New World Dalian Hotel

Staying at New World Dalian Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed—with a standalone bathtub that made for a relaxing soak after a long day. All the bathroom amenities were from Marlin Doggo, which added a nice touch with their fresh scent and high-quality feel. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly—especially one blonde girl with a side-swept fringe who had such a cheerful attitude, and another with dark hair and big eyes who was just as warm and helpful. The housekeeping staff in room 1811 stood out too—she greeted me every time I left the room, kept everything spotless, and even offered genuine recommendations on fun spots around Dalian. After breakfast, walking back into a perfectly tidy room felt like a small daily treat. The breakfast spread was fantastic—huge variety, with both Western and local options covered. The view from the room was stunning, overlooking the bustling city lights and catching glimpses of the sea in the distance. Plus, the hotel’s location is unbeatable—right next to a high-end shopping mall and super accessible for public transit. If I ever come back to Dalian, this will be my first choice without hesitation. A truly memorable stay.

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.

Staying at Furama Hotel Dalian was an absolute highlight of my trip to Dalian. As the first five-star hotel in Northeast China, it’s impressive how well-preserved and vibrant this property remains after all these years.

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.

InterContinental Dalian

Staying at the InterContinental Dalian was an absolutely delightful experience. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Dalian Station, making it incredibly convenient for both arrivals and departures. The room itself was spotless and thoughtfully designed. The hairdryer was powerful with minimal noise and dried my hair in no time—perfect for early mornings or last-minute touch-ups. The air conditioning was whisper-quiet, which was a game-changer for me as someone who struggles with sleep due to noise sensitivity. I also loved the robot delivery service—it added a fun, futuristic touch to the stay and made getting snacks or essentials super easy. The only minor drawbacks were the slightly awkward bathroom latch and the sink faucet, which took a bit of fiddling to get the right temperature. But honestly, these were just small details in an otherwise outstanding stay. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Overall, the comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality made this hotel stand out. I’d definitely recommend it and plan to return.

Kempinski Hotel Dalian

I recently stayed at Kempinski Hotel Dalian and was thoroughly impressed—this place truly delivers on comfort, location, and service. The hotel has just refreshed its brand experience, and the attention to detail is evident throughout. Located right next to Dasha Department Store, it’s incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. I could reach a variety of great local restaurants within just 5 to 10 minutes on foot—perfect for exploring the city without hassle. My room was assigned by Cathy, and I couldn’t be happier. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and had a calming atmosphere that made my stay even more relaxing. The only minor issue was the pillow—I found it a bit too firm—but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately replaced it with a softer one. That kind of responsiveness speaks volumes about their commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, this is a top-tier hotel with exceptional value. I’ll definitely be back.

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.

Hotel Nikko Dalian

This stay exceeded all my expectations! I have to give a special shoutout to the front desk staff, Sally and Xiao Miao—check-in was quick and seamless, and their friendly service made me feel right at home. They even recommended some fantastic local eateries nearby and gave clear walking directions, which was incredibly helpful. The room might be a bit dated, but it’s super comfortable and well-maintained. Plus, the four brand-new elevators (by Mitsubishi!) run smoothly and give you peace of mind. Location-wise, it’s perfect—just steps from the metro and bus stops, making getting around town a breeze. For the comfort, convenience, and value, this hotel is a standout. I’ll definitely be coming back to Dalian and choosing this one again.

Conrad Dalian

I finally met our amazing concierge Maggie right at checkout, and honestly, her service made the entire stay unforgettable. From day one, she checked in daily—asking if we needed anything replenished, if everything was to our satisfaction. On our last day, she even offered to extend our check-out time without hesitation. What really stood out? When I mentioned the air felt a bit dry, she proactively added a humidifier to the room. Then, just before leaving, she asked again if the humidity level was comfortable—such thoughtful attention to detail. The hotel itself is spotless, with well-maintained facilities and a serene atmosphere. Every corner feels cared for, from the spacious rooms to the elegant common areas. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality that goes beyond expectations. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet personal experience in Dalian, this place delivers. 10/10, highly recommend.

Hilton Dalian

I was a bit hesitant about staying at this older hotel, worried it might feel outdated. But I'm happy to say the service more than makes up for any aging amenities. On check-in day, Miriam from guest relations called me personally to ask about my room preferences—she recommended the ocean-view room, and wow, the view is absolutely stunning. I paid a little extra for the upgrade, but honestly, it was totally worth it. Since it was off-season, I was able to check in by noon—no waiting around. Bella at the front desk was so friendly and gave me a thorough overview of the hotel and nearby attractions. Yes, the facilities aren’t as modern as brand-new properties, but the personal touch and consistent hospitality truly stand out. It’s clear they prioritize guest experience over flashy upgrades. A comfortable, well-located stay with excellent service—definitely recommend for travelers who value warmth and reliability.
