Reviews via Staylist's booking partner LiteAPI (Nuitée booking guests and Tripadvisor), fetched 2026-10-24, newest first, as written. - 3/10, 2026-09-18, Nuitée booking guest: "Absolutely not recommended" Didn't like: I have been traveling to China for a long time since 2012 and have visited a lot of different hotels of this brand and others. Every time I try to leave reviews to share my experience with fellow self-travelers. This time is not an exception. Long story short, this hotel has such bad management and is absolutely not worth the money. I will provide some examples of this hotel's service: 1. When I arrived, the room was horrible (photo attached, and take a look at this BEAUTIFUL view outside) and I asked to change it, but they said "we don't have available rooms to change!" But it has about 30 floors and dozens of rooms on each one. So they never changed my room. 2. I tried to change USD to RMB for about 3 days and 5 times. This is normal for each hotel in which I stayed, but here it is NOT. Every time they said "come later and we will do it." But every time they found new reasons why they could not. 3. I asked to call a taxi. They said "you should do it yourself." These are just some examples of my stay in this hotel. That's why I definitely do not recommend staying here. The rating on Booking.com and the 5* rating are not suited for this hotel. This is truly a 3* hotel and should be - 3/10, 2026-01-08, Nuitée booking guest: "Very Unhappy due to not fulfilling their promises." Didn't like: Indians shouldn't go to this hotel. They are fraud. 1. They didn't provide dinner while I booked Half Board. Reception and Manager don't understand meaning of Half Board. I had to go out to have dinner and paid for taxi, costly dinner and that too in minus one degree temperature outside. 2. They charged more than initial booked amount in Chinese currency. Amount in Chinese currency including taxes and fees should be constant. They didn't honor the amount shown on my account on booking.com. 3. They took 50% extra towards deposit and promised that the balance amount will be credited to my card on check out. I am still waiting for same after 2 days of checking out. I have already returned to India and now on checking they are saying it will take 15 days!!!! 4. No one in Hotel staff understands English and we had to take help of Google Translate or local Chinese English speaking friends. Overall - Indians shouldn't visit this fraud Hotel. - 2/10, 2025-06-17, Tripadvisor: "Tired Hotel with bad service" - 2/10, 2025-06-06, Tripadvisor: "HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE." - 2/10, 2025-01-26, Nuitée booking guest: "Best hotel in Qingdao" Didn't like: I love everything - 4/10, 2025-01-07, Tripadvisor: "Needs an update asap" - 1/10, 2024-11-02, Nuitée booking guest: "Bad" Didn't like: The staff was highly rude and non co opearative , had to call the reception for continously one hour but no response.
