Romantic Hotels in Shandong, China

I brought my mom to Qingdao for a trip, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's very convenient to get to attractions like Zhanqiao Pier, Badaguan, and May Fourth Square. Our room also offered a great sea view. We had a fantastic view from the room we were assigned. The breakfast restaurant even allowed us to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. I particularly want to mention the hotel service; our butler was incredibly warm and attentive, providing local specialties and fruit as a complimentary gift. After extending our stay for another night, we kept receiving pleasant surprises (I'll review those tomorrow). Additionally, the housekeeping auntie was exceptionally warm and proactive. My mom was very satisfied, and I highly recommend this hotel.

A perfect seaside getaway, I'd come back to this hotel countless times! My recent beach vacation was completely blown away by this hotel. From its location to the dining, everything was on point, and every moment felt incredibly healing! The location is absolutely fantastic! It's right next to May Fourth Square, and you can be on the beach in just a few minutes, avoiding the fatigue of long commutes. Popular attractions are within walking distance, and if you want to catch the evening seascape light show, you don't have to jostle with crowds; you can comfortably enjoy the panoramic view from your room. Lying in bed, the entire blue ocean instantly fills your sight – pure bliss! The room is spacious and stylishly decorated, and the bedding is so soft you won't want to get up. Ocean views paired with delicious food – a feast for the taste buds! The dining experience completely exceeded expectations! The breakfast spread at the sea-view restaurant was so diverse it was hard to choose. Freshly made seafood, wontons, and other specialty dishes were fresh and flavorful. Paired with the ocean view outside the window, it's the perfect start to an energetic day!

Hotel is well located. Behind the hotel was a long distance bus terminal. It is easy to book a long distance trip to Penglai and the 8 mortals sights. The journey takes around 2 hours. If you are coming from Yantai Railway Station the walk is about 15-20 minutes walk to hotel or alternatively there is a public bus stop right in front of the hotel. By taxi CNY 9.00. Check-in staffs are nice and friendly. Hotel room is clean and rather hip too from the main door. A little set-back was the water kettle which I find a bit inconvenient wherever I need to boil water as you need to un-plug the whole kettle and it can’t filled much water. Not the traditional type of water kettle which I feel needed to be upgraded. Overall, a nice hotel to stay.

As a frequent business traveler who often stays in five-star hotels across various cities, I rarely give a hotel my unreserved praise, but the MGM Qingdao has thoroughly impressed me with its near-perfect performance. Its facilities and equipment go beyond mere 'high-end' – they reflect a forward-thinking pursuit of quality: the in-room office area is comfortable and convenient, and the high-speed internet is consistently stable and fast. The fitness center is outfitted with a full suite of Technogym equipment, and the experience of running while facing the ocean is unparalleled. The spa, using industry-leading products and techniques, completely melted away my travel fatigue after a 90-minute deep tissue massage. The hotel's ambiance exudes a sophisticated, elegant, and energetic atmosphere. On the service front, MGM Qingdao demonstrates the professionalism and efficiency expected of a top-tier hotel. My dedicated butler called me before check-in to inquire about my preferences, and within ten minutes of my arrival, my preferred buckwheat pillow and extra hangers were delivered. The concierge team possesses extensive local knowledge, providing insider tips like 'the best spot to photograph the sunrise over Zhanqiao Pier in the early morning.' From check-in to check-out, every single aspect operated like a finely tuned clock, yet it was also imbued with human warmth. Without a doubt, MGM Qingdao has set a new benchmark for luxury hotel service in the Shandong region. It will be my undisputed first choice for both future business trips and leisure getaways.

This five-star hotel is incredibly well-designed, with vibrant and fashionable colors. I love Indigo Hotels, and this one is no exception. The classic spiral staircase, a rich chocolate brown, combined with the deep blue of Golden Beach, really highlights the marine theme throughout the hotel's design. The young, beautiful, stylish, and handsome staff wear various shades of ocean-inspired uniforms. You'll find pebble-inlaid patterns, anchor chains and buoys, room numbers on colorful surfboards, wooden key cards, and iron seaweed dividers in the restaurant. From the moment you approach the hotel, there's lively music playing, extending all the way to the elevators, gym, and restaurant, adding a vibrant energy that perfectly complements the ocean. We stayed in a garden-view twin room. The next morning, as the sun came out, we could see the sea, Golden Beach, the Yantai Chapel of Love, and the observation tower from our balcony. The hotel basks in the sun, and with the help of the wind, the waves crash beautifully, like a musical composition, some long and drawn out, others short and sharp, kissing the fine golden sand. The five-star service is exceptional; even the cleaning staff are friendly and proactive. The hotel offers special Swiss rolls, which need to be ordered in advance. Just a few hundred meters walk to the right from the hotel entrance is Hou Sha Plaza, featuring a glass skywalk. To the left is the Yantai Chapel of Love, and observation staircases are spaced along the beach. A bit further on are two whale sculptures, and beyond that, the Lonely Whale, not far from which is the Time Tower. We bought tickets for the Time Tower on-site, 59 RMB per ticket. The staff informed us that the free admission from 7 AM to 9 AM, which starts in November, has been canceled, so now all visits to the tower and library require a ticket. I absolutely adore the sea. The temperature was a bit low this time, and it was windy, but the ocean was an even deeper blue, with clusters of waves crashing, and occasionally a seagull swooping by. It was wonderful to have the beach almost to ourselves. I hope this seaside hotel continues to be even more warm, beautiful, and romantic.

