Hotels in Qingdao with sea view​

The hotel is right next to May Fourth Square, just a 10-minute walk away! The room is very spacious, a suite with two bathrooms. The bedroom's bathroom has a separate shower and bathtub, and the ocean view outside is also beautiful! The cleaning lady for the room was exceptionally good, always replenishing mineral water and juice promptly every day. The front desk service was also excellent; sometimes when we returned late and couldn't find a parking spot, they would proactively come to the main entrance to direct and help us find one! Overall, next time I visit Qingdao, this hotel will definitely be on my list!

The B&B's location is fantastic, just a five-minute walk to the seaside. The room was clean and tidy, and the unbeatable sea view was absolutely stunning. In the evenings, we could enjoy the light show and drone performance. The host and auntie were very kind and took great care of us. Thank you so much! 😊

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Qingdao while on a family road trip. It's an older five-star hotel that's been open for years, so the facilities feel a bit dated, but they're well-maintained. The guest rooms have an elegant, understated European retro style with plenty of stone and wrought iron decor, giving off a 'old money' vibe. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a spacious 60-square-meter suite. The layout was excellent with distinct zones, so there was plenty of room for the whole family without feeling cramped. At just over 600 yuan, it offered outstanding value for money. I especially want to praise the bedding – it was soft and breathable, making for a great night's sleep and effectively easing the fatigue from our long drive. The front desk staff were prompt with their service and very friendly towards children. The hotel is centrally located on Hong Kong Middle Road, with convenient parking for those driving, and easy access to the beach and shopping areas. It's truly ideal for family travel.

This was the hotel I was most looking forward to on this trip. I booked it because it was a 5-star resort, hoping to relax with my parents. However, when we drove up to the entrance, there was no one to help with luggage or direct us to parking. The entrance was completely empty. I thought everyone was busy, but once inside the lobby, I saw plenty of staff, yet no one came forward to assist us. This is unheard of in any 5-star hotel I've stayed at. After we went in, my dad asked where the charging stations in the parking lot were, and if they were fast or slow chargers. The staff member couldn't answer any of his questions, saying they'd have to go ask. In the end, we had no choice but to follow the signs and find the parking ourselves. On the bright side, the two rooms we booked could be connected by opening a door to form a single suite, which was a nice experience. Actually, when you approached the staff for something, their attitude was good, but it felt like there were some management issues. For example, after checking out, my mother realized she had left something in the room's refrigerator. I immediately called the front desk, explaining we were driving back to get it and asking if someone could collect the item and leave it at the concierge. The front desk confirmed it was no problem. After driving back to the hotel for about 20 minutes, my mother inquired at the concierge, but the concierge staff had no idea about it. They had to go ask the front desk, and only after getting a confirmation did they go up to the room to retrieve the item. We then waited at the hotel for almost 20 to 30 minutes, which was a very poor experience. Overall, the environment and cleanliness were excellent. The location is in Qingdao's new district, and the surrounding area, plus the sea view terrace, added a lot of points. However, the initial bad experience significantly lowered our overall impression. I hope they can make more improvements. Being able to see the sunrise and sunset over the sea from the room was something I really loved! The breakfast selection was comprehensive and delicious.

True to its Crowne Plaza name, the location is by the sea, and the standard sea-view room offers a comfortable balcony to enjoy the ocean. We booked a two-night stay as part of a package and received two tickets to Sunac Water World and four tickets for Sunac Land, which was incredible value for money. When heading to Sunac Mall, I recommend using the southwest gate; it's more convenient, about 10 RMB away, and Water World is right on the second floor, saving you a long walk. Agatha proactively contacted us beforehand and was available for WeChat communication if we had any questions. She even provided welcome fruit and helped us with a late check-out when we left, so we didn't have to rush to the airport. We arrived just in time – truly thoughtful service, highly commendable! 👍 As a loyal Ctrip customer, I do have a minor piece of feedback: the mattress was too soft, and so were the pillows. This might just be a personal preference, though. Overall, five stars!

