Qingdao Beach Hotels

"You can book this place with your eyes closed! I chose the one-bedroom sea view room; I just love spacious accommodations and this one definitely met my expectations. The location is excellent. My only minor complaints are that the shower pressure was a bit low, and I'd suggest replacing the showerhead with one that has more nozzles."

"Huge thanks to Grace for the warm welcome and for upgrading our room! The 270-degree view from the room was absolutely breathtaking – perfect for enjoying sunny days, stunning sunsets, and the beautiful 'blue hour'. The complimentary first-round mini-bar was so well-stocked, even I, who drinks a lot of water, couldn't finish it all. The large bed was incredibly comfortable. Breakfast at the ocean-view restaurant was also a treat, with both the food and the scenery being delightful. All the staff were very friendly and proactive. The bathrobes were also very comfortable. Overall, it was a truly worthwhile stay; you don't even need to leave the hotel to enjoy beautiful scenery. Some suggestions: 1. Room cleaning was a bit slow, making us wait quite a while before check-in (Grace did offer some comfort, which we appreciated). 2. The shower water temperature couldn't be adjusted very high. I'm not sure if it was because I didn't turn it hard enough or if the hotel set a maximum temperature to prevent scalding. However, as someone who gets cold easily, I'd prefer slightly hotter water. All in all, I highly recommend staying here!"

"This stay was absolutely fantastic! The lobby is stylish, and the room was clean, bright, and well-laid out, with comfortable bedding that made for a great night's sleep. The staff were polite and efficient, responding instantly to any requests. The breakfast offered a complete spread of both Western and Chinese options with fresh ingredients, and all the facilities were top-notch. I felt right at home. Five-star recommendation! The location is superb, close to the subway and shopping areas, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The room cleanliness was meticulous, even in the corners, and the amenities were high quality. The service was genuinely warm and thoughtful, without being overbearing. The hardware, environment, dining, and service were all impeccable. This hotel is now my top choice!"

"A special thanks to our butler Bella for contacting me in advance to arrange our room so perfectly before check-in. The service was incredibly thoughtful and meticulous. The room had an expansive view, and the entire stay was fantastic. The off-season experience was great! Friends who want it all, you can disregard my review. The main attractions here are the beautiful scenery and the tranquility. To truly appreciate the Zen atmosphere, you need to let go of expectations and block out anxiety."

"Spotlessly clean and excellent service! I was able to get a late check-out until 2 PM. They provided a welcome fruit platter and warm coffee. The bedding was super comfortable, I slept really well. The location is convenient and they had a full set of toiletries. I'd definitely choose to stay here again."

"Overall, it was absolutely amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. First, let's talk about the location. It's not right by Golden Beach Bathing Beach, but it is considered part of Golden Beach. It takes about a 10-minute walk to get to the bathing beach. However, I think there's no need to go that far. Just a few steps out the back door of the lobby bar, and you're directly on a very fine and clean sandy beach (compared to the crowded Golden Beach Bathing Beach with inconsistent sand quality, I think the beach behind the hotel is much better, though it's not suitable for swimming). Of course, if you want to take public transport, I haven't tried it, but I guess most people drive to resort hotels, right? Or take a taxi. However, there are no hotel-owned charging stations. Next, the room. I booked the 'Embrace the Sea Dream' King Bed room, which offers a partial sea view, quite partial indeed. The hotel's description wasn't very clear on this. All the facilities in the room were fine, and everything you could need was provided, such as disposable bath bags, bath balls, pour-over coffee, a temperature-controlled kettle, etc. You could even request bed rails. Honestly, I never felt like I was missing anything during my stay. As for food, I found the hotel's buffet breakfast to be very rich and tasty... You can even find several breads from 'Fermentation Master' in the bread section. There's also a Mexican taco stand with a really authentic sauce; it felt like Taco Bell couldn't even compare. There were various steamed grains available for children, and what was surprising was that the toddler cutlery was exactly the same as what we use at home (a full set from Shixi). And the most important thing!!! Unlimited craft beer at the hotel! It was authentic Qingdao 1903 Time Craft Beer, about 26 yuan a glass! 🤔 You can get it from the front desk, with two rotating flavors. I went in and out and must have had nearly 30 glasses, it was awesome! Since I don't drink much alcohol, I prefer sweet drinks. I recommend the strawberry grapefruit and grapefruit white tea. The hotel also has a craft beer restaurant (with proper brewing equipment) and a bakery (Fermentation Master). You can have dinner at the craft beer restaurant; the second floor is Chinese, and the first floor is German. The food was decent, and the prices were reasonable. Hotel guests get a 21% discount, and the hotel also provides two craft beer vouchers. Remember to bring them when you go for dinner, so you don't have to buy drinks. Staying guests can buy packaged craft beer at the hotel, about 80-90 yuan for a large bottle, and get the second one half price. However, they don't cover shipping if you want to mail it, so calculate if it's worth it. There's also a pool bar, an infinity pool, and a rooftop bar, but they're not very big. They seemed good for photos. I went during the off-season, so I pretty much had the place to myself. Overall, going during the off-season, I think the experience was excellent. The price and what you get are pretty much aligned. Recommended for those who love beer; it's truly all-you-can-drink for guests! Here are my suggestions for the hotel: 🤔 Since it's close to the sea, although paid foot-washing might be common in Qingdao, I still hope the hotel adds foot-rinsing facilities along the path from the beach to the hotel. It's quite difficult to keep the hotel clean when bringing in sand. Also, as a resort hotel, it felt like there weren't many activities. Perhaps consider organizing some activities for guests to enrich the resort experience (though this might also be because I went during the off-season)."

