The room was very clean and the environment was very good. We arrived in the early morning but were able to check in. We put on makeup on the first floor and went to see the sea. The cats were also very cute. I came alone this time. I will choose to stay here next time when I come with friends.

In fact, because the slippers are a bit stinky, I want to score 4.5, but the accommodation experience in Qingdao, which has been staying in Yantai for the past two days, is particularly good, so I give it five stars hahahaha
I stayed late at night. The female boss was on duty and helped me take half of my luggage to the second floor. Girls live on the second floor, have access control, and use electronic bracelets to unlock. Everyone has a shoe cabinet grid and a locker, which can lock valuables inside, and also a bracelet.
On the second floor there is a special girls' bathroom and toilet. The bathroom has three shower compartments with curtains. The toilet has two squat toilet compartments and a toilet.
The washing machine is free to use, not allowed after 11 o'clock, and the hair dryer is also.
I stayed for 9 days. At that time, it was already hot and there were big mosquitoes. Because the door of our room opened before the person who would hit the corridor, the boss changed the curtain, resulting in no sound insulation and mosquitoes flying inside. Later, I was reported that the boss changed a door and the accommodation experience was much better. The more difficult thing is that the central air-conditioning temperature is always not in the comfort zone, either too cold or too hot, the boss is very good and has been communicating with us about the temperature, but until I go, the air conditioner is still too cold during the day and too hot at night. I think it's best for the guests to turn on the small air conditioner directly in the room.
The bed in this hostel seems to be relatively large, but there is no shelf inside the bed. The general wooden youth hostel bed will have a shelf. It feels more convenient to have a shelf for debris.
I deduct half a star for the facilities because the place where the clothes are dried on the second floor outside the window will be rained, and the space is small, and the clothes must be folded to dry, otherwise they will touch the pole below. The boss opened the drying room in the rainy days. At the end of the place where the boys lived on the first floor, I wanted to use it, but I felt a bit stinky when I went in, and many boys’ clothes felt a bit embarrassed in it. There was no drying room.
There are some details, because I will bring my own daily consumables and I don't care, but I feel that some passengers will care more about the problem. In addition to laundry detergent, there are no free paper towels, shower gel, shampoo. Then some passengers may not know that there is a sale on the shelf downstairs.
Probably this, Qingdao is very fun, I went to the Navy Museum twice, the Navy Cubs are super invincible and cute, you must make an appointment in advance to the Navy Museum if you have time!

The procrastination king is here. Although I made a budget trip to Qingdao more than a month ago, I will definitely get back to my hometown sooner or later!
The boss and the cleaning lady are very friendly. There are two floors in total. When I went there, it was already an all-girls youth hostel. Disposable bath towels and slippers will be prepared for you when you check in. There are also water dispensers, vending machines, coffee, tea bags, and refrigerators on the first floor.
There are toilets on the first and second floors. There are 3 squat toilets and 3 showers on the second floor. They are separated into dry and wet areas. I haven't been to the first floor so I don't know.
As for the room, I chose a two-person room at first, but later changed it to a four-person room. The four-person room is much larger than the two-person room. Some rooms have windows. You can check on the software. It is better to have windows. In the morning, I can't do anything and can't see anything. One day when I woke up early, I saw that other rooms were pitch black. It was really inconvenient.
The location is very close to Qingdao Station. There are other youth hostels nearby, such as Strawberry Youth Hostel and Mountain and Sea. I didn't book the two more famous ones because I hadn't finalized my itinerary. I was actually hesitant when booking this one because it seemed to have been renovated at the end of 2005. I also saw comments saying that it smelled bad, so I left overnight. But it's really cheap. It cost less than 40 yuan a night when I went there in January 2006. I heard from my roommate that she booked in advance and had a coupon, so it cost about 30 yuan a night.
In fact, when I first went there, I made a draft in my mind and communicated with the boss, saying that I would first see if the smell was really strong and stay for a while before deciding whether to check in. The boss also readily agreed, provided that everyone was polite. I heard that some people stayed until after 8 o'clock in the evening and found excuses to check out. This is unnecessary, right? But in fact, there was no smell at all. Although I was still a little worried at the beginning, it was only a four-night stay, so it was not a big problem for me to have a mental balance (this is also one of the reasons why it is best to choose a room with a window)
But the next day I had no worries at all. My body type really makes me unable to smell anything. There are still quite a lot of people staying at this place. It is full even in the off-season. Some people have stayed there before and came back again. I feel that this place will be popular in the future. So sisters who want to stay in Qingdao for a few days can take advantage of the cheap price to go there.
As for food nearby, I couldn't find any restaurants, so I ate dumplings at a restaurant that was recommended by the youth hostel owner. He recommended the ones with Spanish mackerel filling, saying that the taste was similar to that of a more famous chain store (I forgot the name), and it tasted really good. The owner also gave me two dumplings with shrimps inside, which I thought tasted better. The only sad thing was that I went there in winter, and the dumplings were cold by the end of the meal.
Very Good

