Sea View Garden Hotel Qingdao

The room is very nice, very well appointed and feels very luxurious. The room is quite clean and feels quite new also. There is also a good Chinese restaurant within the hotel compound. Across the street is a nice garden where you can have a walk down the hill to the sea. It is located near the city center of the city.

This lovely hotel strives for outstanding guest service… And they really achieve it! From the greeting upon entrance, to the “orientation “in your room, to all of the nice little extra touches, the SeaView Garden Hotel is the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. I switched to this hotel from a “famous name brand” that was more expensive and provided horrible service and wish I had skipped that one and stayed longer at SeaView. Just a couple examples of their added touches... All hotels are now requiring swim caps to go in the pool - the first hotel sold me an exorbitantly overpriced piece of crap. SeaView, not realizing I had one, offered me one for no charge. There are water bottles in the gym, at the pool and plenty in your room. The room was large, spacious, and had a tub and big shower. There were lots of amenities including bath salts, free drinks in the fridge, and a fruit plate, besides all the usuals. When I returned to my room in the evening, they had left a plate with snacks and little “gifts.” Every place I went, and each time I came or went, I was warmly greeted - always in English. There was a tiny issue with the room (the tub was dirty upon arrival - they were mortified!) and at least 3 people stopped me to apologize. I usually prefer staying in hotels that are a little more centrally located so I can walk around town, but if I return to Qingdao, I would probably sacrifice that and just not leave the premises (or, of course, take a taxi/Didi) - enjoy the restaurants and bars/lounges on property. One caveat ... this is not a modern hotel. They definitely go more for grandeur - perhaps a bit too much - and things are a bit overdone and old-fashioned for my taste, but as I’ve mentioned, the level of caring and attention to detail really outweighs that for me.

We stayed at Seaview Garden Hotel (海景花園酒店)for one night after we returned from Qufu trip. The location of Hotel is just perfect for us to relaxing and enjoying the view. The hotel has a remarkable entrance, beautiful lobby and brilliant hall. Our bedroom was large, well set with a large king-sized bed, comfortable sitting area, nice and open closet, and contemporary magnificent bathroom. Service was excellent. Concierge assistance was great. Wi-fi was strong and easy to connect. We enjoyed Hotel’s gorgeous breakfast. We enjoyed the stay.
