3-Star Hotels in Jinan

We stayed at this hotel and overall had a good experience. Pros: 1. The reception staff were very friendly, and check-in was quick and smooth. The room was clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 2. There is a convenient underground parking area in the building, and it also supports electric vehicle charging, which is a big plus. 3. The breakfast was generally good. It is advertised as European and Chinese breakfast, but in reality it is more Chinese-style. However, the food was still tasty and enjoyable. 4. Another big plus is that pets are allowed. A deposit of 300 CNY is required, and that’s all—no other complications. Cons: 1. The windows in the room were quite dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, which affected the overall impression. 2. A more serious issue was the elevators. The hotel is located inside a residential building, so the elevators are shared with residents and staff. Even though there are four elevators (three were operating), we had to wait a long time at any time of the day, which was quite inconvenient. 3. Another downside is that there is no iron or steamer available. If you need to straighten your clothes, there is no option for that in the hotel. Overall: In general, the hotel left a good impression thanks to its cleanliness, friendly staff, and pet-friendly policy, but there are some noticeable practical inconveniences that are worth considering.

I have stayed at this hotel twice before because it’s quite close to the train station but this time, I got a room so small that I had to roll on the bed to get to the other side of the room. The space between the foot of the bed and TV stand was too narrow to comfortably walk through. The hotel is also in an obscure area so the Didi can’t drop /pick you at the door. The staff is very friendly though. Breakfast options are enjoyable but also limited.

The hotel offers a wide variety of breakfast options and has clean and tidy rooms. Highly recommended!

Environment: It takes less than 5 minutes to get to the Laotun subway station, which is very convenient. Hygiene: The room is spacious, clean and tidy, and you can see that it is cleaned frequently. I soaked in the bathtub after a tiring day, which was very comfortable 😌, and I felt that every pore was taken care of. Service: I checked in at almost 11 o'clock in the evening. The waiter was very friendly and not impatient at all. When I entered the room, I saw the prepared snacks. People who like to eat midnight snacks said it was very heartwarming 🥰 Facilities: The do not disturb function in the room is really great. I can sleep until the sun rises the next day. It's really great. Once the curtains are drawn, no one loves them. The airtightness is great. When I left, the souvenirs I was given included masks. Tears welled up in my eyes🥹. I didn't expect there would be so many catkins in Jinan when I came here, so I didn't prepare them. I didn't expect the hotel to be so considerate and prepare them. When I arrived near Baotu Spring, there were as many catkins as the wind. Thanks to the hotel for providing them😷🥳 I will come to this hotel again next time I come to Jinan. The bed is very comfortable and everything is great. I don't want to leave😋

It was a failure to check in. The room was very cold and it showed that it had air conditioning. The temperature was 13 degrees even if it was turned on on the first night. The next day I went to the staff and was told that the main switch of the air conditioner was not turned on and that the air conditioner was a decoration. His house had floor heating, so he asked the maintenance man to turn on the floor heating again on the second night. The room temperature on the second night was 16 degrees, still in the middle of the room, and it was about 12 degrees near the seats. I felt cold. The door lock of the bathroom is broken. If the door is not locked, it cannot be opened from the outside. The front desk has to use tools to open the door. The staff said that this happens often, which delays the work. The worst thing is that the decoration was very noisy when the guests checked in, which affected their rest. I don’t know what materials were used during the construction during the day, and they floated into the room and irritated the eyes, causing tears in the eyes.

My overall stay was very satisfying. The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were complete and well-maintained. The bedding was comfortable, and I slept soundly. The front desk service was enthusiastic and efficient; both check-in and check-out were quick. The location is also convenient for getting around, right above Wanda Plaza. It offers great value for money, and I'll definitely choose Meilun Hotel again next time I visit!

Easy access and near to the airport if you are looking for a place to sleep which is affordable and clean.

It’s within walking distance to Jinan Railway so it’s a good hotel to consider when you are using HSR - but do note that most HSR will go to Jinan West station which is not so near tourist attractions. I cab almost everywhere from this hotel as Jinan’s road traffic is chaotic, making walking to nearby tourist attractions a bit overwhelming for foreigners. It’s not near the metro station but don’t use metro, as it does not lead you directly to attractions like what other China cities do and you need to figure out the transfers. That said it’s within walking distance (20-30min careful walk dodging all the charging scooters and unfriendly cyclists) to the more decent attractions like their old CBD area which is great for street photography. If I am to choose again I’ll stay nearer to the spring clusters since I’m going to cab everywhere anyway as those area seems more vibrant. In addition this hotel appears to host big groups which make having a peaceful breakfast impossible. When I’m trying to have an early breakfast as early as 7am when breakfast start serving so that I can start my day early, I was shocked to see the entire cafeteria crowded with tourists. I have to delay the breakfast for 40min so that I get a place to eat in peace.

The hotel entrance has a bus stop with routes to various attractions, which is quite convenient. A heads-up for light sleepers: make sure to ask the front desk for a room not facing the main road. It gets really noisy; I could still hear sirens past midnight. Aside from that, everything else was great. The breakfast selection was decent, all Chinese style, and for my two-day stay, the dishes changed, which was a thoughtful touch. The hotel staff at the front desk were very kind and helped me switch rooms, saving my sleep on the second night.

This is a wonderful hotel that I happened to be checked in because my original hotel told me that they do not accept foreigners. I have a student visa in China as I am studying in Beijing and decided to travel to Jinan/Qufu on a weekend. Out in the cold at 6 a.m., I reached out to Trip and told the customer service representatived named Russel about my problem. He was quick to help me out. Basically, he booked this hotel for me in exchange of the original booking. Vienna Hotel was far superior than the hotel I originally booked. The hotel wifi is fast, the room is clean, the bathroom is exceptional, and the lobby does not smell of cigarette smoke. I love the front desk officers for checking me in at 9 a.m. They must have noticed how tired I was. The hotel also has a dining area for breakfast. The booking I had did not come with free breakfast but you can pay extra for a decent breakfast with a variety of dishes to choose from. This hotel is not within the city center though but it is close to a subway stop, only 8-10 RMB for a Didi ride. On my second day in Jinan, I left most of my things in my room to head to Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius. I was confident that my things are safe in my room. My two-night stay here really gave me time to rest and relax. Would I stay here again? The answer is a definite ”yes!”
