Ocean View Hotels in Liaoning, China

"The views are absolutely stunning ☺️, easily comparable to other hotels with ocean views. The room is also very spacious, more than enough for three people in a double room. There's a convenience store right downstairs, and the subway station is just a four or five-minute walk away. In the evenings, on the way back to the hotel, you can also pop over to the nearby Venice Water Town for a stroll."

"The place was very clean, and they even upgraded us to a larger bed room for free. On a clear day, you could even see a partial view of the sea, which was a really nice touch. It was very quiet at night, too, so we slept well."

"A good hotel is key to a successful trip! This hotel is very close to Xinghai Square, and across the bridge is an amusement park. The paths are flat, perfect for strollers or 'baby walkers' (though the area right outside the hotel entrance has cobblestones, which can be a bit bumpy for strollers). The room environment is excellent. We are a family of five – four adults and one child – and stayed in the 'Star Blue' room, which was perfectly spacious. It had a 1.8m bed downstairs plus a tatami mat upstairs, and even a single sofa that could be used for sleeping. The space felt generous. There's also a private little courtyard where you can hang kids' clothes to dry (as long as it's not raining). The hotel has a laundry room with a dryer, so no more bringing dirty clothes home!"

"First off, the location is fantastic – nestled by the mountains and the sea, yet still conveniently close to the city. The architectural style is grand and imposing; it's beautiful both inside and out. It's a photographer's dream with so many picturesque spots, perfect for those who love taking photos. For families or those with kids, I highly recommend a sea-view room. My trip was quite spontaneous; I booked hotels last minute for all three nights. Honestly, the value for money here surpasses the Grand Hyatt, though it might not be as close to Xingyue Square. However, you can easily get around by taxi, or use the hotel shuttle to go down the hill. If the weather's nice, a leisurely stroll down is also enjoyable (you might even spot a deer along Binhai West Road – they're super cute! The complimentary apples from the hotel are a hit with them, even more so than carrots). Plus, the room views here are much better than the Grand Hyatt. Most Grand Hyatt rooms offer an angled sea view, whereas at Yi Fang Castle, the rooms generally face the sea directly, front and center. The service deserves five stars. The front desk staff were gentle and enthusiastic. When we had a minor issue with the toilet in our room, they were proactive in resolving it. They even followed up at check-out to ask about our experience and later called to apologize, concerned about affecting our stay. We only discovered the toilet lid was beeping around 11 PM. A technician came to look, but it seemed like it couldn't be fixed right away. We asked the front desk, and they immediately sent new room cards and upgraded our room. Though it was a small hiccup, we felt truly taken care of. Our whole family unanimously decided we'd stay here again on our next trip to Dalian. It's convenient whether you want to just relax or go out and explore. One small heads-up for those considering staying: the hotel has been open for a while now, so it has that classic, established luxury hotel style. If you prioritize modern facilities, you might want to consider other options. Hotels closer to Donggang tend to be newer. It really depends on individual needs. I'd recommend it to photography lovers, families with kids, and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We didn't dine at the hotel, so I can't comment on the food. However, Dalian has many delicious dining options, and the city isn't too big, so you can easily find great food just by exploring."

"If you don't mind the hygiene, then you can stay here. But the floor was visibly unmopped, the remote control was covered in dust, the bathroom sink and basin were stained, there was still fecal matter in the toilet bowl, and white stains on the chaise lounge... Although I didn't complain or proactively ask the cleaning lady to clean again, shouldn't they still proactively clean during their daily routine? Let's talk about the restaurant. That tiny little space was so crowded that people couldn't even turn around when getting food. The tables were sticky, the chairs were filthy, and my child drank the same beverage for three days for breakfast and still couldn't tell if it was orange juice, amazing! There wasn't even a label by the drink dispenser, so what was it? Fantastic! 👍🏻 They have two robots going back and forth delivering things, and during peak elevator hours, these two take up so much space and cause so much trouble. They just stand right in the middle of the doorway and won't move themselves. People with luggage can't even get in! The cleaning staff also joined the fun. Instead of using the staff elevator, they insisted on competing with guests for the elevators, pushing such a large cart that one person would take up an entire elevator, and once they even took up both! I will never stay in this terrible hotel again! It's dirty, messy, and disorganized! After being an InterContinental member for so many years, this is the first time I've felt that being a member isn't even worth it. This is the worst hotel, bar none!"

