Sea View Hotels in Shandong, China

I spent a weekend here, and it was a great experience! My apartment was absolutely fantastic, offering breathtaking views from the 42nd floor. Waking up to that sea view every morning was truly a highlight of my stay. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day. The facilities and services provided by the hotel are top‑notch. The hotel staff are helpful and professional. I am glad I chose this hotel for my trip! I genuinely enjoyed every moment spent there. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable experience! 我在这里度过了一个周末，整体体验非常棒！我住的公寓无可挑剔，在42层坐拥壮阔迷人的海景。每天清晨伴着海景醒来，是这次入住最大的惊喜。房间宽敞舒适，奔波一整天之后，可以好好放松身心。酒店配套设施完善，服务水准一流。工作人员待人热心，业务专业。很庆幸这次旅行选择了这家酒店。我十分珍惜在这里度过的每一刻，真心推荐所有想要一段难忘旅途的游客前来入住！

We chose this Hilton for our family vacation with the kids, and it was a great experience! Just across the road is Golden Beach, making it super convenient for beach strolls and playtime. The hotel also offers some parent-child activities, which kept the little one thoroughly entertained. Our sea view room had excellent views and was very clean, and the pool temperature was just right for kids to swim in. Staff member Mina🍑 provided thoughtful service. Overall, it's a one-stop shop for dining, accommodation, and fun – a fantastic choice for families traveling with children!

Our stay at the hotel was overall very pleasant. The hotel itself looks absolutely amazing, it truly feels like staying in a castle, both from the outside and inside. Our room had a beautiful sea view, which created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast offered a nice variety of options, and the café with its balcony overlooking the sea was a wonderful place to enjoy coffee. The food at the café was also very good. One of the highlights of our stay was the concierge service. The concierge was extremely helpful, polite, and professional. He assisted us many times with our deliveries and always made a great impression. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming as well. The hotel’s location, away from the city center, is actually a big advantage for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The beach is not crowded, and the swimming pool is usually peaceful and not busy. However, there are some areas where the hotel could improve. The room cleaning service needs more attention. It wasn't good at all. Some cups at breakfast were also dirty or cracked. The service at the café could be improved as well. When we came to order afternoon tea at around 5 PM, one of the young staff members seemed unhappy and impatient because it was close to the end of his working day. After making a short call, we were told that the kitchen was not answering and that they were no longer working. This experience did not feel very welcoming. Though I understand he really wanted to leave work asap, he could share it with his coworker after we left, not in front of us 🤣 The hotel also has a Japanese restaurant, but the staff could not provide clear information about its opening days or availability. We were told it might be open on Thursday and Friday, but it was not certain. Another concern is the small zoo area. animals appeared to be staying outside in the heat all day. In particular, there was a dog kept in a cage outside during very hot weather (around 35°C), which was concerning and seemed unsuitable for the animal’s comfort.. The beach near the hotel was unfortunately quite dirty, which is something that could be improved. Regarding the swimming pools, the indoor pool felt quite cold, especially with the air conditioning, making it difficult to enjoy with a child when the outdoor weather is too hot. The outdoor pool area also has limited comfortable seating. There are only a few lounge chairs, and adding soft cushions or mats would greatly improve the experience and make the area more relaxing. Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere, views, and peaceful location. The hotel has great potential, and with some improvements in service quality, cleanliness, and facilities, it could become an even better experience for guests.

Considering the average price of 2000 yuan per night, The Westin is absolutely not worth it. Let's start with the pros based on my personal experience: 1. **Excellent Location**: The transportation is indeed convenient, with a subway station right outside. It's very easy to access MixC Mall directly via an underground passage for dining. May Fourth Square and the beach are within walking distance. 2. **Outstanding Housekeeping**: The housekeeper on our floor during our 4-night, 5-day stay was incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful! Seeing that we had both elderly and children, she provided us with ample bottled water every day. After I mentioned how inconvenient it was to only have tissue paper in the bathroom sink area in such a large room, she brought us two extra packs of portable tissues for easy access. Her service attitude truly deserves a thumbs up! 👍 Now, let's get to the serious cons: 1. **Mismatched Hardware for the Price**: The room's hardware facilities are completely inadequate for this price point! Not only is the toilet not smart, but it doesn't even have a soft-close lid? My child would use the restroom half-asleep at night, and it would bang loudly. What they call a 'family suite' is essentially just a room with an extra bed. The pillows were also uncomfortable (here, I have to praise the housekeeper again! I complained to her about the pillows and asked for a buckwheat pillow. She said they were fully booked but would keep an eye out for one, and she brought me one the very next day! Thank you!). The toiletries appeared to be of low quality; most notably, my hair felt noticeably dry even after using conditioner. The hairdryer was also ineffective, with low airflow in cold mode. 2. **Subpar Front Desk and Breakfast Service for the Price**: Our room included two breakfast servings. On the first day, dining was smooth; we just swiped our room card. For the third person in my room, we paid 100 yuan for a guest breakfast. The next day, when we went down, the person at the card-swiping station at the restaurant entrance actually told me that the room only included one breakfast?! I said, 'How is that possible?' She even told me to go to the front desk to ask myself! Finally, after my repeated insistence, she took out the notebook that was right in front of her to check and then told me that it was indeed two breakfasts??!!! At that moment, I really wanted to swear (but I held back). What kind of service is this? Furthermore, there's no comparison, no harm done. Whether it was previous stays at InterContinental, Hilton, or Sheraton, if our family of 5 stayed in two rooms for three or four days or more (with two breakfasts included per room), the hotels would usually directly provide an extra breakfast without requiring a separate purchase. Of course, after spending tens of thousands on accommodation, a few hundred yuan for breakfast isn't a big deal. I'm bringing this up just to highlight an issue with the hotel's service awareness.

