Excellent stay ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
Pros:

Excellent stay! ❤️❤️❤️

We had a wonderful stay at this unique hotel in Qingdao. The building, which was once the Finnish and Norwegian Embassy, has a beautiful European atmosphere full of history and charm. Staying here felt like stepping back in time while still enjoying all the modern comforts.

Our room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the beach, beautiful parks, and many of Qingdao’s most famous attractions.

The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our stay even more memorable.

We absolutely loved the unique character of this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable stay in Qingdao. We would definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Тихий кусочек истории
Pros:

Приятное историческое место в отличном районе. До двух пляжей можно дойти за 8-10 минут. С одного (номер 3) вид на ночные небоскрёбы с подсветкой, второй небольшой и очень приятный для купания. Историческое здание, где приятно провести время. Хороший персонал. Отличный кофе.

Cons:

Завтраки вкусные, но однообразные: каждый день одно и то же, отличаются только салат и фрукты. Сам завтрак хорош, но за неделю, конечно, надоедает.

Pros:

Lovely period stay, evocative and comfortable. The room with the sauna was particularly nice and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the shower hot and good pressure.

Cons:

The shower is over the toilet essentially and makes everything wet in the entire bathroom- for the money that didn’t feel so good. The breakfast was very average but tasty enough.

There was something on downstairs and there was a lot of noise as the people left, enough to wake me up.

On checkout there was nobody to help with my heavy luggage down the stairs.

Great location in the heart of historic Qingdao
Pros:

Comfortable, clean rooms in a historic part of Qingdao. Very quiet location, and the Qingdao coastal path is just a few minutes walk away.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like, though it’s worth pointing out that this is a historic building and not a luxury hotel, so the bathroom is necessarily basic, though clean and perfectly functional! I thought the breakfast could have been more interesting.

值得体验的青岛特色民宿
Pros:

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。

Cons:

因为属于历史建筑,没办法大拆大建,浴室配备并不理想。另外,地面、窗帘清洁度有待提高。

Pros:

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 .

Perfect Place for Family Vacation in Qingdao
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

Das W-LAN ist kaum nutzbar und für das Zimmer ist der Preis deutlich zu hoch.