Inside Badaguan, close to the armed police station, there is a full sense of security, and in the morning there is a masculine military slogan as the wake-up call. It is very close to the Badaguan Second Bathing Beach and the bus stop (I only found out it was very close when I walked in the other direction from the hotel the next day). The sanitary facilities are average, which is not consistent with my impression of youth hostels. It may be due to the geographical location. At this price, you can only take advantage of the convenient location. But the boss is very enthusiastic and makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Located inside a housing compound. GPS navigation brought me to the door, which was fortunate as it would be hard to find otherwise. They could do with a sign in English – meanwhile, look out for the Chinese characters 观海. It looks like you're arriving at the back door of a ground floor apartment. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, using a translation app where necessary. The atmosphere is cheerfully scruffy and youthful, with hundreds of visitors' signature all over the walls. Facilities are basic – the showers are over squat toilets (plenty of water though), and there are no drinking water refill machine (buy plastic for 1 yuan at the reception). The lobby area is tiny – they actually advertise the sofa bed in the lobby as a single-occupancy. Not a great idea – don't confuse it with a tiny single room as I did. They upgraded me to a dorm room. The mattress is not soft. The location is good for a visit to May 4th Square and the seafront. Overall, it was okay to doss here one night, but I found Kaiyue Hostel much better value.

It is right next to Qingdao's University Road, and there is a supermarket right in front that is famous for being a filming location for dramas, so it is a fun place to watch Chinese people taking certification shots. It feels like staying at a Chinese person's home, and it feels like a renovated house. They do laundry for free, and they dry your laundry in the sun, so it feels good. What's interesting is that there is a mysterious cave in the accommodation, so you should definitely go in. It's creepy. However, there are no mattresses on the beds, just hard wooden floors, so people who have trouble sleeping might be concerned.

It was already very late when I arrived at Qingdao North Station. The store owner picked me up in person for free, which was very heartwarming.

Must give five-star praise

This is a small but beautiful hostel near May Fourth Square. It was my first time staying in a youth hostel and I encountered such a good one. The bed had a curtain, which made me feel safe. The bed was large and comfortable. The price was really beyond my expectations. The environment was great and the owner was super nice, like family. He often fed us. The location is great, right outside the door is the beach. During my stay, I went out for a walk with my roommates every day to see the sea. Finally, here is a beautiful sea view photo of May Fourth Square o (*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

It's very close to Golden Beach, a 20-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop just a few minutes' walk away for trips to Yinshatan and Yumingzui Village. The neighborhood is quiet and uncrowded. The owner was very welcoming. 👍 The price didn't increase much during the holidays, which was a great bonus. 👍

GGuest UserОчень гостеприимная и ответственная хозяйка и чудесное место размещения! Очень рекомендую.
Изначально мы бронировали не то жилье, в которое нас разместили, и узнали об этом уже на месте. Но место оказалось соответствующим всем нашим запросам и даже лучше. Три изолированных комнаты, гостиная, большой балкон с потрясающим видом на океан. Комнаты светлые, с окнами, в каждой двуспальная кровать, в основной спальне их даже две. Две туалетных комнаты, в каждой помимо туалета есть душ.
В пешей доступности площадь 4 мая, выход на набережную и куча кафе.
Единственный нюанс - жесткие кровати в двух комнатах поменьше. Очень жесткие! Но нам не сильно это помешало.
В целом рекомендуем от души.

GGuest UserThe room size is right, the health is good, the price is not expensive, the equipment is fully equipped, that is, the TV has no network, and don't choose the room on the side of the road, there are many big cars at night.
GGuest UserThe train at night couldn’t find the room and went there with the attitude of giving it a try. I found that the environment was really hygienic and there was nothing wrong with it. The proprietress also planned the route for us and told us how to go. The ice powder and sour plum soup made in the store were really great. I have to buy 15 copies at the night market. It costs five yuan. The overall feeling is still good. I don’t understand some bad reviews. It may be that everyone’s needs are different, haha.
