Furniture is very dated not like a four star hotel, we spent 2 nights during moon festival and it was very expensive and they doubled the price , not worth it.

but furniture & carpet are very old with smell ( I stay 3 nights, 2 rooms with my partners at 9/F)

Housekeeping, Concierge & Duty Manager/Guest Service staff are very helpful & friendly.

Special compliment should be given to duty manager, Amber to resolve all the problem and offered memorable experience.

The room was clean and toasty during the cold wintery month.

Nice staff and clean room, everything is perfect!!!

The room was clean and nice with big window screen for the maximum viewing, I got the view with some sea views.

Room was clean on arrival and cleaned daily or as directed.

Requested an early check as arrived early flight no problem
Check in very efficient and friendly 
Room clean, Bed comfortable, shower good easy to turn the lights off!

Qingdao Blue Horizon Hotel(Laoshan)

Huiquan Dynasty is an older hotel with a classic ornate lobby.

Some of the older rooms are in need of renovation,

Two small negative points : 
- the area is a tourist trap.

Be aware of a few drawbacks of the rooms: First, the bedsheets are way too crisp, to the point of being annoyingly noisy and uncomfortable every time one moved or turned in bed.

And, don't forget to visit "Qingdao Beer Street" and enjoy some great seafood!

but had to be extra careful crossing the busy road to access the beach.

The room was very clean, there were sufficient towels and the walk-in shower was good, there was also a large bath.

The room was very clean and well equipped including all bathroom accessories, tea and coffe making tools.

Overall the experience was pleasant and I would recommend even leisure travellers to visit the hotel.

This hostel is much better than than the nearby Kaiyue hostel if you have strong legs because you need to walk up to the hill for at least 100 meters.

we had to ask the staff to order taxis for us as they don't go up the hill at all.

After the cab dropped me off at the bottom of the hill, I still had to stop and ask directions twice before I found it.

but it turned out to be on a hill a little far from the train station.

It was a bit of a walk up the hill to reach the hostel,

There are sometimes cabs dropping people off so you can simply hop in; otherwise you have to make your way down to the major intersection off the highway (Jiaozhou and Jiangsu) that is difficult for cabs to stop at -- best to cross the street and catch one from there. On the way back, be prepared to practice your Mandarin and explain the location at length unless your cabbie is already acquainted with it -- "you mean that place on top of the hill?"

The only problem is that the hostel is on top of a hill.

At night walking down the hill is a bit creepy so I would suggest to bring a torch and

the cleaning of this place can definitely improve more, it's not really in the center of the city, and had a hard time catching a taxi on the way out, overall not a bad place

The hostel is very dirty, and cleaning is basic for higienic and health, maitenance is very poor, locker on the cabinete was break, destroyed roof on the shower, windows, sofas, steps, inside roofs, plugs all break.

They could clean it up a bit -- get rid of some of the extras.

The staff very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

The room was very clean, and their rooftop bar is worth to check out !

The rooms were clean and towels are changed daily, which was nice for a hostel.

The room was clean and the sheets looked clean too and so did the bathroom.

rooms are clean, big, and - amazingly - have international news stations on the in-room TVs!

The room is clean and tidy, and the soundproofing is also very good.

Our rooms were clean and spacious and the rest of the hotel was lovely.

Rooms clean and comfortable, staff had good English and were very friendly.

We were greeted with warm tea and then shown to our impeccable room.

Shangri-La Qingdao

I lived at the top floor this time, the double room smelled humid and unpleasant, the door of the small cabin was broken, the curtain was broken as well:-(  And the top floor reading room is suffering the leakage of rain, let alone those old beaten sofas.

The heating wasn't working properly, the plaster came down from the walls，　ａ　ｂｉｇ　ｍｏｌｄ　ｓｐｏｔ　ｏｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｃｅｉｌｉｎｇ. .

The room is also dark and the aircon smelled musty.

A very small desk and a lamp as well as aircon unit, which luckily I didn't have to use.

