Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport

Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport

📍 No. 7 Jinhang Road, Jiaozhou
★★★★ 9.4 (15,376 reviews)

"After a very long walk from the airport, I finally reached the hotel. Luckily, this one was right at the entrance, so it was the closest. I requested a quiet room, but it didn't seem like the hotel paid much attention or made any special arrangements. The airplane noise came in waves, but thankfully, my tolerance is pretty good, and it was only for one night as a stopover, so I managed. It was a city view room, and I could see the airport pretty clearly in the morning. Overall, it was okay."

Haiyi International Apartment

Haiyi International Apartment

📍 Tower B, Haiyi Tiancheng, No. 29 Donghai West Road, Shinan District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.1 (3,231 reviews)

"The apartment was spacious and very comfortable to stay in. It had 2 bathrooms, which was super convenient, but I really wish there was a bidet spray — it would make the stay perfect 😭 The TV didn’t work at all, though. I was impressed with the housekeeping service. They replaced and refilled everything every day. There’s also a minimart downstairs, which made everything very convenient. Ordering food delivery was easy because the building provided a local Chinese phone number for guests. The location was great, very close to MixC mall, and the sea was just across the area 🌊 However, there were people smoking inside the building and even around the elevator lobby, which made the atmosphere less pleasant. Also, on rainy days the fog was so heavy that the view completely disappeared. But the night view was absolutely stunning — the city lights looked amazing ✨"

"The hotel boasts a convenient location, making it easy to access the Olympic Sailing Center, Badaguan, and other attractions. Our room was spacious and bright, and the service was excellent. Upon check-in, we were assigned a personal butler who connected with us via WeChat, ensuring easy communication and prompt responses to any queries. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including some delicious local specialties. Just across the road is the beach, where we enjoyed the beautiful sunset, dotted with white sails, and a gentle sea breeze. The kids had a fantastic time and even discovered some sea anemones. It was a delightful trip to Qingdao!"

Qingting · Lyric Courtyard Hotel (Zhongshan Road Metro Station, Zhanqiao, Qingdao)

📍 No. 67 Jiaozhou Road, Shibei District, Qingdao
★★★★ 9.5 (1,330 reviews)

"The location is super convenient, right above the subway station. It's an old building, but it's been recently renovated on the inside. It's also really close to the train station. Definitely worth staying here, excellent value for money! **Amenities:** They have a new Panasonic hairdryer, which is a plus, but there was some hair on it from a previous guest. No mini-fridge, which isn't great if you want cold drinks in the summer. **Cleanliness:** Good, no weird smells in the room. **Service:** Very good! They even proactively told me about the history of the hotel building."

Tsingtao Time Resort Hotel

"We had an amazing stay at this resort and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Qingdao! The resort is very clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It's a great choice for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the best parts was the complimentary perks. We really enjoyed the unlimited beer, free daily ice cream, and the professional photo shoot that came with the stay. The photos turned out beautifully and became one of our favorite memories from the trip. The resort is located inside Beer City, where there are plenty of attractions, entertainment, and activities to enjoy. The surrounding atmosphere is lively, especially in the evening, making it a fun place to spend time without needing to travel far. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of delicious choices, catering to different tastes. Every morning was a great start to the day. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Since my phone number isn't a Chinese number, I couldn't scan and unlock the shared electric bikes myself. The staff patiently helped us scan the QR code and assisted us every time we needed it, which made getting around much easier. Their kindness and willingness to help really made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this resort exceeded our expectations, and we would happily stay here again on our next visit!"

"The hotel is located in Marina Bay, just a short walking distance from the lighthouse. We enjoyed beautiful neon night view from our room during the winter without even needing to step outside. The room is spacious and suitable for families, and the hotel also provides free self-service laundry facilities. The only downside is that the bathroom has no window and there was a slight unpleasant smell. It would be great if the hotel could add some fragrance to improve this."

