Hotels With bar in Shandong, China

Traveling from Shanghai during the Dragon Boat Festival, I booked a stay at Shangri-La Jinan through Ctrip. The hotel is centrally located, making it incredibly convenient to visit all the major attractions. The front desk staff, particularly Louise Zhao, provided attentive and thorough service, patiently explaining local sights to visit. Plus, there's a 10% discount at the lobby bar when booking through Ctrip. Even though it was a holiday with high occupancy and a busy flow of guests, the overall service was thoughtful, making for a truly perfect stay!

The location is great, and the service is decent; the butler was very responsive. Stepping out of the backyard leads right to a huge beach, which is perfect for kids. The indoor swimming pool is clean and not crowded, with a dedicated splash area for toddlers, which is really excellent. There's also a large outdoor pool in the backyard that's very nice. All in all, the kids loved it and had a blast. My wife, on the other hand, felt the hotel was a bit dated and wasn't too fond of it, finding parts of it a bit unclean. However, it's really just the wear and tear of time, as the hotel has been open for 15 years, so it's bound to show its age. Overall, I still think it's a very good place, and I might even go back in the future.

The Westin Qingdao has an excellent location, very close to May Fourth Square and the commercial district, making it super convenient for getting around, sightseeing, shopping, and finding places to eat. Staying on the Executive Floor offered outstanding views; I could take in the stunning sea views right from my window. The Executive Lounge experience was superb, with a wide variety of food. The staff were attentive and responsive, providing meticulous service throughout my stay. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay, perfect for a trip to Qingdao.

My stay at the Orange Crystal Hotel (Qingdao May Fourth Square) far exceeded my expectations! The hotel clearly puts a lot of effort into its brand culture; there's a story about the brand's origins on the bedside table, and reading it truly gives you a sense of their original vision, creating a wonderful ambiance. Early in my stay, there was a strange noise in my room. After contacting the front desk, they handled it incredibly efficiently, without much back-and-forth. They immediately arranged a room change, and the new room type was perfect. The soundproofing in the new room was excellent; it was quiet all night, and I couldn't hear any guests in the adjacent rooms, which made for a very restful sleep. I especially want to commend the self-service laundry room. It's managed by dedicated staff and fully equipped with disinfectant and antibacterial laundry detergent. I missed the pick-up time for my laundry, and the staff thoughtfully folded my clothes neatly and placed them in a special laundry bag. Such attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Throughout my stay, the service was exceptionally warm. Every staff member I encountered on the way would proactively greet guests politely and appropriately. It wasn't just standardized service; they truly went the extra mile with their thoughtful touches. The location is excellent, making travel convenient. For those who value details and service quality, this hotel is definitely worth choosing!

The room's bed was very clean, just like the rest of the hotel, and the mattress was so soft, making for a very comfortable sleep. The bathroom facilities were also excellent, with both squat toilets and regular commodes, plus speakers in the shower! They even provide a travel guide upon check-in, which is fantastic! There's a huge viewing deck with an amazing view of Daming Lake and Chaoran Tower, and the night view is absolutely stunning! And there's an adorable little pig too!

The hotel upgraded us to the 28th floor, which had an even better view! We had a small issue during our stay, but the hotel's service was incredibly humane and proactive. They gave us a complimentary breakfast for two and sent us fruit. Another time, I urgently needed a computer to check something, and the hotel helped me resolve it within 2 minutes. The hotel is 500 meters from the Third Bathing Beach, perfect for an evening stroll with beautiful scenery and a beach along the way. The location is convenient for getting anywhere, and it's just a short taxi ride to the Olympic Sailing Center. I highly recommend it with a 10/10!

The parking lot has ample spaces, the plaza is large, and parking is free. The lobby manager, Ms. Liu Xin, was very welcoming, and the front desk staff were also very professional. The concierge provided luggage storage, excellent assistance with getting in and out of vehicles, and package pickup services. Overall, the experience was excellent. The rooms have large, bright windows, and the breakfast was delicious and varied. The location is convenient, with many restaurants nearby. Transportation is very convenient. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay. Hot towels and warm water were available at the bar for handwashing.

Choosing the right hotel for my trip to Rizhao was absolutely worth it! The Puyue Zhiya Seaview Hotel has an amazing location, within walking distance to the beach, and the sea view rooms offer a fantastic panorama. The rooms are clean, tidy, and well-equipped, offering excellent value for money. I have to give a special shout-out to Xiao Jie, the front desk attendant! Her efficiency was incredible; check-in was completed in just three minutes, and she explained all the information clearly and thoroughly. Her attitude was incredibly thoughtful – she proactively helped with my luggage, patiently shared practical tips for local sightseeing and where to eat seafood, and when I temporarily needed toiletries, they were delivered very quickly. Professional and warm-hearted service! My entire experience was fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Rizhao, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning a visit!

Excellent stay! Parking was very convenient, and the service was top-notch. The room was spacious with new facilities, and it was great to have laundry available. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the breakfast was abundant with excellent service. The room itself was clean, tidy, and comfortable.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the hotel. Upon check-in, we were given two popsicles and two beers. We were told that we could enjoy free-flow beer from check-in until 10 PM. We're not big drinkers, but the beer was really good, haha. The check-in experience was excellent, and the service was also great. Every staff member at the hotel was enthusiastic and polite, which was a huge plus. The hotel is very close to Beer City. We really wanted to experience the lively atmosphere there, but when we asked a waitress at the 1903 Beer Workshop, she told us that we just needed to consume something at their place and didn't need to go to Beer City behind it. Later, we felt this waitress was really unhelpful. She told us which tables were reserved and that reserved tables didn't have a minimum spend, then she tried to guide us to tables that *did* have a minimum spend, saying we could order a set meal. We don't like set meals, and a minimum spend is fine, but not everyone likes everything in a set meal. Later, a male server told us there was no minimum spend regardless of where we sat. We didn't order a set meal, just what we wanted, but we found the food to be generally not good and wouldn't recommend it. After dinner at the 1903 Beer Workshop, it was late, but we still went to Beer City behind it and it was very lively. We feel the worst part about this hotel was some of the female staff at the 1903 Beer Workshop; their service attitude was a bit poor. They really need some training.
