Romantic Hotels in Shandong, China

I'm reviewing this quite strictly because it's priced the same as the five-star hotel next door. The room and facilities are relatively new, spacious, and very clean. The linens were all comfortable to use. The location and view are also excellent. Here are the downsides I'd like to highlight: The design details of various facilities in the room are quite average. For example, the shower head on the wall couldn't be adjusted, so you had to hold it, and it took a long time for hot water to come out. It was nice that laundry detergent pods were provided with the washing machine, but there was nowhere in the entire room to hang clothes. I suggest adding a retractable clothesline in the shower room. The room's air conditioning and ventilation system didn't work well. It felt stuffy and hot during the May Day holiday, and there was still a noticeable odor in the room, so I had to keep the windows open for ventilation throughout my stay. The TV had no free channels, everything had to be paid for, but thankfully, I could cast from my phone. The breakfast was probably on par with a three-star hotel and needs improvement.

The room is great, very clean and comfortable. Every time I come to the beach to enjoy the scenery or for a trip, I choose Wutong. Even if I don't want to go out, I can still enjoy a fantastic view from the room, which is perfect for a lazy person like me who doesn't like to move around much~ The staff at the front desk, both the ladies and gentlemen, are very friendly and always quick to help with any questions I have~

I traveled alone to Yantai and planned to take the 8:59 high-speed train to Rizhao from Yantai Station on May 20th. So, on May 19th, I chose to stay at the Lijing Coast Hotel (Yantai Railway Station Joy City Store), which is only about 800 meters from Yantai Station. It's also right next to the Yantai Bus Terminal, making transportation incredibly convenient. When I entered the room, I found it very clean and tidy, with a trendy and modern design! The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and the shower had strong, hot water. From the bed, I could enjoy beautiful views of Yantai, and the large bed was incredibly comfortable. There was also a sofa and a coffee table. Free Wi-Fi and free parking were a plus. I could easily use my portable computer that I brought with me. Downstairs, there are many restaurants nearby, and it's not far from the beach – very convenient! On the morning of May 20th, it was pouring rain at 7:30 AM. I called a Didi (ride-hailing service), and even with waiting and traffic, it took only 20 minutes to get to Yantai Station. The hotel also has a ground-level parking lot right at the entrance, so the car could pull up directly to the lobby. The lobby staff proactively helped me with my luggage, and I didn't get wet at all before getting into the car. Arriving at Yantai Station, I felt so lucky I had chosen to stay at the Lijing Coast Hotel! I will definitely choose it again next time I visit Yantai!

Seriously recommend this hotel! Honestly, the price is just astounding 🥹. The facilities are new, the service is excellent, and it's close to the beach, making it super convenient for getting around. Driving to any destination is a breeze. Weihai is simply amazing! This was the most satisfying hotel during our entire 7-day trip!

Location: The hotel is conveniently located near Yan'an Third Road subway station. If you take Exit D, there's a commercial area right outside with plenty of dining and shopping options, and the hotel is directly across the street. If you take Exit A, it's a few minutes' walk east, and you'll pass a 7-Eleven on the way. The subway provides easy access to all the major attractions, and Vientiane City is only about a fifteen-minute walk away. It's also a pleasant stroll to May Fourth Square after dinner. Service: The staff are warm, attentive, and greet children kindly, making them very approachable. The front desk efficiently handled check-in, was very helpful in answering questions, and housekeeping responded quickly to our requests. It truly lives up to its reputation as a long-standing hotel; the service is excellent. Environment: Upon entering, you'll find the front desk. While checking in, family members can wait in the adjacent lounge area. The overall style is spacious and tidy. We booked a family suite, which had two single beds in the living room and a king-size bed in the bedroom, plus a bathroom with a double vanity. The space was quite suitable for a family of four. The room offered a great view of the sea and distant office buildings, and at night, we could enjoy the spectacular changing lights. The family suite also came with a children's building block table, sand play tools, and a small tent. Restaurant: The variety of food is rich. For those dining before 10 AM, the staff will give a friendly reminder before service ends and even pack small tomatoes in a box for the children, which was a thoughtful touch. Facilities: The hotel is quite old, and the facilities are indeed a bit dated, showing their age. Hygiene: The cleanliness of the children's building block table definitely needs improvement. Considering it's promoted as a family suite, we found cigarette ash and thick dust in the toys, and a red, blood-like stain on the small tent. Housekeeping promptly cleaned it. After my child played with the toys and tent in the afternoon, their eyes became uncomfortable that evening, with a noticeable increase in green discharge, clearly a bacterial infection. The next day, their eyes were swollen and matted shut when they woke up. Luckily, I had eye ointment which I applied, and my child's condition improved by the third day. However, then my own eyes started to become red and infected... Five days later, my eyes are still bloodshot. I followed up with the hotel about the situation, and Ms. Meng Qing, who handled my case, was sincere, didn't evade the issue, actively sought a solution, and promised that the hotel would rectify and improve its hygiene standards. A hotel that can face problems directly gives me confidence that they will genuinely follow through on their promises. I hope to experience the improved conditions on a future visit.

The hotel is newly renovated with excellent, convenient, and smart facilities. What was most heartwarming was the welcome music playing when we entered the room. The cleanliness was impeccable. The environment is beautiful, and the decor is very thoughtful. Both the interior and exterior are refreshing and unique. The staff were all great. They helped carry our luggage to the room, and because we had to wait a bit for our room, they even gave us the largest available one. Overall, we were very satisfied.

The room's decor was incredibly atmospheric. The two large beds were separated by sheer curtains, creating a sense of private space, perfect for two people. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered an amazing harbor view from the high floor. I just sank into the comfy chair and quietly watched the speedboats zipping across the water, leaving perfect curves in their wake, and observed the evening rush hour traffic on the highway. It felt like an ethereal experience, looking down at the world below. We also enjoyed takeout or late-night snacks from Taitung Night Market at the bar counter, all while taking in the night view. This room is truly ideal for couples on a staycation.

The best value-for-money hotel. The service was excellent, and the airport pickup/drop-off was punctual and friendly. They even upgraded our room for free. The room was spacious and well-equipped. The breakfast was rich and much better than expected.

The Grand Metropark Hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance to all of Jinan's famous attractions. Being a high-rise, its top-floor revolving restaurant offers stunning views of the Jiefang Pavilion, Chaoran Tower, Daming Lake, and Qianfo Mountain. The elevated position also means street noise doesn't reach the rooms, making them incredibly quiet. The hotel service is also very good. Our room came with 10 bottles of mineral water and a welcome fruit platter. The room itself is spacious, with a completely separate bedroom and bathroom area. The bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet occupy a large space, truly reflecting the essence of a five-star hotel. The front desk staff, especially one lovely lady, was exceptional. On our first day, we arrived early, and she encouraged us to go sight-seeing first, even kindly giving us directions to Qianfo Mountain. When we returned, our luggage had already been placed in our room. After check-out, she even gave us a bag of snacks. A big thank you to the wonderful lady! The photos included were taken from the restaurant, showcasing the Jiefang Pavilion, Chaoran Tower, Daming Lake, and Qianfo Mountain.

Hotel location is perfect! The front desk took the initiative to introduce the surrounding route when we checked in, helping us plan a super efficient play itinerary, saving a lot of time. The room was quiet and comfortable, and I could enjoy her warm greetings when I was tired. The location is excellent, plus the professional service at the front desk, making this trip extra worry-free and pleasant, absolutely recommended!
