Shanshui S Hotel (Zhongshan Square, Dalian Railway Station)

Our home for three days and two nights in Dalian! This is a top-notch hotel in the Qingniwa business district with an excellent location. It's super convenient to get around with metro and bus stops nearby, connecting easily to most of Dalian's attractions. It's close to Zhongshan Square, and you can take a direct bus to the beach. Being right next to Dalian Station makes it a fantastic choice. The hotel service was also superb; they readily accommodated our requests and even thoughtfully prepared millet porridge for us in the evening. Our Dalian trip experience was wonderful! 👍

Got woken up at 8 AM to move my car. Just as I'd drifted back to sleep, a staff member walked right into my room without knocking. The management here is seriously lacking. As for cleanliness, it's just okay, nothing special, which is understandable for a hotel built in 2018; the facilities are pretty standard. Also, their automatic curtains seem to have a mind of their own – they opened by themselves when I went out to move the car. My family got woken up by that too. We only ended up here because another hotel our friends were staying at was fully booked. Our friends' room was half the price of ours and had full smart home features. My room was spacious, but the TV was tiny, and the remote was right next to it, so no voice control. What era is this? Seriously, no comparison, no harm! Overall, my experience was very average.

The room was clean and instantly impressive the moment we walked in, with the blue color scheme being a big hit with the kids. The mattress and pillows were also very comfortable. What really stood out was the service, especially the front desk staff, employee number 229. She was so understanding, gentle, and enthusiastic—absolutely fantastic! I regret not taking any photos of the hotel. There are many Japanese restaurants downstairs, so if you love Japanese food, you can definitely come here with confidence. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay!

Facilities: Excellent, with a separate mini-fridge and washing machine. Hygiene: The room was cleaned thoroughly every day. However, the soundproofing in the room isn't great, especially sounds from the hallway are quite clear. I wonder if there's a way to improve this.

The hotel is well-equipped and looks very grand. The lobby is clean and tidy, and all the amenities are comprehensive. It offers good value for money. If you need anything, the front desk staff are always responsive and efficient. The hotel's location is also very convenient for getting around!

When I first entered the room, there was a strong smell. The air conditioning worked very well, but the downside was that it blew directly onto the bed. It was too hot to sleep at night with the AC off, but uncomfortable with it on due to the direct blast. This led to me frequently getting up to turn the AC on and off throughout the night, resulting in a poor sleep.

The front desk service was excellent, and they even upgraded my room for free. The environment and hygiene were also great. I was very satisfied with my stay.

The room was quiet and the location was excellent, highly recommended! It had great natural light, an expansive view, and all the facilities were complete and well-maintained, almost brand new. The cleaning staff did an impeccable job, even the corners were spotless. The hotel staff were friendly and efficient. The value for money is outstanding, I strongly recommend it to everyone!
