Hotels With Pools in Shandong, China

Five-star review! This is hands down the best value-for-money hotel near the airport, my top choice for catching a flight. The location is absolutely unbeatable – just a few minutes to the terminal, so no need to rush or stress early in the morning. The room was clean and tidy, with brand new and well-maintained facilities. The mattress and pillows were super comfortable, and it was nice and quiet. The service was excellent throughout, no perfunctory gestures at all. Breakfast was tasty and perfectly sufficient to fill up. The overall decor is grand and well-ordered, definitely not cheap-looking. It's ideal whether you're staying overnight after a late arrival or just need a transition stay for an early morning flight. For anyone catching a plane, this is a no-brainer. I'll definitely be back!

Jiaodong Airport is really far. My flight landed at 9:30 PM, and I didn't get to the hotel until 11:30 PM. When I arrived, I met Ariane (Ms. Wang). I had originally booked a small sea-view suite, but after discussing it, she upgraded me to a 270-degree sea-view room. It turned out to be a great decision; the view from the room was fantastic, and I could enjoy the ocean right from my bed. After checking in, I added Ms. Wang on WeChat. She was incredibly responsive for room cleaning and bringing requested items, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of dishes, but it was too crowded. The next day, I decisively opted for the Executive Lounge on the 30th floor. Although there were fewer options, the experience was much better, and the views were great too. The scent in the lobby was pleasant, but a bit too strong; I'd suggest making it a little lighter. I'll definitely choose the Hyatt Regency Qingdao again on my next visit.

This hotel is right next to Quancheng Square, and the scenic view room offers expansive views, allowing you to watch the musical fountain from your room at night. The room facilities are clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and all the complimentary welcome fruits were delicious, showing the hotel's thoughtful service. I didn't get a chance to use the gym or indoor pool due to time constraints, but I imagine they would be excellent too. I especially recommend staying here if you're doing business at Xiangheng Square; the two buildings are connected, so you can go back and forth without stepping outside, which is super convenient. It's also within walking distance of key attractions like Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Daming Lake, and Wulongtan, and it's easy to get to Kuanhouli and Furong Street for food and shopping. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Jinan.

Check-in was a breeze. The room was clean, and there were plenty of towels and bottled water. The free swimming pool was a pleasant surprise – clean and not too crowded. My only complaint is that the room temperature was a bit high. I'd recommend telling the front desk right away if it's uncomfortable. My bad – I'm a bit shy and thought I could fix it with the in-room control panel, but I ended up waking up in the middle of the night feeling too hot.

The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance to the Confucius Temple and Mansion. The ambiance is wonderful, with ancient-style Chinese architecture throughout. Both the rooms and public areas are very well-designed. The courtyard room has a large private courtyard, perfect for relaxing. The hotel service is outstanding. They contacted us a day in advance and even prepared children's toiletries and a step stool. Any issues we had were immediately addressed. On our last day, they even allowed us a late check-out because our child was asleep – so thoughtful! We ordered a few signature dishes at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and the taste was great. Although it's a bit pricey, there's really nothing else to fault. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

The service here has always been excellent, and my extended stay has left me with warm and lasting memories. Bailey went above and beyond, preparing a handwritten welcome card (with a beautiful butterfly!) and steam eye masks, along with an abundant fruit platter – it was a truly amazing and warm welcome from the start. When I switched rooms the next day, more fruit was discreetly added, a testament to their continuous care. Housekeeping would neatly fold my clothes and place them on the sofa, wash my used coffee cups, and even organize the cosmetics and my Switch console on the dressing table. I had several long stays last year, and each visit brought new surprises; the service level is undoubtedly improving. The breakfast offers a wide variety of high-quality dishes, especially the pastries, and I always enjoy the meat options. The hotel's dinner buffet is reasonably priced and enjoyable. In the afternoons, evenings, and during the 'blue hour' in my room, I'd peacefully watch the clouds drift by outside my window, a patchwork of light. Towards the end of my stay, I even began to look forward to that transition from daylight to dusk – as the view outside changed, my mind quieted down. You truly see the passage of time here.

Overall, my experience was pretty good. The location is super convenient, really close to the scenic spots. The facilities are comprehensive, and it offers decent value for money. My only minor gripes are with the TV – you can only watch basic channels, and there's no screen mirroring, which is a bit surprising for a hotel of this size. I'd suggest upgrading the TVs. The service was also very good. For food deliveries, it's best to use the same last name as registered for your stay at the hotel, otherwise, constant verification can cause delays. Lastly, the mini-fridge items aren't free, and the prices are ridiculously high. I remember a Coke being 25, and a bowl of plain congee on the menu was, I think, 58. So, the prices for food and drinks are a bit steep. Otherwise, everything else was great. Oh, and the toilets don't have disposable seat covers, so remember to bring your own if you need them. I didn't take any photos inside the hotel, so here's a pic of Buzz Lightyear downstairs instead.

Every time I visit Tengzhou, I choose this hotel. It's a well-established hotel with excellent and very friendly service. The front desk staff are quick and efficient. Lobby Manager Xiao Yang is very welcoming and responsive, and even arranged a complimentary breakfast. I have to give it a full 5 stars, and I'll definitely be staying here again.

Like a labyrinth, even hard to find my room and the outlet lobby way ;) The room carpet should be vacculmed I think. Dust can easily float in the air and is bad for our health. The bath water is excellent if the temperature can be 5 degree higher. Hope, the patient assistant can tell us how to use the services and facilities Thanks very much.

We brought our child to Rizhao for a vacation this time, and choosing the Sheraton Rizhao was absolutely the right decision! The hotel is right next to Wanpingkou, just a few minutes' walk to the beach to catch the sunrise. The lobby is grand and impressive, and our sea-view room was spacious and bright. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and viewing balcony allowed us to overlook the entire bay from the comfort of our bed. The room was spotless, the mattress was soft and comfortable, and the large bathtub with a sea view created a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. The heated swimming pool had clean water, and the KAI Kids' Club was well-equipped, keeping our child happily entertained. The breakfast offered a rich variety, including local Rizhao specialties. The staff were consistently warm and attentive, proactively providing us with a tide chart and offering detailed travel guidance. With its comprehensive leisure facilities, it's a one-stop shop for dining, accommodation, and entertainment. We'll definitely stay here again on our next visit to Rizhao!
