Huiquan Dynasty Hotel Qingdao

The room was great, featuring beautiful ocean views from our balcony! The road can be noisy outside, but the views are worth it. The bar off of the lobby is very good, though expectedly overpriced. The restaurant features a buffet. the rooftop views are great, but the food was not so great. The freshness was lacking (a danger at a buffet) and the beer was flat. It is not stored in a pressurized tap. This dinner was not worth it. There are many good restaurants in Qingdao- go elsewhere for dinner.

The One-Bedroom Suites I stayed in are good value with a very relaxing feel - second home :). Nice location in front of the beach. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff are all friendly. Will remember this hotel for a long time :)

Stayed here for two nights in Oct with a bunch of college classmates. Stayed in a room with panoramic ocean view. Excellent value. Decent room. Qingdao is a wonderful city to visit. Highly recommended.

If you like staring at the sea, if you like jogging or running, if you like to walk to achieve things this is a must. Location directly on the beach, connecting to a 40 plus (yes forty) seaside trail you can walk or run with no interruption from traffic. Hotel is China imperial style. So some attractiveness but also looking sometime a bit aged. Rooms I got was a suite on the corner. So double view from the living room and sea view from the bed. Although not fully newly refurbished, the rooms looked clean and I spent some relaxing hours there. Restaurant is rotating with very nice view but I arrived late and it was a bit like after war, with no clean and attractive food on show. English at the front desk ok but they should improve. Italian no way, of course.

Great Hotel right across from the beach in Qingdao. A nice layout with lots of amenities if the weather is not so good. Only stayed here 1 night not by choice. Lots to do in the area and a great place to wake up in the morning and go for a walk on the beach. This place would be very musy in the peak summer months. \

So many good things; Nice staff, bautiful and comforttable room (we had taken a superior room with ocean view). The restaurants (top rotating restaurant and the Chinese seafood restaurant) are excellent and reasonably priced for hotel restaurants! The top rotating restaurant has a fantastic view. Two small negative points : - the area is a tourist trap. Nothing to do at proximity (except the beach). Do not go to the little seafood restaurants on the street....they are scams! - the street vendors use loud speakers that you hear over and over from your hotel room.

The Huiquan Dynasty Hotel has most of the attributes of a Chinese five-star hotel - with some blemishes. The standard sea view rooms are excellent and since the balcony wall is transparent you can lie in bed and see the sea. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with free wifi of course. The lobby is splendid. Service is not yet perfect: the doorman opens the car door but does little else; his colleague had difficulty hailing a taxi; in general people could smile a little more. But the location makes up for all this and breakfast in the revolving restaurant on the 25th floor is really something special. For this alone we would return to the Huiquan Dynasty. Our Chinese friend who recommended the hotel to us said the food was nothing special. We found it OK and if you get a good deal as we did (672 RMB including breakfast in the Sky View Restaurant) it is excellent value for money.
