Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport

📍 No. 7 Jinhang Road, Jiaozhou
★★★★ 9.4 (15,340 reviews)

"Having stayed at Jinan Junting before, this was my first time at Bangchen. The room, though small, was well-equipped. I particularly liked the soft, skin-friendly linens with their dual inner and outer colors. Being able to take the connecting corridor directly to the airport for an early morning flight was a huge plus."

Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square)

Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square)

📍 No. 5, Hong Kong Middle Road, Shinan District, Qingdao
★★★★★ 9.5 (6,927 reviews)

"The hotel's location is excellent, conveniently close to the subway for easy travel. It's just a ten-minute walk to MixC shopping mall, making dining and shopping very convenient. It's also a twenty-minute walk to May Fourth Square. However, the soundproofing is poor; you can hear conversations from the next room. The triple room is spacious, but the cleaning wasn't very thorough and could be improved. There's no iron or ironing board in the room. The hotel breakfast is mediocre with a limited variety of fruits. On the day of check-in, our room wasn't ready, so we had to wait for almost an hour, only getting our room key close to 3 PM."

Qingting · Lyric Courtyard Hotel (Zhongshan Road Metro Station, Zhanqiao, Qingdao)

📍 No. 67 Jiaozhou Road, Shibei District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.5 (1,305 reviews)

"My parents used to bring me to Zhongshan Road often to eat grilled meat skewers and drink Qingdao's old yogurt when I was a child. Now, I want to bring my own kids to experience it. I found the Qingting Courtyard Hotel online and was told not to get a street-facing room. When I arrived, I realized the family rooms are all street-facing, but it wasn't noisy at all. It was very clean and thoughtful, with a lovely little courtyard. The laundry and drying facilities were also very convenient. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly enthusiastic, and the location is super convenient. Highly recommended! I'm even planning to bring my parents here to stay in a couple of days. ✌✌"

★★★★★ 9.4 (11,557 reviews)

"As previously I already stayed at Shangri la at HangZhou, I think this Qingdao is overpriced due to old building and lack of staffs. Lack of friendliness and late check-in because of no room available. Overall I would give 6 or 7 out of 10 rating."

Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport ★★★★
"The breakfast selection was extensive and quite delicious. The stay was very comfortable, with a wet/dry separation in the bathroom. The environment was pleasant, and the on-site parking right at the entrance was free for guests. The staff at the guest services center were very enthusiastic and helpful. Overall, very satisfied!"

Haiyi International Apartment ★★★★
"We arrived at the apartment quite late, around 1am, feeling exhausted. Unfortunately, we were greeted by a staff member with a rather rude attitude, which left us with a poor first impression. The apartment is spacious and can comfortably accommodate five of us. However, it is visibly aged, with noticeable wear and tear in several areas. The sea view from the window is pleasant, although it is not a full 180-degree view as it is partially blocked by another tower. Cutlery was not provided in the unit and had to be requested from the front desk, which was a bit inconvenient. Nevertheless, the service is generally good. A robot delivers meal orders directly to the unit, and parcels can also be received at the lobby, although guests need to collect them personally. On two occasions when I had to leave early and was unable to attend breakfast, I requested a takeaway option, and they kindly prepared boiled eggs and fruits, which was much appreciated. The location is strategic and within walking distance to May Fourth Station, MIXC Mall, and May Fourth Square. Overall, it was a good stay despite a few shortcomings."

Qingdao Haitian Hotel ★★★★★
"Jiaodong Airport is really far. My flight landed at 9:30 PM, and I didn't get to the hotel until 11:30 PM. When I arrived, I met Ariane (Ms. Wang). I had originally booked a small sea-view suite, but after discussing it, she upgraded me to a 270-degree sea-view room. It turned out to be a great decision; the view from the room was fantastic, and I could enjoy the ocean right from my bed. After checking in, I added Ms. Wang on WeChat. She was incredibly responsive for room cleaning and bringing requested items, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of dishes, but it was too crowded. The next day, I decisively opted for the Executive Lounge on the 30th floor. Although there were fewer options, the experience was much better, and the views were great too. The scent in the lobby was pleasant, but a bit too strong; I'd suggest making it a little lighter. I'll definitely choose the Hyatt Regency Qingdao again on my next visit."
