Family-friendly Hotels in Shandong, China

The hotel room is spacious and clean. It has a great location about 5 min walk to the train station and the beach. The service was super good, satisfying all the needs of customers. Besides a free good breakfast, they provided afternoon tea for both days even though we stayed only for one night. There is also a free upgrading of room for our next booking. Very friendly and warm staffs.

Con: 1. The room smelted smoke when I opened the door as I wasn’t aware that guests are allowed to smoke in the room so I didn’t request a non-smoking room. 2. The drain was somehow blocked as the sinking trench was filled with water very quickly but took very long time to drain. 3 There was a pile of water by the bath tub when I checked in, which may link to the drainage issue. Pro: The room was spacious and perfectly satisfied our needs. The sea view was gorgeous from the main room and the living room. Every staff member was so friendly and attentive and welcoming. You can order takeout and they will be delivered by robots. The location is excellent and not far from the subway and Qingdao Railway Station. The building itself is part of the evening light show, which is awesome. I’d recommend it to anyone in spite of the issues encountered.

We had a very nice experience. The service was amazing thanks to Aimee and the service staff. My husband even got a surprise birthday cake. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at Qingdao Litian! The hotel is perfect for families with kids, offering a welcoming and safe environment that made our trip truly enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any requests, making us feel right at home. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend Qingdao Litian for families looking for a kid-friendly and supportive hotel experience. We’ll definitely be back!

The Shangri la service standard is extremely consistent and welcoming whichever country you are in. It’s truly a home away from home. The manager Mr Kento Goto at Qingdao Shangri la where we stayed was extremely helpful as it was our first time in Qingdao. We had an enjoyable time in the beautiful city.

Overall, the hotel exceeded my expectations, combining luxury with warm hospitality. The rooms were spacious, clean, and elegantly decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The amenities, including the fitness center, were excellent and added to the overall convenience of the stay. A special mention goes to a staff member named Seven, who provided outstanding service to my family. From the moment we checked in until our departure, Seven was incredibly helpful, quick, and efficient, ensuring that all our needs were met. His dedication and warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.

Overall stay was very good. The hotel staff is nice, room was fairly clean. Maybe it’s slow season, the staff all look a bit sluggish. They are either not prepared to answer questions or don’t know how to answer questions. On their website it says they have airport shuttle service with added fee, when I asked them they look dumbfounded. Breakfast was tasteless, nothing was very good. The room I had had dirty windows, and a broken fridge. The hotel staff was nice to put my things in their front desk fridge. Other than that everything else was nice.

The Hotel is great for a quick Qingdao visit. Very close to the beach and seaside. Also the Tsingdao Beer Museum is very easy to find. Subway entrance is near to hotel. The rooms are clean and comfy. My expectations are totally fullfilled. I was four times at the hotel during different seasons. Everytime the service was fine. Very appriciated is the free tea and coffee, as well free beer during the Tsingdao Beer fest weeks. Many thanks to Hailey from the reception desk, she made the registration for foreigners very easy. Her business english is good

Trip gives the impression this is a five star hotel. It's not. It is 4 star. It is also quite dated. It's not bad, but it's far from great. Again, Trip gives the impression that it much better than it is. It's quite a worn out place with rooms in desperate need of a makeover. It also lacks charm or a feel of sophistication. Just kink of bland, really. Also, you can really taste the savings at the breakfast buffet. Again, not bad, but really cheap and bland. The one stand out was the Chinese food I ordered for room service.

In the center of the district and surrounded by restaurants and stores. Nice place and breakfast, standard holiday Inn quality, but quite noisy environment due to KTV and clubs downstairs

Nice hotel at a convenient location. Close to several tourist spots. Service is unfortunately not 5 star.

I chose Crowne Plaza again on my return trip. The hotel has just opened, with complete facilities and reasonable design. I personally don't think the breakfast route problem is wrong. It just separates Chinese and Western food, which makes it clearer. The breakfast content is quite rich. Except for the consistent problem of Crowne Plaza, the taste is very ordinary, but the nutrition is definitely enough. It is recommended to send the check-in route information to customers who have placed an order. If you stay in such a hotel for the first time, you will be confused at first.

