ゲゲストFirst, the good points
- Room & Location:
The room and location are totally worth it. If you're a foreigner like me, it might be a little hard to get there. But once you arrive and see the view and the room, it's absolutely worth it.
-Service: The male staff at the restaurant is very polite, quick, polite warm and thoughtful.
· The driver and the auntie at the restaurant are very warm and friendly.
Now, what needs improvement
The front desk female staff came across as unprofessional.
I booked a 45-minute singing bowl session starting at 12:15, and then booked a photographer for 13:00. But at 12:48, the front desk lady called me and even called the singing bowl teacher — while my session was still going on.
I think this is basic knowledge for front desk staff: a singing bowl session requires a calm, quiet environment, and my session hadn't even ended yet — it wasn't time for the photographer.
After my session ended and I could finally check my phone, But when I got to the front desk, The photographer already left because he was in a hurry.
But he arrived at 12:45 — and then said he was in a hurry?
The front desk staff's poor coordination not only ruined my need for a peaceful healing session, but also made the hotel's ”photographer service” gift completely useless.
At first I thought I would come back to stay here again. But after this experience of inefficient coordination, I'll really have to reconsider whether I want to stay here next time.
ゲゲストExtremely clean, very large space with excellent aircon and water pressure. The room has an attached ”kitchen”, which I did not know was included! It was a terrific space, and would be especially great for families or large groups. There are no restaurants in this location, only the breakfast facility. Breakfast was Chinese buffet breakfast, with several options and was satisfactory. You can also eat breakfast on their outdoor patio, which was pleasant! Sadly, the coffee shop was not open when I was there. I walked about 15 minutes down the beachfront to another hotel's coffee shop--it was nice but expensive. The location is very close to the bridge leading to Yangma Island and the bus stop is nearby. The beach directly across from the hotel is a giant mud-flat beach. It is NOT a swimming or bathing beach! When tide is in, it is very flat and shallow, when tide is out, it is muddy and you can take a bucket to find little creatures. There is not a good swimming beach at this location, but I took a bus northwest to go swimming.
Service was friendly, but non-Chinese guests should use patience--the friendly ladies at the desk do not speak English. They are helpful to find food/snacks/shops nearby.
Overall, it feels like staying in a small apartment rather than a hotel, with nice plants around the property and a homey feeling.
WWarobin TanMy reviews are always the 4 C.
It is convenient to the Confucius Temple and Mansion.
We tour the two sites. For the cemetery site, we took a 10 or 15 Yuan electric tricycle from the mansion. The three sites are worth visiting. Can be done in a day or less. I prefer to see and sail through.
I had some difficulty finding the hotel with the DIDI driver because the hotel entrance is inside a car park. So visitors do ask the DIDI driver to drive into the car park. The car park barrier leads the driver to believe they will be charged for entering. The car park barrier bears the hotel name.
Our hotel stay did include breakfast. The range is typical of a Chinese breakfast menu.
Cleanliness: This hotel group maintains cleanliness in the bathrooms and toilets. The sofa upholstery and the cushion are clean, with no stains. The towels are clean.
Comfortable: The bed is firm, and the pillion is very comfortable. The aircon is working, and hot and cold water are all working. Overall, the room colours are comfortable for resting and relaxing.
Customer Service: The front staff speak English. The security guard carried one of my bags. The check-in was easy because we provided our Trip.com booking details.
In the lobby, there are free bottles of water and Chinese tea.
The staff provided excellent service during our stay. Thanks you.
KKayleighThe service here is amazing, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how generous and kind the staff were.We arrived a few hours early and the staff said that not only could we leave our suitcase and bags there, but they would take it up to our room for us. The woman with glasses (I’m sorry we didn’t ask for your name) was very attentive and also gave us lots of recommendations for things to do and restaurants. In the evening the staff provided free fruit to snack on, which was a very nice touch.
The room was a good size with a comfortable but firm tatami bed. The sheets and towels were clean, and room cleaning took place every day. The rooms are simple but great for what we needed. The staff said we could change our room if it wasn’t to our liking but we were very satisfied with what we had. At times other visitors were a bit noisy but that’s to be expected when travelling with children. There were no major disturbances and the environment was very good.
Overall I would really recommend this location! If we return to Qingdao we will definitely book this hotel again.
GGevorgMThe homestay I recently stayed at had a few drawbacks. While the rooms were generally clean, I couldn't overlook the fact that they were outdated and in need of renovation. The old furniture and paint gave a less-than-pleasant overall impression. It's the kind of place where you're fine for a sleepover, but it's not somewhere you'd want to spend a lot of time in during the day.
P.S. The bathroom badly needs a door.