Crowne Plaza QINGDAO OCEAN SPRING RESORT by IHG Hotels in Qingdao

Crowne Plaza QINGDAO OCEAN SPRING RESORT by IHG

"We recently stayed at this resort and had a very pleasant experience overall. The location is just outside the city, about a 40-minute drive, and the drive there is beautiful. The resort was also very easy to find. Check-in was simple and smooth, and the staff were excellent throughout our stay—friendly, helpful, and quick to assist whenever needed. The room was large and clean, although it does show some signs of age. The hot springs, pool, and slides were a lot of fun and were kept clean, which we really appreciated. That said, some areas, especially the roof and floor surfaces, also show visible signs of aging and could use some maintenance. Our room did not have coffee or tea available when we arrived, but the staff provided it very quickly after we asked, which was great service. Breakfast was average, but for only a slightly higher price, it is worth including with your stay for the convenience. Overall, this is a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay, especially if you are looking for a getaway just outside the city."

Barony Park Hotel Qingdao Airport ★★★★
"Having stayed at Jinan Junting before, this was my first time at Bangchen. The room, though small, was well-equipped. I particularly liked the soft, skin-friendly linens with their dual inner and outer colors. Being able to take the connecting corridor directly to the airport for an early morning flight was a huge plus."

Atour Hotel Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport ★★★★
"The hotel room was quite large; even two people would have been very comfortable. The girls who checked me in at reception were very, very friendly. I only used the hotel's airport shuttle service, which was fine, but I couldn't use the airport pickup service; they didn't respond on time. My Chinese isn't very good at calling the hotel directly and making requests. So I would recommend that they be more careful in that regard. (they replied after I had left😆) Overall, the cleanliness was very good. The only issue is that they don't seem to clean the glass wall in the bathroom very often; I hadn't even used it yet and it was already dirty. And just one recommendation: the tea they left in the room was delicious, and I learned that in Chinese culture they don't use sugar in tea. But I'm not Chinese, and I do need something sweet 😁😅😆 They could add a small cookie or something sweet for those of us who need something sweet."

Qingdao Haitian Hotel ★★★★★
"Jiaodong Airport is really far. My flight landed at 9:30 PM, and I didn't get to the hotel until 11:30 PM. When I arrived, I met Ariane (Ms. Wang). I had originally booked a small sea-view suite, but after discussing it, she upgraded me to a 270-degree sea-view room. It turned out to be a great decision; the view from the room was fantastic, and I could enjoy the ocean right from my bed. After checking in, I added Ms. Wang on WeChat. She was incredibly responsive for room cleaning and bringing requested items, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of dishes, but it was too crowded. The next day, I decisively opted for the Executive Lounge on the 30th floor. Although there were fewer options, the experience was much better, and the views were great too. The scent in the lobby was pleasant, but a bit too strong; I'd suggest making it a little lighter. I'll definitely choose the Hyatt Regency Qingdao again on my next visit."

Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square) ★★★★★
"The hotel's location is excellent, conveniently close to the subway for easy travel. It's just a ten-minute walk to MixC shopping mall, making dining and shopping very convenient. It's also a twenty-minute walk to May Fourth Square. However, the soundproofing is poor; you can hear conversations from the next room. The triple room is spacious, but the cleaning wasn't very thorough and could be improved. There's no iron or ironing board in the room. The hotel breakfast is mediocre with a limited variety of fruits. On the day of check-in, our room wasn't ready, so we had to wait for almost an hour, only getting our room key close to 3 PM."

Qingdao Hotels: Where to Stay from the Old Town to Golden Beach

Qingdao Hotels: Where to Stay from the Old Town to Golden Beach

About Qingdao

Qingdao is a coastal city on the Shandong Peninsula that pairs seaside scenery with European-influenced heritage, a legacy of its early-20th-century history as a German concession. Red roof tiles and green trees define the Old Town's narrow streets, while centuries-old European architecture sits alongside modern landmarks like May Fourth Square, centred on the red "May Wind" sculpture, with evening light shows illuminating the Fushan Bay skyline and the adjacent Olympic Sailing Centre. The city is home to Zhanqiao Pier, its most famous landmark stretching into the sea, the Tsingtao Brewery Museum celebrating China's best-known beer, and Laoshan Mountain, a coastal peak with ancient Taoist temples and hiking trails overlooking the Yellow Sea.

Where to Stay in Qingdao

May Fourth Square & Olympic Sailing Centre

Qingdao Travel Essentials
