Jinan Hotels with Parking

I booked this hotel because it looked very close in a straight line on the map. However, if it's your first time here, following the navigation will completely disorient you. The standard route forces you through an underground passage, constantly telling you you're going the wrong way. You can see the hotel's sign right above you, feeling like it's within arm's reach, but then you see the surrounding taxi lanes blocked by iron fences, making it seem impossible to get through – it's enough to make you lose your mind. I had to ask a passerby, a security guard, for help. Luckily, people from Shandong are warm and hospitable; he patiently guided me and even moved the fence so I could take the ground-level pedestrian path, which made it much closer. This short distance ended up taking over half an hour. After familiarizing myself with the surroundings the next day, I realized the hotel is actually just a 10-minute walk from the train station. The hotel looks tall, but the usable floors aren't very high. There are many tall buildings around the train station, so there's no real view to speak of, apart from air conditioning unit frames. I originally planned to extend my stay for another day, but after quickly checking off a few must-sees, I decided to leave early. **Facilities:** Acceptable **Hygiene:** Acceptable **Environment:** The surroundings are a parking lot, charging stations, and food delivery scooters – a bit chaotic.

Our family's stay here exceeded expectations. The room was very clean, odor-free, and spacious enough for our family of three without feeling cramped. The mattress was just right – not too soft, not too hard – and it was very quiet at night, ensuring a great night's sleep. The facilities were well-maintained, and the toiletries were fully stocked. The staff were attentive and responded quickly to our needs. The location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around and dining out. Overall, our stay was comfortable and relaxing, perfect for a family trip. Highly recommended.

Facilities: Upscale, excellent, high floor. Hygiene: Clean, tidy, and beautiful. Environment: Good, well-equipped, close to the train station. Service: Very good, a great choice, this is my third stay. Excellent, excellent, very good.

The hotel is located in an old factory building, so the surroundings are quiet. They offer airport pick-up; I arrived at night and was at the hotel in about 7 minutes, which was very quick. The front desk staff were very welcoming and came out to greet me. I noticed there are many dining options nearby. I highly recommend Chaoyixing Restaurant for its affordable and generous portions – a must-try for Northerners, though Southerners might not be accustomed to it. The subway station is also quite close; I just hopped on a shared electric scooter and was there in no time. Overall, it's a good place, and the hotel pillows are really comfortable. I forgot to take pictures of the hotel itself, but I did get some shots of the surrounding area.

Environment: It takes less than 5 minutes to get to the Laotun subway station, which is very convenient. Hygiene: The room is spacious, clean and tidy, and you can see that it is cleaned frequently. I soaked in the bathtub after a tiring day, which was very comfortable 😌, and I felt that every pore was taken care of. Service: I checked in at almost 11 o'clock in the evening. The waiter was very friendly and not impatient at all. When I entered the room, I saw the prepared snacks. People who like to eat midnight snacks said it was very heartwarming 🥰 Facilities: The do not disturb function in the room is really great. I can sleep until the sun rises the next day. It's really great. Once the curtains are drawn, no one loves them. The airtightness is great. When I left, the souvenirs I was given included masks. Tears welled up in my eyes🥹. I didn't expect there would be so many catkins in Jinan when I came here, so I didn't prepare them. I didn't expect the hotel to be so considerate and prepare them. When I arrived near Baotu Spring, there were as many catkins as the wind. Thanks to the hotel for providing them😷🥳 I will come to this hotel again next time I come to Jinan. The bed is very comfortable and everything is great. I don't want to leave😋

Traveling 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.

Pros: 1. The hotel's location is excellent, with a courtyard, a luxurious environment, and ample parking. The service attitude is superb, and it's very clean. We even got a free upgrade to a suite, and each room has a bathtub. 2. Some negative reviews mentioned that water needs to be paid for. I did see the 15 yuan per bottle Nongfu Spring, but you can always ask the hotel for free bottled water. I asked for two bottles and they brought four, no charge. 3. Negative reviews also mentioned a strange smell in the rooms. This time, I noticed silicone covers on all floor drains and an air freshener in the bathroom, so I didn't detect any unpleasant odors. 4. I didn't find the bedding to be unclean, as some negative reviews stated. Areas for Improvement: 1. Things got a bit eerie at night. At 10 PM, the TV suddenly turned on by itself and the volume went to maximum. The remote couldn't control it, and the power outlet for unplugging was out of reach. A staff member came to resolve it after 10 minutes by unplugging it. 2. The light switch control is a bit clunky. It's either all lights on or all lights off. During the day, if you just want to turn off the lights to sleep, the curtains also close, making it completely dark. It would be good to have a small night light and separate controls for curtains and lights. 3. The mattress is very soft; you sink right into it. This might not be an issue for those who like it. 4. There's a red motion-sensor light directly above the bed, diagonally. I didn't know what it was at first, but when I turned over in my sleep, it would light up, and the same happened when my partner moved. It startled me quite a bit. 5. The air conditioning wasn't on, but for some reason, the vent would make a mechanical braking sound intermittently. These issues didn't affect my rest, and I hope the hotel can improve them. I would still consider staying here again next time.

I have stayed at this hotel twice before because it’s quite close to the train station but this time, I got a room so small that I had to roll on the bed to get to the other side of the room. The space between the foot of the bed and TV stand was too narrow to comfortably walk through. The hotel is also in an obscure area so the Didi can’t drop /pick you at the door. The staff is very friendly though. Breakfast options are enjoyable but also limited.

Whenever I travel, I always book Atour Hotel. The hotel offers great value for money, the room cleanliness is meticulous, there are no strange odors, and the toiletries are well-stocked. The soundproofing is good, so it's very quiet at night and I get a great rest. The staff's service attitude is excellent; any request is usually handled promptly. Overall, it feels very thoughtful, and staff members I encounter in the hallway always greet me politely. The breakfast is also very good, and the whole environment is clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

This hotel is located in Jinan Gaoxin Wanda Plaza. You enter through Y1 gate and take the hotel's dedicated elevators (4 or 5) to the 19th-floor reception for check-in. The hotel is directly across from Shandong Energy Group, making it one of the closest hotels to it. The three reception staff were warm, generous, and provided excellent service. The room was clean and hygienic, and being on a high floor, it was very quiet at night. Breakfast, also on the 19th floor, was very rich and plentiful.