"Choosing the right hotel is so important when traveling with family! The room was spacious, spotless, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring my child slept soundly. The staff were incredibly patient and the service was thoughtful and meticulous. The hotel's surroundings are quiet and safe, with plenty of attractions and dining options nearby, and excellent amenities. Our family felt relaxed and comfortable during our stay. It's perfect for family trips, highly recommended!"

"I saw reviews mentioning it was an older hotel before I went, so I was a bit worried about outdated facilities. However, after checking in, I found it to be quite good! While some furniture and wallpaper definitely show their age, I think it's acceptable. You can tell from the pictures that the hotel has a good aesthetic, and they've clearly put in time and effort to maintain it well. The front desk service during check-in was just right – very friendly but not overly enthusiastic. I got an upgraded room thanks to my Trip.com benefits, and they even reminded me that I could get discount coupons at the Japanese restaurant on the third floor. The hotel's swimming pool is very well-maintained! The water quality is excellent. Probably because the shallowest part is 1.7 meters deep, everyone there is actually serious about swimming! It's fantastic!!! Big thumbs up! The only slight disappointment was that there are quite a few foreign guests at the hotel. Despite clear signs in both Chinese and English, with large notices on the door to the hot spring area stating no electronic devices are allowed, I still encountered a foreigner doing exactly that. I immediately spoke up. From her reaction, it didn't seem like she was unaware. I hope the hotel can strengthen its management; these rules shouldn't only apply to obedient local guests, otherwise, it's really quite unsafe. Perhaps they could add an extra reminder during check-in and when getting keys for the changing room. They shouldn't avoid saying anything due to language barriers or fear of trouble (after all, every time I went to get the changing room key, I was reminded of the closing time)."

"Staying with kids was a fantastic experience! The room was super spacious, and the cleanliness was impeccable; the bedding was fresh and odorless. The staff were really friendly and attentive to our little ones. It was also easy to get around and explore nearby attractions. All the toiletries we needed were provided, and the hot water was consistent. We felt so safe and comfortable, and the whole family was very satisfied!"

"The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of Zhongshan Square, with convenient access to dining, accommodation, and transportation. My only issue was having to switch rooms upon arrival (I was traveling with a child and had specifically requested a room without any unpleasant odors when booking, but the first room reeked, even with an air purifier running – surely the hotel should have noticed this before guests do). Housekeeping was prompt, and the pool was clean and tidy. Aside from the price, I was quite satisfied. Since breakfast wasn't included, we explored the local eateries. KFC, Hezhanjia (Japanese), Qicaihe (Korean), and Yizao Yiwan (for tofu pudding and fried dough sticks) were all great. For groceries, Xinlongjia supermarket had fresh fruit. Dalian Shopping Mall wasn't far and offered plenty of dining options. All in all, it's a suitable hotel for families."

"Dalian Xinghai Lying Flat Hotel ✨ A Southern Belle's Dream Come True! What a gem of a hotel I stumbled upon in Dalian! I honestly didn't want to leave the Meihau R Hot Spring Hotel (Xinghai Square Branch) – it was pure bliss from start to finish.😭 The location is unbelievably perfect! Xinghai Square is just a few steps away, making it super easy to feed the seagulls, enjoy the ocean breeze, and capture panoramic city views. The subway station is only about 1km away, an easy walk. The river view is fantastic, and the overall environment is quiet and elegant, a welcome escape from city noise. Their service truly won over this southerner! The front desk staff were so gentle and attentive. The breakfast spread was incredibly varied, and an auntie even specially fried an egg for me on the spot – talk about attention to detail. The room was super spacious; we got upgraded to a river-view room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered such a healing view. It was roomy and comfortable. The biggest surprise was the hotel's own scrubbing and hot spring center. My first Northern-style scrubbing experience – I'm hooked! So relaxing and stress-relieving. There's also a secret garden on the rooftop, perfect for a drink and a chat on a breezy evening. The ambiance was absolutely perfect ✨ Honestly, no complaints at all. Convenient for getting around, amazing views, warm service, and excellent facilities. If you're visiting Dalian Xinghai, lock this place in. You won't regret it! #DalianTravel #XinghaiSquare"
