Hotels With Bars in Shandong, China

While visiting Qingdao, I decided to spend a day in Jinan and chose the Shangri-La. Before checking in, I called to confirm that my room was ready. The lobby is impressive, and the room was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped. The toiletries were excellent, and I particularly liked the eco-friendly bamboo toothbrushes and combs. The hotel is conveniently located opposite Quancheng Square, perfect for an evening stroll to watch the musical fountain. Baotu Spring is also within walking distance. There are plenty of malls nearby, and both takeout and dining options are easily accessible. The old city, however, is genuinely congested; it took almost 40 minutes to get to Jinan Station by taxi, and I barely made my train. The hotel also seems to offer intangible cultural heritage activities, but I didn't have time to participate. I would definitely choose this hotel again for a more leisurely trip to Jinan.

Traveling to Yantai, I decisively chose the Hilton Golden Coast, and my entire stay was perfect, completely exceeding my expectations. It's an excellent choice for a vacation in Yantai. The hotel's biggest highlight is its stunning sea-view rooms; opening the window reveals an endless blue ocean, with an incredibly expansive view. Whether it's watching the blue sky and ocean and the surging waves during the day, or enjoying the gentle sunset in the evening, it's incredibly therapeutic. Just quietly gazing at the sea makes all travel fatigue disappear, and the ambiance is absolutely perfect. The hotel's service was exceptionally thoughtful and thorough. The front desk staff, Winnie, was warm and professional. Check-in and check-out were very fast, with a simple and efficient process. Any needs during the stay were met with patient, detailed responses and efficient solutions from the staff, providing attentive and considerate service throughout, making for a superb experience. The buffet breakfast was a huge surprise, with a rich and comprehensive variety of dishes, including both Chinese and Western cuisine. There were not only exquisite Western pastries, hot dishes, porridges, fresh fruits, and vegetables, but also local specialty snacks. The ingredients were fresh, and the taste was consistently good. Every day offered different delicious options, enough to satisfy the dining needs of the whole family. The room hygiene was impeccable; the entire room was spotlessly clean. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the layout was neat and cozy, offering a very high level of living comfort. Additionally, the hotel facilities are complete; the gym equipment is comprehensive and clean, allowing for easy exercise and relaxation during leisure time. The hotel's overall environment is quiet and elegant, with excellent privacy, making it very livable away from the hustle and bustle. It's perfect for couples, family vacations, or short business trips. The location is excellent, making travel and sightseeing very convenient. The overall value for money and experience are impeccable. The next time I come to Yantai, I will still choose this hotel first!

Before our arrival, Xiao Zhang from the hotel proactively called to ask about our needs. Our two room requests (adjoining rooms and a high floor) were both fulfilled. The room service was incredibly responsive, which deserves praise! There's an onsen for rainy evenings, and a beach and pool for sunny days. I heard they also have a pet park and a cat cafe (didn't get a chance to visit), so as a family-friendly hotel, the facilities are quite comprehensive. I was quite worried after seeing many negative reviews before our trip. While it's true that there are signs of age and some humidity issues, overall, it exceeded my expectations. I have two suggestions: 1. The welcome fruit could be improved. The current quality is quite average. Perhaps replace it with local specialties like Qing Shi calcium milk biscuits or shell-shaped pastries, which would offer more consistent quality. 2. There were few bed rails, and they didn't seem very sturdy. An upgrade would be appreciated.

Westin is typically more of a business-oriented hotel brand, but its prime location in Qingdao, right next to May Fourth Square and MixC Mall, makes it ideal for both business and leisure. The rooms, facilities, and dining are all on par with Qingdao's top-tier hotels. The executive lounge has an outstanding location with amazing views. The suites are spacious and comfortable. During my stay, there was a leak in the bathroom, but the front desk quickly coordinated with engineering to resolve the issue. Their proactive service and problem-solving skills were excellent.

The decor is exquisite, and it has its own signature scent. The rooms are warm and minimalist, with smart home controls throughout. The bathroom is split wet and dry, and the room comes with a mini-fridge and pour-over coffee setup. Robot delivery for takeout, self-service laundry, and a well-equipped gym complete the amenities. The location is convenient, perfect for getting around.

The room was very comfortable, the service was excellent, and requests were handled promptly. It's also very kid-friendly.

I highly recommend Tomorrow International Youth Hostel in Jinan. The place is exceptionally clean; every corner is spotless. The environment is also very quiet, ensuring a good night's rest. The 19th-floor terrace offers fantastic views, and the sunset scenery in the evening is beautiful. The staff's service is also excellent. Plus, the location is great, making it very convenient to get to tourist attractions. The price is quite reasonable, and the facilities are very good. If you're traveling solo, staying here feels very safe and comfortable.

Our stay at Qingdao Haitian Hotel was a fantastic experience! The hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and getting around. Being so close to the beach was a huge plus, especially for taking our child to play in the sand. What truly stood out was the service. Hotel Manager and Butler Golden were incredibly warm and thoughtful in their hospitality. They responded to our messages promptly and had such a humble attitude. Any requests we had were handled immediately, making us feel right at home. Fresh fruit was delivered to our room daily – the attention to detail was impeccable. Overall, our stay was wonderful. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we visit Qingdao next time. Highly recommended!

The hotel is extremely luxurious and designed beautifully. But the service is TERRİBLE. No one speaks english… there is no food available for room service. İ wanted to drink a beer and they told me to go to the supermarket. İ wanted to order room service after 20.30 they told me no english and hung up on my face. After 10 mins 2 people came to my room telling me they dont have room service, after 20.30 even though the menu said 24 hours. The next day i tried to order at 16.00 and they told me it starts at 18.30… the design and the quality of the hotel is maybe the best ive seen in my life but the service is 0/10 … no cola to drink no food to eat .. i would not reccomend if you want to spend a lot of time in it.

Please understand if this review is a bit disorganized, as I am writing it in a hurry on my way back home. (Please note that this was translated using AI, so there might be slight nuances lost in translation.) Despite being in an unfamiliar environment as a foreigner, the service provided by the two front desk staff members was absolutely wonderful. While other hotels in Rizhao were also good, the service here was truly memorable. Both the male and female staff at the front desk greeted me with bright, warm smiles and handled everything with great accuracy and efficiency. Their neat, professional appearance and welcoming smiles make them the perfect ”first face” of this hotel to greet guests. When I was checking out this morning, I was already feeling very anxious about the long journey ahead—calling a taxi to the train station, taking the train to the airport, and finally boarding my flight back to Korea. Of top of that, I was completely exhausted from walking so much throughout my trip. Because of this, it deeply weighs on my mind that I couldn't properly respond to the kindness they showed me during checkout. I was too nervous and tired to even think about reacting properly, and I keep wishing I had expressed my gratitude more. They greeted me with such cheerful voices and bright smiles, but I could only receive it passively. If I plan another trip to Rizhao in the future, I would love to spend my entire stay at this hotel. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to them once again. I am boarding my flight now. Hope to see you again someday. 谢谢, 欢送礼物
