Hotels in university city area/Gold dream bay, Qinhuangdao

What a lovely gem of a hotel! I was reluctantly (very reluctantly) persuaded to leave Beijing for the weekend and head for the nesrest beach - Qinhuangdao. The Bullet Train was great fun - we splashed out on first-class tickets and had the first-class cabin all to ourselves. Qinhuangdao was a welcome change of pace from the self-important hussle of Beijing. The bad things first - the weather was terrible and the beach itself is more 1970s Blackpool than present-day Antibes. But the Hampton by Hilton was a delightful surprise. The staff are absolutely delightful. Although they don’t speak English, the use of a few translation apps soon explained to them what we needed and they always did their best to look after us. The rooms are great - we even got a free upgrade to a suite. The breakfast options are many and varied. We were the only Western guests that weekend and the other guests seemed to be Chinese middle-class families. If I had to guess I would say they tended to be from other parts of China as they didn’t seem to be the usual rude impatient Beijingers. It was lovely to see Al the little children having fun with their parents. So, our thanks to the ladies at Reception, the young concierge guys, the housekeepers and the busy breakfast staff. The owners of the this hotel is blessed with great staff. Thank you all so much for looking after us so well.

Travel during the Spring Festival to see the winter sea. It was my first time staying at Atour Hotel. Overall, it was very good and I was quite satisfied. I will come again next time. First of all, the location is relatively superior, facing Shangri-La and across a road. The hotel is also relatively close to the beach. It takes less than ten minutes to drive to the shopping mall. There is also a convenience store downstairs, which is very convenient. The parent-child room we stayed in was right at the corner, so the toilet was relatively narrow and the corridor of the hotel was not very spacious. Atour Hotel has supper at night, just simple porridge and small steamed buns, which is enough to show the hotel's intentions. Each room has its own open kitchenette, which can make some simple food or cook seafood. It is also convenient for families with children to make food for their children, which is very good. The lobby staff of the hotel is particularly enthusiastic. A large group of us had something to do temporarily, so we sat in the lobby for a while. The front desk staff immediately gave each person a glass of water. The service was warm and thoughtful. There were also free snacks and popcorn in the hotel lobby, and the service was comparable to that of a five-star hotel. The breakfast was quite rich and tasted good, but the place was a little small. When I was leaving, I saw an auntie cleaning the hall and mopping in the sink in the hall bathroom. Is there no dedicated sink? It was not clean, which was the only disappointment.

The service is very good, the front desk is very enthusiastic, but parking is too difficult during holidays, and there are people everywhere. The room is very clean, the soundproofing is also very good, the curtains are very light-blocking, and I slept very well.

Booked two days from Ctrip.com. When we checked in at less than five in the afternoon, the elevator was under maintenance. We climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. We thought the environment was OK, the sanitary conditions were OK, and the facilities were relatively new, so we didn't mind staying there. Then we went out with the children and went back at about 9:40 in the evening. Because we were tired after running outside all day, we were ready to wash and rest. As a result, the water flowing out of the faucet was red and yellow, mixed with mud. I called the front desk twice before a young man came and said he would deal with it immediately. I kept draining the water from the room, but the water quality didn't change. I called the front desk again and they replied that they would change our room to the front floor. After that, no one paid attention to us anymore. I felt that the service of this hotel was average, the breakfast was average, and there were not many varieties. In short, I felt that it was not worth the high price. The first picture attached is the water quality at the beginning, and the next one is half an hour after draining the water.

The Shangri-La hotel is a beautiful hotel located in a prime spot next to the beach. There is a great buzz and range of facilities at the hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, however, there were a few frustrating things. I arrived after the check-in time but my room was not yet ready. To compensate for this, I was taken to the executive lounge and my request for a late check out was accepted. At breakfast the next morning, many of the coffee machines had run out of milk and it took a little while for the milk to be topped up.

The room is generally good, but it feels a little small and does not match the 36 square meters. The bath water in the bathroom is okay, but the drain is too blocked. After taking a shower, water flows all over the room. Besides, there is a cabinet opposite the bed. The clothes are made very narrow and have to be placed sideways or crookedly. There is actually a light inside, but the light will not go out automatically when the cabinet is turned off. There is no separate switch setting. The lights in the cabinet follow the gaps in the cabinet. I stayed up all night with my bed in front of me, and I couldn't sleep at all. It's not easy for everyone to find customer service in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid of waking up my family. I hope something can be changed, otherwise I really don't recommend it.

Unexpectedly perfect! The room is very comfortable and even has a smart toilet. And the room has a direct view of the sea, the view is amazing! The hotel is only a 3-minute walk from the beach, and on the other side of the hotel is the famous Qinhuang Alley, where you can eat, drink and have fun! Finally, I would like to praise the hotel's service staff, who are very enthusiastic and the experience is simply great

Comrade Zhan Weiqi at the front desk was very considerate. He introduced the hotel facilities in detail and helped us upgrade to a sea view room. He gave him a great praise. The room is spacious, fully equipped and has floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views. The restaurant is very large and has a variety of food. From the guidance in the parking lot to the reception at the lobby and the room service, the work is very regular and warm. It's very close to the seaside, just a few minutes' walk away.

Nice, basic hotel in a great location. 3.0 star Western standard. Room was clean and spacious. Next door to a great shopping mall and walking distance to a beach and local attractions. Breakfast was fine for the price. Housekeeping is hit-and-miss starting in the afternoons. They forgot to restock our toothbrushes and water bottles more than once. We waited an hour for water one night and they completely skipped turndown service the next night. Probably a staffing issue. Otherwise, the stay was satisfactory and we would choose to stay there again.

The hotel is very new, the room environment is very clean, the room is particularly warm. The service attitude is very good, the front desk mae is also very intimate and likes it very much, next time no matter business travel, vacation and leisure is the first choice...
