Hotels With Pools in Shandong, China

Our trip to Qingdao was absolutely delightful! The hotel's location is fantastic; you step right out to a stunning view of the sea. Every single staff member was incredibly warm and attentive, especially our concierge, Lora. She checked in with us daily to ensure we were sleeping well and had everything we needed, even surprising us with a small gift. Lora is such a kind and beautiful lady, and she truly made our first trip of 2026 a wonderful experience. Plus, the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel offers an amazing view – having breakfast overlooking the ocean was incredibly relaxing!

Because my flight landed at Jiaodong Airport in the early hours of the morning, I pre-booked this Blossom Hotel, just a 5-minute walk from the terminal. It was an absolute lifesaver! The front desk lady, Seven, was incredibly gentle. Seeing me tired with my luggage, she proactively upgraded me to a quiet high-floor room and even thoughtfully reminded me about breakfast times. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was so soft it felt like sinking into a cloud, and the soundproofing was excellent – no noise from next door at all. I slept soundly until I woke up naturally! For anyone catching an early morning or red-eye flight, this place is definitely the best value for money around Jiaodong Airport! Next time I come to Qingdao, I'll definitely stay here again.

The Pullman Weifang is always my hotel of choice in Weifang, The European menu in the Cafe is a life saver serving anything from German sausages to burger or pizza to steaks. The buffet is equally good in the main restaurant where I enjoyed great lamb chops and drinks are included in the price which is a welcome relief. The hotel is located next door to a nice shopping mall and the rooms are large and spacious. The gym is extremely well kitted and the pool is amazing.

The room was clean and hygienic, and very close to the Taierzhuang Scenic Area, just 400 meters from the West Gate. The lovely receptionist warmly introduced the Taierzhuang tour itinerary and sent us the performance schedule and tourist map of the scenic area to our phones for easy viewing and reference. She also helped us carry our luggage upstairs and recommended affordable restaurants for us, repeatedly telling us to contact her if we needed anything. Before we left, she even gave us Shandong pancakes. The hospitable Shandong girl was warm and simple, making us feel at home.

I drove there, and when I turned into the parking lot in the afternoon, there were several cars in front of me, making it a bit chaotic. So I just turned right and parked on the ground level. Friends, remember to turn left for the underground parking entrance, it's next to the exit for ground parking. The lobby is on the 26th floor. The Christmas tree had colorful lights at night, which looked lovely. The front desk staff were all very nice and enthusiastic, as were the housekeeping staff. I might be a light sleeper, but I felt the soundproofing in the room was a bit poor. When someone talked in the hallway late at night, it felt like they were standing right by my bed. When someone rang the doorbell, I almost wanted to open the door and tell them to give them a call if they weren't getting an answer from inside. The room was okay, but the soundproofing really is an issue; definitely bring earplugs. The breakfast environment was decent, being on the 27th floor with good views outside. However, the food selection was very ordinary. Besides fried dough sticks, they even had fried pastries for breakfast. Maybe a group specifically requested these in advance. They fried a lot, which meant the smell was very strong. Eating breakfast there, you'd smell it as soon as you walked in, and the smell would still linger when you went back upstairs. It was the first time I'd had a breakfast at a star-rated hotel that felt like a street stall. It even felt like it wasn't worth the price. Anyway, you have to wear a coat in the restaurant, so you might as well just go to Wanda next door.

Arriving in Linyi, travel-worn from Tianjin, the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, all my fatigue quietly melted away. Traveling with a child always adds a layer of concern, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that every one of those worries was gently addressed by the thoughtful care here. The most delightful surprise was undoubtedly the unexpected room upgrade. Our originally booked room type was quietly upgraded to a more spacious and comfortable one. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows offered gentle views of Linyi's streetscape, feeling like an unexpected gift that instantly elevated the quality of our stay. This silent yet profound gesture of thoughtfulness made us, first-time visitors, feel truly at home and welcomed. This warmth was further exemplified and brought to life in the lobby bar. An employee named Shi Keqian, with her genuine smile and friendly demeanor, made a rich, aromatic handcrafted coffee that, with each sip, seemed to melt away the lingering travel fatigue. What warmed our hearts even more was her thoughtful attention to our child – she specially offered some delicate and adorable cookies. The smile on our child's face, clutching the cookies, was more captivating than any scenic view. Ms. Shi's genuine kindness wasn't just part of a service protocol; it was a heartfelt expression of hospitality that made this hotel feel less like a temporary lodging and more like the home of a warm and welcoming Linyi friend. On a separate note, the swimming pool and other facilities, including their service, were quite disappointing. After a swim, we found there was virtually no body wash or shampoo available in the showers. When we inquired, we were met with various excuses. This really detracts from the overall experience at such a large, high-star hotel!

The room was clean, spacious and beautiful. Fruits and yogurt were provided. The large window allowed you to see the Caozhou Peony Garden. A souvenir was given when you checked out. The breakfast and evening buffet had a wide variety of dishes, good quality, and was clean and hygienic. The waiter's service attitude was also good, which was great! It is close to the Caozhou Peony Garden and can be reached on foot. I will choose this place again next time I come.

The view is great and the stay was comfortable. However, the service was appalling… they made me wait for my room for 40 mins and did not checkup on me even though it’s been after the check in timing. In addition, there were wifi problems for a few nights and then the card had problems and we couldn’t access our floor. Moreover there were inconsistencies amongst staff communication — eg. I had packages arriving for a few days and on the first day someone said they can lend me a pair of scissors, on the second they said they have to open it up for me instead, on the third day they said the don’t provide this service of opening packages. LMAO. The room was perfectly fine, but if it’s marketed as a 5 star establishment then the service should also reflect that. The inconsistencies and problems that arose were genuinely frustrating and unprofessional.

THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY. Fantastic rooms, A buffet breakfast that puts all other hotels to shame. Would highly recommend staying here and I will be staying here on all my trips to China from now on.

Mindy from Guest Relations prepared our room in advance. It had floor-to-ceiling windows with a beautiful view of the city, and the night view of Quancheng Square was stunning. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient! It's only a ten-minute walk to Baotu Spring, and if you want some snacks at night, Furong Street is nearby. It was perfect to just stroll back after eating, no need to bother with a taxi.
