Qingdao Kuaitong International Hotel

My boyfriend and i stayed here as we had a 25 hour layover on our way to Sydney. We picked this hotel as it was close to the airport and was cheap, while being branded as 4 stars. Reception staff were very friendly, although did not speak much english. Our room was clean but a bit weird - a large window separated the bathroom and bedroom. However we were given towels, toiletries, tea and coffee which was good. We decided not to eat in the hotel as it was quite expensive however there was nothing much around the hotel either - so we ended up eating pot noodle. Hotel itself is a bit weird (there’s a strange shopping mall on the bottom floor and music playing in all the corrridors) but we found it quite amusing. Bed wasn’t the comfiest but it did provide much needed rest after our 11 hour flight. Breakfast was decent - mixture of asian and western food in a buffet style, both cold and hot. A shuttle bus provided by the hotel took us to the airport. Overall a weird but adequate stay - you essentially get what you pay for.

Close to the airport and even a shuttlebus service - very convinient. Nice bathroom but the bed was stonehard so did not sleep well. Very cheap to stay but old. The staff are very friendly. For one night it fine.

Stayed here one night as is close to the airport with a 10 min walk and i had a business meeting in the morning and was very cheap for the night. Hotel is very big and rooms are huge. I checked in and my room stunk of smoke so i went to reception and changed rooms. The bathroom was a window in the room and with condoms etc for sale in room it seemed like a hotel people used for sex. Room was dirty and the hotel could use a complete overhaul but as Qingdao is opening a new international airport next year this hotel will probably suffer as nothing in the area other than the airport. They also had a massage area at the back which i did not use but was probably a brothel. So if you want a cheap room by the airport and you are only staying one night in transit this is ok but definately not a hotel stay.
