Anna Garden b&B

The room was bright and spacious with stunning views, and the courtyard is incredibly picturesque—perfect for photos. What really made the stay special were the two chubby, adorable cats who were absolutely loveable and very relaxed around guests. There was also a quirky rooster that added a unique charm to the place. I couldn’t help but focus all my attention on the cats and the rooster, so I only managed to snap a few shots of them—sorry I didn’t capture more of the surroundings! The location is excellent—very close to both the Third Beach and the Badaguan area, making it easy to explore on foot or by subway. With such a warm atmosphere, great vibes, and unforgettable little residents, this place truly stands out. I’d definitely come back if I ever visit Qingdao again!

But what truly stood out was the service. From the moment I walked into the lobby, a friendly staff member greeted me with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. The front desk manager even took the time to understand my preferences and helped select the perfect room. That kind of personalized attention makes all the difference.

Qingdao Haitian Hotel

This trip to Qingdao was my gift to myself on my 60th birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. The highlight? Staying at Qingdao Haitian Hotel — an absolute gem from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the front desk team greeted us warmly, and our room was thoughtfully decorated for my birthday with a cute plush toy, soft lighting, and a little heart-shaped balloon — such a sweet surprise. Winnie Xiao Li, the guest relations officer, sent daily morning messages with helpful tips and reminders, always ready to assist via WeChat. Any concerns were addressed promptly and clearly, making everything feel effortless. They even noticed how important hydration is when traveling, so they delivered plenty of bottled water throughout our stay — no more dry mouth or discomfort. Since our train back was in the evening, they kindly extended our check-out time, giving us extra time to enjoy swimming and dining without rushing. When it came time to leave, our luggage was already packed and waiting, perfectly synced with our ride-hailing service — seamless and stress-free. The housekeeping staff, especially Yan Shuya, showed incredible attention to detail — she noticed I like using hand cream and left a small premium bottle just for me. That kind of personal touch really stood out. At the 7th-floor infinity pool, lifeguard Zhao Chunyang was not only professional and safety-conscious but also took great photos for us — friendly and reliable. The breakfast staff in the 1988 All-Day Dining restaurant were cheerful and efficient, moving quickly between tables during peak hours while keeping things clean and welcoming. Their double-sided table signs (showing 'occupied' and 'available') prevented any awkward moments when grabbing food. The fruit bar was constantly replenished by staff who monitored usage and freshened up the display on the spot — absolutely impressive. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: walking distance to Wusi Square, Olympic Sailing Center, and the famous Badaguan scenic area. A short taxi ride gets you to Qingdao Railway Station within 15 minutes. Around the hotel, there are tons of great local eateries — both in Hai Tian Mall and GT Plaza — all offering delicious food at reasonable prices. The rooms were spacious, bright, and beautifully laid out, with stunning sea and city views. American Egris bath amenities added a touch of luxury. The lobby is grand and modern, and the 7th-floor infinity pool offers breathtaking ocean vistas — perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view. Overall, this stay exceeded every expectation. Not only did the hotel earn my loyalty, but I’ll definitely recommend it to friends and family. If I ever return to Qingdao, there’s only one place I’ll consider: Qingdao Haitian Hotel.

Crowne Plaza Qingdao

Staying at Crowne Plaza Qingdao was an absolute delight from start to finish. While the hotel isn’t brand new and some facilities show their age, cleanliness is top-notch—every corner feels fresh and well-maintained. The location couldn’t be better: right next to a large shopping mall with a supermarket, so grabbing snacks, essentials, or local treats is super convenient. The subway station is literally across the street, making it easy to explore the city without needing a car. I also want to highlight how friendly and attentive the staff were—especially Reya and her team. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect, always smiling and ready to help. It’s clear they genuinely care about guest comfort. For a great balance of value, convenience, and warm hospitality, this hotel is absolutely worth considering. If you're looking for a stress-free stay in Qingdao, this is the place.

Qingdao Haiyi Sailing Hotel

I stayed at this hotel for three nights and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff kindly upgraded me to a sea-view room, and thanks to the hotel’s height and open location with no obstructions, the view was absolutely breathtaking—waking up to sunrise over the ocean was pure magic. The room was spacious enough for a family of three, with a large, comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom was well-equipped with a toilet, bathtub, and strong-flow shower, though the lighting could be brighter—it felt a bit dim in places. Located on the mid-levels, the hotel shares access to the luxury fitness center of the nearby Le Méridien Residences, which is huge and professionally outfitted with a full range of equipment. I was able to hit every muscle group effectively. There’s also a 25-meter indoor heated pool, plus a changing area with steam rooms, sauna, and a warm whirlpool—perfect for post-workout recovery. During my stay, I dedicated 1.5 hours to strength training, 1.5 hours to swimming, followed by a relaxing session in the sauna and hot tub—my fitness goals were completely met. For running, there’s no need to stick to a treadmill. Just step outside and head to the seaside boardwalk—cross the street to the Taiping Footpath, which starts right here. Running all the way to the end of the Olympic Sailing Port (about 5 km one way) gives you a perfect 10 km round-trip. And once you’re down on the boardwalk, you’re literally steps away from the open sea—great for swimming (though if you're not confident in deep water, the public beach is safer). Breakfast wasn’t overly varied, but it had all the essentials: eggs, oatmeal, milk, whole grains, and fruit. Since I don’t have high expectations for breakfast, it worked fine for me. If you’re looking for something lavish, you might want to set different expectations. Overall, this hotel delivers an unbeatable mix of comfort, convenience, and wellness. The location, views, facilities, and vibe make it a top pick—definitely coming back.
