Yuetu Seaview Holiday Apartment Reviews

Not the worst place I’ve ever stayed but a little bit dirty. It’s OK ultimately I think a decent seaside spot.

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed in…ever. I’ve stayed in a few hotels in different cities of China and have not yet experienced such difficulty in communicating/ checking in and out. I would certainly not recommend this hotel to anyone, whether you speak Chinese or not and hope that staff from the hotel can read through my feedback and experience. Summary of main issues; 1: There is no reception desk and no obvious check in/ check out process. Security guards operate the front desk and couldn’t have possibly been more unhelpful. Refused to believe I didn’t speak Chinese and wouldn’t talk into my translate app either. Took me over an hour to check in as the security guard wasn’t sure if I was in the right hotel, and appeared to not know what I should do. Eventually he called a member of staff and then took me up to a room (which definitely was upsold in the pictures on trip.com but that’s for another point). Check out was also horrendous. I was in a rush as I wanted to do a few touristy things before my train but I had to deal with the same security guard again. He couldn’t communicate how to check out, and took me an hour of going back and forth between floors, calling the hotel contact number, and asking other guests in the hotel before I found out you have to go to a specific room on the 9th floor to hand roomcard back. Waste of my time and horrible end to trip. This should have been detailed in the booking information. The lady in this room wasn’t even there and there was a queue of people waiting by the time she turned up. Due to the lack of reception staff I didn’t feel like there was anything I could do to complain about/ rectify the disgraceful condition of the room either. 2. Room was not as seen in the pictures on trip.com. I stayed in a premium double room, which was filthy. Dirty everywhere and hadn’t been properly cleaned/ maintained. See pictures for comparison. 3. Bathroom in awful condition. Exposed tiles in the bathroom revealing old plasterboard. Mouldy patch with wallpaper flaking off in the bathroom too - please see pictures. I felt very uncomfortable using this bathroom. Mirror was also grotty, and open packets of disposable toothbrushes left for me to use. Furthermore, no hand soap is provided at this hotel. Drainage issue in the shower meant I had to shower in a puddle of water which would spill into the bathroom - plus nowhere to hang up towels. All in all, felt like a public toilet. 4. Mouldy food and an unwashed/ mouldy towel was left in the cupboard under the sink. Also pictured. 5. There is an ancient boiler right by the bed that makes a continuous sound of trickling water that was highly annoying. 6. Furthermore the bed was not comfortable and had only 2 small pillows (for a queen bed). This was not a cheap hotel stay so I expect better. In summary, I am beyond disappointed with my stay at this hotel and rank it my worst hotel experience of all time. If I’d arrived earlier on the night on Friday I would have 100% left this hotel and searched for another place to stay. If any member of staff sees this and reads this far, under normal circumstances I would expect full compensation for my stay, and some explanation for the disgraceful state of my room. If you are going to accept foreigners to stay here, I encourage you to communicate the checkout and checkin process with them upon booking, and educate the security guard on the process too if they are to be the only point of contact with people staying here.

strategis place

We had an apartment on the 3rd floor. There was some dirt left in the bathroom, the drain was partly clogged by hairs which you dont immediately see, because it is under a cover. Inside the apartment there are stairs leading to a second level but upstairs there is nothing except for an additional bed and no windows. Its a little unhandy that you need to go to the 9th floor of the neighbouring building to check in. The view from the main apartment is pretty nice, one can see the sea from the bed! Location is also nice, close to the seafront.

Overall good👍

Nice sea view

This is the worst room I've ever stayed in. As soon as I walked in, I could smell a strong smell of sewage. The desk and coffee table were not cleaned, the wall putty was falling off, there was mold under the mattress, and there was no TV! The price was over 400 yuan, which was too expensive!

The hotel is in a great location. It is the best choice for tourists who come to Qingdao to see the sea. ✌️ The shopping center is nearby. I will stay here again next time I travel. 👍

I was surprised when I entered the room. I booked a room for 6 people, with a big bed, a tatami, and a small bed. There were two locked doors. Surprisingly, there was a pillow and a quilt on the big bed, but nothing else, just a cushion and a bed. I called the hotel, and they came over with a small fire. They opened a door for me, which was a small kitchen with quilts, and then locked it again. They went upstairs to open a room with two big beds, and told me to live inside. How could they let me live outside? The most important thing is that the door of the room was locked at the beginning. The hygiene was special. It was dirty everywhere. There were a lot of hair on the ground. The kettle looked disgusting. The water downstairs and upstairs could not be used at the same time. Only 2 bath towels were given, and you had to ask for them yourself. When I asked the front desk if there was a place to park, they said yes. They asked me for the license plate number and asked me to pay a parking fee of 30 yuan. I said that I had to pay the fee if I didn't park the car. It was not recommended to bring children. The hygiene was not good. The doors of the room were locked. The bedding was placed very casually, not to mention the service, which was not there at all. The locked door gave people a feeling of insecurity.

This is my second time in Qingdao and my second time staying in this hotel. I am satisfied as always. There is the sea outside the window. I can sit by the window and enjoy the scenery and the sea breeze. The room environment is also very good, simple and comfortable. I like this B&B very much.

I came to Qingdao to take my children to see the sea. I didn't expect that the house I booked had such a good view of the sea. Lying in the house was the purpose of traveling. I recommend it.

The service is very good, and everything is communicated in time. My girlfriend's waist protector and facial cleanser were left at the hotel and the front desk informed us in time, but we had already left by car, so they mailed them to us on the same day. In addition, the sea view and room facilities are very good, and the cost performance is relatively high

The room was great, clean and tidy, and felt like home. Opposite the sea, it was an unbeatable sea view room, with large landscape glass, a great view, and tatami, perfect. The front desk lady was patient and enthusiastic, and it was also very convenient to take the subway to Qingdao North Railway Station

A decent sea view room, the room is clean and hygienic, the front desk is very considerate, I will come again next time
