Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport

Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport

📍 No. 7 Jinhang Road, Jiaozhou
★★★★ 9.4 (15,376 reviews)

"After a very long walk from the airport, I finally reached the hotel. Luckily, this one was right at the entrance, so it was the closest. I requested a quiet room, but it didn't seem like the hotel paid much attention or made any special arrangements. The airplane noise came in waves, but thankfully, my tolerance is pretty good, and it was only for one night as a stopover, so I managed. It was a city view room, and I could see the airport pretty clearly in the morning. Overall, it was okay."

📍 Tower B, Haiyi Tiancheng, No. 29 Donghai West Road, Shinan District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.1 (3,231 reviews)

"The apartment was spacious and very comfortable to stay in. It had 2 bathrooms, which was super convenient, but I really wish there was a bidet spray — it would make the stay perfect 😭 The TV didn’t work at all, though. I was impressed with the housekeeping service. They replaced and refilled everything every day. There’s also a minimart downstairs, which made everything very convenient. Ordering food delivery was easy because the building provided a local Chinese phone number for guests. The location was great, very close to MixC mall, and the sea was just across the area 🌊 However, there were people smoking inside the building and even around the elevator lobby, which made the atmosphere less pleasant. Also, on rainy days the fog was so heavy that the view completely disappeared. But the night view was absolutely stunning — the city lights looked amazing ✨"

"The hotel boasts a convenient location, making it easy to access the Olympic Sailing Center, Badaguan, and other attractions. Our room was spacious and bright, and the service was excellent. Upon check-in, we were assigned a personal butler who connected with us via WeChat, ensuring easy communication and prompt responses to any queries. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including some delicious local specialties. Just across the road is the beach, where we enjoyed the beautiful sunset, dotted with white sails, and a gentle sea breeze. The kids had a fantastic time and even discovered some sea anemones. It was a delightful trip to Qingdao!"

📍 No. 67 Jiaozhou Road, Shibei District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.5 (1,330 reviews)

"The location is super convenient, right above the subway station. It's an old building, but it's been recently renovated on the inside. It's also really close to the train station. Definitely worth staying here, excellent value for money! **Amenities:** They have a new Panasonic hairdryer, which is a plus, but there was some hair on it from a previous guest. No mini-fridge, which isn't great if you want cold drinks in the summer. **Cleanliness:** Good, no weird smells in the room. **Service:** Very good! They even proactively told me about the history of the hotel building."

★★★★★ 9.4 (11,575 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 ★★★★
"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."

"Added them to WeChat and whenever you need something just send the msg and their is response super fast, feel like "am I talking with AI" ^_^ Location is good cuz not too far from May 4th square station which also walkable to the beach. The room is huge enough for 2 bigs size of luggages. I like washing machine with 40 celsius of the water and you can see the light up views from your room window."

Atour Hotel Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport ★★★★
"The hotel room was quite large; even two people would have been very comfortable. The girls who checked me in at reception were very, very friendly. I only used the hotel's airport shuttle service, which was fine, but I couldn't use the airport pickup service; they didn't respond on time. My Chinese isn't very good at calling the hotel directly and making requests. So I would recommend that they be more careful in that regard. (they replied after I had left😆) Overall, the cleanliness was very good. The only issue is that they don't seem to clean the glass wall in the bathroom very often; I hadn't even used it yet and it was already dirty. And just one recommendation: the tea they left in the room was delicious, and I learned that in Chinese culture they don't use sugar in tea. But I'm not Chinese, and I do need something sweet 😁😅😆 They could add a small cookie or something sweet for those of us who need something sweet."

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."

Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square) ★★★★★
"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."

"Prime Location is a key for this property as a few steps to explore area of Zhongshan. You can take public transport like metro to travel around key benchmarks of Qingdao (Zhongshan Road station). Chagee is across the street. You can do self laundry service for free by yourself. Highly recommended."
