Hotels in Bandao Commercial Center and Olympic Sailing Center, Qingdao

This apartment is very comfortable, in a great area with a stunning view of the marina. The fridge is large, the bed is soft and extra pillows depending on the menu can be delivered. There is a 24 hour robot delivery for food and supplies ordered from stores. There is a convenience store 200m outside of the main entrance. You can walk to the May 4th statue and marina in about 10 minutes. Don't miss out on the neon light extravanga on all the buildings in that street that you can see from the windows. The famous beer street is not too far away either. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

This hotel location is magnificent. It is just beside one of the biggest shopping mall, MixC and also May 4th Square. The Otel person is very kind and helpful and they can speak English language. The rooms is slightly oldish, but still very clean. The Armenti, such as spa swimming pool, Gym and tennis courts is very nice. If you are willing to stay in the May 4th Square, I recommend this hotel

This was the best hotel I’ve stayed in while in China. There is a reason why it’s number 1 in Qingdao. From the moment I walked in I was looked after by staff, particularly Eric and Crystal, who made sure I was able to have the best full experience. The view of the ocean took my breath away and spent lots of my time in the hotel because it was that beautiful!! Thank you again Eric and Crystal for making my first time to Qingdao so special :) I highly recommend you book this place!!

Location is excellent, with an exit to Metro Line 3 just outside the hotel, 2 mins walk away. The street behind the hotel also has lots of local eateries then there's a big mall just across the road. Room is a good size and I'm impressed that everything comes in a sanitized/disinfected sealed packaging, including all the towels! Gives a strong comfort on hygiene. The sockets are all universal, so no need for adaptors. It's also a smart room installed with Xiao Du AI with voice command capability. The shower water pressure is strong. Bed is firm and they've got both the firm foam pillow and soft ones to fit different preferences. The room also came with a free fruit platter and ample complimentary bottled water. I also like that the room doors come with inspiring quotes. Each level has a washing machine and dryer and small microwave. The lobby is huge and staff are friendly and helpful. If I must find fault, it's probably in the security in the sense that the lift does not require key card access so anyone can just come up to the rooms. Though I did not experience anything unsafe during my stay. A truly 5* experience at 4* pricing. Certainly my choice hotel the next time I return to Qingdao.

Let me talk about the advantages first: the location is good. Although it is in a residential area, the navigation can accurately guide you to the entrance. After placing the order, the customer service manager will contact me proactively and pull a group of 7 people to solve various problems. He proactively upgraded to a sea-view king room and helped me carry my luggage. Let's talk about the disadvantages: I came here because of the high ratings, but after moving in I could still feel some shortcomings in the hardware and software. Let's talk about the hardware first. The guest rooms are in a villa with three floors. The first floor is the thighs, the second floor is the shoe-changing area and some guest rooms, and the third floor is another part of the guest rooms. The size of guest rooms is generally small, which is easy to understand if it is an economy hotel, but there are seven or eight bedrooms in a three-story villa. It is hard to imagine whether it is an original design or a later renovation. Disadvantages 1: There is no elevator, so it will be very troublesome for guests with suitcases. 2: Guests entering the guest room area are required to change into the slippers they provide on the second floor. They cannot wear their own shoes to enter the guest room area. They said that the wooden floor used in the villa decoration is more precious, so they must change shoes. I have stayed in so many hotels, whether they were handmade stalls or century-old hotels, the floors were already creaking, but no one asked me to change my shoes. I thought I was secretly staying in a palace. 3: The windows of the room face the street. Whether it is day or night, if the curtains are opened, the view inside the room can be seen without reservation (Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5). The housekeeper said there was a gauze curtain, but I didn’t find it. I also want to ask, what should I do if I want to hang clothes to dry? 4: There are many green plants planted outside the building, and many flowers and plants are arranged at the entrance of the first floor, which causes a lot of mosquitoes. Friendly reminder to the housekeeper that you can take long-term mosquito repellent measures around and at the entrance. The worst case scenario is mosquito coils. The cheapest ones don’t cost more than a few yuan a day, which is better than nothing, right? I just can't think of it. Now, let's talk about software. Question 1: A pair of slippers was provided in the bathroom, but there were foreign objects in them (Figure 6 and Figure 7), which clearly indicated that the bathroom was not cleaned or inspected properly. When you encounter a problem, there are a lot of explanations. Question 2: When cleaning, the housekeeper asked, ”We only clean the garbage in the bathroom and room. Do you want us to help you throw it away?” The expression is startling. Is there anyone who doesn’t throw away garbage? Or is “only cleaning the bathroom” a VIP service? Is there any other space besides the bathroom? The land is only this big.

