Choosing the Riyueming Hotel (Minkang Branch) was the best decision I made during my trip to Dalian! From the moment I booked until I checked out, I was impressed by the thoughtful service, excellent location, and meticulous attention to detail. The value for money was incredible, making it an absolute gem for anyone visiting Dalian for tourism or business. I simply had to write a detailed review to recommend it to everyone~
The hotel's location is truly prime. It's just a 5-minute walk to Metro Line 2, making it super convenient whether you're transferring at Dalian Railway Station, taking the subway directly to the airport, or exploring the European architecture of Zhongshan Square and the exotic charm of Russian Street. The surrounding area is also full of treasures. Downstairs, there are authentic Northeast eateries, and local delicacies like sea urchin dumplings and seaweed buns are all within walking distance. It’s perfect for foodies and busy tourists who need to refuel after exploring all day!
The cleanliness completely exceeded my expectations. As someone who is very particular about accommodation hygiene, I was thoroughly impressed. The room was spotless, the carpet was so clean I almost didn't want to step on it, and the bathroom featured a perfect wet/dry separation with no odd smells or limescale in the corners. Disposable toilet seat covers and individually packaged toiletries were all provided. The toiletries kit was an even bigger surprise; it included not only shampoo and shower gel but also conditioner and body lotion, beautifully presented in a gift bag, adding a touch of luxury. The linens were changed for each guest, soft, clean, and odorless, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep.
Service is truly the soul of this hotel. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I felt a familial warmth. Although the hotel is a vintage villa without an elevator, the front desk attendant immediately offered to help carry our luggage to our room when he saw us with suitcases. He was all smiles, patiently explaining nearby attractions and recommending local restaurants. Upon check-in, we received a thoughtful welcome kit from the hotel, containing some UHA snacks and bottled water. The lobby on the first floor also offers free popcorn and drinks for self-service, perfect for a quick energy boost. When I needed a power strip and a hairdryer, they were delivered to my room within minutes of contacting the front desk, and they even provided a high-quality LaFèn hairdryer – such attention to detail really made me feel cared for. We also received a small gift from the hotel when checking out; this level of sincerity is truly rare.
While the room facilities weren't luxurious, they were practical and comfortable. The mattress and latex pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing me to sleep undisturbed until I naturally woke up. The room decor has a retro vibe, and the staircase is stylishly adorned, making it perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. It perfectly preserves the charm of an old building while offering modern conveniences.
