Top Shinan District Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Qingdao City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived early and was able to check in quickly in the morning. It was very convenient being close to the subway station. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. While English communication wasn't completely fluent, communication was totally fine and the room was spacious, making for a comfortable stay!"

qingdaowanxianghuayuan

8/10 Good

"This worked for the 1 night I needed. Well-appointed studio flat (with a washing machine and laundry liquid). Staff were really helpful; despite no English, they worked out a translation for me. The room was well equipped, but also showed signs of age, with some peeling floor and damaged units. The floor would have benefited from a better sweep-through, but the bed was clean and comfy! Conveniently located next to the 4th May subway stop on line 3, and a 10-minute walk to the waterfront. Would stay here again, but maybe not choose the most basic room! Note: check-in is on the 10th floor."

Crowne Plaza Hotel Qingdao by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located very conveniently near the Qingdao metro station Yan'er Dao Lu. It's an older style but I always find it really comfortable. It's also close to where I can meet with friends to go for cheap breakfasts, lunches etc. My room on the 35th floor was really spacious and the cleaning staff were great. My pen happened to run out of ink while I was writing my diary and the cleaner gave me hers. Front desk staff were also helpful and I will certainly come back when I am next in Qingdao, which will be soon I hope."
