Find 3-Star Hotels in Qingdao

My stay at the Qingdao North Railway Station Shengping Road Light Inn was fantastic! The hotel's location is super convenient, very close to Qingdao North Railway Station, making travel a breeze. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and attentive; both check-in and check-out were handled very efficiently. The room was clean and tidy, with complete amenities. The bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good, so I got a great night's sleep. The hotel environment was cozy, and the cleanliness was exceptional, making for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. The breakfast selection was varied and tasty, offering great value for money overall. I highly recommend this hotel for both business trips and leisure travel. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Qingdao. Five-star rating!

The hotel is very new and clean. Not only does it provide a free room upgrade, it also comes with a fruit plate. Not bad, I will stay again next time

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The location is perfect—within walking distance to Taidong Metro Station, Taidong Snack Street, Beer Street, and the Tsingtao Beer Museum. It made exploring Qingdao incredibly convenient. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. We had several parcels delivered from Taobao and Pinduoduo before our arrival, and the hotel carefully received, stored, and handed them over to us without any issues. They also answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to help solve any problems we encountered during our trip. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The bedding was cozy, and all the facilities and amenities were in excellent condition, making it easy to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast exceeded our expectations with a wide variety of delicious options, including fresh seafood and many local dishes. Every morning was something to look forward to. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Qingdao. Highly recommended!

Location is on the Taidong Beer Museum street, 5mins walk away but I found it really incovenient. The hotel is located inside a gated community so there's a guard and barrier to entry. Most drivers will not turn in to the hotel which is a good 100-200m away from the barrier. Have to lug your luggage in and out. Very inconvenient if you travelling to and fro via taxi/car. Almost 0 effort by hotel to mitigate this issue. The sign to the hotel is barely seen, no agreement or effort made with the guardhouse to make it easier and fuss free for customers to board. You might as well stay in another hotel on the same street. There's plenty. The building itself was super unkempt, only the inside furnishings look like a hotel from the Ji Hotel brand. The most problematic part about the hotel is the long steep flight of stairs, no escalators, no lift. Worst, no staff in front of the hotel to help with luggage to attempt at any service recovery. Cannot imagine the nightmare it would have been if I was with elderly. Front desk service was really lacking. No warmth, not friendly, barely polite. Did not offer the free gift promised on Trip. Housekeeping is haphazard, I hear them feedback that there's only 3 housekeeping staff but honestly that's really not my problem. 开门就问我怎么还没出门，我也是无语了。 Amentities wise, there's only one lift so you have to share with the robot. Imagine if the lift is full, you might even have to get out to make space for the robot. Lol. The bathroom is crazy small, I reckon a bigger size person can't even turn around. Walls are so thin, we got complained for watching tv at volume 16. Overall, other than the furnishing, it did not feel like a hotel from the Ji Hotel brand. I regularly choose Ji Hotels across different cities in China and I was quite bewildered by this one. To be fair, affordable for the price, nothing impressive. My recommendation is to try another hotel down the street.

Sanatorium Getaway I am endlessly excited about choosing this hotel because it met all my needs for a week of isolation and meditative rest. First of all, it was a privilege to be accommodated in a suite—two spacious rooms with a beautiful garden view. I didn't expect such a wonderful room upgrade at all. Secondly, the type of hotel—a sanatorium with a vast territory and separate villa-like buildings—was surrounded by a beautiful garden. The conifer trees were so fragrant that I felt like I was undergoing a course of aroma therapy. Thirdly, the proximity to the seaside park was a major plus. I enjoyed taking strolls along the seashore, breathing in the cedar tree fragrance and gazing at the blue sea. Lastly, the location is cleverly situated right in the middle of travelers' routes, making it no more than 20-30 minutes to either the old town or the wild nature sites around the Lao Mountains. And it also means that I enjoyed the peaceful environment as the tourists crowds were far away and here I hardly heard any noise throughout my week stay. Except for the birds tweeting, which was utterly pleasing! I was happy to have a daily walk down the hill for the breakfast and walking up the hill after the meal which was so healthy and exercising. As well as strolls up an down the hill in order to get on a bus or a metro. I was given a fruit platter daily too. Awesome healthy treat ! All in all, I was on cloud nine. I couldn't have made a better choice than booking this hotel instead of a typical multistory hotel, which now seems like a cell compared to the freedom of living amidst gorgeous nature. After all, that's the essence of summer holidays! Tips: no big choice of restaurants around, just a few and not the best, but there’s a cute villa right across the sea with a cafe in it. I used to order meals via *******, they deliver right to your door, it’s so convenient!

Overall I think the hotel was great for the price. The location especially was very convenient compared to others at the same price point- lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The staff was also a standout, they had seemingly very genuine smiles every time they greeted us. The only issue I experienced was receiving a bath towel with a sizable hole in it from continued use. Otherwise the amenities were generally good. City night view was lovely. Metro was only a 2-3 minute walk.

Here's another 'small but perfectly formed' place, exceeding my expectations – I actually had the best night's sleep here! 1. After exiting the subway, just keep following the 'VIP Building' (or Plaza Premium Lounge) signs. (Odd that the other two hotels have their names displayed, but Aerotel doesn't, though at least they're all in the same general direction.) 2. I chose a room without a private bathroom, but the communal bathroom wasn't far from my room. I went twice, once in the morning and once at night, for washing and using the toilet, and didn't encounter anyone else. It actually felt a bit like being at home, just stepping out of the room to use the facilities. The room itself isn't big, and the AC control panel is on the ceiling. It has a TV, hangers, and a kettle – everything you need. The window is sealed, but once the AC is on, it doesn't feel stuffy at all; the air feels circulated. 3. If you want a good night's sleep, you definitely need to pull the curtains all the way down. Since I arrived at night, it felt quite dark. To avoid oversleeping, I only pulled them halfway. The next morning, I vaguely heard/dreamt of the sound of rain (or was it someone dragging luggage?). I opened my eyes, and the sunlight was streaming in, making the room so bright! 4. Exiting the room, there's a dedicated security channel, which is super convenient and leads directly past security. BUT! It's quite a trek from the VIP lounge. I walked a long way to V2 to eat some mackerel dumplings, and then after eating, I walked back to the boarding gate… Note: From the subway to the VIP Building/Plaza Premium Lounge is on the first floor. You can print your boarding pass here, then take the elevator next to it up to the third floor to check in. Before boarding, my boarding code wouldn't scan, so I had to go back from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor to print my boarding pass, and then back to the 3rd floor for security. But overall, it was all pretty quick!

The lady at the front desk was incredibly helpful! So gentle and patient!! The room layout was also great, spacious and bright, really excellent 👍 The hotel's cleaning staff were also wonderful ~ they cleaned very thoroughly and were very enthusiastic. Hospitable Shandong truly lives up to its name ^ ^ The hotel's location is also superb, very close to May Fourth Square, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. Highly recommended 👍 Just the shower pressure was a bit low, hope that can be improved ~

This hotel is right by the sea, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. You're just a few steps away from seeing the ocean, and there are tons of restaurants nearby. The room was absolutely huge, and the price was very reasonable. Shandong people are so generous! Next time I'm in Qingdao, I'm definitely staying here again. Highly recommended!
