Grand Hotel Qinhuang

I wouldn't recommend staying here. Everything about it was subpar, from the cleanliness to the management – it definitely doesn't meet the expected standards. No wonder its rating is low.

First time staying at this hotel, and it was a pleasant experience avoiding the crowds. The breakfast buffet had a limited variety, but the taste was decent. The late-night snack options were a bit monotonous. The room was clean, and the service was good. I just wish there were more breakfast options. It's quite convenient for ordering takeout.

The hotel was decent. The lobby was quite grand, but I wasn't initially happy with the room I was assigned. However, the staff actively helped to resolve the issue, which was good. Overall, it meets five-star standards. That said, the landscaping around the hotel wasn't very well maintained and could use some improvement!

Walking into the room and seeing the ocean from the window initially made me happy, but then I looked down and saw a green fly. My child almost reached for it! I called the supervisor, who said the room had definitely been cleaned and the fly must have come in when the window was open for ventilation. To apologize, they offered a fruit platter. My parents are easygoing and just said it was fine, so I didn't push it further. I actually thought they should have at least changed our room and re-cleaned it, or offered breakfast, which would have been more practical. Anyway, my first impression wasn't great. Not sure what else to say.

Facilities: As an older hotel, the facilities are indeed quite dated. It's fine if you're looking for a nostalgic experience, but it falls short compared to modern smart hotels. Hygiene: Overall, it was relatively clean, but it felt a bit old and worn as soon as I entered. Environment: The location is quite good, just a short walk to the beach. Many rooms also offer direct sea views. The hotel lobby still has a grand feel. Service: The staff are quite professional, and the service is decent. However, the hotel's amenities themselves aren't great. For example, the complimentary movie viewing is actually in a small, old room with a projector. The main issue is that the internet speed is terrible, making it practically unusable. I'm not sure what the point of this 'perk' is. Transportation: It's fairly convenient, and there are a decent number of parking spaces, though it might be difficult to park during peak season. Food: The breakfast experience was average, nothing memorable. The complimentary late-night snack was quite stingy. It can't even be compared to the late-night porridge at Atour. Value for money: I'd only recommend staying here during the off-season if you want to be close to the beach; I wouldn't highly recommend it at other times.

The room was quite spacious and close to the beach. It might be a bit old as the facilities are just okay, and there are no USB ports. The service was average. I stayed for two nights, and they pre-authorized a deposit of 2500 RMB. I checked out this morning a little after 5 AM, and it's now 2:30 PM, but the overcharged amount hasn't been refunded yet. Perhaps I haven't stayed in many 5-star hotels, but I find it unusual that they charged a deposit instead of the actual room rate.

The hotel is a bit old, but it's clear they've put effort into maintaining it, as all the facilities are still in pretty good shape. The service was also great! A special shout-out to a handsome young man at the front desk, Mr. Mei. He was incredibly patient and helpful with our room change and other requests, and I'm very grateful for his assistance. Finally, I have to complain about the children's play area, 'Little Ant.' It seemed largely unmanaged, quite dirty and messy, and some of the equipment had obvious safety hazards. For example, there was a slide that was too steep and could easily cause foot injuries.
