Jingli Villa Hotel (Qingdao Badaguan Scenic Area Linhuaiguan Road Branch)

Nice privately-owned hotel in an old building right in the middle of the historical former German district. I enjoyed the stay. A couple of things you need to realize, though: 1) no supermarkets around. The nearest convenience store is a good 500 meters walk at "Taipinjiao Park" subway station; 2) no budget restaurants/Western fast food shops. Plenty of fancy overpriced local food restaurants nearby, however; 3) room cleaning is light. They just replace trash bags and towels. No making up the bed or floor mopping; 4) you'll see ants, mosquitoes and an occasional spider in the room, as it's located in a very old Japanese-occupation era building in a garden-like environment. But they warn you about that in the hotel Welcome message. Plus the hotel provides an anti-mosquito pluggable device. Use it. 5) there's a restaurant on premices right in front of the hotel rooms. They play music, but not loud enough to bother me. They close shop at 8pm. There's another restaurant right next door. That one is louder, but even them wind up at around 9pm. So, it didn't bother me... 6) the manager is very much responsive. He sent me a welcome message the day before I checked in, plus the hotel exact location map, so I could find it. The other hotel/restaurant staff are very friendly also. I enjoyed the stay. Bathing Beach 2 (an old German pivate villas beach) is right next door, so I did plenty of sunbathing and swimming. Fun...
