Guest UserOur stay at the Shangri-La Jinan was a fantastic experience. We decided to visit Jinan on a whim and, trusting the Shangri-La brand, booked the hotel on the very day of our arrival. The front desk attendant kindly upgraded us to a room with a better view. Overlooking the cityscape of Baotu Spring and Quancheng Square, the room offered an amazing view.
The hotel is situated in the prime location of Quancheng, right across from Quancheng Square. Baotu Spring and Wulongtan (Five Dragon Pool) are within walking distance, and Daming Lake and Kuanhouli are also very close by, making it extremely convenient to explore Jinan's core attractions. In addition, all the staff we encountered were very friendly. We arrived late at night, and when we needed temporary children's amenities, extra pillows, and blankets, housekeeping delivered them promptly. A really great experience.

I absolutely loved the service at this hotel! I was traveling with my dog, so I specifically looked for a pet-friendly hotel. To my surprise, when I checked in, I received a package of dog treats (a pack of Crazy Dog chicken jerky). I also told the front desk staff that I hoped to find a room where my dog wouldn't disturb others (because if it's too close to the elevator or an outside area where people pass, my dog might bark). The staff found me a very quiet room, and my dog barely made a sound! Plus, all the staff members were incredibly friendly towards animals. The room itself was typical Atour – very clean and comfortable. And the surprises kept coming! When we checked out, the front desk staff heard we were driving and even gave us a special little driving gift package! All in all, this hotel truly warmed my heart!

Guest UserI specifically chose a high-floor sea-view room for this trip, and it was wonderfully cool. Being able to see the ocean every day was fantastic! The room was clean, the environment was comfortable and cozy, and the staff were warm and attentive. The facilities were also safe and reliable! Highly recommend!

Guest UserI brought my child to Yantai and was extremely satisfied with our stay at this Hilton. It's a proper sea-view room, with the ocean right outside the window. Both the night view and the daytime scenery are beautiful, with layers of waves rolling in and out—it's truly wonderful. The hotel has excellent soundproofing; it was very quiet at night, almost no noise at all, so we had a great night's sleep. The room was spacious, and the bedding and towels were soft, white, and completely odorless. The staff, especially Anina, were friendly and always greeted us warmly. They were also patient in answering any questions we had. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast had a wide variety of fresh ingredients. It's served until 11 AM, so there's no rush to wake up early; you can sleep in. There's both above-ground and underground parking, and it's free for guests. Overall, I'm very satisfied and highly recommend it!

Guest UserOverall, this hotel offers a great experience. Its convenient location makes getting around and finding places to eat easy. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and I slept very well. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was efficient. The facilities are well-maintained, and the bathroom had consistent water pressure. The only drawback is the average soundproofing; you can occasionally hear noise from the hallway. It offers good value for money and is suitable for travelers. I would consider staying here again on my next visit.

Guest UserWe had a wonderful stay! Matt provided attentive and thoughtful service. The hotel is in a prime downtown location, right by Exit E of the May Fourth Square subway station, making it very easy to get around. We were a group of six traveling over the Golden Week holiday and booked three rooms in total. We contacted the front desk in advance to request that our rooms be on the same floor. Despite the hotel being fully booked for the holiday, The Westin went above and beyond to accommodate us—including flexibly upgrading one of our deluxe suites to a studio suite with partial sea views on the same floor. We were thoroughly impressed!
The front desk staff, restaurant crew, and housekeeping team were all warm, welcoming, and greeted us with smiles throughout our stay. They even sent complimentary local Qingdao specialty drinks to our rooms, truly living up to 5-star standards. The swimming pool was not crowded at all; the water temperature was comfortable, and there were several warm whirlpools—perfect for an evening workout or just unwinding. The breakfast buffet was decent: the dining area was spacious, and seating was well-organized. However, given the price point, it would have been even better if there were more pastry and dessert options.

Guest UserThe front desk service was attentive and thoughtful. Yulai at the front desk processed my check-in and check-out quickly. The hotel is conveniently located near a commercial area, subway, and bus stops, and they even recommended some great local food. The room came with complimentary water and basic toiletries, showing great attention to detail. The room hygiene is truly commendable – the bedding was clean and tidy, and the bathroom was fresh with no unpleasant odors. The front desk staff were polite and professional, responding quickly whenever I needed help, making for a worry-free and comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of choices, and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to my next stay!!!