Choosing The Westin Qingdao for my trip was an absolute delight, and what truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service from the entire front office team. From check-in upon arrival to answering all my questions throughout my stay and finally a smooth check-out, every step reflected the professional standards of a five-star hotel, far exceeding my expectations. As soon as our car pulled up to the hotel entrance, a front office staff member proactively approached to guide us, thoughtfully directing us to the lobby for check-in. Stepping into the lobby and approaching the reception area, the staff members were consistently warm and friendly in their tone, providing genuine and sincere service, completely devoid of any robotic, impersonal feel. The check-in process was highly efficient and streamlined. During the process, they took the initiative to meticulously explain all key information, including suite privileges, important notes on using the room key card, opening hours for hotel facilities, and 24-hour service contact details. Everything was explained clearly and comprehensively, saving guests the trouble of having to ask individual questions. As it was my first time visiting Qingdao, I wasn't very familiar with the city's attractions or unique touring routes. Initially, I just planned to quickly check in and head to my room to rest. However, the front office staff attentively noticed my travel needs and, combining them with my preferences, patiently shared recommendations for local hotspots, the best times for scenic views, and reliable tour route planning. They thoughtfully helped me avoid crowded areas and proactively identified potential needs I hadn't even voiced, offering personalized suggestions. This spontaneous, heartwarming service instantly melted away the fatigue from my journey. During my several-day stay, whether it was during my daytime excursions or a late-night query, simply calling the front desk for changes in itinerary, booking taxis, local travel tips, or room-related coordination issues, the phone was always answered quickly. The staff consistently maintained a patient and meticulous attitude, diligently listening to my requests and providing practical solutions. Their response time was incredibly fast; there was never any delay, perfunctory response, or passive feedback. It was clear that the entire front office team had well-defined roles and worked seamlessly together, handling various guest inquiries with poise and professionalism. Their professional competence was truly outstanding. At check-out, the front office procedures were equally simple and fast, with no long queues or waiting times. The billing and verification process was transparent and efficient, making the entire experience hassle-free. From the initial reception upon arrival, through the constant support during my stay, to the thoughtful farewell at departure, the front office consistently maintained a steady and heartfelt service, truly ensuring that every need was met and every guest felt cared for. Much of this wonderful stay experience is owed to the meticulous service of the front office team. If I return to Qingdao, I will still prioritize this hotel, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all fellow travelers.

Traveling with kids, my priority was a hotel with direct beach access, which led me to choose the Hyatt Regency Qingdao Shanhai. The location is truly a huge plus! 🌊 You can go straight down to the beach from the hotel and even catch the sunrise over the sea, which significantly enhanced our experience. It's also very close to Wheat Island, Fushan Forest Park, and the Polar Ocean World, making sightseeing and excursions effortless. The executive lounge offers breathtaking views and a wide panorama, and the food quality is excellent; it's a very pleasant spot to relax. A special thanks to Sheila ✨ from the staff. She was incredibly patient and attentive from the booking stage, helping me compare and analyze the executive and sea-view rooms, giving suitable recommendations based on my needs, and enthusiastically suggesting nearby attractions. She also arranged for a child safety rail. Since we were with a child, we also received a complimentary sand play bucket. I initially expected an ordinary freebie, but I was pleasantly surprised by its excellent craftsmanship and quality; my child absolutely loved it. The service throughout our stay was meticulous and thoughtful, making for a truly wonderful overall experience. Highly recommended for families with children! We will definitely choose this hotel again next time we visit Qingdao.

