RYM properties in Dalian

After looking at many hotels, I finally settled on Riyueming. The price and environment are both great, and it includes breakfast. I stayed for two consecutive days, and the breakfast menu changed daily and was delicious. Drinks and bottled water are complimentary, and the service attitude is also very good. Since it's the off-season, there weren't many people. I'll definitely go back next time.

The location is super convenient! It's just a 7-8 minute walk to Zhongshan Square, and only 10 minutes on foot to the train station. There's a big shopping street nearby, plenty of bus routes, and the subway entrance is just a five-minute walk away. The room was really warm, I didn't even need the AC or a blanket. The bathroom was great too, with plenty of hot water. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and even helped me with my luggage. I'm very satisfied!

Unfortunately, this hotel turned out to be the worst of my entire two-week trip around China. The staff was friendly, but they didn't speak any English. Overall, the hotel didn't seem particularly foreign-friendly. Simple requests like a fruit bowl or an adapter to charge phone baffled them. When I checked in, I found a clump of long black hair on the bathroom floor. I had to ask them to wash the floors again. The hotel didn't offer any apologies or compliments for this situation. Breakfasts were the most disappointing part. This hotel was the only place in China where I had a bad meal😭 The noodles and even the stewed cabbage were swimming in oil, everything was overly vinegary and garlicky, and there were no fruits, vegetables, or desserts. I ate there only twice in five days, and both times I suffered from severe heartburn. The positive moments are an ideal location and comfortable beds and pillows. I slept well there, even though the room's windows overlooked the highway and not the park as stated when booking.

Riyueming Boutique Hotel broke my stereotype of traditional business hotels. The price-performance ratio starting from 288 yuan is a pleasant surprise among similar hotels. Whether it is a family trip, a business trip, or a solo traveler pursuing quality, this place can meet diverse needs. When I checked out, I received a gift box of Dalian cherries. This thoughtfulness made me decide immediately - next time I come to Dalian, Riyueming will still be my first choice!