Pros:
1. The hotel's location is excellent, with a courtyard, a luxurious environment, and ample parking. The service attitude is superb, and it's very clean. We even got a free upgrade to a suite, and each room has a bathtub.
2. Some negative reviews mentioned that water needs to be paid for. I did see the 15 yuan per bottle Nongfu Spring, but you can always ask the hotel for free bottled water. I asked for two bottles and they brought four, no charge.
3. Negative reviews also mentioned a strange smell in the rooms. This time, I noticed silicone covers on all floor drains and an air freshener in the bathroom, so I didn't detect any unpleasant odors.
4. I didn't find the bedding to be unclean, as some negative reviews stated.
Areas for Improvement:
1. Things got a bit eerie at night. At 10 PM, the TV suddenly turned on by itself and the volume went to maximum. The remote couldn't control it, and the power outlet for unplugging was out of reach. A staff member came to resolve it after 10 minutes by unplugging it.
2. The light switch control is a bit clunky. It's either all lights on or all lights off. During the day, if you just want to turn off the lights to sleep, the curtains also close, making it completely dark. It would be good to have a small night light and separate controls for curtains and lights.
3. The mattress is very soft; you sink right into it. This might not be an issue for those who like it.
4. There's a red motion-sensor light directly above the bed, diagonally. I didn't know what it was at first, but when I turned over in my sleep, it would light up, and the same happened when my partner moved. It startled me quite a bit.
5. The air conditioning wasn't on, but for some reason, the vent would make a mechanical braking sound intermittently.
These issues didn't affect my rest, and I hope the hotel can improve them. I would still consider staying here again next time.

For the first few days of my stay in Qingdao, I booked the compact single room. This time, for two days, I tried the double-bed room with a table and a large window, and it is really excellent for the price.
The room is extremely clean and has all the basic amenities such as a shower, dental kit, and towels. One small difference is that instead of traditional cloth towels, they provide disposable paper-fiber towels. The room is also much more spacious than the single room, even though the price increase is very small. I paid about 55 RMB for the smaller room, while this room cost around 63–64 RMB, but the size is almost double.
The room has a very large window facing the road in front of the hotel. I expected it to be noisy, but surprisingly it was not. There are many power outlets and switchboards, which makes it convenient for charging phones or laptops. The room also has a large TV, along with a table and chair where you can comfortably sit and work.
The staff, as I mentioned earlier, are extremely friendly. By the end of my stay, they almost felt like friends. If you order food or buy items from e-commerce platforms like Jingdong or Taobao, the staff will collect the packages and store them safely on the first floor. Sometimes the delivery person will even bring the order directly to your room.
I stayed on the fourth floor, and the room was very well maintained and spotless. It also includes a hairdryer and hangers. The room I booked had two beds, so if you are traveling with a colleague for business, this is a great option.
The location is not extremely central, but it is still convenient. The nearest subway station is about a 10–15 minute walk, which was not a problem for me. There are also several convenience stores nearby where you can quickly buy snacks or basic items.
Overall, the room is very well maintained, extremely clean, and free of dust. If you are visiting this part of the city, this hotel is definitely a good option to consider.

我在青岛住宿的前几天订的是紧凑型单人房。这一次我住了两天,订的是带桌子的双床房,并且有一个很大的窗户。以这个价格来说,这个房间真的非常不错。
房间非常干净,而且配备了基本的设施,比如淋浴、牙具和毛巾。需要说明的一点是,他们提供的不是传统的布毛巾,而是一次性的纸纤维毛巾。相比之前的小单人房,这个房间的空间要大得多,而价格只稍微贵一点。之前的小房间大约是55元人民币,而这个房间大约是63到64元人民币,但房间的面积几乎是之前的两倍。
房间有一个很大的窗户,面向酒店前面的马路。我原本以为会比较吵,但实际上并没有想象中那么吵。房间里有很多插座和开关,给手机或笔记本电脑充电都很方便。房间里还有一台很大的电视,以及一张桌子和椅子,可以坐下来工作。
正如我之前提到的,酒店的工作人员非常友好。到我离开的时候,我们几乎已经像朋友一样。如果你点外卖或者从京东、淘宝等电商平台购买东西,工作人员会帮你收包裹,并把它们安全地放在一楼。有时候外卖员也会直接把东西送到你的房间。
我住在四楼,房间维护得很好,非常干净,没有灰尘。房间里还配有吹风机和衣架。我订的这个房间是双床房,如果是两个人出差一起住,这是一个非常不错的选择。
酒店的位置不算特别中心,但也算方便。最近的地铁站大约需要步行10到15分钟,对我来说完全不是问题。附近也有一些便利店,可以很方便地买一些吃的或日常用品。
总体来说,这个房间维护得很好,非常干净。如果你来到这个城市的这个区域,这家酒店是一个非常值得考虑的选择。