Finally, because they admitted a problem with the machine, they offered us a 0,75 $ discount on the coffee at the bar, reduction that we already had because we stayed there!!!

but because the hostel had run out of membership cards, they said they couldn't renew our HI membership or extend the HI discount to us.

although if you have something specific in mind or want to go to the direction of the City Hall then you are a ways.

The walls from rooms to the corridor are rather thin so you are bound to hear everyone walking up and down in the evening and early morning.

The room was clean and spacious and the staff were incredibly helpful.

The room was clean and comfortable, with new, stylish design. Bedding was cozy and the bed was sort of soft (as far as Chinese beds go!)

The place is built in an old church, the rooms are rather clean, the bar/lounge is very comfy and cosy.

the people still are in old fashioned times of Mao.

The rooms are tiny and smell moldy the carpets are filthy the rooms are outdated and furniture worn out for 25 years.

An earlier review stated that the decor is outdated - which

strong smell in the room, room cleaning not up to standard, outdated deco, nearby construction make moving not convenient except a AEON shopping centre, the swimming pool is small more Fri dipping and quite dirty.

It just seems like inconvenient design to me.

Outdated decor and interiors, air conditioning not working 😡 bathrooms the size of a match box, confused staff !!!!

but it's in dire need of updating on the interior.

Nothing had changed, that means, the interior really needed maintenance, wallpaper coming off, closet doors loose, carpets stained, windows unable to close properly, a/c was active

Yellowish colour to everything is not the most appealing and the rooms outdated

This hotel is seriously outdated in the hotel business, the layout is the same everywhere, with no variations in style or design.

The negative:
The interior of the suite really needs to be updated and there were no bed side plugs to charge electronics, had to use the desk in the other room which had plenty of space to plug in.

The room itself was old, dreary and not exceptionally clean.

We had to help them move furniture around.

Old furniture, bathroom with broken tiles and not properly fixed.

Room was clean and comfortable and check in and out were fuss free.

Location is quite good, rooms are clean quite big and comfort is good, only the general feeling is of a quite old structure.

The windows don't seal properly so I had to sleep with it slightly open which wasn't great.

); we showered in about 4 centimeters of standing water because the drain was slow; the bathroom wall tiles were held on with scotch tape; lighting fixtures were askew; paint was chipped; the bathroom window featured old, dented min-blinds; some light bulbs were broken or flickered when on.

The windows were small, nothing that reminded of a 'special' view.

The problem what we have experienced was based on lack of management and maintenance of the building.

but shows already some defective construction spots and maintenance is probably the largest team.

Only problem was rain shower not working.

Housekeeping giving their best to keep my room tidy and so welcoming whenever I come in to my room I felt so at home and clean .

She is cheerful and friendly so it is a delight to have her clean our room.

Quite new and very large complex with monumental lobby

Well kept and clean 

In my room the light could not be turned off so I got an upgrade to a suite

All seaside rooms have balcony to enjoy sunset.

No shuttle to the Airport
Be careful at Qingdao airport and DO NOT accept a taxi offered inside the building since they charged the double than the regular ones, just at the left of the exit.

They charged a high amount for Internet service in their business center.

Many people would be disappointed to see a notice in the elevator that the buffet includes free Qingdao beer,

Got a room right in front of the elevator

Other things about this hotel: not enough elevators (always full and too slow).

Overall, the room was clean and well maintained; the bathroom contained dispensers presumed to be of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.

The room itself was clean and functional, the fixtures comparable to an American hotel in that price range,

The towels were of poor quality and not many included.

But they provide poor towels and not one extra (and since my shower leaked, I would have liked an extra one or two since I always had to mop up the floor).

I must say no one wants to see carpet which hasnt been replaced since 1920, gym equipment which hasnt been maintained since 1990.

Wet carpet soaked floor in the room hallway.

If you are looking for a true 5 star hotel, this isn't your place.

this hotel was one of the first 5 star hotels in qingdao, and is now a little tired.
