5-Star Hotels in Dalian

The overall stay exceeded our expectations! The environment was quiet and elegant, and the garden-style hot spring area was meticulously maintained. The hot spring water was natural and genuine, warm and soothing. After a soak, I felt completely relaxed, and all the fatigue from my journey vanished. The room was clean and spacious, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the private hot spring tub offered great privacy, which my child absolutely loved. The staff were warm, polite, and provided attentive and thoughtful service. The facilities were comprehensive. This place is perfect for both family trips and relaxing getaways. It offers great value for money, and I'll definitely choose it again for my next trip. Highly recommended!

I always stayed at this hotel for my business trips. This time, I brought my child and didn't hesitate to choose it again. It's a serviced apartment, and the room is huge. It comes with a washing machine and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The living room is super spacious, making it very convenient for working or doing homework, and my child loved it. Downstairs, there's also a billiard room, swimming pool, gym, and a kids' play area. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; they're enthusiastic and patient and always resolve any issues promptly. Highly recommended – I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit.

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.

After many years, I revisited Dalian. I looked at several hotels, but few met my expectations until I found this one. It boasts an unbeatable sea view, and you can enjoy the sunset right from your room and living room. The lobby is on the 66th floor, and the six elevators handle the traffic quite well, not feeling too crowded except during breakfast hours. The staff were proactive in greeting guests, and the cleaning was thorough. There's a small play area on the lobby floor, which was enough to entertain the kids. As for the hot water supply issue that many have complained about, it's perfectly fine if you manage your usage reasonably. Venice Water Town, World Architecture, and Donggang Fifth Street are all within walking distance, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Food delivery comes right up to your floor, which is super convenient. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and would stay here again if I have the chance.

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.

Staying in Dalian for a relaxed week, I chose the New World Hotel Dalian as my base, and the overall quality far exceeded my expectations. The hotel's design leans towards a retro style, with soft lighting in the hallways and quiet, secluded public lounge areas – perfect for a leisurely rest. Housekeeping standards are strict and well-regulated; guest rooms are thoroughly cleaned daily, with every nook and cranny wiped down, carpets regularly dusted and deodorized, and bedding changed for each new guest, free of stains or odors. The bathroom drainage worked perfectly, with no water accumulation issues. From the front desk check-in, the concierge guiding me and storing luggage, to the prompt room service for requested supplies, every department responded quickly. The swimming pool was well-maintained and clean, great for a family splash when free. The breakfast restaurant offered a fresh and diverse selection, with flavors suitable for all ages. Staff were not intrusive but were promptly available when needed. Located conveniently close to popular spots like Zhongshan Square and Donggang, it made getting around effortless. Overall, it offered a very comfortable experience for a longer stay.

Overall, my family and I had a very satisfying stay. Lynne was incredibly thoughtful; seeing that we had a child, she proactively offered complimentary children's toiletries, which was a lovely gesture. The room was clean, dust-free, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The breakfast offered a good variety suitable for all ages, and the hotel's quiet environment ensured a very peaceful night's rest. I genuinely recommend this hotel.

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.

If I had to describe the service in the hotel lobby in one word, it would be 'provincial'. When we checked in that day, there were two ladies at the front desk, Ms. Sun and Ms. Zhou. We had booked a three-night stay with three breakfasts, but these two 'provincial' women insisted that only two breakfasts were included, and their attitude was extremely dismissive. I asked them how many bottles of water were in the room – four. I then asked if they could send more if that wasn't enough, and the 'provincial' front desk staff looked at me with wide eyes and said they could only provide two more bottles. When they gave us our room cards, the numbers were scrawled like they were written by an illiterate elementary school student. This is a five-star hotel, but your lobby staff are truly third-rate, even 'from the village'. Looking at the hotel's negative reviews, many guests have complained about the quality of your lobby service. I've stayed at unrated hotels where the lobby staff provided first-class service. For a five-star hotel, your lobby staff's quality is second-rate. I suggest your hotel provide more training to improve the quality of your lobby service staff. Your service quality should match your reputation.

The rooms at the InterContinental are, as always, spacious. Although the fixtures and fittings are a bit old, they're clearly well-maintained. My only minor complaint is the faucet in the bathroom sink; I didn't like the way it operated. Also, with such a long countertop, it's a shame they didn't install two sinks when it was first renovated. The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk to Zhongshan Square. The buffet for hotel guests is excellent value for money and offers a good variety – definitely worth trying.