My stay at the Orange Crystal Hotel (Qingdao May Fourth Square) far exceeded my expectations! The hotel clearly puts a lot of effort into its brand culture; there's a story about the brand's origins on the bedside table, and reading it truly gives you a sense of their original vision, creating a wonderful ambiance. Early in my stay, there was a strange noise in my room. After contacting the front desk, they handled it incredibly efficiently, without much back-and-forth. They immediately arranged a room change, and the new room type was perfect. The soundproofing in the new room was excellent; it was quiet all night, and I couldn't hear any guests in the adjacent rooms, which made for a very restful sleep. I especially want to commend the self-service laundry room. It's managed by dedicated staff and fully equipped with disinfectant and antibacterial laundry detergent. I missed the pick-up time for my laundry, and the staff thoughtfully folded my clothes neatly and placed them in a special laundry bag. Such attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Throughout my stay, the service was exceptionally warm. Every staff member I encountered on the way would proactively greet guests politely and appropriately. It wasn't just standardized service; they truly went the extra mile with their thoughtful touches. The location is excellent, making travel convenient. For those who value details and service quality, this hotel is definitely worth choosing!

The positive attitude and service performance of the staff ranging from front desk, concierge/security to breakfast restaurant and house keeping is excellent. The classic hotel personal service with a modern twist makes the stay a memorable experience. On my check-in, Ms Xiao Jiao and Ms Xiao Cong gave me and explained briefly the leaflet on the hotel’s suggested tourist attractions in Yantai. They also enthusiastically exchanged small RMB notes with me. They also gave me a piece of mooncake of my choice (and during my check-out too). The restaurant staff is attentive, replenishing food and drinks and attending to requests promptly. Due to my lack of command of Mandarin and accent, the chef cooked the wanton instead of the mackerel dumplings for me, he immediately served me the dumplings when he realised the miscommunication. The next morning, after serving me the mackerel dumplings, he, I think, recognised me, suggested I could add soup and condiments to the dumplings. I find their fleshly cooked dumplings are even better than the dumplings from the most famous dumplings restaurant in Yantai. The concierge staff on 2 days helped me book taxi using her phone app, paying in advance on my behalf as booking via internet cannot be settled in cash. The concierge/front desk lent me umbrella without question. After a delayed and tiring flight, Mr Xiao Gao brought me to my room and explained the mechanics of the switches in the room. There was a hand-written welcome note from Ms Liu, with 2 cups of white fungus/goji drink beside it. The drink together with the note and fruits in the room, not only soothed my dry throat but also lifted the mood. House keeping provided fruits, white fungus/goji drink and dried chrysanthemum/rose flowers (to prepare for drinking) and 4 bottles (500 ml) of water daily, with up to 14 bottles at the lift lobby on my floor, and guests can also request house keeping for more bottles. On my check out day, during my breakfast, they left at the door handle, a bag of goodies, fruits and bottles of water and souvenirs (4 key chains with various types of sea shells), together with a hand-written farewell/bon voyage note from Ms Liu. Well done The Center Hotel staff, you are a pride to the hotel, the hospitality industry and Yantai!

The female staff members I encountered at this hotel were all wonderful. When I booked a tent, I was told the beach would be shady in the afternoon, but I actually needed the tent more in the morning. They were very helpful and changed my reservation to the morning. When checking in, they noticed I had a small baby and proactively asked if I could wait a few hours to get a room upgrade to a sea-view room. Since I was going to Mount Laoshan that day, I checked in in the evening and was upgraded directly to a sea-view room. Many thanks to the front desk staff who checked me in and the staff who helped me book the tent. The room was also cleaned very well every day.

This hotel is right by the sea, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. You're just a few steps away from seeing the ocean, and there are tons of restaurants nearby. The room was absolutely huge, and the price was very reasonable. Shandong people are so generous! Next time I'm in Qingdao, I'm definitely staying here again. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Qingdao while on a family road trip. It's an older five-star hotel that's been open for years, so the facilities feel a bit dated, but they're well-maintained. The guest rooms have an elegant, understated European retro style with plenty of stone and wrought iron decor, giving off a 'old money' vibe. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a spacious 60-square-meter suite. The layout was excellent with distinct zones, so there was plenty of room for the whole family without feeling cramped. At just over 600 yuan, it offered outstanding value for money. I especially want to praise the bedding – it was soft and breathable, making for a great night's sleep and effectively easing the fatigue from our long drive. The front desk staff were prompt with their service and very friendly towards children. The hotel is centrally located on Hong Kong Middle Road, with convenient parking for those driving, and easy access to the beach and shopping areas. It's truly ideal for family travel.

Staying at the Qingdao Hyatt Regency International Apartment this summer was an excellent experience. The location is superb, conveniently close to May Fourth Square for easy access to transport. The one-bedroom suite was comfortably laid out and spacious, and the housekeeping was meticulous, leaving the entire apartment clean and refreshing. The breakfast selection was rich and varied, and the high-floor sea view was breathtaking. The amenities were comprehensive, and the service was thoughtful and attentive, showcasing humanistic care throughout. It was a thoroughly comfortable and pleasant stay, truly feeling like a home away from home.
