Spa Hotels in Qingdao

The Mandarin Hotel is located on Starlight Island in the West Coast New Area, surrounded by the sea and boasting stunning island scenery. As soon as you arrive, you can feel a sense of tranquility, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The sea breeze creates a wonderful vacation vibe. However, there was an entertainment event on the island that day, so it was incredibly crowded. Stepping into the hotel lobby, the elegant and grand design perfectly blends with marine elements. The glass dome and crystal chandeliers complement each other beautifully. What impressed me most was the self-playing piano in the lobby; its melodious tunes flowed under the dome, adding an artistic touch to the entire space and instantly washing away any travel fatigue. My business twin room was spacious, clean, and tidy. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking panoramic sea views. Drawing back the curtains in the morning, I was greeted by the magnificent sight of the sunrise over the ocean. The room was well-equipped, the bedding was comfortable, and every detail showcased quality. The hotel's amenities are excellent. The complimentary indoor pool has clear, well-maintained water and is a good size. It's very well-regulated; you need a swimming cap to use it, and there's also a sauna and hot spring. The gym is fully equipped, and in addition to exercise machines, there's a table tennis room and an aerobics room. The hotel garden is charming, with European-style stone carvings adding a unique flair. Just outside, there's a seaside boardwalk, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze. Parking and EV charging were very convenient, and the staff provided attentive and thoughtful service, making my entire stay, from check-in to check-out, feel incredibly welcoming.

This is by far the best hotel in Jimo. It's incredibly convenient whether you're heading out of town for a meal or exploring the ancient city. The service is exceptional, and they even offer traditional handicraft activities. The hotel's decor is super instagrammable – perfect for ancient-style photos without looking out of place. The breakfast is high-quality with a rich variety, plus they have special local delicacies. Overall, it's a perfect score!

Overall, I'm quite disappointed. I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel for families with young children. Let's start with the positives, which go to the housekeeping staff. They provided plenty of water. I don't like the light from alarm clocks, and the attendant noticed I'd turned mine slightly away, understood I disliked the light, and even flipped it over for me. Very thoughtful service! Now for the many negatives! First, the front desk staff. I had purchased a voucher for two rooms for two nights, and I made this clear at check-in. However, on the third day, they still called me around noon asking if I was extending my stay, which disrupted my rest. Later, our room cards stopped working, leaving three adults and two children stranded on another floor. Extremely frustrating! The correct procedure would have been for them to check my reservation before calling, realize I had another booking, and then have an attendant deliver new cards to my room. Thumbs down! No breakfast in the executive lounge – thumbs down! If the executive lounge doesn't offer breakfast, then there should at least be a dedicated dining area in the main restaurant for executive room guests, offering priority seating. I booked an executive room precisely because I wanted to avoid crowded breakfasts and long queues. If I had known they couldn't provide this service, I would have chosen a different hotel or not booked an executive room, as there's a premium price attached, right? The hotel's family facilities – thumbs down! There are absolutely no family facilities, no kids' playground, and no kids' club activities. Nothing for toddlers to do. The beach – thumbs down! If you're coming specifically for the beach, don't bother. The hotel's so-called private beach is surrounded by two drainage outlets. When it rained, we could see dark, murky water being discharged directly into it. I wouldn't dare let my children play there. So, you'd have to walk quite a distance anyway, making staying here completely unnecessary. The rooms are very small. There are no connecting rooms, and even rooms of the same type aren't adjacent (according to the hotel staff themselves). The two rooms they assigned us had several other rooms in between, which was very inconvenient.

I absolutely loved the ambiance of this hotel! The greenery in the hotel courtyard is beautiful, with flowers and trees everywhere. It looks incredibly pleasant and clean, and the air is fresh too. Taking a stroll in the courtyard is just so relaxing – the environment is clearly meticulously maintained! Every staff member was polite, enthusiastic, and discreet, and the rooms were cleaned so well that my stay was incredibly comfortable!

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location. It is situated within the Olympic Sailing Center, one of the best places to enjoy Qingdao’s most beautiful night views. In fact, this is the very spot where people come to admire the famous night scenery of May Fourth Square. When traveling with children, one of the biggest concerns is figuring out what to do in the morning or evening that everyone can enjoy comfortably. Staying at this hotel solves that problem immediately. Along the marina, where yachts are docked, you'll find small snack stands, people enjoying leisurely walks, and occasional live performances, creating a vibrant and picturesque atmosphere. It's a wonderful place to spend time with family while taking in the beautiful waterfront views. In the morning, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll and a cup of coffee while appreciating the peaceful scenery. Although I didn't visit them myself, there are also luxury brand stores right next to the hotel, making shopping very convenient if that's something you're interested in. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and responded to every request promptly and efficiently. I had a very comfortable stay and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Highly recommended.

The Westin Qingdao has an excellent location, very close to May Fourth Square and the commercial district, making it super convenient for getting around, sightseeing, shopping, and finding places to eat. Staying on the Executive Floor offered outstanding views; I could take in the stunning sea views right from my window. The Executive Lounge experience was superb, with a wide variety of food. The staff were attentive and responsive, providing meticulous service throughout my stay. It was a comfortable and pleasant stay, perfect for a trip to Qingdao.

Hardware: The room facilities meet five-star standards, with two sinks for guests to have their own independent space. Hygiene: The room is relatively clean. The only downside is that after running water in the bathtub, there was a musty smell coming from underneath it. Service: The front desk staff were all very understanding and considerate. They helped us extend our stay, recognizing that the elderly traveler was tired from their journey. Transportation: If you're catching a flight the next day, this hotel is perfectly suited. There's a direct通道 connecting to the airport right next to the breakfast area, and it's about a ten-minute walk.

The room was spotless, with no musty smell, and the air conditioning and hot water were consistently available all day. Katia from guest relations was friendly and allowed us to store our luggage for free. The hallway was quiet, so we had an undisturbed night's rest. Downstairs, there were plenty of restaurants and convenience stores, and transportation was convenient. Although the facilities were simple, they were well-maintained. For the same price, the quality truly stood out. It's a very cost-effective option for a short transitional stay.

Check in and check out was easy. Staff were helpful and found ways around the language barrier. I was in town for the half marathon so only had a light breakfast but there was plenty to eat. There was a slight smell of stale cigarette but it was not so much that it impacted on the stay. The room met my needs and was very comfortable. There is a great park to walk or run around very close. A taxi is necessary to get to town or find a wider range of food options. I ate at the mirage which was a hot pot restaurant and this was a pleasant experience.

Hygiene: The condition is worrying. There are hairs on the sink. One towel is hard and the other is soft (those who have stayed in hotels know what's going on). The water on the floor of the shower room is not dry. Are they really not afraid of customers slipping? Service: The service quality of the front desk is really good. Whether it's towels or water, they can be solved in time. But the next day, when I didn't check out, the cleaning lady came to knock on the door? What does it mean? Are you chasing people away? I won't come again
