Seaview Hotels in 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."

"Great location, top facilities and services. Our kids had great time there, in particular they loved the bunker bed, breakfast buffet and the swimming pools. Special shoutout to Xiao Shaolin 小邵who’s been really caring and helpful during our stay. We would definitely recommend this place to whoever plans to travel to Qingdao!"

"The hotel meets all basic criteria in location (just 1 min walk to metro), cleanliness, and amenities. It also some thoughtful gestures such as preparing spectacle wipes, local snacks, laundromat is at every floor. The room has smart controls to voice activate the switches and queries. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Qingdao."

"Really great location and the amenities include a kitchenette and washing machine which was really helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the metro and is nested in a residential building, there are three separate receptions for different hotels in the building all on the ground floor. Couldn't really connect to the smart home systems due to not having a Chinese number but it's a common problem across China. The reception team is friendly and there is luggage storage post check out."

"The hotel’s rooms and facilities are really outdated! We stayed there 15 years ago - nothing has changed! It was a nice time travel, but really this hotel has not see any upgrade since 20 years it seems!"

"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"

"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."

"Location: 5 min walk from hotel to The mixc mall 万象城 super convenient. There are marts and restaurants nearby.

"The stay at intercontinental in Qingdao was amazing. Fairy helped us check in and made sure we had the best stay. We had 2 rooms and both were upgraded to rooms with balcony, seaview and hottub on the balcony. It made our trip very special. The view from the balcony was fantastic, and really worth it! Breakfast had a large selection of western and Chinese breakfast. Overall a great stay with great services!"
