RYM properties in Dalian

After looking at many hotels, I finally settled on Riyueming. The price and environment are both great, and it includes breakfast. I stayed for two consecutive days, and the breakfast menu changed daily and was delicious. Drinks and bottled water are complimentary, and the service attitude is also very good. Since it's the off-season, there weren't many people. I'll definitely go back next time.

The location is super convenient! It's just a 7-8 minute walk to Zhongshan Square, and only 10 minutes on foot to the train station. There's a big shopping street nearby, plenty of bus routes, and the subway entrance is just a five-minute walk away. The room was really warm, I didn't even need the AC or a blanket. The bathroom was great too, with plenty of hot water. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and even helped me with my luggage. I'm very satisfied!

Unfortunately, this hotel turned out to be the worst of my entire two-week trip around China. The staff was friendly, but they didn't speak any English. Overall, the hotel didn't seem particularly foreign-friendly. Simple requests like a fruit bowl or an adapter to charge phone baffled them. When I checked in, I found a clump of long black hair on the bathroom floor. I had to ask them to wash the floors again. The hotel didn't offer any apologies or compliments for this situation. Breakfasts were the most disappointing part. This hotel was the only place in China where I had a bad meal😭 The noodles and even the stewed cabbage were swimming in oil, everything was overly vinegary and garlicky, and there were no fruits, vegetables, or desserts. I ate there only twice in five days, and both times I suffered from severe heartburn. The positive moments are an ideal location and comfortable beds and pillows. I slept well there, even though the room's windows overlooked the highway and not the park as stated when booking.

Ri Yue Ming offers excellent service in many aspects. We wanted to stay in a locally-owned hotel, and it turned out to be a very wise decision. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—everyone did their best whenever I asked for something. There are many local restaurants around the hotel, and Olympia 66 shopping mall is right across the road—just a 3-minute walk away. Most of the tourist spots were within 20 minutes from the hotel, and there was a convenience store right next door. I absolutely loved their breakfast and afternoon tea service, which offered a variety of Chinese herbal teas along with plenty of pastries, fruits, and more. If you want to experience genuine Chinese hospitality, I’d definitely recommend this hotel. And the manager (I forgot his name) was super friendly—he’ll help you sort out any problems you might have. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality!
