Hotels in May Fourth Square/Olympic Sailing Center, Qingdao

This 168-square-meter apartment with 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 3 bathrooms, and 1 kitchen easily accommodates 5 people. The sea view from the room is unbeatable, and the location is prime, within a 15-minute walk to MIXC Mall or May Fourth Square. That's probably why the price is a bit high. The hotel is quite old, so the facilities are a bit dated. If you're not overly particular about modern amenities, it's still highly recommended.

This trip with my parents was planned to avoid the summer peak, hoping they would have a comfortable, convenient, and pleasant experience. I chose The St. Regis for their service philosophy, and despite some negative reviews on Xiaohongshu that made me nervous, this stay completely exceeded my expectations! I must express my sincere gratitude to our butler, Talia, for her attentive care. **Location:** The St. Regis boasts prime sea views, so the scenery is, naturally, unparalleled. In the Olympic Sailing Center room type, you can watch the sunrise from your room in the morning and admire the lights at night. A short walk across the road leads to the beach, and it's within walking distance of the Third Bathing Beach, Taipingjiao Park, and Badaguan Scenic Area. The surrounding area is also bustling with commercial centers; MixC, Haitian Mall, and Hisense Plaza are all nearby. Behind the hotel, there's a residential area with many restaurants along Yan'an 3rd Road, offering plenty of dining options. The transportation is convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. **Environment and Facilities:** The hotel's public areas are very clean, though I wasn't particularly fond of the scent. Our room was also very clean; in the room I stayed in, the carpets, sofa, and other fabric surfaces were spotless, and the bathroom hygiene was up to standard. The room wasn't damp and had no strange odors. The air conditioning worked well and was very quiet, plus the TV allowed screen mirroring! The bedding was comfortable, and the pillow exchange was also excellent. **Breakfast:** We had breakfast at the hotel for three consecutive days. The overall taste was good, and there was a decent variety, with many Chinese dishes made fresh. Although the overall selection didn't change much over the three days, some dishes were rotated. We had breakfast between 7:00 and 8:30 AM each day, and the crowd was manageable, not overly crowded. The 'dried bread' at breakfast, paired with cream cheese and butter, was surprisingly delicious, haha. **Service:** First, the hotel contacted me two days in advance to add the butler, Talia, on WeChat. Talia was incredibly meticulous, staying in touch with me from before check-in to discuss room details. After we checked in, she proactively contacted us daily to ask about our needs during our stay, such as whether we were satisfied with the room, if we wanted a bubble bath, or if we needed any drinks. These small touches of care made us feel very warm and looked after. Overall, I would still recommend The St. Regis, and I would choose it again if I visit Qingdao in the future.

The Yihai Garden Hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to May Fourth Square, making it super convenient for getting around and sightseeing. The city view room with its floor-to-ceiling windows offers fantastic views. The king-size bed is spacious and comfortable, and the room itself is clean with complete facilities. The staff provides attentive service, making our family trip very comfortable. Highly recommended!

The room was clean and tidy, and the sea view was unbeatable. As soon as we got out of the car, staff members were there to help with our luggage and take it to the lobby. Check-in was very fast, and the breakfast was incredibly rich. We received welcome fruits and Laoshan tea. All the staff were very warm, professional, and made us feel very pleasant. I wanted to book for three consecutive nights, but the first night was unavailable, so I booked one night at the Litian Hotel. To be honest, I felt that the Fuxin Mansion was more comfortable. The breakfast was also better than at Litian. Litian's service was a bit warmer than Fuxin Mansion, but I don't think anything else was better than Fuxin Mansion. For families with children, I highly recommend Fuxin Mansion; the food is good, it's quiet, and it's right across from May Fourth Square.

Our stay at Qingdao Haitian Hotel was a fantastic experience! The hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and getting around. Being so close to the beach was a huge plus, especially for taking our child to play in the sand. What truly stood out was the service. Hotel Manager and Butler Golden were incredibly warm and thoughtful in their hospitality. They responded to our messages promptly and had such a humble attitude. Any requests we had were handled immediately, making us feel right at home. Fresh fruit was delivered to our room daily – the attention to detail was impeccable. Overall, our stay was wonderful. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we visit Qingdao next time. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay! The room was new and spacious, and the location was super convenient. The ocean view from our room was fantastic. Customer service was very responsive; they even replied to our WeChat messages instantly in the middle of the night. The swimming pool was clean, and the changing rooms were really roomy.

The housekeeping staff are very polite; they greet me with a warm smile and a 'good morning' every day, making me feel right at home. The breakfast is rich with a wide variety of delicious food, and the environment is clean and hygienic. I really like the hotel's swimming pool; the environment is very clean. The location is also excellent, with a convenience store right at the entrance, and it's very convenient to go nearby for seafood. The hotel rooms are a bit dated, but the cleanliness is good. I would definitely visit again. I am an IHG member; it would be great if the room could be upgraded. Other places usually offer upgrades, and I've stayed at IHG hotels many times now.

Choosing this hotel for my Qingdao trip was absolutely the right decision – the experience far exceeded my expectations! The location is fantastic; it's just a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and not far from the Badaguan Scenic Area. Finding places to eat and getting a taxi nearby was very convenient. The room was spotlessly clean and bright, with no strange odors. The bedding was incredibly soft and comfy, perfect for unwinding after a long day, and the soundproofing at night was excellent, ensuring a peaceful sleep. The front desk staff were very friendly, check-in was quick, and they even proactively offered suggestions for sightseeing routes. While the breakfast selection wasn't huge, everything tasted great, making for a pleasant meal. Overall, it offers excellent value for money, with thoughtful touches everywhere. I had a really comfortable stay. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Qingdao; I truly recommend it!

The butler service was excellent, always ready to answer any questions. Our room on the 10th floor offered great sea views of the Olympic Sailing Center. There's a convenience store downstairs, and it's just a 5-6 minute walk to May Fourth Square, making it an ideal place to stay for the evening light show. It's also very close to Fushan Subway Station.

My experience at the Shangri-La Hotel was excellent. Both the service and cleanliness were top-notch. A special thank you to our butler, Nina, for her exceptional service! We had booked a Horizon Club room, but upon arrival, we were initially directed to the Qingxiang Pavilion. Nina proactively added us on WeChat and personally escorted us to the Horizon Club for check-in. Learning that we were traveling by car, she took the initiative to register our license plate, telling us to relax in our room first and informing us that parking would be free during our stay. This made entering and exiting the parking garage very convenient, saving us a lot of hassle. During our stay, Nina would ask for our preferred time daily to deliver fresh fruit to our room. She also thoughtfully provided special Qingdao local beverages, which I absolutely loved. This really allowed us to experience the rich local culture of Qingdao, greatly enhancing our trip. When the hotel conducted a voltage check, Nina promptly messaged us to remind us and assured us there was nothing to worry about, showing incredible foresight. When we checked out, we had a lot of luggage. After I explained the situation to Nina, she immediately arranged for a bellhop to help us bring our bags downstairs. She anticipated every need throughout our stay, making the entire check-in process incredibly smooth. The service was warm and attentive. I truly love the Shangri-La Hotel in Qingdao; it's a benchmark in the industry!
