Crystal Hotel Qingdao HK Middle Road

I was exhausted from my trip, but luckily I chose this hotel. Yuanyuan was kind and polite. The room was spotless, even in the corners, and the facilities were well-maintained with a complete set of toiletries. Free luggage storage was very convenient. It was quiet and peaceful, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. I highly recommend it to fellow travelers.

The cleanliness could be improved, but the male front desk staff were very nice and helpful, and they resolved the hygiene issue. I'll definitely choose Crystal again next time. The hotel breakfast was just okay, but overall it was still a good stay.

This hotel exceeded my expectations! It's very new and in great condition, with a really well-thought-out and convenient design. The family room's bathroom was huge, making our stay very comfortable. The service was also excellent, and the breakfast was delicious.

Conclusion: This will be my go-to hotel for future visits. 1. I brought my mom along, and we booked a twin room. The room was very comfortable. 2. The hotel is close to May Fourth Square, and it's a short taxi ride to all the scenic spots. Ride-sharing apps are quick to respond. The road in front of the hotel is a bit narrow and one-way, so occasionally, drivers hesitate to come in. You can insist they do, as there's space to turn around right at the hotel entrance. 3. The hotel lobby is on the second floor (there's staff on the ground floor to guide you to the exclusive elevator). The staff on both floors were patient and thoughtful. If you order takeout, a robot can deliver it. 4. The breakfast was plentiful and tasted good. 5. The laundry service was excellent. If you're not in a hurry, staff can help with drying (if you're in a rush, you'll need to stay and manage the dryer yourself). 6. The hotel doesn't provide body lotion, so remember to bring your own.

The breakfast selection was quite good, and the environment was pleasant. However, the cleanliness needs improvement, especially the bedding which wasn't as tidy as it should be. The surrounding area was decent. Overall, it was an okay stay.

The room was spotless and very comfortable. The service was excellent and very welcoming. Parking was also convenient. The breakfast had a great variety and was delicious. I highly recommend this place. It's also very close to tourist attractions, and the nearby subway makes getting around very easy.

Excellent location, right next to the metro station. The stay was very comfortable, and the facilities are brand new. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The free laundry service was a great convenience, and the breakfast spread was quite good.

The front desk asked for my phone number during check-in, even though my contact info is already available through Ctrip or Huazhu. They're clearly trying to bypass the platforms to solicit good reviews after check-out under the guise of a follow-up call. If they need something, they should ask me directly at check-out (I consider this harassment). Food delivery is incredibly slow, and they even write the room number and my name clearly on the receipt with a marker (I'm not sure if it's the delivery driver or the front desk, but isn't this a privacy issue?). Since the hotel front desk is on the second floor, you have to wait for the elevator to go up to the second floor, check in, and then wait for the elevator again to go up to your room. The same goes for check-out. (The hotel shares the ground floor elevator lobby with other offices in the building.) During morning and evening rush hours, office workers from the building constantly go in and out of the hotel entrance, making it feel chaotic with no privacy whatsoever. The two keycard access panels in the elevator were confusing for a first-timer, and it took a while to figure out how to use them. Overall, because the hotel isn't a standalone building, the lobby is constantly bustling with all sorts of people, making it feel messy. The room itself is fine, but if privacy and efficiency are important to you, you might want to reconsider. Also, at the restaurant, staff only ask for your room number at the entrance. Inside, I didn't see anyone checking the food stations, and many items were empty. The corn was all dried out. If anything I've written is incorrect, please feel free to contact me to have it removed.
