Hotels in Zhongshan Square/Renmin Road Donggang Commercial Area, Dalian

Although the hotel is listed as the 'Zhongshan Square branch,' it's actually just a short tram ride on Route 201 from Dalian Station to Sanba Square, and the Xihe Hotel is directly across the street. Being in Dalian's old town, the hotel building definitely shows its age, looking a bit worn. The laundry room on the first floor seems like a later addition. The room facilities are a bit dated, but the cleanliness is decent. Soundproofing isn't great, and breakfast isn't included. The good news is that there's a night market and regular market right next to the hotel, along with plenty of other shops and businesses nearby. Transportation is convenient, and finding food is a breeze.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights during my trip to Dalian, and it was a great experience. The room was spacious and bright, with twin beds, a coffee table, a sofa, and a mini-fridge. The bathroom and toilet were in separate small rooms, and there was also a separate washroom, so there was plenty of space. The bedding was clean, relatively new, and very comfortable to sleep on. You need your room card to access the upper floors, which felt very secure. Within a five-minute walk, there's the Youhao Square subway station and a Lawson convenience store. I received welcome fruits upon check-in, and the staff were proactive and friendly in their service.

I brought my family to Dalian for a short trip and stayed at the Guoshi Hotel. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and giving it a five-star rating. The location is perfect for traveling with seniors and children; it's very close to the Gangwan Square subway station, making it easy to get to major attractions without dragging luggage around. There are breakfast shops and fruit stores downstairs, so getting food is very convenient. You can also walk to the shopping district without needing to drive. The value for money completely exceeded my expectations; it's rare to find such spacious and clean rooms at this price in a city center location. The room was meticulously cleaned, and the beds were wide enough for my whole family to stay comfortably without feeling cramped. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, which is very convenient when showering with kids, and the hot water supply is stable. The soundproofing is good too, so we weren't disturbed by hallway noise. The front desk service was thoughtful; check-in was simple and quick, and they were always ready to help when needed. Most hotels at a similar price point nearby are often small and have average hygiene, but this one is well-balanced in all aspects, offering a comfortable stay without breaking the bank. My whole family feels we made the right choice, and we'll definitely prioritize booking this hotel again when we visit Dalian next time.

Came to Dalian with my parents and two kids. We disembarked at Dalian Port at 5 AM and walked about 20 minutes to the guesthouse. I had arranged with the host beforehand to drop off our luggage early. Huge thanks to them for providing the early morning luggage storage service! The room was very clean and tidy; the photos were taken just before we left. Whenever I messaged the host with a question, they responded promptly. I'd definitely recommend this place if any relatives or friends come to visit Dalian.

The price is proportional to what you get. I really appreciate the ample common spaces. However, the shared kitchen, convenience store, cafe, and yoga classes mentioned in the description are currently unavailable. It would be great if the information could be updated.

Choosing the right hotel is so important when traveling with family! The room was spacious, spotless, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring my child slept soundly. The staff were incredibly patient and the service was thoughtful and meticulous. The hotel's surroundings are quiet and safe, with plenty of attractions and dining options nearby, and excellent amenities. Our family felt relaxed and comfortable during our stay. It's perfect for family trips, highly recommended!

The space, cleanliness, location, and price were all quite good, and I was very satisfied. The overall value for money of the stay was excellent! However, I was unfortunately scammed by the day trip vendors right outside the entrance. A man enthusiastically offered to help with my luggage, and I thought he was assisting with check-in. In reality, he was trying to sell a Dalian Port day trip for 58 yuan. This money was a commission for the tour agency. Most of the time was spent at paid attractions, watching poor-quality performances, and taking a dilapidated sailboat out to sea (which normally costs 50 yuan per person, but they charged 260). The guide constantly pushed sales throughout the trip, which was incredibly annoying. They kept asking for more money, and the attractions we visited were all rather unappealing. It seems the guesthouse allows this tour agency to set up stalls right outside. This was the only downside. Avoid this at all costs – don't be tempted by the seemingly cheap offer.

The room was great, with excellent facilities and good soundproofing. However, the hotel's name is a bit of a headache because there's another Snail Hotel less than 100 meters away. This makes it very easy for food deliveries and package shipments to go to the wrong place, no matter how detailed your address is. I almost lost a package once; I called the delivery person back and forth four or five times, and they kept saying it was left at the front desk. But when I asked the front desk, they said, ”We don't accept packages, we haven't seen it.” Turns out, the delivery person immediately found it in a cabinet at the front desk. Honestly, it's quite frustrating, and I won't be staying here again. Also, the room is not cleaned at all; they only empty the trash and replenish disposables. How am I so sure? Because the duvet and pillows were exactly as I left them when I went out, and the hair in the shower drain was clogging it up, which I had to clean myself.

Special thanks to Xiao Jia for sharing such a comprehensive city guide! The itinerary perfectly balanced attractions both near and far, came with a list of affordable and authentic local eateries, and even included thoughtful reminders about the weather and parking spots. Xiao Jia was incredibly kind and considerate, with an all-encompassing plan. The service was meticulous and professional, and they even offered luggage storage after check-out.

The price is good and the location is decent. There's always security to help with parking. Breakfast is just okay, nothing special. Even though it's a newly renovated hotel in 2024, the shower is still over a wide and high bathtub. It's really easy to slip and fall when stepping out after a shower because the floor gets wet. There's an outlet next to the toilet, but it's an old-style toilet with low flushing power. The funniest thing is that the air conditioning was under maintenance during the May Day holiday? So we could only open the windows for ventilation. Dalian's weather has been so unpredictable lately, hot one minute and cold the next, so not being able to control the room temperature was really uncomfortable. Plus, it was noisy with the windows open. This is really unreasonable; they totally could have checked and fixed it beforehand.
