I struck gold with this hotel during my Qingdao trip! My stay was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a walking tour of the Old City. The hotel is perfectly situated in the historic Zhongshan Road Dabao Island area, just 200 meters from Zhongshan Road subway station – a mere 3-minute walk.
It's about 350 meters (a 5-minute walk) from St. Michael's Cathedral, and right next door to the Beer Exchange. You can also reach Zhanqiao Pier in about 15 minutes, roughly 1 kilometer away, passing by charming old Qingdao-style buildings along the way, making for a very smooth walking tour.
The hotel itself is a beautifully renovated century-old courtyard house, preserving the unique architectural features of old Qingdao 'liyuan' (courtyard residences). The courtyard, with its red tiles and arched corridors, exudes historical charm, offering a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city. The elegant courtyard is also perfect for photos. Inside, the rooms are well-equipped, beautifully blending old and new elements. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and they even provide local specialty Laoshan Cola – a thoughtful touch.
This hotel perfectly balances a historical ambiance with a modern accommodation experience. Right outside, you're on Zhongshan Road, with a concentration of restaurants, cultural and creative shops, and attractions, eliminating the need to rush around. It's ideal for those who want to explore Qingdao's Old City at a leisurely pace and visit its landmarks on foot. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Qingdao's Old City.
