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 is clean and cozy. The location is very convenient as well as it is very near Jinanxi railway station. There are also restaurants around the place. Overall, we had a great time and we wiĺl stay here again next time.

I think the hotel should separate the guests and the married ones. The corridor was noisy until 1am. At 6:30am, several children started playing with balloons in the corridor. The door was opened and closed countless times, and the cleaning was also frequent. There was a mixture of chatting and laughing all morning. I specifically asked for quietness because I couldn't sleep well. It was right across from me. Is there a misunderstanding about quietness? I was dizzy and my eyes hurt all day.

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.

This hotel is located in Jinan Gaoxin Wanda Plaza. You enter through Y1 gate and take the hotel's dedicated elevators (4 or 5) to the 19th-floor reception for check-in. The hotel is directly across from Shandong Energy Group, making it one of the closest hotels to it. The three reception staff were warm, generous, and provided excellent service. The room was clean and hygienic, and being on a high floor, it was very quiet at night. Breakfast, also on the 19th floor, was very rich and plentiful.

The hotel is conveniently situated 15 minutes away from the airport by the hotel shuttle bus, situated in an industrial area close to the airport. The hotel itself was great, clean, and comfortable, and had all the things you needed for a good stay and overnight quiet sleep. The room itself was great. I had some confusion when I got up in the morning to get the shuttle bus to the airport at 5.30 am But was told the only shuttle bus had left at 5 am! Why did someone not clearly explain this to me? Most hotels I have stayed at near the airport in the past, have shuttle buses every 30 minutes to the airport in the early mornings. I sought the help of the young girl receptionist to assist me in getting a taxi quickly. But she seemed annoyed that I had disturbed her early morning routine when she was only interested in completing her phone video game! And not helping me! Unbelievable! The girl receptionist said that the Hotel does not have a contact taxi service. I gave the receptionist my phone and she finally found a taxi service and I made it to the airport. My Chinese was not good enough to do all this myself. But overall, a good nights stay and a good hotel.

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!”
