I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Qingdao.

The room had plenty of power outlets that all worked perfectly—something I always appreciate. The bed was just right—not too soft, not too firm—by far the most comfortable sleep I’ve had in a hotel recently. The underfloor heating is gentle and adjustable, which is great for cooler evenings. There’s a full-length mirror and multiple mirrors throughout, perfect for travelers who need to freshen up or do makeup. The TV being able to cast content from my phone was such a nice touch—so many hotels have TVs that are basically useless. Best of all? You can see the sea right outside your door. Watching sunrise and sunset from the window was magical. It’s also close to beach attractions and super convenient for public transport. The only downside is slightly thin walls—noise from adjacent rooms comes through, but it’s manageable. Ordering food delivery took a bit longer, probably due to peak hours, but still worth it.
