Sorry to say that .... but the hotel doesnt deserve the 1st ranking in Trip Advisor nor the 5 star rating. I went there before 10 days for 2 nights with my wife. The good things about the hotel are the following: 1) The sea view is the best in Town I think. 3 Min walk from the hotel and... More

We spend (unplanned) one night in Qingdao and booked the hotel only after arriving @ the airport (Qingdao). One call to the hotel and a shuttle (free of charge) was arranged. Waiting time in total: max 10 minutes. On the bus, towels and water were handed to everyone. The transfer-time was comparable short (40 minutes) and safe (good driver). Arriving... More

This is what you get when you build a modern and elegant building and add a hundred or more well trained staff.

We based our stay at this hotel based on the high ratings of previous visitors, and we were not disappointed in any way. The rooms were as one would expect from a 5 star rating, and we found all staff courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. More

Service is impeccable from the second you arrive. There are doormen at all times who will help ladies out of the car (if you're being dropped off at the front) and who always make sure to tell you to watch your step entering. Once you go through the doors and into the hotel lobby you are immediately greeted with a... More