We were given a complimentary room upgrade, which was a lovely surprise. The room was very spacious, and the service was excellent. For families traveling with kids, having laundry facilities available was incredibly convenient. The breakfast area was very clean and well-maintained; it would have been even better with a wider variety of options. The hotel's location is also very convenient for getting around, with easy access to Metro Lines 2 and 3, plus various bus routes. One minor issue was the low water pressure in the bathroom and slow drainage, which might be due to ongoing renovations.

Thanks for the rood upgrade Luka 😌👊 Had a great time in here. The hotel was super clean and comfortable. Hotel managers were good at Eng so I had no problem communicating with them. Also, I had sent them to confirm my reservation twice via email and they replied kindly.

it's been while since I stayed here, and it's good to see the 'designer quirkiness' continues, which is unusual for a budget hotel, right? The lobby has a 24 hour coffee bar, decked out with anything but the plain neutral walls you'd expect— see photos. The rooms keys and notices have tags 'Step into the Ibis Groove' with a vinyl record icon! and 'Enjoy the silence'! 🤫. Great Stuff!— see photos The room has a mini bar, that doubles as a stand up desk, very handy for those use to stand up desks— see photos all this makes the place little more memorable and ilnteresting compared to usual cheap & cheerful budget hotels, but like all budget hotels it not use to catering to international travellers so the use of English is pretty low amongst staff. If you can't speak mandarin make sure you download an app, preferably one that works offline as the internet sucks at IBIS.

Subject: Request for Room Change Delay – Service Improvement and Compensation Request Dear Westin Qingdao Team, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the room change request process I experienced today. I initially requested a room change for a better view, and despite waiting for over an hour, I did not receive any proper response or resolution. When I first arrived at my room, I found that one side of the view was almost entirely blocked by the neighboring building, which was not what I expected. I called the front desk to request a room change, but after 20 minutes with no response, I called again. I was told the team was checking on it. After waiting another 10 minutes without any follow-up, I called once more. The staff seemed to have difficulty communicating in English and repeated that they were still checking. Eventually, I was told that a room on the 16th floor might be available, and someone would come to show it to me. However, no one came. I waited again, then called once more about 10 minutes later, only to be told that the front desk was still confirming and that the new room would not be ready for another 30 minutes. At this point, I had already wasted nearly an hour of my time in Qingdao without any clarity on whether I could even change rooms. As a guest who chose your esteemed hotel for its reputation for excellent service, this experience has been highly disappointing. The lack of communication and inefficient handling of a simple request does not meet the standard expected from the Westin brand. I kindly request a formal explanation of this situation and an appropriate form of compensation for the inconvenience I experienced. I hope this matter will be addressed seriously to ensure a better guest experience going forward. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your prompt response. Best regards, Youngho Yoon Room 1109

Location, location, location! The subway station is right outside, with direct lines to major attractions and the train station. An elevator takes you directly to the 6th-floor rooftop of MixC Mall, and a 7-Eleven downstairs means all your meal needs are conveniently covered. The room is equipped with a microwave, induction hob, and washing machine. While the in-room amenities are a tad basic, it's clearly geared towards travelers who spend most of their time sightseeing. The front desk staff were very friendly and kindly upgraded me to a room featuring a comfortable queen-sized bed (1.5 meters wide). The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. My 25th-floor room boasted mountain views and was wonderfully quiet. Regarding the price, considering both the timing of my visit and its unbeatable location, it's perfectly justifiable.
