Nordic Memory in Qingdao

Love the scenery around the property area.

落在八大关景区内，离第二、第三浴场都不远，地理位置优越，工作人员都很热情，早餐简单却用心，满足了对于民宿的期待。

The location of the property is really amazing , it is within 5 minutes walk to the beach . The streets are clean filled with amazing smell of acacia and other deciduous trees. Rooms are neat and tidy , you can feel the historic heritage in the air . The owners of the hotel are lovely and friendly people always ready to come to your rescue ( the door handle of the bathroom came off and the owner fixed it within 20 minutes ). They served European style breakfasts 🍳 accompanied by superb coffee coming from the genuine italian coffee machine. Whenever I asked for a refill of coffee , the kind owner made so many cups of coffee for us without charging any extra money for it . In general , we genuinely enjoyed our stay at this hotel and we definitely would like to come back here any time soon . That was a splendid experience .

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Boutique hotel dimension. Family hotel feeling. Historic building modernized with care.

Great coffee served in the hotel, micro brewery 3 min away. Hotel terrace with ocean view. Coffee place with rooftop bar and ocean view across the street (2 min).

Overall, a great location to arrive/depart, relax AND explore the city. Beach(es) 5 min away, Metro Stop 5 min away, with direct connection to both relevant train stations (qingdao and qingdao north) as well as May 4 square (dining, shopping). Old town in reach by cab and metro. Olympic area and highest building with City Observatory 1 km away (nice walk).

One Note: Old narrow streets in the area get congested quickly. Metro is an attractive alternative.

Next time in Qingdao, we will make sure to book here again.

Excellent location with easy access to badaguan and the building itself is a historical heritage with some modern modification

Die Pension ist in Strandnähe und ruhig. Morgens sind die Strände noch ruhig. Abends kann man das chinesische Strandleben erleben und dort auch essen gehen.

看到这家民宿我就再也没考虑过其他海景酒店了，因为住在领事馆的体验相信是八大关最好的玩法，何况还是在我最喜欢的太平角。入住发现房间非常宽敞，工作人员超级好，前台小姐姐工作细致贴心，房间干净，每天还有大厨做好的早餐。走路去第三海水浴场也很近。

The room was very comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast very tasty. The building was very interesting. All in all, a great stay

Excellent location in the Badaguan area and just a wonderful historical as well as peaceful place to stay. Best choice in Qingdao.

Location. Outlier character of premises. It’s more of a history museum than a conventional hotel. Some people I came across there were quite memorable. You will not shake the feeling you didn’t sleep in an ordinary hotel.

Location was lovely. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Helped us book tickets for the Tsingdao Museum tour. Breakfast was lovely. Towels and Linnen were clean and fresh.
I will certainly visit again.

Excellent stay in a historical part of Qingdao. The staff had good communication and let me arrive early (6am!) since my train arrived at 5:15. I enjoyed breakfast and worked online until my room was ready at 10:30 (normal check-in time is 12:00). The “Finland Room” with working sauna was great! My 12 year old son enjoyed the museum-like / Nordic atmosphere. Only a few block away from the beautiful “Taiping Bay”, boardwalks and beaches. Dinner options (and live Jazz) across the street from the old Belgian consulate turned restaurants is a good option. The staff cooked an early breakfast for me at 7:30am and we made our 8:48am train back to Beijing with no problem.

The location is really great! It was the former embassy for
Norway and Finland. A five minute walk to the water (500 meters). The area also boast some very interesting establishments, beer lovers, sit, drink and smoke cigars near the sea, etc.. The walk to beach #3 along the seaside while viewing the scenery and the rocks was very intoxicating and relaxing. We also visited Zhongshan park which is about 2 km away and rode the chair lift into the upper portion of the mountain.

Being the old Finnish / Norwegian consulate, this property is pretty special. It's like a little cottage house out of fairy tales, with a short walk to the sea. Owners are friendly and enthusiastic. Breakfast were an elegant faire, just enough, and definitely better than a mediocre buffet at a big hotel. Breakfast was also different each day out of the three days we stayed. Rooms aren't spacious, but big enough, and every room is unique, but access to the whole "house," including different dining rooms on the first floor, and a cool attic with books on the third floor, makes it feel very homey. Instead of eating out, we just ordered in and took advantage of the dining rooms and feel of home.

This was my first visit to Qingdao and upon my arrival to the hotel, the staff was very warm, friendly and accommodating. Although there was a bit of a language barrier at first, we did manage to communicate well enough to finalize my reservation.

The room was very lovely and had a serene calmness to it. The facilities in general were a historian's dream as I literally felt like I was living in a museum (even just for a few days). The decor, wall photos / hangings and other relics walked you through a timeline of the former consulate giving you a sense of what it must've been like in the past. While several amenities have been upgraded, it still managed to preserve the "old" style.

The breakfast was nice and the fresh seasonal fruits were absolutely delicious and sweet! I enjoyed every morsel.

I really enjoyed the location as it was walking distance to several restaurants and scenic spots. You could easily enjoy a walking tour in the area and visit the many neighboring European-styled villas and walk over to the beach on the other side. The boardwalk was a nice stretch along the bathing beaches and a great backdrop for amazing photography.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Qingdao for a few days along the beach in a quiet, yet bustling tourist area.

In the Badaguan，position is great! Near the no.3 subway station.