Very friendly staff and services. The reception Lucky called me a taxi using her phone. Appreciate her help. The cons are 1) hotel is 15 mins drive away from the airport and 2) the shuttle only runs every hour - from 6-10 am, one hour interval. So if you flight is in between those times you need to wait or take the earlier one

I checked in quite late in the evening, and have been upgraded to the Presidential Suites for one night stay! I wish I had more time to spend at the hotel room but I had to catch an early flight in the morning. The room is of course spacious (＞2000 sq ft) with a kitchen, living room with a dining table, office area and a bedroom. Busy breakfast service in the morning as there’s conference at the hotel. Buffet style breakfast - a wide variety of food including local food. It could be better if there’s more option for vegetables. The staff helped to call a taxi heading to airport. Overall it’s a comfortably short stay.

Very convenient hotel. Just 500 meter to Jinan West railway station. Good breakfast and warm welcome atmosphere.

Facilities: Very new and equipped with smart toilets, high water pressure and fast hot water. It is worthy of being a spring city. Hygiene: Very clean. As soon as I walked in and opened the curtains, I was surprised to find that the large windows were so clean! Not a single fingerprint! Environment: Very warm and very satisfied. The aromatherapy in the corridor smells great! Service: Excellent! Before coming, I will call in advance to ask what needs I have for the room! The guys at the front desk are also very nice! And they upgraded my room type for free!

It was nice to stay in the hotel. The staff at the executive lounge were very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shangri-La Hotel Jinan.

I loved everything about this hotel. Automated curtains, heated toilet seats, fresh towels and big shower heads. I don’t have kids but I loved to see that there’s a play area for kids that is sound proof. Breakfast is ok, typical Chinese breakfast. The staff is very friendly, including housekeeping staff. The only downside was that I came back at 4pm (having left at 8:30am) and my room was still not made. Housekeeping did knock shortly after that to clean up but I thought that’s too late in the day. They did apologize though. I’d deft stay here again. There’s a beautiful park right across the hotel and it’s 10min walk to Daming Lake. There are many Western restaurants and shopping malls in the vicinity.

Hotel value for money. Have this very friendly staff 豆大姐that always offer us water and fresh fruits every day. Even prepare bookmarks for us. Hotel breakfast also a good spread. Walking distance to the malls.

The room was pretty good. It was a new hotel that had just opened for half a year. I was worried about the smell in the room, but after moving in, I didn't expect that there was no decoration smell. The front desk was very welcoming when checking in. The breakfast was also very good. There were both Chinese and Western styles, which could meet the various dining needs of most people. The facilities were complete. There were also many small shops around the hotel. The front desk introduced where they were. The overall experience was good.

Besides the standards that one would expect from a 5 star hotel , what makes the Pullman Yantai stand out is the friendliness and attentiveness of their staff from housekeeping, the restaurants team on the 27th and 28th floors and the concierge team. A special mention is to be made of Griffith in the concierge team who was very helpful to us during our stay. We especially enjoyed the fish at the Yue Chinese Restaurant and the fresh bread made in house for breakfast. Their cookies which can be purchased on the 1st Floor are especially good so much that we bought another container to take away with us to eat on our way home. We highly recommend staying here and will come back again.

Good: 1. The only reason I chose this hotel is the convenient location. It's easy to go anywhere in the center of the city. 2. Bedding was clean. To be improved: 1. The drier in the self-service laundry room was awfully dirty. I felt the filter had NEVER been cleaned. When I removed the filter from the drier, it was full of fabric debris and mold. I spent 5 minutes to clean it with a tooth brush before use. I guess the hotel didn't know that the filter should be cleaned each use or at least everyday, maybe because driers are not commonly used in China. However, if you have one in use, you should know the correct maintenance! 2. There were some mistakes of documentation/operation of the hotel. We changed our room for the last day of our stay (we had two bookings with the same hotel in a row), but the hotel didn't complete the registration from their end. They sent a ”no show” notice to ctrip the agency after they helped us transfer to the new room of the 2nd booking. In addition, when we checked out, we returned the room key to the front desk in person. The front desk didn't tell us that there was a pending payment under our name but let us go. Later, the hotel sent a ”no payment” notice to ctrip. We were already back to Canada so hard to find a way to make a payment. Ctrip had to deduct it from our security deposit. The hotel's management should be improved to do things correctly rather than sending all the wrong messages to client/agency.

