Dalian Amano Hotel

Staying at Amano Hotel in Dalian (Xinghai Square Branch) was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance is clean, modern, and incredibly welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We arrived early—before check-in time—but were pleasantly surprised when the front desk called to let us know we could check in immediately and even offered a complimentary room upgrade! 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. The attention to detail, comfort, and overall hospitality made this stay unforgettable. If I ever come back to Dalian, this will be my first choice without hesitation.

Central Plaza Hotel

Staying at Central Plaza Hotel in Dalian was a delightful surprise. While the hotel has seen some years, its warm hospitality and thoughtful touches more than make up for any aging infrastructure. From the moment I checked in, the front desk staff kindly upgraded me to a suite without even being asked—such a pleasant gesture that instantly made me feel welcomed. Upon entering my room, I found a small welcome gift including local specialty shrimp candy—a lovely nod to regional charm that added a personal touch. The room itself was immaculately clean, with a smart toilet seat that made winter mornings much more comfortable. A handwritten note on the desk offered friendly reminders, and complimentary bottled water was thoughtfully placed—small details that truly elevate the experience. The location is unbeatable: right on Zhongshan Road, steps away from major shopping centers and the scenic Labor Park. Whether you're looking for dining options, retail therapy, or a peaceful walk, everything is within easy reach. That said, some facilities show signs of wear and the interior design isn't brand new. But the hotel maintains high standards in cleanliness and space management, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. For travelers who value genuine service, comfort, and convenience over flashy modernity, this well-established hotel offers exceptional value.

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.

Crowne Plaza Xinghai Dalian

Staying at Crowne Plaza Xinghai Dalian was an absolute highlight of our trip! The front desk manager, Sunny Liu, went above and beyond—she called ahead to confirm our arrival, secured us a room upgrade, and made sure everything was ready for our check-in. 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.

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.

Dalian Shizhou Yunshui Hotel (Dalian Xi'an Road Subway Station Branch)

I was in Dalian for a business meeting and had been browsing through several hotels online, but none quite met my expectations—most had tiny rooms or inconvenient parking. Then I stumbled upon Shizhou Yunshui Hotel by chance, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. Our flight arrived late, around 11 PM, but the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and efficient. After checking in, they even brought us warm congee and fresh bread—so thoughtful, especially after a long travel day. When we got to our room, I was genuinely surprised: spacious, immaculately clean, with a beautifully traditional interior design that felt both elegant and cozy. The breakfast spread was impressive—fresh, varied, and served in a spotless dining area. The parking lot attendants were attentive and professional, always guiding us carefully when parking.
