Dalian Beach Hotels

"The hotel upgraded my room to an incredibly spacious sea-view suite. It offered excellent views of the Oriental Water City and the sea nearby, and was also very close to the square. However, there was a delay during check-in, possibly due to a high volume of group bookings and the hotel being near full capacity. What's more, I was woken up by an itch two consecutive nights, leading me to suspect dust mites on the bathrobes and bedding. (The inner lining material of the bathrobes appears prone to accumulating dirt/dust). The hotel's seafood buffet was good, though."

"## Wonderful Family Stay at The Castle Dalian We stayed as a family for four nights at The Castle Dalian and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our spacious and beautifully decorated room on the 12th floor offered stunning views of the sea, making our stay truly memorable. The hotel’s entrance lobby is impressively large and elegantly designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. For families with children, there is a large play area available, which requires an additional fee. Fortunately, hotel guests receive a discounted rate. Outside, the hotel boasts a charming small park with fantastic views over the bay and lovely landscaping—perfect for a relaxing stroll. The hotel is situated on a small hill, so the walk back to the city center is a bit long. However, the free shuttle bus service is very convenient, providing easy transport down to the city and back. Our room was thoughtfully furnished and very spacious, including a large and well-equipped bathroom. One minor downside was that there was only one power outlet next to the bed (on one side only), and no USB ports for charging phones, which would have been a nice addition. Breakfast and other meals at the hotel were delicious, with a rich selection of both Chinese and Western dishes to choose from. The only area for improvement would be the cleanliness of the restrooms in the breakfast restaurant, which unfortunately were often untidy and in need of more frequent attention. The swimming pool, maintained at 27°C, was not ideal for small children as there is no separate kids’ section. Guests should also note that wearing a swim cap is mandatory. The pool area includes a mini Finnish sauna and a steam sauna integrated into the changing rooms. However, there are only loungers next to the pool, so the sauna experience was quite different from the relaxing sauna visits we are used to in Europe. Overall, The Castle Dalian offers a lovely stay with beautiful views, excellent food, and family-friendly amenities, making it a great choice for travelers visiting the area."

"The room was very comfortable. All clean, good air conditioning and illuminated. The staff is so kind and friendly. They were all time in communication, before and during my stay, attentive to what I could need."

"We chose this hotel for its convenient location near the Shanmu and Zhenghuangqi dining areas. The lobby staff were very friendly; they proactively offered game tokens to our child when they saw him/her lingering near the claw machine, which made our child very happy. However, the cleanliness was truly disappointing. We arrived around 11 AM during peak season. Since our room wouldn't be ready until after 2 PM, we headed out to explore. That night, as I pulled back the duvet, something got on my hand. Upon closer inspection in the bathroom, it turned out to be a false eyelash. Further inspection of the bed revealed more remnants on the duvet cover. I called the front desk to request a duvet change, but was informed that due to full occupancy, they couldn't provide a spare duvet. It was only after I thoroughly explained the situation (pointing out multiple false eyelash remnants, not just one spot) that they agreed to change the duvet cover. The older male staff member who came to replace it was quite clumsy; the duvet cover was dragged on the floor multiple times, making for a rather poor experience. We stayed for two consecutive nights. On the second day, when the cleaning staff came, I noticed the room across the hall had just checked out and observed them emptying the trash bin directly into a large communal bin. Concerned about the hygiene, we subsequently declined daily room cleaning."

"A really nice place to spend holiday！Service is very polite！The breakfast can be sent to your room when you wake up. Close to beach， about 30 meters. And you even can ask for chairs and table to beach have order some food！Much better to come here with your girlfriend/boyfriend！"

"The room was upgraded, but the smell was very strong as soon as I entered the room. It was a musty smell, especially the bathroom on the first floor. The smell was very strong when I opened the door. I guess it was the bathroom on the first floor that made the whole room smell bad, but the bed on the second floor There is a small bathroom next to the head, but you can't take a shower. This room has no windows, only a door, and there is a small courtyard at the door that can only accommodate a table. But outside the courtyard is a big stage, which is very noisy. They sing and then dance, and finally play foreign music until ten o'clock in the evening. It was quiet. The front desk service was pretty good and the attitude was very good. However, the breakfast takeout I ordered was not delivered to my room. Some of the takeout orders I ordered were placed on the table in the lobby and some were placed on the cabinet next to me. I had to go to the lobby twice to get all the takeaways. Management is not very standardized."

"The price was so good I was skeptical, but it was clean and more than adequate for a family outing. The air conditioning was so strong it was chilly, so I had to lower it to sleep. There's a skewer and seafood restaurant on the first floor, and if you exit the front door and turn right, you'll find the delicious Chaoshan Restaurant. This shabu-shabu restaurant serves a variety of mushrooms from Yunnan Province. It's a high-quality restaurant. Oh, and the female staff member at the desk spoke Korean fluently, so there was absolutely no inconvenience. I plan to stay here again next time I visit Dalian."

"The environment is very good. The hotel is clean and tidy. The lady at the front desk is very nice and provides attentive service. The children I brought with me were also provided with children's slippers, toothbrushes and shower gel. It was very good. The service attitude and sound insulation were excellent. The American-style rooms are very high-end, the bathrooms are all brand-name, and the price/performance ratio is first-class. The hotel facilities are complete. I will come again. I am very satisfied!"

"Bayshore hotel was an amazing stay we stayed in the family suite and it met our expectations. Everything was clean and spacious, the breakfast was okay, they did t have much of a western spread but it was up to standards just the food was always cold. The location was great it was really close to Xinghai park and xinghai square. The only issue we had was the elevator I know the concept of the twin elevator was innovative but during peak time you would wait a good 5 to 10 min for the elevator. However the stay was great and I would definitely consider staying at bayshore hotel again."

"The hotel boasts a fantastic location. Right outside, you'll find a scenic viewing platform, conveniently situated between Gates 3 and 4. For just 20 RMB, you can enjoy unlimited rides on the shuttle bus all day, which conveniently connects all gates from 1 to 7. Gates 3 and 7 offer water activities, while Gate 6 features a charming beach dotted with pink tents. If you're looking for dining options, Gates 1 and 2 have a wider selection. In the evenings, Gate 3 also hosts vibrant stage performances. The hotel rooms are generously sized. Photos 1, 7, and 10-13 below were all taken from the hotel balcony, showcasing the stunning views. In the evenings, you can clearly hear the lively buzz from the Gate 3 performances, and at 9:30 PM, you're treated to the spectacular fireworks display from Discoveryland. It's also a perfect spot to catch the sunrise in the morning."