"Staying at MGM during my Qingdao vacation far exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Elly, the Guest Relations Manager, for her prompt replies and quick coordination in fulfilling all our requests. The Front Office staff demonstrated outstanding professionalism; the front desk handled check-in efficiently and meticulously explained our benefits. The concierge was warm and welcoming, proactively helping with luggage and offering local travel tips. The Executive Lounge offered a tranquil environment with ample snacks and drinks. The guest rooms were well-maintained, with all facilities in perfect working order, ensuring a very comfortable stay. The high-altitude pool was stunning with crystal-clear water, and the gym was upscale with a full range of equipment, making for an excellent fitness and leisure experience."

"We came as a group of several families, and the rooms were absolutely fantastic! They are situated right across from the sea, and when the tide comes in, lying in bed feels like you're floating directly in the ocean. The two twin rooms are located upstairs, while the two double rooms are downstairs. The downstairs rooms feature sliding doors that open onto a terrace, providing direct access to the sea. They are also equipped with large windows, some of which function as doors, whereas the two upstairs rooms come with expansive windows. The next day, after the tide came in, we went sea foraging. The guesthouse thoughtfully provided buckets and tools, and we managed to find small snails and limpets, ending up with a bountiful harvest!"

"Where do I even begin? I've been staying at this hotel every time I visit Qingdao for years! The location is absolutely amazing! It's just a 5-minute walk across the street to the Beer Festival venue. A short stroll north takes you to Golden Beach, and if you head south a bit further, you'll reach Silver Beach, perfect for sunset views! Parking downstairs is convenient, and the dining options are fantastic – Lü's and Daguoqiang are right there! The rooms are also spacious, around 70㎡, making them incredibly comfortable and roomy. Plus, they come with a balcony offering garden or sea views! In short, highly recommended! 👍"

"Attention to detail is lacking. There were no tissues in the room, and the light switch design was impractical; some bedside lights couldn't even be turned off. Thankfully, the air conditioning didn't have issues with being too hot to cool down. Compared to the sea view rooms, the details here aren't as good. The biggest takeaway, though, is to be very cautious about breakfast. The bacon was burnt black, and I'm not sure if that's a local specialty or not. The variety also wasn't as good as the sea view rooms – it's hard to describe. After eating breakfast, we didn't dare book their buffet. As for the room, my elderly family members felt a bit itchy after resting. If we're talking about the Shilaoren beach for families, the kids didn't even want to play there, which was quite awkward 😬. However, they did upgrade our room for free, so that's a plus. The travel photography service was also speechless, a bit of a rip-off, but many hotels in Qingdao are like this."
