Jinan Hotels with Balcony

I usually don't write reviews, but this hotel truly touched me with all its thoughtful details! I used to work in international-star hotels over a decade ago, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to accommodations. Most hotel operations are formulaic, and it's rare for one to genuinely surprise me! Dining: Afternoon tea, breakfast or brunch (perfect for those who sleep in!), complimentary mini-bar... the list goes on. Accommodation: My casual photos simply can't do justice to the quality of the room's hardware! It's excellent! Truly, truly excellent hardware! What surprised me most was that the standard toiletries in the room were Frédéric Malle! In my opinion, this is true luxury fragrance! I always make a point to buy Frédéric Malle perfumes whenever I go to Europe! What a delightful surprise! Service: Absolutely top-notch! Excellent in every single aspect! I couldn't find a single flaw! Even though our family was just passing through Jinan on our trip, this hotel made the journey incredibly memorable!

This stay was absolutely perfect! The service from Shiyi Yileng was incredibly attentive. Check-in was super efficient, they proactively helped with my luggage, and even thoughtfully provided tips for local attractions. The room was clean and tidy, with all the amenities one could need, making for a truly comfortable stay. I'm genuinely grateful for Shiyi Yileng's dedicated service; it's excellent value for money, and I'll definitely be back!

Good reviews, good reviews, good reviews🌹🌹🌹 Facilities: The hotel has complete facilities and a small independent courtyard. It is very quiet and comfortable, without the hustle and bustle of the city, just like a paradise. Free parking in the hospital and new energy charging piles are so convenient, completely eliminating the worries of new energy car owners looking for charging piles. Hygiene: The hotel's hygiene is very good, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the stay is very comfortable. The hotel lobby is also very tidy, giving people a warm feeling of returning home. Service: There is nothing to say about the service. The lady at the front desk saw that we had children and felt that the 1.5-meter bed in the zero-pressure king room we booked would be a bit crowded, so she upgraded it to a 1.8-meter king room for free. The front desk also prepared some for the children. There were many small toys and snacks, and the children had a lot of fun playing with them. Fruits are given for check-in, and small gifts are given for check-out, which makes people feel warm. Transportation: The hotel is 3 to 4 kilometers away from several scenic spots in Jinan such as Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, Dafo Temple, Furong Street, Quancheng Square, etc. It is very convenient to travel by car, taxi, and bus. There is a bus stop at the door with multiple routes. The bus goes directly to the attractions, which is very convenient. Catering: Because the room type was booked earlier, it was very cost-effective and did not include breakfast. I upgraded to a membership at the front desk for 99 yuan, and breakfast for 4 adults and 1 child was perfectly solved. The breakfast at the hotel is very good, very rich and delicious. I feel that two days of breakfast has greatly increased my appetite and I can eat a lot😁

This was the most pleasant surprise during my trip to Jinan! The hotel is located inside Daming Lake, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The room had great natural light, the wet and dry areas were separate, clean, and odorless, and the amenities were complete. The staff were responsive and provided attentive and warm service. Strolling along the lake in the morning, you can fully immerse yourself in the charm of the 'Spring City'. It offers excellent value for money and I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Jinan.

This is no doubt that No 8 Courtyard Homestay is beautiful place to stay. As international visitors to China it was exactly as we hoped for when we booked. Authentic traditional Chinese accommodation with modern hotel facilities in a fabulous location. It’s very quiet despite the proximity to the busier areas nearby. However, we were very disappointed to find the Homestay misrepresents information about smoking that was important to our accomodation choices and selection on Trip.com. As the photo from the website below shows, No Smoking in Public Areas, there is a Smoking Area. The smell of cigarette smoke was very evident on our arrival in both the courtyard, and the internal reception area. We questioned the hotel receptionist who explained smoking is permitted in certain areas, including the Courtyard that guests enter and exit every time to go in or out of the Homestay. The Courtyard is an outdoor public space and the Homestay smoking area (as per the photo of the ashtray in the Courtyard below). It’s unavoidable. While the reception area is internal, the receptionist explained guests are asked not to smoke if they are smoking. Furthermore, the Homestay provides hotel style ashtrays as the entrances to the elevator and we pointed out there was a cigarette butt in the ashtray, evidence of smoking despite the information on Trip.com. There were no visible ‘no smoking signs’. This meant that we would not enjoy the beautiful public spaces of eitber the Courtyard or the Reception area without cigarette smoke or other guests smoking. The receptionist suggested to us we find another hotel, at nearly 10pm we found this was unsatisfactory. She offered for us to stay and pay one night (of our 3 night booking) but this was a problem for our itinerary. The following day we were offered to change to a room with its own courtyard which we did. However, we would never have booked this accommodation if the correct information about smoking by the Homestay was on Trip.com. As hotel guests have to trust 100 hundred percent that the information on the website is accurate and we reiterated this when the manager came to meet us. The filters for non smoking on Trip.com are very good. But, the Homestay allows smoking in the outside public areas, and internal public areas are only managed if the staff ask the guests not to smoke. The reception told us that does not stop the guests from smoking and they can’t control that. The manager said the Homestay would review its smoking policy. Regardless of this, It is necessary for the Homestay not to misrepresent information but to provide accurate information on their booking platforms.

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 front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful during check-in. The room was spotless, especially the bed, and you could tell the quality was excellent everywhere. Plus, the breakfast spread was rich and varied. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely choose this hotel again! They offer free parking and free self-service laundry. The staff are friendly, and most importantly, the price is very reasonable. What more could you ask for in a hotel?

Chose this hotel for my trip and it exceeded my expectations. The lobby is artsy and quiet, and the room was meticulously cleaned. The toiletries were high-quality. The mattress and pillows were incredibly comfortable; I slept soundly all night. The staff were friendly and responded quickly to requests. Great value for money, definitely my top choice for accommodation.

Like the hotel room and service, I feel the grand strength of the hotel very much, the hotel is in a good location, I want to do everything very conveniently, it is a super hotel worth sharing with you. grateful.

This hotel really exceeded my expectations! My one-night stay was fantastic: the room was clean and tidy, the Wi-Fi was super fast, and the hot water was plentiful and at a great temperature. The location is incredibly convenient, with a station right outside. Absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit, highly recommended~
