Yunqi·Haisu (Dalian Donggang Venice Water City Store)

📍 Unit 2, Building 9, Poly Tianxi Pi Residence, Dongluan Street, Zhongshan District, Dalian
★★ 9.2 (2,121 reviews)

"The location is incredibly convenient. Metro Line 2 takes you directly from the airport to the hotel, and once you exit from Gate C, you just turn a corner and you'll spot the large sign for Building 9. However, check-in isn't in Building 9 itself; it's in a separate orange-fronted room right next door. If you're not paying attention, you might miss it. It's completely within a residential complex, with both owner-occupiers and transient guests, and I imagine there might be long-term residents too. The ground floor on both sides is lined with all sorts of small shops, making the area incredibly lively and convenient for dining. It's about a 40-minute to an hour's walk to the International Yacht Marina. We stayed during the Davos conference from June 23rd-25th, 2026, and it didn't inconvenience us much; in fact, we even got to enjoy free metro rides all day on June 24th. The actual room size and the scenery depicted in the promotional photos were quite different; let's just say the photography was excellent. Overall, the cleanliness wasn't great. There were several bloodstains on the sheets, which we requested to be changed on the second day when the room was cleaned. The bathroom was quite small, and various towels looked unclean and very old. The shower gel and shampoo came in small bottles. Anyone particular about their bathing experience might find it inconvenient. The refrigerator was never plugged in, and when opened, it had a very unpleasant smell and was also dirty, causing food to take on strange odors. The range hood was also greasy. The hangers in the wardrobe were those flimsy wire ones, fine for summer clothes but not at all suitable for heavier coats in other seasons. The staff were pretty good. When booking, I made some common requests: a high floor, smoke-free room, away from the elevator, and a sofa in the warm, bright colors shown in the promotional pictures. The front desk staff arranged this in advance. During our stay, I messaged the 'little housekeeper' daily on WeChat to request room cleaning, and each time they said they would come in the afternoon. Since we went out in the morning and returned in the afternoon, we asked them to clean in the morning, which they always accommodated. Overall, the staff's service was OK, but since it's a homestay that opened in 2021, the facilities, equipment, and cleanliness/maintenance haven't kept up, so it really can't be judged by hotel standards. Oh, and the water heater worked great; hot water came out quickly with stable pressure, making showers very comfortable. Overall, feedback from friends visiting from out of town was positive, and the value for money was there. Even during Davos and the summer peak season, prices weren't inflated, which was very considerate and well-managed. There are pros and cons, and this is a completely objective review. I hope for improvements and might consider staying again in the future."

Shangri-La Hotel Dalian

Shangri-La Hotel Dalian

📍 No. 66 Renmin Road, Zhongshan District, Dalian
★★★★★ 9.4 (6,650 reviews)

"My overall stay at the Shangri-La Hotel Dalian was fantastic. The room was beautiful, and the newly replaced carpet really brightened the place up. The lounge had a great ambiance, and the breakfast spread was extensive. The room I was given was spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was impeccable, making for a very comfortable stay. The bedding was incredibly soft, and the toiletries were well-stocked. The hotel's location is excellent; it's easy to get anywhere by taxi and also very close to the metro station, so public transport is very convenient. The hotel also has a swimming pool and a gym open to guests, and there's a beautiful outdoor garden on the first floor. All the hotel staff were very friendly. Delancy was particularly thoughtful at check-out, asking about my stay and making me feel like family, and she also proactively asked if I needed an invoice. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit."

📍 No. 50 Luxun Road, Zhongshan District, Dalian
★★★★ 9.4 (9,984 reviews)

"This hotel near Zhongshan Square offers excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it. Here’s why: 1. The room space is incredibly generous, especially when compared to other hotels in the same price range. It's a really good room type. 2. The surrounding area is bustling with a fantastic variety of street food and restaurants. There are also many bubble tea shops, offering a comprehensive selection. You can find delicious food and all sorts of items just by crossing the street. 3. It's quite close to the Children's Park, which is a lovely spot to relax. Taking a walk there in the evening is very pleasant. 4. It's very close to all the attractions around Zhongshan, and you can reach most of them by taxi for just the starting fare. This makes it incredibly convenient. 5. Although the hotel doesn't have a free parking lot, it's great that they do have a few parking spots available. While it's first-come, first-served, finding a hotel with any parking spaces near Zhongshan is quite rare."

"The bathtub was broken when I arrived, but they fixed it promptly. However, the Internet was only accessible through one device and I wasn’t able to connect my laptop to it since I’d already connected it to my phone. This was incredibly disappointing as I then had to use my phone’s hotspot."

"This place deserves a full five-star review! The host was incredibly kind and proactively upgraded our room for free when they saw we had a child.

The huge screen offered a great viewing experience, which my child absolutely loved. The location is truly unbeatable, right in the heart of the city center.

"I didn't pay close attention when booking and was pleasantly surprised to find out I'd booked an apartment! It was excellent value for money, with a kitchen and a laundry room, and the facilities were very new. The lighting was bright and incredibly comfortable. While it might not have the luxury of a hotel, it offered a much cozier feel."

"I extended my stay again today! I was so comfortable here that I decided to stay longer. The front desk staff are very thoughtful; they ask every morning if I need housekeeping and offer complimentary drinks like barley tea, honey water, and freshly ground coffee – truly excellent service. The hotel's location is great, close to Dongbei University of Finance and Economics and Neusoft University, right in the city center. It’s convenient for getting around, with bus and subway stations right downstairs. I'll definitely choose this place again if I have the chance!"

The location is great, right at the Youhao Square Metro Station (Line 2), which makes getting around very convenient. The only downside is that the facilities are a bit old."
