Hotele Boutique w: Shandong, China

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location. It is situated within the Olympic Sailing Center, one of the best places to enjoy Qingdao’s most beautiful night views. In fact, this is the very spot where people come to admire the famous night scenery of May Fourth Square. When traveling with children, one of the biggest concerns is figuring out what to do in the morning or evening that everyone can enjoy comfortably. Staying at this hotel solves that problem immediately. Along the marina, where yachts are docked, you'll find small snack stands, people enjoying leisurely walks, and occasional live performances, creating a vibrant and picturesque atmosphere. It's a wonderful place to spend time with family while taking in the beautiful waterfront views. In the morning, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll and a cup of coffee while appreciating the peaceful scenery. Although I didn't visit them myself, there are also luxury brand stores right next to the hotel, making shopping very convenient if that's something you're interested in. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and responded to every request promptly and efficiently. I had a very comfortable stay and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Highly recommended.

The hotel was much cleaner than I expected. The bedding was clearly fresh, and all the disposable amenities were provided. We even got to watch the sunset from the window. Of course, the price was quite steep, comparable to a 3-star hotel. My main priority is always indoor hygiene, and noise comes in second. The entire building consists of private rooms, so there's no interference between them. Aside from the occasional chatter from other guests, it was generally quiet.

The room was incredibly spacious, and I had a very comfortable stay. The service was truly excellent. I highly recommend the breakfast; it's the best I've had at this price point. For anyone looking to explore the area, I definitely recommend this place!

Although very few people can speak English, the staff members made it so easy for me to know where to go for breakfast and helping me with everything I asked or needed. The hotel is situated in the most beautiful scenic area and has great facilities. There is even a Starbucks in the hotel. I met one of the managers named Eddie and he can speak English. He was kind and friendly and said that if I need any assistance I can ask the front desk to contact him and he will help me. The breakfast was delicious with so many different options to choose from. I would’ve stayed there for a week if I could. Amazing experience. Thank you to all the staff members, you made it so easy.

This hotel is arguably the closest to the Confucius Temple. It's just a two or three-minute walk to the Wall of Ten Thousand Ren (Wanren Gongqiang). I managed to catch the closing ceremony in the evening, followed by the light show at night, and then the opening ceremony the next morning. The courtyard environment is beautiful, with little rabbits and cats, and lots of flowers and plants. The room itself was very spacious. I booked a twin room but actually got a two-story loft, with traditional large wooden doors – it was a really unique experience. The service was warm and attentive. They offered snacks and a gift upon check-in, and brought yogurt in the evening. Breakfast was generous with a good variety. I also had lunch here; both the Qilin Yushu and the stir-fried pork were delicious. They even gave me a ruler as a souvenir when I checked out, which I carried all the way home!

Traveling with kids, we chose the Benarui Ting Hotel First Bathing Beach. The hotel's location is excellent; it's just a one or two-hundred-meter walk to the First Bathing Beach, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel, offering direct routes to all the attractions. Since we were staying with children, sand-digging tools were delivered directly to our room. From check-in to check-out, a staff member named Xiao Meng left a deep impression on me. Her service was professional, her attitude kind, and she was able to accommodate my requests. I'd definitely give her a thumbs-up. The housekeeping staff also did a very professional and thorough job with cleaning. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I visit Yantai in the future.

A truly healing and relaxing stay! The hotel environment is elegant and clean, and the rooms have excellent natural light. Every corner is meticulously maintained. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, always willing to help without being pushy. Both the soft and hard amenities are top-notch, and it's a wonderfully quiet place, perfect for unwinding. Staying here makes traveling so stress-free. Definitely worth five stars!

Here's my objective review of this stay. Pros: 1. Upon check-in, a staff member helped me with my luggage from the lobby. 2. My child lost a toy accessory in the room during our stay and we couldn't find it. When checking out, I asked the staff to look for it again when cleaning the room. In the afternoon, the hotel informed me that they had two teams search for it and finally found it. I'm very grateful, and they even helped arrange for it to be sent back to me with payment on delivery. 3. During one of the cleanings, they left two extra bottles of water and a note, indicating they noticed formula milk powder in the room and that more water might be needed for mixing it. 4. The male staff member in a black suit I met in the hallway and the female cleaner I met the next morning greeted me very politely. 5. During breakfast, a very tall manager and other service staff saw me with my young child and proactively offered to cook the noodles longer and even brought them to my table. When I mentioned that the yogurt was gone, they responded and refilled it very quickly. 6. The room has a great view, offering panoramic views of the beach and the pier. Cons: 1. There were no Little Prince children's amenities or daily yogurt, which I had read about in other reviews. 2. The non-smoking floor was a joke. There was always a smell of smoke in the hallway, and there was an ashtray full of cigarette butts on the windowsill in the hallway right in front of our room. After I moved it to the trash bin near the elevator, a few hours later, a plastic box full of cigarette butts had replaced it in the original spot. After I reported this to the hotel, their only response was that the guest across the hall was smoking in the corridor and they had aired it out, with no other action taken. 3. The provided baby bed rail couldn't be fixed securely and was ineffective. At our request and prompting, they brought ropes to tie it down (at the previous hotel we stayed at, the bed rail was already tied and secured before our arrival). 4. During the mid-stay cleaning, they didn't notice clothes dropped on the floor, and the duvet was just folded haphazardly. However, they did proactively drain the water from the bathtub. 5. The hotel room card could open a door leading to the beach, but we weren't informed about this. We only found out from a passerby.

I have stayed in many hotels, but this hotel is really cost-effective. You enjoy five-star trea**ent. After check-in, someone will bring your luggage to your room, and fruits will be prepared in the room. My good impression is instantly improved. In the end, What surprised me was that free late-night snacks were prepared in the evening. After staying in so many hotels, this was the first time I met someone who prepared late-night snacks. Nice! The disposable slippers in the hotel are also very nice. I regret not taking a pair back. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, which is very convenient for taking a bus to Baotu Spring. The hotel has free parking and the soundproofing of the hotel is also good. After staying for two nights, I moved to Zibo. I also stayed in Zibo for one night. In comparison, I was most satisfied with the one I stayed in Jinan. Highly recommended...I'm not asking for help, I really want to recommend this good hotel to everyone.

I originally booked three nights at another hotel, but after staying for a while I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I decided to cancel two nights and find another one! I booked this hotel at 3 o'clock in the morning. There was only one room left. I went directly the next day. It was much better than some chain hotels. It was a very thoughtful B&B hotel. You can park your car in the community. The small door leads to the seaside, which is very convenient. I booked this special large bed room on the first floor next to the stairs. The stairs are made of wood, so it must not be very quiet. I hope friends who read this comment can understand each other and go upstairs more gently. I will feel better about living here. The guests in the room are friendlier~ Compared with other villa layouts, this room looks like a converted garage, so the window is a narrow door in the courtyard wall, but the high courtyard wall is well protected against theft, and the glass is also double-mirror, which is relatively safe, and the curtains are very light-blocking. good. The facilities in the room are good and the toiletries are complete. The guys at the front desk are very attentive and gentle. Free coffee is always available at the front desk. So it was a pleasant stay. I will choose here again next time I go to Qingdao.
