Find 5-Star Hotels in Dalian

"Traveling with kids, an apartment-style hotel is incredibly convenient. We could store bread, fruit, and milk bought the day before in the fridge and easily heat them up in the microwave in the morning. While I wasn't entirely sure about the cleanliness of the washing machine, it was still handy for washing adult clothes and then sanitizing them with high heat. After a long day of walking, it was amazing to grab a bath bomb from Miniso downstairs and enjoy a relaxing soak. The hotel has direct access to the mall on the 4th floor, making dining and shopping super easy. The mall is right above the metro station (Convention & Exhibition Center Station) and also has a bus stop, so you can pretty much get to all the main attractions. It's not the newest place, but it was generally clean."

"This hotel sets the benchmark for luxury in Northeast China. The sky lobby offers expansive views (giving off a Guangzhou Rosewood vibe), and overlooking the city instantly creates an amazing atmosphere. The rooms are new and well-equipped, the bedding is soft and comfortable, the dental kit is exceptionally good, and premium toiletries are among the many thoughtful touches. The staff provides attentive and well-measured service, proactively checking in without being intrusive. The restaurant on the 40th floor (for breakfast and other buffet meals) still has room for improvement; it could learn from excellent counterparts in the industry, such as the Hilton Beijing Wangfujing. After booking, staff will contact you in advance and provide convenient services during your stay (similar to the Hong Kong Jockey Club)."

"While the facilities are decent, the soft services are severely lacking, and the room service response time is frustratingly slow. My recent stay at the Cosco Intercontinental Hotel was incredibly disappointing and definitely didn't live up to the pricing or reputation of an international five-star brand. The most unbearable part was when my child had a fever, and I called guest services to ask for a thermometer. They told me they didn't have one and instructed me to call the front desk. The front desk then replied, 'Guest services will send one up to you shortly.' So, do they have one or not? Of course, I returned it to the front desk the next day and immediately went to a pharmacy to buy my own. When a guest requests assistance, especially with a child suddenly falling ill, shouldn't there be a clear response protocol? Zero points for that. On a positive note, Mr. Eric Sun Yong, who works at the entrance, was very enthusiastic and helped guests with their luggage. Also, the lounge staff brought rice for my child two days in a row, which showed an effort to make guests' stay enjoyable."

"The hygiene was good. However, the service and facilities were quite disappointing. First, the facilities aren't just old; the air conditioning wasn't cooling the room at all, making it too hot. Plus, the AC was incredibly noisy. Even the closet light made a loud buzzing sound. This is the first time I've encountered a hotel like this. After the first day's cleaning, the water and tea bags weren't replenished, but they were brought to my room after I called and asked for them."

"My overall stay at Shangri-La Hotel Dalian was excellent. I was very satisfied with the room I was assigned; it was spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The bedding was neatly arranged, making for a very comfortable stay and a great night's sleep. The hotel's location is also fantastic, making it easy to get anywhere by taxi, and Zhongshan Square is within walking distance for photos. Public transportation is very convenient as well. The hotel offers a well-equipped gym and swimming pool, along with a beautiful garden perfect for a stroll and pictures. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Delancy was particularly thoughtful, asking about my stay during check-out and giving me a small gift, which I loved. The check-out process was very quick, saving me a lot of time. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit."

"Nestled halfway up Lianhua Mountain, Yifang Castle stands majestically, a unique landmark in itself, offering stunning views that need no filter. The hotel's sky garden is exquisite and elegant, serving as a perfect observation deck with unobstructed views of the entire Xinghai Bay. The cross-sea bridge, alongside the vast blue sky and ocean, creates a breathtaking panorama. This fairytale castle hotel exceeded expectations with its elegant and clean environment, and well-equipped, comfortable rooms. James provided meticulous and thoughtful service, and the facilities were comprehensive, ensuring the children were happy throughout the stay. The photo opportunities were fantastic, and it offers great value for money. Highly recommended for families with children."

"The location is fantastic, right next to Sunasia Ocean World, and just a few minutes' walk from Xinghai Bathing Beach, Xinghai Square, and Xinghai Park – truly a prime spot. The hotel itself looks quite upscale, and Xiao Yao kept our room very clean and tidy. The afternoon tea is a buffet, which is much more substantial than the usual one-dessert-and-one-drink offering. The bathroom had instant hot water with excellent pressure. We were very happy with all of that. A couple of things could be improved: the power outlet on the desk was quite loose, and overall there weren't enough power outlets in the room. Also, while the elevator is unique, you do have to wait a bit longer when it's busy."

"The guest rooms at Xita Hotel have a rather heavy design style, and the renovation quality is quite poor. However, the overall service is excellent. After checking in, my child suddenly wanted some fruit. I casually asked a staff member, and even though the hotel doesn't usually provide complimentary fruit, two lovely staff members brought three fruits (a banana, an orange, and an apple) for my child. While not particularly fancy, it truly warmed my heart. I believe these fruits were probably their personal snacks. They even brought a rocking horse for my child to play with. One of the staff members was named Liu Lili – I apologize for forgetting the other lady's name. I'm incredibly grateful for their kindness and enthusiasm! Given the room rate is around a thousand yuan, I'd suggest the hotel should definitely offer complimentary fruit and small snacks. The cost is negligible, but it would make guests feel even more appreciated, otherwise, you might lose business to other hotels! Also, the hotel breakfast was very ordinary, which was disappointing."

"The hotel boasts great views and the staff are very friendly. We even received complimentary welcome fruit. However, I was surprised to find that the mini-bar items were chargeable. The hotel lobby is on the second floor, and since we transferred from another hotel, it was quite inconvenient to get there with all our luggage. I asked a staff member for directions, and they pointed to a driveway. Only later did I discover there's a side entrance with an escalator that leads directly to the second-floor lobby. All in all, for the stunning views alone, I'd still highly recommend it."

"I saw reviews mentioning it was an older hotel before I went, so I was a bit worried about outdated facilities. However, after checking in, I found it to be quite good! While some furniture and wallpaper definitely show their age, I think it's acceptable. You can tell from the pictures that the hotel has a good aesthetic, and they've clearly put in time and effort to maintain it well. The front desk service during check-in was just right – very friendly but not overly enthusiastic. I got an upgraded room thanks to my Trip.com benefits, and they even reminded me that I could get discount coupons at the Japanese restaurant on the third floor. The hotel's swimming pool is very well-maintained! The water quality is excellent. Probably because the shallowest part is 1.7 meters deep, everyone there is actually serious about swimming! It's fantastic!!! Big thumbs up! The only slight disappointment was that there are quite a few foreign guests at the hotel. Despite clear signs in both Chinese and English, with large notices on the door to the hot spring area stating no electronic devices are allowed, I still encountered a foreigner doing exactly that. I immediately spoke up. From her reaction, it didn't seem like she was unaware. I hope the hotel can strengthen its management; these rules shouldn't only apply to obedient local guests, otherwise, it's really quite unsafe. Perhaps they could add an extra reminder during check-in and when getting keys for the changing room. They shouldn't avoid saying anything due to language barriers or fear of trouble (after all, every time I went to get the changing room key, I was reminded of the closing time)."
