Hotels With Gym in Shandong, China

"The service was indeed excellent. Before arriving, I saw various reviews and pictures, which prepared me for the hotel's situation. It's true that in an emerging market, older five-star hotels that don't keep up with the times can face significant challenges. However, the human element of service is dynamic, and as a benchmark in the service/hotel industry, every staff member here left a great impression on me. The concierge asked if I needed a carry bag when storing my luggage; when I told them I didn't need housekeeping the next day and requested a bottle of water, the attendant immediately gave me four. For my two-night stay, I was provided with welcome fruit, and upon checkout, I was even given packed fruit and snacks to take with me. The room's cleanliness and facilities were generally very good. The surrounding environment is perfect for a slow-paced trip. Highly recommended."

"The hotel room was very spacious and bright, and the bedding was comfortable with all sorts of amenities. The staff, Annie, was polite and enthusiastic, and even upgraded our room type. The hotel is very convenient for the terminal, with a dedicated walkway that takes about 10 minutes on foot, which is really friendly for travelers catching an early flight or arriving late at night. Overall, the stay was fantastic, and I truly recommend it!"

"I stayed one night in Jinan to rest and chose the Lvfaguhe InterContinental Hotel. Overall, I'd rate it 7-8 out of 10. The location is its biggest highlight, being right in the heart of Jinan's downtown commercial area, next to Guihe Shopping Mall. You can walk to attractions like Baotu Spring, Quancheng Square, and Kuanhouli, making it super convenient for shopping and sightseeing. I specifically chose this hotel for its prime location. The hotel's facade and lobby are grand and impressive, with a high ceiling design that gives it a luxurious, high-end feel. My first impression was definitely upscale and sophisticated. However, the room's hardware is a noticeable drawback. The hotel has been open for quite a while, and the room facilities are generally dated. You can see clear signs of wear and tear on the furniture, bathroom fixtures, and appliances. The decor style is a bit old-fashioned, lacking the refined touch of newer hotels, and the maintenance of details could be improved. What most affected my experience this stay was the communication regarding services, with multiple basic oversights. I booked two rooms, but upon check-in, I was only given four key cards for a single room. After going upstairs and realizing I couldn't access the second room, I had to go back to the front desk to get new ones, which was a time-consuming hassle. Additionally, the booking included the hotel's standard spring water bottles, but neither room had them. When I went to the front desk to ask for them, there was a lot of back-and-forth and blame-shifting, requiring repeated communication for a minor issue, which lowered both the efficiency of my check-in and my overall impression. The bedding was comfortable, and the basic living functions were fine. It's a good choice for travelers who prioritize a city-center location and mainly focus on sightseeing."

"The F&B department at this hotel is absolutely terrible. On the first day, I was having dinner with a colleague and there were people smoking without anyone doing anything about it. The next day, I was in a hurry and ordered some dumplings for 69, but after half an hour, they still hadn't arrived. When I tried to rush them, the service staff looked incredibly impatient. The waitress said she'd go check, but then came back and didn't even bother to update me. I had to pull answers out of her, and she had a long face the whole time. After checking out, as I was walking to the lobby entrance, a server chased me down saying there was a mistake in the payment, and I had only paid 0.69. I ended up scanning a QR code and paying the remaining 68.31 while walking, and she insisted on taking a picture of the payment record, as if I was trying to run off without paying. The worst part is that this server had really bad breath when she spoke, which was truly disgusting. For a five-star hotel, this Sheraton Rizhao has really been an eye-opener."

"The hotel's overall decor is luxurious and grand, with a European classical style that feels very warm and comfortable. The service at check-in was excellent; they proactively guided me to my room. However, I was not satisfied with the room facilities. The hand towel by the sink was severely damaged, and there was a chip on the edge of the bathtub, posing a safety hazard. On the other hand, the sleeping area in the room was a very pleasant experience. The bathroom having its own independent air conditioning system is a feature many hotels lack, which was a nice touch. The breakfast experience was particularly bad – messy and completely lacking in management and service. In terms of decor and luxury, the hotel certainly meets five-star standards. However, in terms of management and service, it falls short of even mid-range chain hotels."

"This hotel is centrally located in the old town, making it super convenient to get everywhere. Just a few steps away is Bajudaju, which is great for shopping, eating, drinking, and entertainment. The hotel itself is very new, and the service is excellent, especially on the executive floor. The cleaning staff are already waiting in the hallway bright and early every morning. Upon check-in, we even received a welcome gift with local specialties like fried flatbread, yogurt, and Zibo cola – it truly felt like a home away from home. In the evenings, there's a live singer in the lobby, which was a nice refreshing touch. The breakfast spread was also very rich and diverse."

"Stayed at the Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel, May Fourth Square branch, on June 6th. I booked a two-night stay in a deluxe king room via the Trip.com app. Upon check-in, I was lucky enough to get a complimentary upgrade to a king room with a sea view. Many thanks to the gentleman who handled my check-in. **Location**: Just a few minutes' walk from May Fourth Square and right next to MixC shopping mall. A bus stop is only 3 minutes away from the entrance. Very convenient for getting around and dining. **Room**: The hygiene was excellent, and they provided welcome cookies and drinks. The only minor drawback was that the soundproofing was a little lacking. However, considering the cleanliness, service, and location, this is a negligible issue. **Breakfast**: There was a wide variety of options, probably enough to satisfy everyone's taste. Personally, I found it quite delicious. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Qingdao."

"The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the quality of sleep was superb. The front desk service is warm and intimate, the check-in and check-out speed is very fast, the location is convenient and convenient, the facilities are complete and there is no smell, the price is super high, I will choose here next time I travel, highly recommended!"

"This was my second trip to Yantai, and I chose to stay at the Pullman again. The location is excellent, making it convenient to get to both the beach and Yantaishan. Just across the street is Suochengli, which is beautiful at night. From the window, you can see mountains, the sea, and the city, which is really lovely. The front desk service was very attentive; they patiently listened to all my questions, responded proactively, and resolved issues promptly. I had a fantastic experience."

"The hotel is new and spotless, from the interiors and room amenities to the surrounding environment. It's just a short walk across the street to the beach. The beachfront promenade stretches for miles, perfect for a morning run to catch the sunrise 🏃 or an evening stroll with a sea breeze – incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The nearby Haitan Mall isn't large but it's very new, with plenty of dining options. There's even a Tsutaya Bookstore on the 4th floor with direct sea views. And the hotel's breakfast restaurant offers amazing sea views! During our stay, our butler Rose provided impeccable service, responding to our needs very quickly."
