For 12-days in October/November 2018, I stayed in the Huanghai Hotel, which overlooks parks and the coastline, notably Bathing Beach No 1, i.e. the best beach in Qingdao. The location is great for attractions, such as Underwater World which is a 10 minute walk from the hotel [not including the time to cross the roads]. I stayed in a room on the 18th floor with views over the coast. The room was nicely equipped, and included a kettle and sachets of coffee [these contained powdered milk and sugar]. The television screened almost exclusively Chinese channels, although one had the news in English. Overall, the room was clean and well maintained; the bathroom contained dispensers presumed to be of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Two bottles of drinking water were provided each day. There were restaurants on the first, 2nd, 4th and 21st floor; buffets were offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, guests could order a la carte. The hotel as busy with numerous conferences and wedding; the latter of which usually took place on Sundays. There was a small Qingdao Brewery outlet beside the main entrance. This sold a range of products, and was a convenient place to drink one of more of their famous beers. Overall, a pleasant hotel, and I will gladly stay there in the future.…

The food here was quite good with some interesting special dishes. The service was very lackadaisical . There was plenty of drinks on offer including draft TsingToa beer. Special dish was a whole chicken that was tasty.

This hotel is a little out of the way, although it's a nice walk to beach, the zoo and botanical garden. The highlights would be the Tsingtao Taproom and the buffet selection. The rooms are nice enough and quiet. Building systems are a bit outdated. There's an adjacent conference center.

Many people would be disappointed to see a notice in the elevator that the buffet includes free Qingdao beer, but then not actually have it. But that was about the only disappointment. I had an upgraded high floor room, although facing the hill not the sea. The sea view rooms I am told have a very nice view. There is a nearby very large park and the old Olympic facilities. In May the beach was swimmable, although I only waded. It is suggested to go left from the hotel and up the hill to a local shopping district. At supper time, scorpions were being offered as a snack! Lots of banks but despite what they say on the outside they really cannot (easily) change money and one essentially has to go to Bank of China downtown for that (but there is an ATM in the lobby). To come back to the buffet, it serves local food which is heavy on vegetables. Those used to Westernized Chinese food may be disappointed. The menu changes but not much, each day. Only on the last night did I find that there is a chef on the side ready to hand make noodles for you. Not only was that delicious, but he came over to my table later to make sure I had enjoyed it! I enjoyed the locale and found the hotel generally a good place to stay.…

Room Tip:If you can, get a room on a high floor toward the sea. The view on the other side is not bad either.

About as bad as other hotels I stayed in. Large lobby with enormous TV showing communist propaganda (Mao doing just about anything.) Small rooms smelled of bad fried food, view of sea promised, got photovoltaic panels no charm. Hotel needs to invest in new carpets and vacuum cleaners. Breakfast unspeakable.

I was here for a few days on business. Upon arrival they messed up my booking, but they were apologetic and managed to get me a room with a view on the non-smoking floor. The room wasn't anything too special, the furniture and carpet seems dated, but it was clean and tidy. The location is great for holiday makers, within 5min walk to the beach.

Booked this hotel as my event was happening here. Got a room right in front of the elevator but sound proof was quite poor as I could hear clearly the ladies chit chatting in the next room. Do prepare ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Location I arrived almost midnight and only stayed 2 nights and didn't get to go out much and walk around hotel. Room Clean and tidy but it was still quite cold with the heather turn on as the cold air was coming in through the window. Can hear noises clearly from room next door. Though it was a non-smoking floor, there are still cigarette disposal bins available right below the Non-smoking sign which defeats the purpose. I seriously can't understand why can't hotel have a fully and strictly NON-SMOKING area. Staff Friendly and polite. Can converse in simple English but if you could speak in Mandarin, that'd be better. Breakfast Room package came with breakfast and they had a good spread of variety-Chinese and western Might consider this hotel again if event is happening here and just 1 or 2 night stay for convenience sake.…

I was part of a conference and stayed on the executive floor. I'm not used to smoking in hotels so I could always tell when someone was smoking on my floor. My room didn't smell that bad but it definitely had a smoker in it recently. Water pressure in shower was great. Carpet was worn and bathroom had strange black spots in the shower. Hairdryer was an adventure. No wireless internet in room but was wired and had adapter to plug in ipad. I was provided two water bottles a day but I think the regular rooms don't get that. Bed was hard but I really liked that. Only one tv station in English but that was fine with me. I wasn't there to watch tv. Ate at the buffet restaurant most days. Same food most days (all three meals even). It was ok with some outstanding selections in the back where they will grill meat and steam seafood fresh for you. Too bad I didn't figure that out until my last day.…

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. We had a two room suite that was spacious with two flat screens. Thankfully, we were on the non-smoking floor. The Internet was wired but did work nicely. Every day, they supplied free bottled water, which was appreciated. Cotton robes were also included. The towels were of poor quality and not many included. The bed was very hard with no boxspring. Some oddities of the room were the bathrooms had mirrored walls and the soap was dispensed in large pump bottles, all marked in Mandarin. The carpets were filthy with many dirt spots - wear the slippers. The air conditioning must have been on a timer. Every morning, we woke up at 2AM sweating and had to reset the thermostat. The room then cooled down. Ate at the restaurant several times. Many local fish and vegetable dishes of average quality served buffer style. The same food every day.…

Outdated, small rooms, very dirty carpet, no air-conditioning, hard beds. Should I say more? Staying in a hotel like this can ruin one's impression of Qingdao. Also, very dissappointing that only wired Internet connection is available, no WiFi. I had no use of my iPad or iPhone. I will definitely not stay here again.
