Hotels in Dalian with sea view​

I booked late, so I could only get a Quiet Room. The room was very clean, and the bedding was excellent. The front desk service was also good. This hotel has been open for many years. There are private rooms upstairs and a buffet downstairs. It's very close to the beach, and the Tongniu Mountain Scenic Area is right next to it. Overall, it was a great experience.

The hotel's exterior is magnificent, like a castle. I booked a sea view room, and the ocean view from the window was beautiful. Even though it's by the sea, the room was surprisingly dry; my swimsuit dried completely within a day. I was a bit anxious after reading reviews about long queues for breakfast, but when I got there, I found that before 8 AM, there's usually no queue. Plus, staff members directly seat you and place a reserved sign, which is a nice touch. In some hotels, even if there's no queue when it's busy, not finding a seat and having to wander around with your plate is even more awkward. Now for the good parts, there are two downsides I hope the hotel can improve. First, the hotel's Chinese restaurant is really expensive, and there's a service charge, but the taste and service were truly underwhelming. I had originally planned to just eat at the hotel every day, but after one meal, I realized it didn't even meet expectations for taste or value for money – it failed on all three counts. Secondly, for a hotel at this price point, charging for a can of Coke and a bottle of juice in the mini-fridge seems unnecessary. Many five-star hotels even offer a full selection of expensive drinks for free, along with complimentary fruit and snacks, but here they charge extra, which comes across as a bit petty.

My old parents came from Korea. We - 6 people - wanted to have a great memory during their stay in Dalian. Its location was perfect, sitting at the heart of fishermen s warf, but it was right after rain that things were humid. I should admit that for the peak time and prime location, it is a reasonable price and I blame the wet weather for some smelly environment. Should avoid wet weather. It is already right at the sea. Also, the price is as much as other 5 stars that are not in this location. There are lots of insta spots in and out of the hotel, so it is whether to put yourself at the top location with a bit reasonable price or modernized hotels like Hilton and intercontinental that are farther away and a couple of bucks more expensive.

The hotel building is very impressive. Environment: You can see the garden, and the scenery is very good. The hotel is close to the scenic area, and it's not a long walk after taking a car down the mountain. Service: The service was quite attentive, very satisfied. Shared shuttle service down the mountain: Excellent, no need to wait too long, there's usually a car available as soon as you get there.

The location is excellent for tourists, with the harbour and shopping centre just a short walk away. We especially loved the stunning views, both during the day and at night. The rooms are spacious, and the sound insulation between rooms is very good, making it a comfortable place to stay. There are a few drawbacks, however. The biggest issue is that there isn’t a separate guest bathroom. Guests staying in the two guest bedrooms need to use the master ensuite to shower, which isn’t very convenient. The bedrooms also don’t have blackout curtains, so they’re quite bright at night due to the neon lights outside, and the early sunrise (around 4:00 am) makes it difficult to sleep in. We also noticed an unpleasant odour coming from the bathroom drain, which persisted throughout our month-long stay. Overall, this is a very good place for a large family or group, particularly if you plan to cook your own meals and make use of the laundry facilities. With a few improvements, it would be an even better place to stay.

First off, the location is incredibly convenient. Right outside the door are Xinghai Square and the beach, and there are many great restaurants nearby: Xiding, Wei'erwei'er, Haiwei Dangjia, and Sakuragi Chizuru (not recommended)... From the moment we arrived at the hotel entrance, every staff member was very welcoming. The duty manager, a man with glasses who checked me in, was exceptionally patient. The absolute best part, though, was the unbeatable view from the room. Sipping coffee and watching people and seagulls in the square from my room was incredibly therapeutic!!! The pool wasn't crowded and was very clean; my child loved it!! The carpet and headboard in the room were a bit of a downside – they were a bit old-fashioned. However, the other facilities were excellent, and there was no strange odor in the room. The mattress was comfortable, and the room was quiet... We didn't book breakfast, but ordering takeout was super easy. I highly recommend the pork buns from Xipu and the specialty latte from Wuyoo – I ordered them two days in a row! The Laowei Menzi was also good... If you're traveling with kids and not looking for a super intense 'special forces' kind of trip, I highly recommend this place. It really gives you that vacation vibe!

Particularly loved the room, it was clean and smelt good. However the built-in cabinets were hard to open for some reason they didn’t have any handle to open them easily. Quite a unique place and interior but we did not enjoy breakfast as it was downstairs near the beach area which literally smelt fishy and some flies were entering the cafe. The lounge area did not look well-maintained as well. The staff were very helpful and polite though. So overall it was a wonderful stay because right off the beach area the view was splendid! You could even watch seagulls peacefully at sunrise.

Maybe i was highly expecting for a hotel lime others Hard Rock Hotel. But this one is just okay. My room is ocean view but its not a private beach for the hotel. Cant swim at the beach. But many activities that you can do on it. The breakfast was great. There are so many selections that i can eat for a Muslim. The room is clean with full amenities. Btw , at night i ordered Fish&Chips & also brownies with icecream.But it so bland. The fries not cooked well & the brownies is not hot & hard. Not recommended. They also have live band at night. The water pressure in the room also low.

This luxury sea-view king room boasts an unbeatable location. From the window, I could gaze out at Donggang's sea and the Musical Fountain Plaza. Lying in bed, watching the sunrise paint the sky with early morning ferries passing by, the floor-to-ceiling window felt like a living painting! To the right, the yacht marina offered views of white yachts sailing into the distance and returning against a backdrop of blue skies and seas. The room itself was spacious and bright, and both the towels and bedding were impeccably clean. The hotel offers two breakfast options. The 38th-floor sea-view restaurant, while not having a huge variety, more than makes up for it with its stunning views. The noodles were good, the beef brisket was tender and flavorful, and the onsen egg was delicious. Alternatively, there's the breakfast restaurant on the first floor, shared with the adjacent Hilton, which is directly accessible from the lobby. This one has an incredibly extensive selection. Unlike the quiet elegance of the 38th-floor restaurant, this spot is bustling with life and offers an amazing array of choices, especially Chinese dim sum – lamb soup, jianbing guozi (savory crepes), tofu pudding, noodles… Western options are also plentiful, with croissants that were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and rich with buttery flavor, plus three espresso machines for fresh coffee. Beyond the excellent facilities, the front desk staff and the doormen were all incredibly friendly and helpful! 👍🏻

We brought our child to Dalian this time, and staying at the Xinghai Holiday Hotel was definitely the right choice! The hotel's location is superb, with the Cross-Sea Bridge and Xinghai Square right outside our window. My child would eagerly press their face against the window every morning to watch the sea. What truly touched us was the duty manager, Manager Ning. Upon learning we were traveling with our 7-year-old son, Manager Ning specially upgraded us to a higher-floor sea-view room, offering an even more expansive view. They even thoughtfully provided children's toothbrushes and slippers. Throughout our stay, Manager Ning would always crouch down to chat with my child whenever we met, asking if they were having fun – truly approachable and friendly. The hotel was clean, and the staff were all very welcoming. This experience made our whole family feel warm and cared for. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Dalian! A heartfelt thank you to Manager Ning and the entire team for their dedicated service!
