Qingdao Hongchuan Hotel

I think the location of this affordable hotel is excellent, the seashore is close (with the beaches), the metro station and the skyscrapers are nearby, the market is just there to buy food including vegetables and fruits. I read reviews that claim it's in a bad neighborhood. Not at all. What I saw is that the first building of the street is half abandoned nobody cleans that part of the street and that gives a bad impression. But you can just walk on the other side of the road. This is the first time that I had a room, not only a bed. I booked a room without a window but the receptionist lady gave me a single room with window. The room is normal (see photos), there was a mosquito net on the window. The pillow was hard but it was good to my spine. The toilet / bathroom was a mixture of a modern toilet and a traditional toilet you can clean up yourself using shower or little bowl. There was cleaning everyday. There was a kettle to boil water. I got a very big thermos bottle 2L to store the hot water. It's easy to find the hotel because there's street number too and many photos show the hotel in reviews. If the hotel is full the toilet / bathroom can be occupied but there's a park with large plastic flowers on the way to the sea where there's a new large toilet (see photo). You can use that too.
