5-Star Hotels in Jinan

I was here for a competition at the Shandong Exhibition Center next door. The hotel itself is great, with good facilities. The room was 52 square meters and the amenities were all very new. The hotel lobby is on a high floor with great views, but the elevators were inconvenient and I couldn't get used to them. The surrounding area is quite desolate, making it inconvenient to walk to find food or go shopping.

I stayed here for a Zhou Shen concert, and the hotel is very close to the Olympic Sports Center. It's about a ten-minute walk from the hotel to the south entrance of the stadium. Plus, the Long'ao Building Station on Metro Line 3 is right next to the hotel, and you can take one stop to the Olympic Sports Center to transfer to Line 4. The staff provided excellent service, and the robot delivery for room service was very fast. I highly recommend this hotel if you're coming to Jinan for a concert.

First off, let's talk about the hotel's location. It's right at the beginning of Shangxin Street, which is full of unique little shops. It's quiet and great for browsing, and it's only about a 10-minute walk to Baotu Spring Park through the alleys of Shangxin Street – very convenient. There's also an architecture museum directly across from the hotel if you have time to visit. Now, about the hotel itself. It's not large, just one building, and it recently opened. However, there's absolutely no strange smell in the rooms, and the interior design is very thoughtful. I particularly loved the bathroom design; it completely avoids the common pitfall of some trendy places that look good but aren't functional. Even the disposable slippers were tasteful, haha! You can also choose a relaxing aromatherapy scent for your room. The breakfast was also very generous. The best part, though, was the late check-out option until 4 PM. This meant after visiting the park in the morning, I could come back for a nap – that was incredibly convenient!

After our May Day trip to Dongying and Weifang, we passed through Zhangqiu on our way back to Shanxi. We found this unique B&B online and were quite taken by it. Overall, the B&B has a lot of character. Our family of six booked two rooms, and they thoughtfully placed us in the same courtyard. The courtyard is beautiful, with a camping table and a rocking chair. The rooms are Japanese-style with a balcony, offering lovely views of the stream and flowers – truly a secluded retreat away from the city. The kids absolutely loved it. The breakfast was simple but well-balanced and nutritious; the 'nine-grid' breakfast was quite novel. The room also had a small tub for soaking, though we weren't sure if it was a hot spring; it didn't quite feel like one. As for drawbacks, the room was a bit small, and there was no table or cabinet for placing items (aside from a wardrobe for hanging clothes), so there wasn't much space for other odds and ends. Luckily, we didn't have too many things. The toilet was electric. It's a very poetic place, and if the price is right, I highly recommend staying here.

The room was clean and tidy, but the TV was awful. The pool must have been rented out because it was so dirty. There were no regular channels, just infomercials. I've never seen anything like it! If they don't improve their management, they'll definitely go out of business! The price was around 400 yuan, which is cheap, but the service needs a lot of improvement.

An incredibly satisfying stay! I loved the location and their wontons at breakfast. This guesthouse must be the closest one to the south gate of Baotu Spring Park, practically right next to the park wall. It was super convenient for an early morning visit, especially in this heat – just a short walk away. The complimentary spring water in the room was excellent for making tea. Their black tea was also wonderfully sweet. The breakfast spread was quite generous; on our first day, my companion and I devoured three servings of their mini wontons! The seasoned crepes were delicious too, and the fried dough twists were perfectly crispy. They even have rooms with direct views of Baotu Spring Park. The staff were very warm and attentive.

Although very few people can speak English, the staff members made it so easy for me to know where to go for breakfast and helping me with everything I asked or needed. The hotel is situated in the most beautiful scenic area and has great facilities. There is even a Starbucks in the hotel. I met one of the managers named Eddie and he can speak English. He was kind and friendly and said that if I need any assistance I can ask the front desk to contact him and he will help me. The breakfast was delicious with so many different options to choose from. I would’ve stayed there for a week if I could. Amazing experience. Thank you to all the staff members, you made it so easy.

Choosing the right hotel is so important when traveling with kids! Before our trip, I did extensive research, looking for a hotel that was beautiful, had a great vibe, and offered easy entertainment for the little ones without having to leave the premises. My friend highly recommended Jinan Ziyue Meixiu Hotel, and I was absolutely wowed upon checking in. For a family trip with kids, this place is truly perfect! As soon as we entered, I was impressed by the hotel's strong New Chinese design aesthetic, which perfectly blends Eastern aesthetics with Jinan's unique characteristics. The soft, elegant lighting creates a stylish atmosphere, with every step revealing a new picturesque scene. Whether it's the lobby, the corridors, or the hotel entrance, every corner is incredibly photogenic. Moms can effortlessly capture stunning, atmospheric photos without needing to search for special backdrops. We were lucky enough to book the last Kupan themed family room. The 2-meter king-size bed was just right for our family of three. My child shrieked with excitement the moment we stepped in! The room was filled with child-friendly fun: a small tent, a slide, a swing, a rocking horse, and a game table – absolutely everything! My little one was completely unleashed, playing with building blocks and going down the slide, so entertained they didn't even nap all afternoon. Finally, this mom got a much-needed break. What's even more thoughtful are the detailed touches: a dedicated children's step stool, a toilet seat adapter for kids, and a full set of children's toiletries. These details precisely meet the needs of parents, meaning we don't have to lug around a bunch of stuff when traveling with kids. The attention to detail is truly top-notch. Breakfast was another delightful surprise! No need to run around looking for local delicacies; you can enjoy all of Jinan's special breakfast dishes right here in the hotel. From authentic Jinan Tianmo to savory Bazirou, every bite was a delicious taste of local flavor. My child's favorite was the shrimp potstickers – they ate five or six all by themselves, completely satisfied! And the service absolutely deserves praise! When my child accidentally choked on milk and threw up on the floor, the staff rushed over immediately. They quickly cleaned up, offered tissues, and even specifically went to get warm water. Their reaction was incredibly fast and gentle, and they were attentive and thoughtful throughout the whole process. Staying here with kids felt incredibly safe and secure. Combining beauty with practicality, and balancing child-friendly fun with aesthetics, Jinan Ziyue Meixiu Hotel is perfect for both family travel and photo ops. My child didn't want to leave and kept saying they want to stay here again next time we come to Jinan.

The check-in experience was terrible. It was the first time I'd ever gotten angry with a front desk agent. I tried to check in at 1:30 PM, but was told the room wasn't ready and they'd notify me when it was. So I went off to do other things. When I came back around 5 PM, the front desk staff had changed, and the new person had no idea about my situation. They couldn't even find my luggage that I'd left at the front desk. For a chain hotel, this is truly awful. Later that evening, during a rehearsal in the conference room, the water bottles and stationery were all over the place, not even aligned in a straight line. I thought hotel staff would sort it out first thing in the morning, but I was wrong. This standard really doesn't live up to a five-star hotel. The 0.5 points are for the view and food at the executive lounge.

Facilities: The room facilities are good. Although the hotel has been open for a while, it's been renovated. Considering how long it's been open, maintaining this condition is really impressive! Excellent value for money. Cleanliness: The room cleanliness is good. Environment: It's surrounded by malls, which is very convenient. Service: The service is excellent. Manager Liu at the front desk was thoughtful and attentive, and even upgraded my room for free. There were a lot of people at breakfast, and while restocking was a bit slow, the food tasted great. I'll definitely come back again and recommend it to friends! A big shout out to Manager Liu for the great service~!!!!
