4-Star Hotels in Jinan

The hotel is new and clean. The room is big and comfortable. They have small gym, and also laundry room. The concierge people were so sweet, they did our laundry, dried it, and also sent it back to our room. The pillows are really comfortable, thats why they have it for sale too. Breakfast is also nice and simple. Would recommend to come to this hotel. It is a walking distance to shopping malls and also some restaurants.

Before check-in, I received a warm welcome call asking about my arrival time and room preferences. They were very accommodating with my requests for a high floor and a quiet, non-smoking room. The check-in process was quick upon arrival, and they even offered delicious tea. Breakfast was a buffet, so everyone could choose what they liked – very satisfied!

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The room they assigned me was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast selection was extensive. The hotel is also conveniently located very close to the subway station, making it easy to get around. Plus, the Olympic Sports Center is only about a 10-15 minute walk away.

Excellent location, no English was spoken by the hotel staff, but they use translation apps, which was fine. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Very nice to have a gym available although I didn’t see any weight benches to be able to use with their free weights. A small outside mall is conveniently close for food and other things to purchase. I will definitely return as there is much to see surrounding the beautiful area of Jinan. 👍🏼

The location is excellent, right next to the main street, and the hotel itself is very impressive. Free parking, including an underground garage, is a huge plus. The service was great; we needed extra blankets, iodine, and slippers, and the staff promptly brought them to our room. The room was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the cleanliness was impeccable.

This hotel is conveniently located not far from Daming Lake. After checking in, we took a car to the Daming Lake area for dinner, then enjoyed a leisurely stroll back to the hotel. Along the way, we passed Quancheng Square, where we admired the spectacular musical fountain show, then wandered into Xigengdao Street to browse the creative cultural market. Finally, we walked along Daming Lake to Chaoran Tower, capturing some beautiful night photos as souvenirs, before slowly making our way back to the hotel. The entire journey allowed us to fully experience Jinan's vibrant energy, relaxed atmosphere, and the unique beauty of its spring water culture. Beyond its excellent location, the hotel also offers top-notch service and facilities, and the breakfast is abundant and delicious. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Jinan, especially those on a self-driving trip.

This is no doubt that No 8 Courtyard Homestay is beautiful place to stay. As international visitors to China it was exactly as we hoped for when we booked. Authentic traditional Chinese accommodation with modern hotel facilities in a fabulous location. It’s very quiet despite the proximity to the busier areas nearby. However, we were very disappointed to find the Homestay misrepresents information about smoking that was important to our accomodation choices and selection on Trip.com. As the photo from the website below shows, No Smoking in Public Areas, there is a Smoking Area. The smell of cigarette smoke was very evident on our arrival in both the courtyard, and the internal reception area. We questioned the hotel receptionist who explained smoking is permitted in certain areas, including the Courtyard that guests enter and exit every time to go in or out of the Homestay. The Courtyard is an outdoor public space and the Homestay smoking area (as per the photo of the ashtray in the Courtyard below). It’s unavoidable. While the reception area is internal, the receptionist explained guests are asked not to smoke if they are smoking. Furthermore, the Homestay provides hotel style ashtrays as the entrances to the elevator and we pointed out there was a cigarette butt in the ashtray, evidence of smoking despite the information on Trip.com. There were no visible ‘no smoking signs’. This meant that we would not enjoy the beautiful public spaces of eitber the Courtyard or the Reception area without cigarette smoke or other guests smoking. The receptionist suggested to us we find another hotel, at nearly 10pm we found this was unsatisfactory. She offered for us to stay and pay one night (of our 3 night booking) but this was a problem for our itinerary. The following day we were offered to change to a room with its own courtyard which we did. However, we would never have booked this accommodation if the correct information about smoking by the Homestay was on Trip.com. As hotel guests have to trust 100 hundred percent that the information on the website is accurate and we reiterated this when the manager came to meet us. The filters for non smoking on Trip.com are very good. But, the Homestay allows smoking in the outside public areas, and internal public areas are only managed if the staff ask the guests not to smoke. The reception told us that does not stop the guests from smoking and they can’t control that. The manager said the Homestay would review its smoking policy. Regardless of this, It is necessary for the Homestay not to misrepresent information but to provide accurate information on their booking platforms.

The room was clean and simple, and the hotel environment felt very new. It was a really pleasant experience staying here during my business trip to Shandong. The front desk staff were very attentive; we had a standard room for four people, and they proactively upgraded us to a four-person breakfast. The breakfast itself was surprisingly excellent and very rich. For this price, the value for money, service, dining, environment, and cleanliness are all fantastic. It's definitely worth a huge thumbs-up from me. I highly recommend everyone to stay here if you get the chance! Oh, and another thing, there are tons of places to eat nearby… very food-friendly!

I booked a smart king room, and the front desk staff upgraded me to a newly renovated suite from a few years ago. Since it was recently renovated, it was very clean – excellent! I always stay at Zhonghao when I go to Jinan; the environment is really good. Both the floor staff and front desk staff are very friendly. The breakfast offers a good variety, but it's not as good as before. The cleanliness of the tables really needs improvement; they were sticky and had oil stains.

The room was spacious and clean, not far from the airport, and exceptionally quiet at night, which made for a great sleep. They even upgraded our room upon check-in! We arrived on a red-eye flight, and since an elderly person in our group had difficulty walking, Xiao Chen at the front desk specially arranged for a driver to contact us in advance. The whole trip went incredibly smoothly! 👌 Highly recommend staying here without hesitation! 👏👍
