HUALUXE Qingdao Licang by IHG

great

Breakfast was good

This hotel is NOT 5 star!! It is 3 star at best. Air conditioner in our room did not work and the sheets were not changed in 6 days we stayed there. The room was covered in dust and the toilet kept getting blocked. There were also cigarette butts left on the floor near the lift and they were not picked up for 2 days. Everything in this hotel stinks of smoke. The gym is not free to use, you must pay. And the pool is indoor and very basic. The hotel breakfast was good, sometimes things were cold though so it’s better to go early. The lunch and dinner had a weird smell and food looked like it had been sitting there for a long time. Not appetising at all. It is also very hard to get drinks or food delivered to your room. There was a QR code for room service but it did not work. The location of the hotel was also very far from the downtown area. I would not recommend staying here if you are a foreigner. You should stay closer to May 4th square.

The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful.

The quality of the building is not up to normal standards—- the toilet was leaking, the room air conditioning vents were covered by thick layers of dust and the room was very noisy on a windy day because the windows were not sealed properly. The food quality in the restaurant was appalling.

The design and the location.

located in 4th floor, nothing great with breakfast, but decently good. variety was ok

air conditioning in room was not that cool even with temperature setting at lowest and highest speed

I like the view from a high floor there. There should be a check-in counter agent who can speak English.
