Excellent value for money! The hot water was consistent and the Wi-Fi was fast. The lobby was clean and simply designed. The smart toilet, a Geberit, was as comfortable as the one at home. The mattress and bedding were top-notch! Definitely recommend. Yulia provided thoughtful and attentive service. A very satisfying experience, I'll recommend it to friends and family visiting Qingdao.

Hotel is great! Has a lot of water bottles. However if you’re travelling with someone you’re not familiar with, be vary of the bathroom situation. You’d grow very close to your travelling party. 😏 Location is great and pretty central to all attractions and easy to order DiDi!

剛在這家酒店住完，性價比真的太高了，必須給個好評！首先是位置特別方便，出門不遠就是石長者，周邊餐飲便利店也很多，吃喝出行都不用愁。其次是服務讓人感覺很舒服，從前台辦理入住時的笑臉相迎，到隨口問路時工作人員的耐心指引，都很暖心。房間雖然不大，但打掃得一塵不染，熱水和水壓都很足，床墊軟硬適中，住着挺安心的。 最重要的是價格真的實惠！這個地段、這種服務水準，能有這樣的價位確實難得。對於預算有限又想住得舒服的朋友來説，這裡是很好的選擇。下次來這邊還會考慮住這裏，也會推薦給朋友！

We had such a wonderful stay! The location is absolutely perfect—having the May 4th Square Metro station right outside the front door made getting around so easy. It’s also great value for the price. Everyone on the staff was so kind, but a special shoutout goes to the housekeeping team. They were so attentive and even left us a sweet little note in our room, which was such a lovely touch! We’re already looking forward to staying here again on our next trip to Qingdao.

I would like to give a round of applause to this great hotel located next to airport as it showed good convenience for anyone who wishes to transit or stay for a vacation at Qingdao, China. Also, i would like to give a warm thank you to the receptionist at the time when I arrived at the hotel. Her name is “Even”, and she was ever so polite, kind and always smiling which made feel so welcome. She made my experience at the hotel very satisfying as she was very informative about the facilities and services the hotel had to offer its guests. I believe that wonderful staff deserves every credit for treating me like one of China’s own people. P.S. thank you so much Grand Barony Hotel for taking good care of me during my stay!

Definitely not a 5 star hotel they claim to be on Trip.com. The first room we were checked-in had a broken window that couldn’t be opened and the reception didn’t know about it, although the window was closed with a tape and they should have known that this room had a problem. There were not many guests in the hotel and plenty of rooms to be offered. In the next room we found out that the show was out of hot water. The problem was with the central supply system and instead of repairing it themselves, the hotel engineer was coming to our room claiming that we should discharge water for 5-10 minutes before hot water starts coming out. This kept going for almost an hour, we were tired and wanted to sleep because it was late evening. The problem didn’t require our assistance because the problem was with the whole hot water supply system, not with our exact room. Also, they brought us a small heater to the room which I was surprised about, but then I understood that it was because the air-conditioner which had a heater mode, didn’t work well. I doubt that the hotel would have enough heaters for all rooms in case they had more guests. Without the heater it was quite cold in the room. Next morning the house keeper came at 9-30 am!!!Which is insane. We were sleeping. I’ve never encountered a hotel at which the house keeper came that early and disturbed the guests. Finally when leaving the hotel, we wanted to take those one-time use sleepers with us to use during the flight and found out to our surprise, that for 4 days we were living in the hotel sleepers were not changed even once. I called the reception, it was early morning (like 6-30 am) and they told me that the house keeper will bring us the sleepers when she comes to work. I told that we were leaving already and the reception promised to bring the sleepers asap. 10 minutes later nobody came and we went to check-out. At the check-out I asked for the sleepers again and told the receptionist that the taxi has almost arrived, so that she could bring us the sleepers first and then proceed with the check-out. She didn’t listen to me, still first processed the check-out and only after it went for the sleepers. So it basically took me half an hour and my nerves to get the sleepers that were supposed to be in my room from the very beginning. The general manager talked to us after the case with the hot water and the house keeper coming early in the morning. He was very polite, but this doesn’t eliminate the fact that basic services in this hotel leave much to be desired. On the plus side, very comfortable beds and clean spacious room.

