From the airport get shuttle bus 1 (Y20), the bus stops at the end of the road the hotel is situated on (I used pre-cached google maps GPS to make sure I got off at the correct stop, as there was no English on the bus or timetable). From the train station a meter taxi costs about Y30 and takes... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks on a business trip recently and will never stay at another hotel in Qingdao again. The hotel is just plane funky. the whole place is decorated like you have never seen before. There are 10 different kinds of rooms and they leave all the empty rooms open during the day to air...

I visit Qingdao often and this is by far the best and most interesting hotel option in this city. The price is also very fair and lower than the local international chain hotels in the area. Beautifully design and decoration are also a big plus. The staff is very friendly, smiling and extremely helpful. Suzen and Lily are fantastic and... More

After checking the rankings here at Tripadvisor we chose this hotel because of its good reviews and fair pricing. the hotel is well located, near fuzhou bei lu and quite close to xianggang... More

We thought we'd give this unique place a try - based on it's mainly favourable reviews, a sense of adventure, and my limited Chinese. Not that no-one spoke a word of English here - far from it, but come on.. this is not the Shangri-la, nor the Intercontinental and it's certainly not pretending to be. If you're looking for 5...

I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a hotel in Qingdao. As I'm able to get very good rates from 5* hotels due to my work, on this occasion I was unable to find room at any of the usual western hotels. I recalled a recommendation made by a friend that I would find this hotel "interesting". And it... More

Check-in and Lobby: This is a unique hotel to say the least. It is located down an alley that has been designated a cultural area with historical markers as... More
