We stayed at Adour Sea-view Hotel in Qingdao and were absolutely impressed! The location is perfect—just a short walk to Qingdao Railway Station and the iconic Zhanqiao Pier. Our room had a stunning sea view, and waking up to the sunrise was magical.

The sausages were only ¥3 each—so good we couldn’t stop eating! And yes, buying more meant bigger discounts—no need to ask how much, just expect a ‘break-the-deal’ price! It’s rare to find such a charming, authentic local touch right outside your hotel door. If you're visiting Qingdao, this place isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience.

I had a fantastic stay at Lanting Coast Daily Rental Hotel (Qingdao Zhanqiao)! The room was clean and well-maintained, with excellent natural lighting that made the space feel bright and welcoming. There was a slight closed-in smell initially—likely from recent renovations—but it cleared up quickly after opening the windows. The bathroom is compact but functional for everyday use. What really stood out was the owner’s incredible hospitality—warm, friendly, and always ready to help. She gave us great local tips on nearby restaurants and public transit options. Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient—just across from Qingdao Station, making it super easy to access the metro and explore the city.