Our stay at the hotel was overall very pleasant. The hotel itself looks absolutely amazing, it truly feels like staying in a castle, both from the outside and inside. Our room had a beautiful sea view, which created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast offered a nice variety of options, and the café with its balcony overlooking the sea was a wonderful place to enjoy coffee. The food at the café was also very good. One of the highlights of our stay was the concierge service. The concierge was extremely helpful, polite, and professional. He assisted us many times with our deliveries and always made a great impression. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming as well. The hotel’s location, away from the city center, is actually a big advantage for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The beach is not crowded, and the swimming pool is usually peaceful and not busy. However, there are some areas where the hotel could improve. The room cleaning service needs more attention. It wasn't good at all. Some cups at breakfast were also dirty or cracked. The service at the café could be improved as well. When we came to order afternoon tea at around 5 PM, one of the young staff members seemed unhappy and impatient because it was close to the end of his working day. After making a short call, we were told that the kitchen was not answering and that they were no longer working. This experience did not feel very welcoming. Though I understand he really wanted to leave work asap, he could share it with his coworker after we left, not in front of us 🤣 The hotel also has a Japanese restaurant, but the staff could not provide clear information about its opening days or availability. We were told it might be open on Thursday and Friday, but it was not certain. Another concern is the small zoo area. animals appeared to be staying outside in the heat all day. In particular, there was a dog kept in a cage outside during very hot weather (around 35°C), which was concerning and seemed unsuitable for the animal’s comfort.. The beach near the hotel was unfortunately quite dirty, which is something that could be improved. Regarding the swimming pools, the indoor pool felt quite cold, especially with the air conditioning, making it difficult to enjoy with a child when the outdoor weather is too hot. The outdoor pool area also has limited comfortable seating. There are only a few lounge chairs, and adding soft cushions or mats would greatly improve the experience and make the area more relaxing. Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere, views, and peaceful location. The hotel has great potential, and with some improvements in service quality, cleanliness, and facilities, it could become an even better experience for guests.

1. **Facilities**: The hotel facilities are a bit old, which is understandable given the hotel is over ten years old. 2. **Service**: Now, let's talk about the service. With older facilities, the service should be even more attentive. But as an old five-star hotel, the Hilton Golden Beach can be said to have no proactive service awareness at all. First, when I arrived by car on the first night, I couldn't find a parking space above ground. I asked the concierge where the underground parking was, and the staff told me the underground parking was full. I had to park on the side of the road, but then he told me I couldn't park there because a bus would come at 7 AM and block its passage. So I had to get up at 6:30 AM the next day to move my car. On the second day, I barely found an above-ground parking space. On the third day, there were no available above-ground spaces again, so I had to ask about the underground parking. The staff again said it was full. I questioned this, asking if it was full every single day for three days. The staff said they needed to manually lift the gate for the underground parking. It was only when I insisted on parking there that the staff took me to the underground parking. Although the underground parking was indeed not large, at least one-third of the spaces were empty. So, I believe the staff simply didn't want guests to park there because they found it troublesome. Additionally, when taking my child to the outdoor pool, two staff members checked room cards when entering the pool, but there was no place to get towels. Since the staff didn't put a child's bathrobe in my room, my child was cold after swimming. I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels, and then the staff had to go find them and bring them to me. Can't the hotel management improve their proactive service awareness? I don't believe I'm the first person to need a towel at that moment. They can have two people checking room cards, but they can't have two people providing towels for guests? 3. **Breakfast**: The hotel's breakfast can be said to have no Qingdao specialties at all. The variety is limited. The breakfast noodle soup has two broth options, seafood and chicken. For a coastal city, you'd at least expect some shrimp in the seafood noodle soup. The chicken soup didn't even have shredded chicken. It was just noodles, broth, and a few vegetable leaves – this is a five-star bowl of noodle soup. I stayed for four nights, and the fruit selection was the same every day: cantaloupe, pear, apple, peach, dragon fruit. In short, it was about the same quality as a cafeteria. 4. **Hygiene**: Needs improvement. The carpets in public areas were dirty and greasy. The baby chairs in the restaurant were also not clean. At breakfast, while I was waiting for the restaurant staff to clean the table, the placemat wasn't very dirty, so they just flipped it over and told me to continue using it. Well, okay. 5. My stay coincided with the summer vacation and the Beer Festival, and the hotel clearly had limited capacity. 6. Thanks to the staff who took me to the underground parking on the third day.

This hotel is right by the sea, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. You're just a few steps away from seeing the ocean, and there are tons of restaurants nearby. The room was absolutely huge, and the price was very reasonable. Shandong people are so generous! Next time I'm in Qingdao, I'm definitely staying here again. Highly recommended!
