Posted on Oct 18, 2026|Deluxe 2-Queen Room
Guest UserTraveling with elderly parents. The hotel has connecting rooms; if you need them, it's best to request them well in advance to ensure they can be arranged for your arrival.
Rooms on the north side offer views of Quancheng Square, while those on the south side face a residential area. If the price difference is minor, booking the square-view room is definitely the better choice.
While the hotel is in a convenient location, traveling with seniors means you should try to save their energy for walking inside the attractions. You can enter Baotu Spring through the South Gate and exit via the Southeast Gate—the walking distance is manageable, and you'll get to see both Baotu Spring and the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall.
For Daming Lake, you can take a taxi to the South Gate and take a boat tour that covers the entire lake directly. It takes about 20 minutes and costs 50 RMB per person (no senior discounts). You can then explore on foot afterward. Chaoran Tower is located on the eastern side. It has an elevator and is well worth a visit; the top floor offers a panoramic view of Jinan. On the first floor, the *The Travels of Lao Can* Pottery Gallery is quite unique and highly recommended. Xianxi Lane, a short walk south from the South Gate, features several ”Must-Eat List” restaurants, including Yiliyong Old Jinan Beef Sesame Cake (Daming Lake branch), Kuishengju Century-Old Shandong Cuisine (Xianxi Lane branch), and Chunshui Potstickers, all located on this street.
The former residence of Lao She is within walking distance, located in the alley directly opposite the South Gate of Baotu Spring.
Qushuiting Street has a special charm at night. During the day, you can combine it with Zhenzhu Spring for a city walk. Zhenzhu Spring is located within a large compound that also houses the People's Auditorium, which is the venue for Meng Chuan's stand-up comedy shows—about a 15-minute walk away.
A special shout-out to Mindy for arranging our room, greeting us at check-in, and promptly answering all our questions and helping us out. In particular, she helped me with screen casting in the evening. The hotel TV does support screen casting, but it requires staff assistance to operate. I asked if they could leave the remote control with me so I could do it myself, but the staff explained they only had one remote and needed it for other guests' screen casting. Actually, it uses screen mirroring rather than connecting the phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network, which isn't very convenient.
The breakfast is quite rich, though there are no items like sushi. I didn't get a chance to check out the executive lounge or the gym, so I'll leave that for next time.

I absolutely loved the service at this hotel! I was traveling with my dog, so I specifically looked for a pet-friendly hotel. To my surprise, when I checked in, I received a package of dog treats (a pack of Crazy Dog chicken jerky). I also told the front desk staff that I hoped to find a room where my dog wouldn't disturb others (because if it's too close to the elevator or an outside area where people pass, my dog might bark). The staff found me a very quiet room, and my dog barely made a sound! Plus, all the staff members were incredibly friendly towards animals. The room itself was typical Atour – very clean and comfortable. And the surprises kept coming! When we checked out, the front desk staff heard we were driving and even gave us a special little driving gift package! All in all, this hotel truly warmed my heart!

Anonymous UserThe hotel boasts great design with minimalist yet elegant Bauhaus-style furniture. The striking combination of black, white, and blue creates a calming atmosphere. Listening to the wind and rain in the private courtyard is a wonderful way to escape the hustle and bustle. The nine-grid breakfast offers a rich variety and is nutritionally balanced. Best of all, the location is prime—just a 5-minute walk to the South Gate of Chaoyang Street, with easy access to both taxis and public transport. The only minor drawback is that the Wi-Fi signal was a bit weak.

