Lvfeng Yage Holiday Apartment (Qingdao Convention and Exhibition Center)

Dicht bij het metrostation, Shilaoren strand en Qingdao Grand Theatre, allemaal binnen tien minuten lopen. De kamer was ruim, met een prachtig uitzicht vanaf de hoge verdieping en het was erg schoon.

De ervaring was geweldig, de algehele sfeer was de prijs waard en de hygiëne was ook perfect.

Ik ben verbaasd over de 10/10 beoordelingen; deze recensies weerspiegelen absoluut niet de werkelijkheid. Ja, de locatie vlakbij het strand en het uitzicht vanuit de kamer op zee waren goed, maar dat is dan ook alles. Om te beginnen de receptie: er zijn vier receptiebalies beneden in de lobby, nogal chaotisch, waardoor het een rommeltje is wie er in en uit gaat. De kamers zijn erg slecht ingericht, oud en niet schoon. Vooral de badkamer was erg onhygiënisch. Er lagen geen kleine handdoekjes bij de wastafel, alleen wegwerphanddoekjes, wat heel vreemd is. Waarom is er een kitchenette op de kamer? Dat slaat nergens op. Het ontbijt was erg karig en de hoeveelheid onacceptabel; we zijn niet teruggegaan, ondanks dat we het hadden gereserveerd. Ik vind het erg vreemd dat een overnachting 90 euro kost. De locatie is ook niet ideaal; het is vrij ver van de oude binnenstad van Qingdao en het Vierde Meiplein. Het duurt meer dan 30 minuten, zo niet langer, om er met de boot te komen... Het strand is overdag eb, en zoals typisch is voor China, staan ​​er duizenden mensen maar wat rond te hangen... Een strandvakantie zoals in Thailand, Vietnam of Bali is onmogelijk. Dus ik kan dit hotel absoluut niet aanbevelen... we zouden er eigenlijk een compensatie voor moeten krijgen...

Helaas is de inrichting gedateerd, met vlekken op de kussens en de bank, en ook op de handdoeken. Op de foto's is een keuken te zien, die er inderdaad is (fornuis, koelkast, magnetron), maar er is zelfs geen basis keukengerei aanwezig (geen borden, pannen, bestek, zelfs geen kopjes, wat standaard is in elk hotel met een waterkoker). De wasmachine op de kamer is prima, maar houd er rekening mee dat er geen droger is, hoewel er wel een wasrek is. Afgezien van de vlekken is de kamer mooi ingericht, ruim en biedt een prachtig uitzicht vanuit het raam. Op een dag werd de schoonmaak vergeten, maar we konden in ieder geval vers water halen bij de receptie. De locatie is ideaal als u de omgeving van de Fushan-berg en het Shilaoren-strand wilt verkennen. Dicht bij de metro en een goed winkelcentrum met veel eetgelegenheden.

The hotel is neat and has alot of convienent shops. It close to town and one easily order food that is delivered late into the night. The staff were very helpful.

The elevators could be a bit of a pain at times, but the room was impeccably clean and the location was perfect for exploring. The beer festival was very close by as well!

The view from the room is indeed quite good, just as other reviews mentioned, though I’d say it’s good rather than breathtaking—for starters, the windows were quite dirty. Location-wise, it is very close to the Shilaoren Beach Club and beach. However, if you plan to travel to the city center, it is quite far and takes about 20 to 30 minutes by taxi or public transit. The front desk staff downstairs was extremely busy; when we arrived to check in, we had to wait over 20 minutes for someone to show up. The 1st-floor lobby is very chaotic, shared with many different entities and organizations squeezed together. The building composition and foot traffic are quite complex, with no seating area in the main lobby at all. On top of that, waiting for the elevators (in a 40+ story building) takes a long time. Also, food delivery drivers are not permitted to bring orders upstairs, so you have to walk down to the 1st-floor delivery lockers every time. The room itself was acceptable in size, with fairly spacious living area and beds. However, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. On our first day, we found quite a bit of dirt and stains on the countertops and floor. Although we asked the housekeeping staff to clean it again, it was only a basic surface sweep—more like routine home cleaning rather than the meticulous, thorough standard you would expect from a hotel. The room facilities are relatively outdated: the TV connection was unstable, and the cabinet doors had poor tolerances and couldn't close properly. There was also a noticeable musty odor in the room, and a persistent urine smell in the bathroom. Daily cleaning, water refills, and basic amenities were provided consistently, but towel supplies are strictly limited: only two bath towels and one floor towel per day. They are replaced daily, but if you request extra towels, staff cannot provide them until the next day. A washing machine is provided along with laundry detergent upon request, but there is nowhere to hang or dry clothes in the room—you can only hang them in a corner to let the air conditioning blow on them, which isn't truly breathable or effective. Furthermore, while there is an induction stove and microwave, no cookware, dinnerware, or knives are provided. Heating up food is fine, but actually cooking is inconvenient as you have to buy all utensils yourself, making the "kitchen" feature feel somewhat half-baked. The butler service was friendly, but the team is severely understaffed—there seemed to be only one butler and a handful of housekeepers. They appeared extremely busy and were clearly trying their best, but their capacity is limited. I feel the issue isn't a lack of effort from the frontline staff, but rather poor overall management, inadequate maintenance, and a lack of systematic employee training behind the scenes. The staff don't seem properly supported either, which is tough on them. Given the price point, it might be acceptable for what you pay. I would say it's fair value, but definitely not a great value. Calling this place a "serviced apartment" feels like a stretch because it lacks the level of maintenance and operational quality required. Unless you specifically require a kitchen space, I would not recommend this hotel—at this price range, there are plenty of much better choices available if a kitchen isn't a necessity.

The best views in town. Could use more stringent cleaning, otherwise it is great value for the price. Room is spacious and has great view. Kitchenette is useful.

I spent a weekend here, and it was a great experience! My apartment was absolutely fantastic, offering breathtaking views from the 42nd floor. Waking up to that sea view every morning was truly a highlight of my stay. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day. The facilities and services provided by the hotel are top‑notch. The hotel staff are helpful and professional. I am glad I chose this hotel for my trip! I genuinely enjoyed every moment spent there. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable experience! 我在这里度过了一个周末，整体体验非常棒！我住的公寓无可挑剔，在42层坐拥壮阔迷人的海景。每天清晨伴着海景醒来，是这次入住最大的惊喜。房间宽敞舒适，奔波一整天之后，可以好好放松身心。酒店配套设施完善，服务水准一流。工作人员待人热心，业务专业。很庆幸这次旅行选择了这家酒店。我十分珍惜在这里度过的每一刻，真心推荐所有想要一段难忘旅途的游客前来入住！
