The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from Qingdao Railway Station and only about 100 meters from the seaside.

The building itself is a charming red vintage structure that truly captures the nostalgic vibe of old Qingdao—perfect for photography and soaking in the local atmosphere. My fourth-floor room was spacious and comfortable, offering plenty of room to relax after a long day exploring. The only downside? No elevator in this historic building, so carrying luggage up and down can be a bit challenging. But honestly, the incredible location, sea views, and authentic charm completely outweigh that small inconvenience. If you're looking for a unique, well-located stay with character, this place is a must-book.
