Golden Bay Hotel

My friend recommended this well-established five-star hotel, and its location is fantastic. It's right next to Weihai University, close to the popular Torch Eight Street, and the beach is literally right outside. There are also tons of great restaurants nearby, making it super convenient for getting around and finding food. While the hotel facilities aren't brand new, they're well-maintained, and the rooms are clean and tidy. The breakfast spread is extensive, and there were quite a few families with kids staying over the weekend, creating a lovely atmosphere. Weihai's waters are so clear, and there are plenty of trendy spots to visit. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Weihai!

Excellent service, and the boardwalk is just steps away. The breakfast spread was fantastic.

Here's my objective review of this stay. Pros: 1. Upon check-in, a staff member helped me with my luggage from the lobby. 2. My child lost a toy accessory in the room during our stay and we couldn't find it. When checking out, I asked the staff to look for it again when cleaning the room. In the afternoon, the hotel informed me that they had two teams search for it and finally found it. I'm very grateful, and they even helped arrange for it to be sent back to me with payment on delivery. 3. During one of the cleanings, they left two extra bottles of water and a note, indicating they noticed formula milk powder in the room and that more water might be needed for mixing it. 4. The male staff member in a black suit I met in the hallway and the female cleaner I met the next morning greeted me very politely. 5. During breakfast, a very tall manager and other service staff saw me with my young child and proactively offered to cook the noodles longer and even brought them to my table. When I mentioned that the yogurt was gone, they responded and refilled it very quickly. 6. The room has a great view, offering panoramic views of the beach and the pier. Cons: 1. There were no Little Prince children's amenities or daily yogurt, which I had read about in other reviews. 2. The non-smoking floor was a joke. There was always a smell of smoke in the hallway, and there was an ashtray full of cigarette butts on the windowsill in the hallway right in front of our room. After I moved it to the trash bin near the elevator, a few hours later, a plastic box full of cigarette butts had replaced it in the original spot. After I reported this to the hotel, their only response was that the guest across the hall was smoking in the corridor and they had aired it out, with no other action taken. 3. The provided baby bed rail couldn't be fixed securely and was ineffective. At our request and prompting, they brought ropes to tie it down (at the previous hotel we stayed at, the bed rail was already tied and secured before our arrival). 4. During the mid-stay cleaning, they didn't notice clothes dropped on the floor, and the duvet was just folded haphazardly. However, they did proactively drain the water from the bathtub. 5. The hotel room card could open a door leading to the beach, but we weren't informed about this. We only found out from a passerby.

After looking at many options, I finally settled on this hotel. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Jinhaiwan Pier on the first floor, and my sea-view room offered direct views of the pier as well. On our first day, they even upgraded our room, which was a really nice surprise. Our stay was fantastic! The staff were all incredibly friendly and always greeted us with a smile. The welcome fruit was also a thoughtful touch. It truly lives up to the reputation of hospitable Shandong!

Just got around to reviewing after the Spring Festival. The hotel's location is excellent. My room faced the sea, offering direct views of the sunset and the pier. I was lucky enough to be there during a heavy snowfall in Weihai, which was exactly the 'snowy sea' experience I had dreamed of. The hotel service was also fantastic. They delivered fresh fruit daily, and when they saw we had cold medicine in our room, they even left extra bottles of mineral water.

Extremely satisfied with this hotel! The breakfast spread was fantastic, and the pier is right outside the door, which was super convenient for taking photos. It was so nice to come back to the comfortable hotel after being out in the bustling crowds. I felt so happy and content. This must be the best hotel in Weihai.

We were upgraded to a suite with fantastic views. The facilities were decent, and the room was quiet and clean. The hotel staff was very service-oriented, making for a pleasant stay. The breakfast had a good local flavor; though the selection wasn't huge, everything was delicious. I have a friendly suggestion regarding safety: There's a popular photo spot (a pier-like structure) within the hotel that attracts many visitors from morning till night, and many tourists also relax in the hotel lobby. However, the elevators leading to the guest room floors currently have no restrictions, allowing anyone to access any floor freely. I hope this can be improved, perhaps by adding key card access to the elevators.