Nearly everything was perfect, the location, the service, the staff members and became a very good cleanliness room (upgrade for free). Normally I give 5+ but... After I was at breakfast in second floor I found my table was full of dirt (this occurs from dinner the day before because I was 6:45 at breakfast and the opening time is 6:30). After I see this I change to the executive floor for breakfast and everything was perfect. Sorry guys: for a 4 star hotel a no go.

The hotel has nice location with beach view , rich breakfast, big size room . But facilities are not so new already , and lift runs forever.

The location and environment of the hotel are very good. The service attitude of the staff we met everywhere was very good, and they sincerely greeted and asked if they needed help. The guest relations manager was very considerate and arranged a satisfactory room for us. The complimentary concise map of scenic spots was especially suitable for travel, and the service was very satisfactory. The ocean view is unbeatable! unrivaled! The characteristic buildings of the seaside square downstairs are just visible from the room. The night view is like thousands of lights, and the room type is suitable for watching the sunrise. The facilities in the room are well-equipped, and Yantai beer, milk, etc. are provided as gifts. We like the decoration style of the room. It is large enough, clean and hygienic. I felt very comfortable for two days. The bathtub also has a good sea view, and the bathroom space is large. The sea view in the gym is amazing❗️ and the training and rest areas for fitness and swimming are quite well designed. There are a variety of cheeses for breakfast. I haven’t had cheese freedom for a long time. I really like it this time! Pastries such as Danish fruit buns are carefully made, and eggs can be used to make a variety of dishes, or only egg whites can be provided. In the Chinese dining area, we had the famous Yantai stewed rice and Chaoshan braised pork ribs. The coffee machine makes pretty good kabobs and lattes, and you can also make Italian espresso - you can adjust the amount of beans and milk foam by yourself. I saw a seafood buffet introduced in the lobby bar. If I come to Yantai again, I will still choose this World Trade Hilton.

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed with. We have travelled through many countries and visited quite a few 5-star hotels in the world. The Sheraton gold beach really lives up to its reputation and way more comfortable than all other top hotels. The room is large and clean. The staff are all professional. We have received warm welcome and thoughtful service through our stay. It happened to be my birthday on the second day of our stay. The staff prepared a nice cake and fruit basket for us. Berry Yuan was the first person who sent me birthday wishes the day of birthday. What a surprise! I really felt I was home. The location is incredible. We cannot believe that we can enjoy an ocean view from our home. If you would like to have a walk, the hotel is right on the beach. What you need to do is just stepping out of the backyard. Breakfast buffet is gorgeous with great varieties. They serve freshly brewed coffee which is not common in China. I will definitely choose this hotel for my next trip to Yantai.

A newly opened Atour Hotel located in Penglai Government Affairs Center, features: the room is oversized, there is a sea view room, Atour has the hardware and services it should have, the reception and staff are very enthusiastic, and they will take the initiative to say hello when they meet in the elevator. Breakfast and local specialties: Penglai noodles, It is far away from Penglai Pavilion, but the price is excellent, parking is convenient, self-driving tour is preferred

We were upgraded from a city view room to a sea view room for free. We could see the sea. The room was large enough and very tidy, comfortable and clean. The transportation location was convenient. The beach was just a few hundred meters away and it was not far from Moon Bay and Yantai Station. We were also given welcome snacks, good night milk and a small gift when leaving the hotel. I caught a cold these two days and the hotel also provided cold medicine and warm water. The service was very thoughtful and I was very satisfied.

This hotel has a very good view of the beach and ocean, its location is very close; walking distance to the beach and ocean. Rooms are ok but getting dated, it’s not screaming out for refurbishment but it’s getting close. Room size is decent. It’s around 20 mins to the train station by taxi. Breakfast is good with a large choice and there is a nice bar and coffee shop inside the hotel.

This time I hurried to Yantai. Since I had to take the high-speed rail to leave early the next morning, I chose the intercity hotel near Yantai Station. I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly good. Arriving at the hotel is already more than 8 pm, the little brother who helped us check in took the initiative to remind the restaurant that there is a free night. There are porridge, dumplings, sugar water, etc. for supper, and the food quality is very good. Newly opened hotel, new facilities and equipment, spacious and bright rooms, feel very comfortable. Unfortunately, this trip was in a hurry and I didn't have time to feel it. I will come again next time. Yantai Binhai Plaza Intercity Hotel is cost-effective and worth recommending!
