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."

★★★★★ 9.8 (31,978 reviews)

"Lovely stay at HaiTian Hotel these three nights. I originally booked a Mountain View room but didn’t realise that it doesn’t have a bathtub. Ruby 小蒋 was super hospitable, she was prompt with helping me change my room to one with a bathtub. The room was amazing, with sea view and city view on both sides of the window. Air con was slightly cold so I had to turn it off and on during my awake time. Breakfast was good with the a huge selection of delicacies and a lovely sea view. The hotel has a salon which seems very clean and professional but I didn’t have time to try it. The pool was decent and the gym was spacious and well equipped. I highly recommend this hotel and would come again in the future."

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

📍 No. 67 Jiaozhou Road, Shibei District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.5 (1,348 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."

"The hotel was very clean and the service was excellent. It's a newly opened hotel, very tidy, and parking is convenient. It's great value for money. The front desk upgraded my room, but the soundproofing was a bit poor. The guy next door snored so loudly around 3 or 4 am that I couldn't sleep at all."

Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao

Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao

📍 No. 9, Hong Kong Middle Road, Shinan District, Qingdao
★★★★★ 9.4 (11,571 reviews)

"Facilities: Absolutely five-star hotel facilities, and the hardware is well-maintained. The front desk gave me a connecting room, which was very convenient for taking care of my elderly parents. Much appreciated. The swimming pool is definitely a highlight, with both hot and cold plunge pools in the changing rooms. Cleanliness: The housekeeping staff cleaned daily and replenished drinking water promptly. Environment: The lobby environment is excellent, elegant and grand, and prices are reasonable. Location: Situated on Hong Kong Middle Road, Qingdao's most bustling CBD. It's within walking distance to May Fourth Square, and a small door from the lobby leads directly to MixC Mall. Extremely convenient. Breakfast: A wide variety of options; my favorite was the smoked salmon. However, it gets quite crowded during peak hours, and the seating arrangements are a bit too cramped. Not enough space. Overall, my three-day stay was a great experience. It's the most cost-effective five-star hotel on Hong Kong Middle Road."

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."

Haiyi International Apartment ★★★★
"The room was spacious and the butler service was very responsive. Having a kitchen and washing machine in the room was super convenient. The only downsides were the weak water pressure in the shower and the large, but useless, bathtub. Several lights were out and hadn't been replaced, which made it feel a bit less than a five-diamond experience."

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 ★★★★★
"The hotel boasts an excellent location, offering sea views from both the rooms and the restaurant. Transportation is also very convenient, with May Fourth Square and Badaguan within walking distance. The hotel breakfast offers a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes, and the dining environment is clean and cozy. The room was spacious and bright, with a well-thought-out layout and complete amenities (the smart features were very convenient), and it was spotlessly clean. The staff member, Ginny, was both professional and thoughtful, and I appreciate her meticulous care every day. My stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to everyone!"

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."
