Le Meridien Qingdao West Coast

Direct ocean views and an amazing scenery. Sitting at the viewing deck facing the sea for an afternoon break made us forget all our worries. We arrived a bit late, but thank you to the front desk for saving us some afternoon tea—my son loved it!

Upholding Le Méridien's professional standards, the hotel is grand and highly photogenic. The service is meticulous, breakfast is abundant, and the staff are very professional. Despite its age, it hasn't lost any of its quality. This is my second stay at Le Méridien. The beach is right outside, and next to it is the Mangrove Tree Resort World. It's super photogenic, photogenic, photogenic, and convenient for kids too!

This was my third stay at Le Méridien, and even though the facilities are a bit dated, the service is consistently excellent. The beach is very close by and not crowded, which is perfect for young children. P.S. Front Office Manager Cindy was friendly and efficient, and thoughtfully arranged a room type change for us the next day. A special thanks to the Chinese restaurant – we ate there five times in three days with our young child, and all the staff were so kind and went out of their way to look after the little one. On the day we checked out, the restaurant manageress even prepared a small gift for the child. Our child was so happy and is already looking forward to coming back!

Facing the sea~ Great environment, fresh air, and clean. There's a market nearby where you can buy fresh seafood and have it cooked on the spot. It's delicious and affordable. Excellent location. Service: Warm, attentive, and proactive. Overall, a very good experience~

Facing the sea, my mood was delightful, making for a truly relaxing and happy trip. The hotel facilities were comprehensive, and the experience was excellent. Chloe at the front desk was incredibly patient and efficient. This is my third time in Qingdao, and it was by far the most comfortable stay.

This has to be the worst hygiene I've ever experienced in a five-star hotel. An old hotel from 10 years ago can be dated, but it shouldn't be dirty! The carpet was unbelievably filthy. When I turned on the spotlights, the room was filled with dust. The lamps were covered in a thick layer of dust, as if they'd never been wiped. Even the pillows were dirty. In the bathroom, there was a pimple patch stuck to the wall from the previous guest. The hand soap dispenser was empty. I went to the concierge twice to borrow sand toys; the first time they said they were all out, and the second time, there was nobody there to assist me. Breakfast was chaotic. Tables were piled high with leftover food from previous guests, and I waited 15 minutes for someone to clear it. The noodles were still cooking in the pot, but the spoon for the sauce had already been taken away. In the end, I had no choice but to reach into the pot with a bowl to get some. No service, no experience. Don't come here!!!

The hotel is great, with both indoor and outdoor pools. You can access the beach directly from the lobby, and the beach behind the hotel is uncrowded and very clean, making it perfect for families with children.

The room was comfortable, the staff were warm and attentive, the dining options were abundant, and the cleanliness was impeccable. Chloe, in particular, provided exceptional and thoughtful service. My husband and I had a very pleasant 50th wedding anniversary here.

1. There are serious food safety concerns with the breakfast buffet: the fried chicken was undercooked, and flies were present in the breakfast area for two consecutive days, landing directly on the food. 2. Room cleaning was subpar and did not meet the five-star Le Méridien service standard. 3. We reported the cloudy pool water, and staff promised to rectify it by changing the water the next day. However, this was not done. They then passively handled the situation by claiming a 'complete pool water change takes three days,' even though cloudy pool water doesn't require emptying the entire pool and can be improved through circulation filtering and partial water changes. 4. The hotel has two separate independent circulation pools, one indoor and one outdoor. They could only provide a water quality report for the indoor pool from July 6th. This report is outdated and doesn't prove the water quality on our check-in date. Despite multiple requests for a third-party water quality report for the outdoor pool, the hotel consistently failed to provide one. 5. According to hygiene regulations, pools need regular self-testing of water quality with records maintained. We repeatedly asked for self-inspection records for both indoor and outdoor pools for our check-in date, but the hotel was unable to produce them for a long time, indicating non-compliant operations. 6. Our child was healthy before checking in but experienced multiple hygiene issues during our stay and has now developed diarrhea. While we cannot directly determine the cause of illness, the hotel's numerous hygiene shortcomings objectively posed health risks and severely impacted our stay.
