Xinghai Bay Impression Hotel (Dalian Xinghai Park)

Staying at Xinghai Bay Impression Hotel was a perfect choice for our family trip. Located just steps away from Xinghai Park, it made exploring so easy—our kids loved chasing the tide, setting up tents, and taking boat rides. We also visited Sea World and the children’s playground nearby, all within walking distance. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. With such convenient access to attractions and a welcoming atmosphere, this hotel offers excellent value for families.

Xinyue Apartment Hotel

Staying at the Xinyue Apartment Hotel in Dalian was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the nearby plaza and close to the museum, making it super convenient for exploring the city. My kids had a blast here, enjoying the spacious layout and comfortable setting. While the property does feel a bit dated, with slightly outdated furnishings and inconsistent Wi-Fi, the safety standards and cleanliness were solid. One thing worth noting: the shower doesn’t have a showerhead, which made bathing a bit tricky. Still, considering how central it is and how easy it is to get around, this place offers strong value for money—especially for families looking for a hassle-free stay in a well-connected area.

They also gave us a quick rundown on where to find toiletries and other essentials so we could help ourselves—no hassle, no waiting. Plus, their local recommendations for dining and sightseeing were spot-on. We tried several spots they suggested and weren’t disappointed—they really know the city! It’s rare to feel such genuine warmth from a host while still enjoying a high level of privacy and convenience. And location-wise? Perfect.

Super 8 Hotel (Dalian Xinghai Square)

Staying at Super 8 Hotel (Dalian Xinghai Square) for New Year's Eve was a great choice. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained—immediately made me feel comfortable upon arrival. The location is excellent: just a 20- to 30-minute walk or short subway ride from Xinghai Square, making it super convenient for exploring the city center. I also loved the little surprise of seeing local cats roaming around the neighborhood—adorable, though they kept their distance! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; one lady in particular went above and beyond with her warm attitude and quick assistance. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality. Overall, this hotel offers great value, comfort, and a welcoming vibe—perfect for travelers who want to be close to attractions without sacrificing quality. Definitely planning to come back.

Bayshore Hotel

The overall experience was excellent, especially the ocean-view room—stunning scenery with a refreshing sea breeze when the window was open. The only minor issue was that the air conditioning seemed to be set too low, and combined with direct sunlight through the windows, the room temperature stayed uncomfortably high throughout my stay. I kept the window open the entire time, but it didn’t help much with cooling down—made it tough to sleep comfortably. If you’re sensitive to heat, be mindful of this, and consider requesting a room with better climate control or bringing a light blanket. That said, everything else was top-notch: great location, clean rooms, friendly staff, and fantastic value for money. Definitely would book again.

Her attention to detail and prompt service made the entire experience seamless. The room itself was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a bed that offered a perfect night's sleep. The bathroom featured a smart dry-wet separation layout, which added both convenience and hygiene. Every little touch showed how much care the team puts into guest satisfaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Dalian!

the Castle Hotel, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Staying at The Castle Hotel in Dalian was an unexpectedly delightful experience. While the property is over ten years old and shows a few signs of aging—like minor cracks on the cabinet above the minibar and some walls—the overall condition doesn’t detract from the comfort or quality of the stay. It’s still a well-maintained luxury hotel with all standard amenities you’d expect. Breakfast was solid, offering more variety than some Westin locations but slightly less than certain Marriott properties. That said, the food quality stood out: the pastries were excellent, juices and milk options were plentiful, and the hot dishes were flavorful despite limited choices. The braised pork belly with potatoes was rich and aromatic, while the steamed shrimp were large and fresh. One area for improvement? The fruit wasn’t very sweet, and the quality could be better. But cleanliness was spotless—no issues there. The location is truly special: perched on a hill overlooking the sea, it’s one of Dalian’s iconic landmarks. Nighttime photos are absolutely stunning, and walking down to the city takes about 10–15 minutes—quiet and peaceful, though not directly next to a subway station. Taxis are easy to catch. The rooftop garden on the fifth floor is a hidden gem, perfect for relaxing or just enjoying the view. The lobby itself is grand and beautifully designed—every corner is photogenic. Service was exceptional: staff greeted us warmly, opened doors, helped with luggage, and the dedicated concierge team went above and beyond to accommodate requests. The minibar comes at an extra cost, but we were pleasantly surprised with a welcome fruit platter, dessert, and a generous bottle of house-brewed beer—a unique touch. This brew isn’t available online, but it’s smooth, refreshing, and definitely worth trying. Overall, this hotel delivers a high level of charm, comfort, and value. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience that blends elegance, nature, and thoughtful service. I’d definitely return.

Grand Hyatt Dalian

Staying at Grand Hyatt Dalian was an absolute highlight of my trip to Dalian! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the amusement park, and you can hop on the trendy Xinghai Promenade right outside. I loved grabbing dinner at Xi Ding nearby; it’s easy to get a table even during peak hours. The room view is spectacular—direct sightlines to Xinghai Bay with breathtaking sunrises. While the evening light show wasn’t my favorite, seeing it from the comfort of my room made it just as magical. The staff went above and beyond—prompt, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. During the off-season, they upgraded us to a spacious corner room without hesitation and even left a small gift. The fitness center is well-equipped, the pool is clean and inviting, but the real surprise was the sauna and hot tub area—beautifully designed, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. A quick 15-minute cab ride gets you to Jinsha Beach, making it easy to explore more of the city. This hotel offers incredible value, comfort, and charm—definitely a top-tier choice for first-time visitors to Dalian.

That kind of personalized service is rare and truly appreciated. Located just steps away from Xinghai Square, it's super convenient for exploring the city by metro or on foot.
