Dalian Southern Airline Pearl Hotel

Arriving at the Dalian domestic terminal, you can see the hotel right in front of the terminal exit. It took 10 min to walk there and not hard to find. If you arrive at the international terminal, you need another 5 min walk to the domestic terminal. Still manageable. Although the hotel is not new, it is managed decently. Not a 5 star international hotel; however, it is petty good using local hotel standard. There are pros and cons you may want to be aware of: Pros 1, I have been traveling for the last 20+ years and rarely have dinner at the hotel. It is because good chefs usually have their own restaurants. Last night, we were too lazy to look for food outside and ate at the hotel's Chinese restaurants. The food was surprisingly good. Low price, yummy, ordering using iPad. Not bad at all. I cannot ensure when you stay there next time the same chef is still around. 2, Unlike some local hotels in China, my no smoking room is truthly smoke free. No smelly fume at all. Cons 1, I was staying there in mid Feb. Outside temperature was -4°C at night. Thermostat in the room read 30°C. And, there is no way to adjust it except turning the AC off. So, HOT, HOT, HOT ...... 2, They do serve breakfast as part of room package, and the choices are good. However, don't expect the food is hot since breakfast is a buffer and they don't seem to know how to make the burner working properly. Also, it is Chinese style breakfast, do expect to see deep dried chicken, stir fried vegetable without toast and cereal. 3, I was traveling with a local, so we can call transport service using didi. Not sure if it is easy for international traveler to call for taxi although you can always walk back to airport terminal to get a cab. Morning workout! 4, There is a small convenient store inside the hotel. Look shady and I did not want to walk in. Hope it helps and enjoy traveling.

Good hotel for a short stay. Well situated near the airport. Even if the hotel is a full smoking area including all rooms, the one I get , has not the cigarette smell. Room is confortable and clean. Not a lot of noise even with the room with airport view. very convenient for morning flight. In the south of the hotel several chinese restaurant and in the near future a Wanda Mall (1.3km).

Nice place to stay just a couple of nights with quick access to the airport. Perfect location - just across the street from the airport. I needed an urgent flight from Dalian and could not find any on the web since it was too close to departure, thus decided to book one right at the airport. That was my first flight booked at the counter - not online! ))) The hotel in Okay, clean and neat. Poor wifi in rooms.
