendly, the bed was absolutely comfortable considering the we traveled for well over 16 hours from our city. I definitely had a relaxed night. My husband rested well, and he was at ease.

Facilities: The bathroom was modern and comfortable, but the bedroom felt a bit dated. Cleanliness: As soon as I entered the room, I found a hair on the bed. Housekeeping definitely needs to step up their game. The hallway smelled awful, which is a real letdown for an InterContinental property. Given the value for money of an InterContinental suite at around 1000 during the summer, I'm giving it 5 stars. My room wasn't upgraded and breakfast wasn't included, so the true rating might be closer to 4.8 stars.

The hotel's location is great, near Zhongshan Square business district and not far from Venice Water Town, making it convenient for getting around. The facilities are quite comprehensive, with a swimming pool and gym, and the breakfast is abundant. However, the front desk service has a lot of room for improvement. The staff member who checked me in had a stern expression the entire time, without any warm or polite greeting. Furthermore, I booked my stay through several platforms for three consecutive nights, but the front desk insisted I reactivate my room key each day. This was not only a waste of time but also illogical. I hope they can improve this.