Posted on Oct 13, 2026|King Deluxe Room Sea View
Guest UserChoosing this hotel for our family vacation in Yantai was definitely the right decision. Henny at the front desk provided attentive and wonderful service with a great attitude. The ocean view from the room was our absolute favorite—super gorgeous! Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows to the endless sea while the ocean breeze blows is incredibly relaxing. The hotel facilities are also very complete; both adults and kids can find a place to unwind, and the pool water temperature was just right. The room is quite spacious and spotless, and Golden Beach is just a short walk away. Overall, the value for money and the entire experience are top-notch. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Posted on Oct 5, 2026|Superior Room (2 Beds)
Guest UserFacilities: Perhaps because it's been open for a while, some facilities are a bit old. The balcony railing paint was peeling.
Hygiene: The toilet had a strange smell, and when we first entered the room, there was a stuffy odor. The carpet had stains, and the towels at the water park smelled.
Environment: The location is pretty good, convenient for family trips by car, but there's no subway station nearby.
Service: This was excellent; any issues raised were promptly resolved.

Guest UserSpent two nights at the hotel in late October with breakfast included.
Convenient location within walking distance to May Fourth Square and the Olympic Sailing Center, with the subway station right outside the door.
Comfortable stay—the king-size bed had four pillows, and one of them was an absolute game-changer (those who struggle to sleep away from home will totally get this). The room was spacious and clean with an ocean view, attaching photos. The indoor pool is amazing; had I known the water temperature would be so pleasant, I wouldn't have bothered with such an intense warm-up. The lifeguard was also very responsible, attentively looking after even just a single guest in the pool.
I want to highlight the breakfast. Since I had to head out a bit after 6 AM, the front desk helped place my order in advance, and I got my hot coffee and food right on the dot at 6 o'clock. Thank you! I managed to dine in person on the second day, but only gave myself 20 minutes. I had no idea the Westin breakfast spread was so lavish and the buffet layout so expansive—it took me a full 10 minutes just to walk through and check out all the options, though I did manage to snag a favorite seat (photo attached).
All in all, I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Guest UserThis newly opened Hampton by Hilton boasts a very convenient location, close to the subway station with an abundance of dining options nearby. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and convenience stores are all easily accessible, along with many other restaurants of varying sizes. The old Qingdao specialty restaurant next door serves particularly delicious food. The room was very clean, the bedding was neat, and the facilities were brand new. The front desk staff, Yulia, was friendly and promptly addressed any requests. The breakfast offered a good variety of dishes, catering to both Western and Chinese tastes, and the freshly cooked noodles were very popular. Staying here made our trip very hassle-free. Five-star rating!

ZQSJYI have to give the Mövenpick Hotel Qingdao five stars! The hotel has a sophisticated vibe, and the public areas are meticulously maintained. The guest rooms are clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful details; the bedding really helps you sleep well. The staff are professional and attentive, providing excellent service without being perfunctory. Both the hardware and software are top-notch. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Qingdao. Special shout-out to Lili and Xiaoxiao at the front desk for their great service!

mzlt2004Located right inside the airport, I used to always stay here for the convenience of catching a flight. However, whether due to a change in management or something else, compared to a year ago, the room service and dining management are a total mess. Check-in takes forever, there was no bath mat in the room, and the coffee machine in the breakfast room was so filthy it was hard to look at. Well before closing time, many food items were already gone. Some of the staff act like wooden puppets, and the crashing noise of clearing dishes is terribly annoying. To top it all off, they were sweeping and cleaning right next to our table while we were eating—simply unbelievable. I won't be staying here again.

Rina SY FooExceptional stay at Atour Hotel! We traveled as a family with an elderly parent, arriving early in the morning after a tiring red-eye flight. The front desk staff were wonderfully warm, attentive, and accommodating, ensuring check-in was seamless so my mother could rest comfortably.
Every team member greeted us with genuine smiles and warm tea whenever we passed the lobby. The rooms were spotless, quiet, and equipped with very comfortable bedding. The smart robot delivery service was prompt and convenient, and the hotel's location made getting around May Fourth Square and nearby dining effortless.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for their kindness toward my elderly mother. Truly outstanding service that exceeded our expectations—we will definitely choose Atour again when returning to Qingdao! Highly recommended!
