I had originally booked a standard double room and hadn't paid much attention to the ceiling height. Upon arrival, I realized it was probably less than two meters. As soon as we entered, there was a faint smell of smoke, and the whole room felt incredibly oppressive. My friend and I decided to upgrade to a slightly taller room, paying an extra 50-odd yuan. We switched to a room with a window, but this 'loft-style' room required us to carry our own luggage up a flight of stairs. My friend and I, both women, were utterly exhausted just finding the room and then hauling our bags up.
We didn't mind if the window was just for light, but it actually faced a wall and looked directly into another room's bed – incredibly off-putting and even more suffocating than the first room. Covered in sweat, I decided to wash my hair, but the showerhead suddenly burst, and the nozzle flew off. I awkwardly tried to reattach it myself, but the screw threads wouldn't align. After managing to put it back on, it flew off again as soon as I turned on the water. I had to call the front desk for help. We waited a long time, but no one came to fix it, delaying our dinner plans. We had to call again before someone finally showed up. By then, I was completely drained, both physically and mentally. To make things worse, the bathroom had no shelves for dry towels or toiletries, making it yet another difficult showering experience. I was utterly worn out.
I had originally booked for three nights, but I was so incredibly frustrated that I immediately canceled the remaining two nights and booked a room at the hotel next door. It's low season now, yet for over 200 yuan a night, this hotel offered no bathroom slippers, had a broken shower, and provided incredibly slow service. While Qingdao's scenery is beautiful, I will absolutely never stay at this hotel again.