My kids and I spent a week in Qingdao and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It turned out to be a lovely getaway. The room was clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and offered a stunning ocean view—plus, we were treated to fireworks every evening right from our window, which was a magical touch. Breakfast was available every morning with a good range of options; we appreciated the variety. Room service was a hit with the kids—they couldn’t get enough of the spaghetti bolognaise and popcorn chicken! I personally enjoyed the club sandwich and the beef noodles. We devoted an entire day to the water park, where the kids had an absolute blast. Although some parts of it could use renovation, it didn’t dampen our fun. One of our favorite activities was cruising around the resort on four-wheel e-bikes—it felt like a private adventure since much of the area was quiet and fairly abandoned, but that added a special charm. The beach is also just across the road, so you can go play in the sand at any time, there are also some men who offer horse and jet ski rides right on the beach. The beach also isn’t too crowded. The only drawback was the resort’s location. It’s quite far from most of Qingdao’s main attractions, so every excursion required at least an hour-long Didi ride. Still, the experience was well worth it, and we genuinely enjoyed our stay. We’d absolutely return again.

For the first few days of my stay in Qingdao, I booked the compact single room. This time, for two days, I tried the double-bed room with a table and a large window, and it is really excellent for the price. The room is extremely clean and has all the basic amenities such as a shower, dental kit, and towels. One small difference is that instead of traditional cloth towels, they provide disposable paper-fiber towels. The room is also much more spacious than the single room, even though the price increase is very small. I paid about 55 RMB for the smaller room, while this room cost around 63–64 RMB, but the size is almost double. The room has a very large window facing the road in front of the hotel. I expected it to be noisy, but surprisingly it was not. There are many power outlets and switchboards, which makes it convenient for charging phones or laptops. The room also has a large TV, along with a table and chair where you can comfortably sit and work. The staff, as I mentioned earlier, are extremely friendly. By the end of my stay, they almost felt like friends. If you order food or buy items from e-commerce platforms like Jingdong or Taobao, the staff will collect the packages and store them safely on the first floor. Sometimes the delivery person will even bring the order directly to your room. I stayed on the fourth floor, and the room was very well maintained and spotless. It also includes a hairdryer and hangers. The room I booked had two beds, so if you are traveling with a colleague for business, this is a great option. The location is not extremely central, but it is still convenient. The nearest subway station is about a 10–15 minute walk, which was not a problem for me. There are also several convenience stores nearby where you can quickly buy snacks or basic items. Overall, the room is very well maintained, extremely clean, and free of dust. If you are visiting this part of the city, this hotel is definitely a good option to consider. ⸻ 我在青岛住宿的前几天订的是紧凑型单人房。这一次我住了两天，订的是带桌子的双床房，并且有一个很大的窗户。以这个价格来说，这个房间真的非常不错。 房间非常干净，而且配备了基本的设施，比如淋浴、牙具和毛巾。需要说明的一点是，他们提供的不是传统的布毛巾，而是一次性的纸纤维毛巾。相比之前的小单人房，这个房间的空间要大得多，而价格只稍微贵一点。之前的小房间大约是55元人民币，而这个房间大约是63到64元人民币，但房间的面积几乎是之前的两倍。 房间有一个很大的窗户，面向酒店前面的马路。我原本以为会比较吵，但实际上并没有想象中那么吵。房间里有很多插座和开关，给手机或笔记本电脑充电都很方便。房间里还有一台很大的电视，以及一张桌子和椅子，可以坐下来工作。 正如我之前提到的，酒店的工作人员非常友好。到我离开的时候，我们几乎已经像朋友一样。如果你点外卖或者从京东、淘宝等电商平台购买东西，工作人员会帮你收包裹，并把它们安全地放在一楼。有时候外卖员也会直接把东西送到你的房间。 我住在四楼，房间维护得很好，非常干净，没有灰尘。房间里还配有吹风机和衣架。我订的这个房间是双床房，如果是两个人出差一起住，这是一个非常不错的选择。 酒店的位置不算特别中心，但也算方便。最近的地铁站大约需要步行10到15分钟，对我来说完全不是问题。附近也有一些便利店，可以很方便地买一些吃的或日常用品。 总体来说，这个房间维护得很好，非常干净。如果你来到这个城市的这个区域，这家酒店是一个非常值得考虑的选择。

We had an apartment on the 3rd floor. There was some dirt left in the bathroom, the drain was partly clogged by hairs which you dont immediately see, because it is under a cover. Inside the apartment there are stairs leading to a second level but upstairs there is nothing except for an additional bed and no windows. Its a little unhandy that you need to go to the 9th floor of the neighbouring building to check in. The view from the main apartment is pretty nice, one can see the sea from the bed! Location is also nice, close to the seafront.