This is definitely my top choice for a vacation in Yantai! We stayed in room 14 this time, and the 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking views of Golden Beach's blue sea and sky. Waking up to the sound of the waves in the morning was incredibly therapeutic. The service was impeccable; the front desk quickly arranged a quiet room on a high floor for us. The housekeeping attendant, noticing we had a child, thoughtfully provided extra adorable parent-child amenities and a tent toy. The hotel's location is excellent, right by the soft sandy beach, perfect for an evening stroll. The pool water was clear, and it wasn't crowded, making for a great experience. Breakfast was extensive, featuring fresh seafood noodles and local specialties, and the restaurant staff were warm and attentive. From the concierge to every single employee, we felt a genuine smile and professionalism. When we checked out, our child was reluctant to leave, saying, ”We want to come home again next year.” This is no longer just a hotel; it has become our warm seaside home in Yantai. Whether for a romantic getaway for couples or a family vacation, this place offers a perfect experience. Highly recommended!

The room is very clean and hygienic, the service is also very good, the overall hotel facilities are very smart, and the view from the room is very good. I stayed with my friends with side sea view and front sea view respectively. The view was very good. I will come to Weihai in the future. Will definitely stay here again. The boss and waiters are very good, all five stars! ! ! It's very close to the beach, and it's very convenient to go to the beach. There are a few credit card points nearby, but it was too hot, haha, I didn't go down much. The view from the room is amazing. Come and stay here! ! ! ! It’s also great to take photos and check in.

Staying in a century-old building like this truly offers a unique experience, and it was incredibly pleasant for both mind and body! We arrived in Qingdao around 10 AM, and even though our room wasn't ready, they held our luggage so we could go explore. When we returned in the evening, our bags were already in the room – the staff were really efficient! It really is a hundred-year-old building, with only two floors, and the wooden stairs have that distinct creaky sound of an old house, which is quite special. The fountain in the central area is beautiful and usually turns off around 8 PM. The room itself is spacious, with a completely separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, and all the disposable amenities were well-stocked – thumbs up! Hmm, if I had to nitpick, it would be even more perfect if there was a bathmat or plastic slippers for anti-slip in the bathroom, and a nice little dish for the soap. Definitely recommend, and I'll be back again!

Coming to Qingdao for the National Day holiday, I compared no less than twenty guesthouses and finally chose this one. I was initially a bit nervous, worried it wouldn't live up to the pictures, but I was completely amazed upon arrival. The guesthouse is located in the Laoshan Scenic Area, right next to Liuqinghe Park. As a guesthouse under the Tsingtao Brewery Group, everything from the facilities, management, and staff to the hardware exceeded my expectations. To get this kind of environment for just over 600 RMB a night during the National Day holiday was extremely satisfying. The room size was perfect, with a bathtub and a balcony. It happened to be raining, so listening to the rain and watching the mountains from the room was incredibly relaxing. I ordered a pot of tea brewed by the fireplace and snuggled up with a book in the hotel, which was also wonderful. I believe there were also handicraft experiences, but I didn't have time to try them. The butler provided one-on-one service throughout my stay. Overall, it was an excellent guesthouse experience, and I'll definitely choose it again when I come back to Qingdao.

The room decor was incredibly cozy, and the environment was beautiful. The location was excellent, very close to the beach. What I want to praise the most is the cleanliness; the sheets and duvet covers felt freshly changed, smelling like they'd been sun-dried, and the bathroom was spotless. Eating a special breakfast with local tea in the morning felt as comfortable as being a guest at a friend's house. I've already added this place to my favorites and will definitely choose it again next time I visit. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip here!
