Posted on Oct 18, 2026|Deluxe 2-Queen Room
Guest UserTraveling 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.

Guest UserFacilities: Perhaps because it's been open for a while, some facilities are a bit old. The balcony railing paint was peeling.
Hygiene: The toilet had a strange smell, and when we first entered the room, there was a stuffy odor. The carpet had stains, and the towels at the water park smelled.
Environment: The location is pretty good, convenient for family trips by car, but there's no subway station nearby.
Service: This was excellent; any issues raised were promptly resolved.

Guest UserSpent two nights at the hotel in late October with breakfast included.
Convenient location within walking distance to May Fourth Square and the Olympic Sailing Center, with the subway station right outside the door.
Comfortable stay—the king-size bed had four pillows, and one of them was an absolute game-changer (those who struggle to sleep away from home will totally get this). The room was spacious and clean with an ocean view, attaching photos. The indoor pool is amazing; had I known the water temperature would be so pleasant, I wouldn't have bothered with such an intense warm-up. The lifeguard was also very responsible, attentively looking after even just a single guest in the pool.
I want to highlight the breakfast. Since I had to head out a bit after 6 AM, the front desk helped place my order in advance, and I got my hot coffee and food right on the dot at 6 o'clock. Thank you! I managed to dine in person on the second day, but only gave myself 20 minutes. I had no idea the Westin breakfast spread was so lavish and the buffet layout so expansive—it took me a full 10 minutes just to walk through and check out all the options, though I did manage to snag a favorite seat (photo attached).
All in all, I'll definitely stay here again next time.

ZQSJYI have to give the Mövenpick Hotel Qingdao five stars! The hotel has a sophisticated vibe, and the public areas are meticulously maintained. The guest rooms are clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful details; the bedding really helps you sleep well. The staff are professional and attentive, providing excellent service without being perfunctory. Both the hardware and software are top-notch. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Qingdao. Special shout-out to Lili and Xiaoxiao at the front desk for their great service!

mzlt2004Located right inside the airport, I used to always stay here for the convenience of catching a flight. However, whether due to a change in management or something else, compared to a year ago, the room service and dining management are a total mess. Check-in takes forever, there was no bath mat in the room, and the coffee machine in the breakfast room was so filthy it was hard to look at. Well before closing time, many food items were already gone. Some of the staff act like wooden puppets, and the crashing noise of clearing dishes is terribly annoying. To top it all off, they were sweeping and cleaning right next to our table while we were eating—simply unbelievable. I won't be staying here again.

Guest UserEvery year, I come to Qingdao for National Day to see the sea, and every year I stay at Hyatt Regency Qingdao. The hotel truly makes you feel at home. Even before check-in, they had already secured my room and arranged it according to my requests. The service is thoughtful and attentive, making my stay very comfortable and secure.
The hotel's basement provides direct access to the beach, perfect for enjoying the sea, digging in the sand, or meditating. When you're tired, you can easily return to your room to rest. It's incredibly convenient, with beautiful scenery and fewer crowds.
The room decor is elegant, the furniture is exceptionally well-maintained, the bedding is very comfortable, and the shower pressure is excellent. The breakfast spread is particularly rich with numerous choices. The hotel service is friendly, making it an excellent choice for value for money. Definitely a five-star recommendation! 👍

LingshiThe hotel's location is excellent, right downstairs from Tai'an Old Street and Aegean Sea Shopping Mall. There's plenty of free parking if you're driving. The room facilities are brand new, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, and a smart toilet. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer distant mountain views, and the room also has a huge bathtub. The toiletries are good too.
The service details really add value: there's a 24-hour front desk, complimentary welcome snacks upon arrival, and a wide variety of breakfast options. Overall, it was a really great stay.

YRbubblegumStayed for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! Best of the best! Service was exceptional, from the lobby greeters to the room service team. Requested an ice bucket and it arrived within 10 minutes crazily efficient! The room was spacious, and all facilities were well maintained. King sized bed is super comfy!
Prime location, right next to the metro and shopping mall, with plenty of food options nearby and easy access to Qingdao’s attractions. Breakfast was insanely good, both in variety and taste!
For the price I paid, the value for money was UNBEATABLE! Definitely one of my best hotel stays. Would 100% return!

Guest UserThis hotel brand reminds me of when the economy was booming. Back in 2017, I stayed at the Wanda Vista in Hefei for my wedding – it was a super five-star hotel then, though it's been sold and isn't called Vista anymore. This time, I brought my kid to Huangdao and tried the Wanda Vista there. The facilities, location, and decor are good, but to be honest, the hotel is definitely showing its age in the details. It's convenient for drivers, with easy parking and EV charging. Breakfast had a good variety and tasted nice. I'll come back again, next time I'll try the Vista's restaurant. This trip was a quick 'special forces' run, a two-day round trip from Xuzhou to Huangdao.
