Hotels With Pools in Shandong, China

When I came to Qingdao for a trip, I chose this hotel. We booked a partial sea view room, and the front desk upgraded us to an executive room during check-in. The butler was also very responsive to all our requests, fulfilling them promptly and even sending a fruit platter. I had read reviews saying the robot delivery service was very slow, but after staying here for two days, I found no issues. Food deliveries arrived within ten minutes of being delivered to the hotel. Finally, they even gave us a souvenir when we checked out. Overall, the experience was excellent. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Qingdao!

The overall stay at this hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, offering excellent value for money. The front desk service was also great – they were very responsive to all our requests. The facilities were comprehensive, and there's even an internal walkway directly to the airport, which is incredibly convenient. I highly, highly recommend it!

Great stay at the Pullman, only for one night but could have stayed many more, excellent service from all staff. Highly recommend!

The room was clean and hygienic, and very close to the Taierzhuang Scenic Area, just 400 meters from the West Gate. The lovely receptionist warmly introduced the Taierzhuang tour itinerary and sent us the performance schedule and tourist map of the scenic area to our phones for easy viewing and reference. She also helped us carry our luggage upstairs and recommended affordable restaurants for us, repeatedly telling us to contact her if we needed anything. Before we left, she even gave us Shandong pancakes. The hospitable Shandong girl was warm and simple, making us feel at home.

The hotel lobby is on the 26th floor, with guest rooms and all facilities above the 26th floor, and the buffet breakfast on the 27th floor. The indoor pool is heated, and the spa and gym are well-equipped. The front desk staff, especially the ladies, were very friendly and professional, and quick to resolve any issues. We had a great view overlooking Yantai city and Yantai Mountain. It snowed during our two-day stay, and the high-altitude snow view was absolutely stunning. The breakfast selection was quite rich, though there wasn't much meat. The only local specialties might have been Mianzi (a local jelly-like dish) and seafood noodles. Hotel guests got a special rate for breakfast, which was served promptly from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The room layout was well-designed, the facilities were new, and cleanliness was impeccable. The heating worked very well. Kids' amenities and latex pillows are available upon request from the front desk. The only issue was the slow delivery by the food delivery robot. It usually took an extra half an hour to receive our order after it had already arrived at the hotel.

Arriving in Linyi, travel-worn from Tianjin, the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, all my fatigue quietly melted away. Traveling with a child always adds a layer of concern, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that every one of those worries was gently addressed by the thoughtful care here. The most delightful surprise was undoubtedly the unexpected room upgrade. Our originally booked room type was quietly upgraded to a more spacious and comfortable one. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows offered gentle views of Linyi's streetscape, feeling like an unexpected gift that instantly elevated the quality of our stay. This silent yet profound gesture of thoughtfulness made us, first-time visitors, feel truly at home and welcomed. This warmth was further exemplified and brought to life in the lobby bar. An employee named Shi Keqian, with her genuine smile and friendly demeanor, made a rich, aromatic handcrafted coffee that, with each sip, seemed to melt away the lingering travel fatigue. What warmed our hearts even more was her thoughtful attention to our child – she specially offered some delicate and adorable cookies. The smile on our child's face, clutching the cookies, was more captivating than any scenic view. Ms. Shi's genuine kindness wasn't just part of a service protocol; it was a heartfelt expression of hospitality that made this hotel feel less like a temporary lodging and more like the home of a warm and welcoming Linyi friend. On a separate note, the swimming pool and other facilities, including their service, were quite disappointing. After a swim, we found there was virtually no body wash or shampoo available in the showers. When we inquired, we were met with various excuses. This really detracts from the overall experience at such a large, high-star hotel!

The room was clean, spacious and beautiful. Fruits and yogurt were provided. The large window allowed you to see the Caozhou Peony Garden. A souvenir was given when you checked out. The breakfast and evening buffet had a wide variety of dishes, good quality, and was clean and hygienic. The waiter's service attitude was also good, which was great! It is close to the Caozhou Peony Garden and can be reached on foot. I will choose this place again next time I come.

I had a very satisfying stay at MGM. The butler, Miss Ella, made me feel right at home. She arranged a great room for me and constantly checked in on my experience, asking if I needed any help with anything. She even upgraded my mini-bar snacks and drinks and gave me two adorable little lions, which my wife loved! Next time I'm in Qingdao, I'll definitely stay here again. To the hotel management: please give Miss Ella a raise! Employees like her should be promoted quickly to retain them, as they are key to making Qingdao MGM better and more complete.

The hotel's location, facilities, and parking are all quite good. However, with so many new hotels nowadays, some of the smart amenities feel a bit outdated. The breakfast, though, is absolutely fantastic – a huge variety of high-quality items. And the price on Ctrip during the off-season was amazing, making it excellent value for money. Definitely recommend!

When it comes to prime locations, no one beats the Shangri-La. Both the spring and city views are absolutely stunning. The Baotu Spring offers unique beauty in every season, and Quancheng Square is consistently spacious and prominent year-round. The hotel has been open for some years now. The public areas and facilities are still quite good, but the in-room amenities are rather outdated. The room isn't huge, and the bathroom feels a bit cramped. For the same room type, the InterContinental's bathroom design is much more practical. The in-room equipment definitely shows its age, though it's maintained reasonably well, and the cleanliness is excellent. The shower is ancient, lacking a rain shower head, and the handheld shower is difficult to use; no matter how I adjusted it, it sprayed towards the wall, making showering quite a hassle. The drainage isn't very smooth either. Even the clothes hangers are worn out but still in use. The complimentary drinking water is the cheapest kind available, and the dental kit is practically unusable. Shangri-La, can't you procure some better quality items? These aren't even expensive. Otherwise, you'll lose all your guests. I called guest services twice from the room phone, and no one picked up. It's quite surprising to encounter such a flaw in a five-star hotel. However, the overall service at Shangri-La is very good. The staff are warm, attentive, and polite. The Christmas atmosphere on the ground floor, both inside and out, is very festive. The excellent location significantly enhances the value for money at Shangri-La Jinan.
